    Unregulated rent prices and stagnant wages are the reason for homelessness. It's not always the drugs and alcohol like we wanna believe.

      Right, it's not always drugs/Alcohol, but a lot of them have issues. I worked in the homeless shelters for our church. We can't help those that aren't willing to help themselves. Only a few survive.

    For decades people would rather live on the streets of whatever city then to go into a shelter.
    The streets may be mean , but the shelters are even meaner.
    They get their things stolen , raped , bullied fights , so on and so on .
    I've talked to many homeless people that say no thanks to the shelters, no matter how cold or how hot .
    God help them .

      As much as I wish homelessness didn’t exist, some people can’t be helped.
      You can’t teach an addict to not do drugs. The addict must possess a desire to get clean and stay clean.
      You can’t help someone with mental illness if they refuse to take medication.
      You can’t teach money management to someone who doesn’t want to be taught. Also, teaching money management to someone who has a mental illness and/or addiction to cigarettes, alcohol, or drugs is hopeless.
      You can’t convince someone to obey the rules if they do not have the desire to do so.
      It’s incredibly difficult to find a good paying job with benefits for someone who has a felony criminal record, reeks like cigarettes, has poor social skills, has problems with authority, or dislikes rules.
      You can’t tell a person to get a job (and keep a job) if they don’t have a desire to work.

      "There is no reason anyone should be homeless." They said the reason straight out twice in this video. "Because I don't like rules" EVERY place has rules. From a homeless shelter to owning your own home. I own a home but I have to follow the rules of making my payments, not disturbing my neighbors, paying my gas, electric, and water bills, getting to work everyday so I can pay those bills and manging my money. There's a dozen different reasons for homelessnes. The only ones who are going to get out of it are those willing to follow rules. I know this for a fact as I was one of them. Homeless in a shelter following their rules so I could stay there. Got a job and followed their rules so I didn't get fired and got my pay. Following rules every single day of my life in order to survive.

    They just need to build mini shelter parks in every major city so if people fall that far down they have a place which is safe, warm and dry and gives them a footing or stops them falling like this.
    I have seen a few of them around, the homes are small cabins that are flat packed and very cost effective.

    Homeless Americans choose tents for security. Homeless shelters are only over night. Out by 8am. You might get a bed 3 nights out the week. It's called turn style. Shelters are only financed enough to hold you back till your ID expires. Then cops can get you in jail for a long sit.
    .
    Tents were little more secure. Hold some food. Little clean clothes.. etc.
    .
    When the country was screaming help the homeless, cops had no choice. So with a smile, they gutted assistance.
    ..
    Now it's becoming summer, tent cities. Maybe cops were just Putting inside men in shelters for future crime wave??
