San Fran Billionaire Gives $30M to Study Why There Are Homeless People

[Deno]

Why are people homeless?

Bad luck
Bad choices
Economic issues beyond their control
They choose to be homeless
Mental issues


What is wrong with studying why?

Because as you just showed, we already know the reasons. The money would be better spent on shelters and food banks.

No, my plan would be better.....

-Jail all employers that knowingly hire illegal aliens.

-End all worker visa programs.

-Base Federal tax for corporations at 30% of revenue.

-Raise minimum wage to $23.50/hr. Based on where minimum wage should be using 1970-2019 rise in food, shelter, and transportation.

-Eliminate all business subsidies (deductions/write-offs/write-downs) except for employee expenses which are deducted dollar-for-dollar on all city, state, and Federal taxes and fees with the Feds refunding city, State, and fees.

-Companies with unlimited employees; employee expenses above the deduction are subsidized at 100% with funds usually give back to the States.

-Adjust Social Security and private/public retirement and pension payments using 1970-2019 price structure.

-Remove the FICA limit.

-Back down ALL costs, prices, fees, to January 1, 2009 levels and hold them for 15 years which will eliminate inflation.

-Recall ALL off-shore investments tax free, and disallow any further off-shore investments.

-Make inversion illegal.

My plan would reduce business costs for employees and taxes to 30%. That's a 15%-30% drop.

My plan would put BILLIONS into the economy daily.

My plan would put the $100 trillion plus currently owned by corporate America back into the economy.

My plan would end all welfare.

My plan would significantly increase social security and pension payments.

Homelessness is a life style and who am I to deny them their right of Pursuit of Happiness. Defund SSI and give the money to SSR, Social Security Retirement.

Homelessness is caused by failed systems. It is not a result of lifestyle choices.

Compare and contrast the American Worker of the 50's vs today and you'll have your answer.

Like all Tards you are full of shit.

The problem with most liberal Studies on social issues

Is common sense is taken out of the equation..

First off no one sane chooses to be homeless...........

Homelessness is a result of other issues....

It could start out with the loss of a soul mate or a child...

It could be from physical or mental health issues....

Some may just not have the mental capabilities to succeed.

Liberals promote and facilitate drug use and homelessness with their policies....

Real solutions require facts be faced for what they are...

Long story short, those that are capable of improvement need to

be motivated to do so with common sense means that work.

What is wrong with studying why?

HAha.... because you just gave the answer!

Please explain

C'mon...
Why do people make bad decisions? - that is not a question you can answer, because each person's reasons are going to be different, or the levels of the mixture of reasons.
Why are people lazy?... because they don't want to work. Their desire to do nothing is higher than their desire for stability.
Why do people abuse drugs? - again, impossible to answer with any degree of meaningful resolve. There are not that many reasons why, only a handful. And each person's abuse is due to a mixture of those reasons.

That $30 million would have been better use to build 1,000's of public restrooms for them to take a dump in rather than turning San Fran into one giant toilet.

OR PERHAPS...a more meaningful question to study... Why do people STAY homeless.
Except, they won't study that, because the reasons will challenge the policies of those they support.

A detailed study will evaluate the causes of homelessness. There are many
It will also look at the effectiveness of current solutions, what works, what doesn’t
It is a complex problem with no easy fix
A study can best determine how to most effectively spend our funding

And when you find out 95% is due to mental illness and drug abuse, what are you going to do, act like no one knows those are big issues with the homeless?

[Dogmaphobe]

The cities that do the most for the homeless end up with the most homeless. As the homeless population rises, they do more and more leading to even more homeless.

and then they spend money trying to figure out why they have so many homeless...….

Lol
You embrace frivolousness...

Nothing frivolous
It is a legitimate social issue

All throwing 30 million dollars at a study or even a government run program will do is make a bunch of liberal professors, think tanks, government workers ,and politicians rich ( the people conducting the study in other words )The homeless will still be homeless.

 

[Jitss617]

Could have told him. Democrat policy.. you never see homeless in towns run by republicans

No it won't.
There have already been many studies on it.
And for damn sure, how the government will spend resources will have little to do with anything other than political reasons. PERIOD.
I would propose a more fruitful study - Why did the liberal social policies of the 50's - 80's fail so miserably? Why did they actually increase the poverty levels of the areas they were employed, but also dramatically increase the chances of those "served" off spring to also stay in poverty.

You wouldn't like that study.

Easy answer

Because wages have remained stagnant in spite of a surging economy and minimum wage has not been increased in ten years

Which has absolutely nothing to do with liberal social policies of the 50's - 80's.

Social programs are a good expendeture of a great nation

Military funding is mostly a waste

No more than any other study

We spend billions on these programs. Spending 30 million to study where it is best spent is a wise investment

The guy has to be a Democrat because Republicans simply don’t care about people. Not even their own base.
They just stoke their fears with racism and then live off the easy votes.

We have made much progress

Brought electricity, phone, clean water to impoverished regions
Provided free and low cost healthcare to the poor
Provided a social safety net
Provided educational opportunities and jobs training

We have done a better job than the military hawks have done in keeping us out of unnecessary wars

That is the problem in our impoverished regions in both our urban and rural areas. There are no jobs to be had, even if the people are trained

[Eric Arthur Blair]

Give a man a fish and you feed him for a day; teach a man to fish and you feed him for a lifetime.

Give him a bus ticket to Seattle and put him on the city dole and he will
never have to worry about feeding himself ever again. Or buying weed and cigarettes. Or having a place to live. Or his own health care.

It sure as fuck is not a democrat
because they would never teach a man to fish. They don't believe in personal responsibility. They do believe in collective guilt, as you demonstrate however.
