The man that does not know what a dozen eggs or a gallon of gas cost is downing those who are unhoused. What total idiot this man is. And of course, the othee billionaire, his father figure, is listening to him.
When he says “What you actually have are violent drug zombies with dead eyes, and needles and human feces on the street.” he reminds me of trump coming down the golden escalator and calling immigrants "rapists and murderers." He is playing the Orban card. Orban peached and is still preaching the dangers of immigrants to Hungary until be finally killed their democracy by taking over the media and flooding voters will misinformation.
The "homeless" consist of the following.
1. Mentally ill who are unable to hold viable jobs and can't be institutionalized against their will. Reason: You can thank the ACLU for that.
2. Alcohol and Drug addicts with severe addictions who can't hold viable jobs. Reason: Bad life choices. Blame is on them.
3. Criminals deliberately on the move to avoid arrest. Reason: Bad life choices. Blame is on them.
4. Elderly with no family support and companies won't hire. Blame falls on the government for not ensuring some health care, food and a basic place to stay.
5. Women and their kids with no support. Blame: It's a very individual thing, often not their own fault. This is another area where the government could step in.
6. Teens/young adults who didn't give a crap about getting an education, dropped out thinking education and following authority is wrong and they generally turn to #2.
7. Hobos. Just people who don't want a roof over their heads and like drifting from town to town and getting temp work in each town they go to. It cropped up in the 1930's and never went away. No blame and no solution. They're happy being that way.
The US government pays out 2 billion dollars each year in maintaining vacant buildings. There's no reason that some of those buildings can't be converted into some form of basic housing for some of the above.
As an enlisted member in the military, I stayed in some barracks that were large rooms with rows of bunks and lockers, with group showers. We had no problem surviving in that environment. In other barracks, the buildings had cubicles that had four to a cubicle with lockers. Others had two personnel to a room, with each person having one locker, one dresser and a shared desk. For single males, this scenario would work fine for them, whereas with couples and women with kids, other scenarios would have to be implemented in buildings.
All would have to be patrolled have social workers available.
