  • I saw a few online list of the "worst homeless cities in USA" It was a top 25. they literally just used stats complied by cities and went off overall population. Clearly per capita rates are a better metric. Even better, knowing that no one can count homeless people and these cities LIE! So, based off my real life travel and some analytical refferances, we can assure you THIS LIST high here is the one you need to see. These are the TOP 30 WORST HOMELESS cities in USA. Those Online list missed the mark by far. We are looking at REAL HOMELESS, unsheltered populations.
    What is a homeless problem?
    1. Unsheltered homeless
    2. Overdose Rates
    3. Living Conditions
    4. Help Options
    5. Safety
    6. Being a victim of crime
    7. Police profiling
    8. Weather Conditions
    9. addition rates
    10. population of homeless people
    many online list ONLY look at population of homeless, overlooking many other important factors.

    If homelessness is such a minor problem in San Francisco then why did Hilton abandon their downtown hotel that they recently refinanced and so many businesses closing or moving out of SF and there is so much shoplifting and vehicles being broken into by homeless. Also why is there so much human waste in the streets that was not there ten years ago.😊

      I don’t think you listened to the first part of the post. He didn’t include places that have programs for the homeless. high basic needs cost / wages + no programs to help the homeless = bad place to be homeless. Southern states will compose most of the areas on this list. Especially 9.00 an hour wage Florida.

    Permanent homeless is equivalent to the five stages of death: Denial, Anger, Bargaining, Depression, and finally Acceptance. Once Acceptance is reached, this is their life, they will adapt, some thrive, they learn how to live homeless, where to get food, where medical services are available, share resources with friends, just like a prisoner becomes institutionalized, homeless will adapt to their situation.

Been watching videos of them build ground shelters, digging a pit in the ground, laying logs across the top, then putting the dirt on top of logs, results in insulated shelter plus they have fire, food, & water, all the basics to survive. People have been living like that for thousands of years, right out of the stone age.

      It's hard to believe but a lot of the people choose to be homeless. They don't want to work or have someone tell them what to do. They learn to get by on very little and do just fine. I don't feel sorry for the homeless that are addicted to drugs or alcohol, that is a choice that they made and most don't want to change. The biggest majority of homeless people wouldn't take a job to help themselves if you offered it to them. The ones that are homeless because of sickness, age or are disabled I do feel sorry for. I'm not heartless but I believe in helping yourself, and if you are not willing to help yourself then you shouldn't expect other people to do it for you. Now all of that aside the money our government is spending on illegals, who are bringing in more drugs and crime, and sending to other countries would go a long ways on fixing the homeless problems. They can't keep taxing us to take care of other people's problems or we will become homeless and hungry ourselves.

      @@ml12street70I have to disagree. I recently became homeless and I have been with a consistent job since 2016. Sometimes the cost of living just doesn’t match up with what you are offered pay wise. Luckily i can afford rooms until I get another place. And from what I’ve seen of those on the street that are on drugs. Majority aren’t willingly homeless but are suffering from mental illness to which there are no services to help all of them. The drugs are usually taken to quell the voices in their head. Does it work? That’s debatable but overall I disagree that most homeless are in that situation due to laziness. It’s easier to get up and work (if you can) then to survive on the street especially if it’s a 4 season city you live in

    In the 80 miles west to east in Suffolk there are about 1.5 million people. More than most of the areas you mentioned here.
    Homelessness is less than 4000. Unsheltered is about 50. Yes 50.

Churches using their estates for tiny home villages ?

    Denver is not really like you describe it, not really at all. I worked in downtown Denver most of 2023, and at various places-I was in many locations. There was no homeless 'camp' at Mile High Stadium, just two tents and those went away after a couple of weeks. No camp at Ball Arena. No camp at Tivoli Quad. I can drive a good ways down Colfax and see no camps. You have to get into the nitty gritty to see homeless tents and poop in the streets, it's just wildly exaggerated. There are too many people and not enough housing, and the apartments that exist are $1600/month for the trashiest one, and there is no way to afford that and everything else for many people; so they have to live in the street. Politics IS the reason it's like this. Many can't rent an apartment because they can't pass a credit check; I have NO credit record and my applications get denied. So then you are living with no address, and applying for benefits with no address and no reliable way of communicating is not so easy. Do not badmouth the homeless of Denver, you have no idea.

    Yeah Fresno does have a homeless problem like almost no other. It's still California though, and you still get friendly Californians who will be hospitable to you. You will still be welcomed no matter what race, or gender you are, and nobody judges your sexual orientation. Fresno is infinitely better than a lot of southern cities like Jackson, Birmingham, Raleigh, Charlotte, Memphis, or Baton Rouge where the people there are blatantly racist, rude, and filled with criminals. Fresno may be bad by California standards, but it's still above a lot of southern cities not counting Florida or Texas. That should show you the quality of California people. Everybody needs to stop spreading lies about California being bad when their worst city is better than their best cities.

    Another way this video presenter lies is that he says that Kansas City and Oklahoma City are bad places. I work out of our office in the Miami area and I'm in Kansas City and Oklahoma City all the time with our properties there. This guy is completely lying when he talks about these cities. Are there homeless in every city? of course there are. That's not the point it's a comparative analysis that makes the difference and he simply does not know what he's talking about. As an example, Kansas City Missouri is one of the great cities in the world right now if not ruined by its current demon rat mayor, that is. Icelandair did a study and showed that Kansas City Missouri was the number one location in the world for a working vacation in 2023. Vienna Austria, always one of my favorite cities in the world, came in number two, by the way. Look it up.

    We need RFK as president! He has a fantastic plan to set up organic farms across the country, where addicted individuals can go to get clean. They live and work on the farm, with drug councilors helping them to get clean. The stays there could be a year, or more. They are productive, earning their keep and learn how to heal and reenter society. We are failing with drug addiction, which is a big contributor to the homeless problem. Go RFK!!

    Thanks for the educational video! I am fortunate to have lived in the Midwest all my life. There's plenty of work here for those that want it. There are some homeless that set up camps in the woods. When a reporter went to talk with them they stated that they just want people to leave them alone. I remember when I was 16 I was filling up my jalopy when an old man came up to me and asked for money. He said he ran out of gas in his truck and needed to get bome. I gave him a $10 which is all I had on me. Back then $10 got you 10 gallohs.. He went straight inside and bought cigarettes. You just don't know who really needs the help sometimes.

    Your biases come through pretty clearly, But I don't think you're actually aware of it. It's likely innate coming from your background. You're predictable in the way that you look at these people and draw your own conclusions. The typical talking points: Mental illness, addiction to just being a bum gaming the system by 'faking needing a wheel chair' for benefits.
    I spent the better part of thirteen years being one of the working homeless. 40-60 hours a week. And as a direct result of policy. As are so many others. And for reasons you've probably never even considered.
    You get some of your facts right, however it's just simply hard to take you seriously, otherwise because you get so much else wrong.

    I have lived in Denver for almost 20 years and I can tell you that you are completely wrong. People don't poop in the street. The only homeless are in a small part of downtown by the capital, because that is the only place we let them exist. If they set up a tent anywhere else either the police move them or locals from the area come equipped with guns and beat them up, trash their tent, and take their gun(because homeless people should not have guns). This all happens within a few hours of them setting up the tent.
    Most of Denver is very beautiful, just stay away from Capitol Hill.

    My city in Texas (Corpus Christi) also has a homeless population. I've seen people here in my city beg the public for money on local streets, freeways, and outside buildings like fast- food restaurants and convenience stores. Those who struggle getting jobs need to turn themselves around by working decent jobs or getting enough help from the government or both. They can also turn to some local churches for help in getting clothes, food and drink (except alcohol), haircuts, toiletries, and even taking showers. One of my local churches has that type of service for them. They can also help them find jobs.

I have heart disease, kidney disease HBP diabetes. And 100 other problems health wise . I am going to die in this shelter and a lot sooner than I'm ready for.1year ago it was being afraid it would be a tent or under a bridge. My husband has been gone close to 2 years cause he couldn't deal with me passing away . What a champ I picked.

    You could probably renovate and establish homeless shelters in the many empty military barracks in the area for a couple of million or FEMA trailors. Make it a Federal program instead of draining taxpayers" needed money for other projects. The Federal program would completely remove the homeless encampments off the streets of Los Angeles. Clothing, Food, Shelter, medical, mental and job training would be provided. A city bus service would be set up to allow the homeless to come and go from the barracks but it would be with the caveat that if they are found living on the streets again they would be transported back to the barracks. Can anyone tell me why this would not work. Does anyone have the initiative to take this on. I am 72 yrs old with an idea.

The fentanyl & Tranq drug problem in Kensington, and really throughout the entire US, is outta control!!! We have Americans dying by the 10s of thousands from the drugs being smuggled in & having the borders open just makes it so much easier for the drugs to get in. Don’t some people stop to think…why are all the drugs that are coming over the border from cheap, highly addictive & literally cause open bodily wounds if used…it’s because other countries are trying to kill us! We need to stop focusing on ensuring illegal immigrants have free food, housing, credit cards,etc & instead focus on what we need to do for the American people that need help and assistance, especially our veterans! The men and women that fought to ensure our safety & freedom go hungry & live on the streets…I just can’t wrap my head around how people can stand up and fight for illegal immigrants but not our veterans!

They mostly live in cities where there is warmth and food. Homeless people can collect cans, metal and cardboard and exchange them for money. They are all alcoholics. They drink to the wolf every day. I look out the window. Life is cheap here. But what I saw on video in America... Homeless people have no chance for a future.
