- (28 Jul 2023) Homeless people are among the people most likely to die in the extreme heat in metro Phoenix.

Landlords raise rents, while employers lower the wages. You do the math.
You hit the root cause of the homeless crisis across the country. Not the typical "they're lazy", "they're all drug addicts", and "they choose to be homeless" nonsense
Also, America is a car society. In other countries you don’t have to buy a car. Better public transportation for easier job access. No need for expensive car payments
The fact that America does little to help these unfortunate people is just sad.
What are you talking about? July put taco bell out of business with all the free tacos when the temp is over 100 degrees. Right!?
You seem like a kind person, so maybe we should send them to your house.
They have the opportunity to help themselves.
Send them your next paycheck. Problem solved

That's for the rich and privileged to do. They can start out contributing, as they should.
all those say they need to get a job, think about this - most places won't hire you if you don't have an address. also they don't have access to clean clothes or showers for months at a time. and this is only ONE person interviewed, you don't know his story or any of the others in tent cities.
I remember being in Benson in August. I thought i would pass out walking from the car to the door of the local Walmart and back again. I drove back to my in-laws and fell asleep on the bed. That sun took me out!!! So I can't even imagine what it feels like all day every day in those hellish temperatures.
This breaks my heart. Sitting here myself in this heatwave with an air conditioner I can't imagine the discomfort of those in "The Zone" and other places like it. My thoughts and prayers to all of them.
Stop trying to imagine it.
And stop your worthless virtue signaling.
Get off your ever-growing rear-end and go live in a tent on the hot pavement.
Then, and only then, you won't have to try to imagine what they go through.
But to make it more real, get yourself a drug habit that is slowly taking your life and throw away all your education above an 8th grade level.
Then add some prior arrests and bad morals to the mix Pour refined sugar on your teeth and never brush in order to cause gum disease and tooth rot.
But most of all, be comfortable sitting in your own filth.
Then, blame the system.
Better yet, blame rich people because somehow their success made these knuckle-dragging people make bad choices. LOL.
Toodles!
Love your heart ❤️
My heart aches for them..
The cooling rainfall will not come in time , it has been blocked . Someone in your nation does not tell you the whole truth ,
There is more to that than climate change.
sigh .....
Send them your next paycheck.
It’s everywhere. We got it here in San Diego. Tent city living on freeways. What happened to our country?
Late stage capitalism and corporate greed.
Malignant Capitalism and lack of Empathy.
@@jeffs4483 All of the above.
The 1980s closing of asylums for one
Greedy politicians and immoral corporations happened. Blackrock and Vangard own over 90% of homes in USA and they never stop increasing the rent...
This is scary because it could happen to anyone. Keep sending buses, water and help.
Don't give up on others and expect them to not give up on themselves. We all deserve mental health.
I wouldn’t wanna live down there in that heat in a home with 4 heat pumps blasting ac. I can’t even imagine how they do it in a tent
They do it the way humans have for the past 500,000+ years when there was no air conditioning. You sound really dumb like a sheep.
Better move to San Francisco then
What are you doing to get up and out of your situation? You are young with your whole life ahead of you. Where do you want to be in 6mns, a year, 5 years? What's your plan? What's 'your ' plan for 'your' life? You have this one life to live....how are you gonna live it? Your entire life is ahead of you. I hope you figure it out and decide to fight for your future!
I wouldnt live in Phoenix if i got 5000 billion dollars..
The American dream is dying for 90% of the population facts
You make plans, the universe laughs.
Even with health insurance, medical bills are #1 reason for bankruptcy
People on fixed income evicted. Seniors on the streets. Companies defaulting on pensions. The american dream is loooong gone.
Stay safe out there guys
Get a job ,get off the street and stop wanting everyone else to feel sorry and look after you. That is your choice, ..
What jobs? The jobs the Capitalists sent to Asia and Mexico?
Looks like they need to go look for a job.
Get a job with a/c lol
@@breaddropper3900 I would lol
@@barryrammer7906 even if they did get one they wouldn't keep it lol

A lot of jobs are not likely to cover the cost of rent on your average 1-bedroom apartment. You gotta fix the root of the issue before any change happens.
I was wondering and hoping the cities were doing something to hydrate and give any relief to the less fortunate, even if you do have a home, esp elderly, are at risk of hyperthermia
Arizona heat is unbearable. Praying for them.
😢 none of us ever know when one of our relatives might be living on the streets
Decisions one makes! 10-15-18 when you make a decision to do what will your life will become.
Most people are just one unexpected emergency away from homelessness.
@@jeffs4483 sad truth!
Stats show most people don’t have an extra $500 for an emergency
Edmonton, Alberta Canada has numerous tent communities too. Because they keep on getting ordered by police to move. Any extreme of weather is impossible for us humans to cope with all of the time without enough shelter, water and food. When we are suffering from exposure regardless of which extreme that is for sure a kind of temporary madness exists sometimes in which the person starts removing their clothing. That is an emergency. Not an occasion for someone to be taken advantage of.
The cooling rainfall will not come in time , it has been blocked . Someone in your nation does not tell you the whole truth ,
There is more to that than climate change.
sigh .....
Edmonton does not get heat like this, but you freeze your nuts off in the winter.
Even in the shade, you need water constantly to keep hydration, or you'll suffer heat exhaustion. I know first hand from experience being days out under that Arizona sun during the summer. Water will save your life, shade also.
Where’s all these peoples families? Why is it okay in the west to a abandon your family
Not everyone has a family.
I call this "Summer". It's a crazy little conspiracy theory I'm working on.
Instead of buying all of those bycicles that he has in his tent maybe he should save that money for a place to stay.🤣
dude its a city of phoenix bus and its called articulated bus not extended
Dude checking his vein for his next fix. 0:24. Gotta get sober. We are just enabling these people.
He was showing me the bumps he had on his arm from heat rash.
Could never live down there i hate the heat
What a horrible state, I know because my brother lives there… even with A/C its like living in a rocky sand-pit at the bottom of the earth!
after they fall asleep on the bus they drive them to LA or venice beach and they're so happy
No that would never happen
You see these buses just run part time 5 days a week excluding holidays and weekends and these are taking people to downtown Phoenix in the AM and from in the pm
3 hours in the AM and 3 in the pm via freeways
Wow, jazziez must be a valedictorian! 🤪💩🤪💩
"The hyper-politization of summer heat being pushed by people with a radical-left partisan agenda is tiring and hardly worth acknowledging." - Andrew Wilder AZ GOP State House spokesman July 24, 2023 in response to a question by a reporter about whether the AZ State Republicans had any concerns about the unprecedented heat wave.
This is nothing new.
And this is why so many make their way to the coast (Portland, Seattle, Frisco, LA)
These man looks fine. He walks fine..he speaks clearly..no gibberish. Why is he not working? Plain lazy. He likes to sleep and live or free even if it means cooking in the heat. Dont enable people like him. Broke but the all have touch screen phones and data. Hmmm what for?
Judging by the tattoos, he may have just gotten out of jail. A lot of employers won't hire if this is in your history. Don't judge
@@biancap1549 excuses. Maybe 10 yrs ago. Now..tattoos..a record dont mean nothing. There is always a way and a job.
@@albertorozco5981 Yeah, but will that job be enough to cover today's expenses? Find the root and dig it out.
I remember 40 years ago in the SUMMER it always gets hot lol
You sound dumb boomer, lol
This video is about blaming other people That's stereotyping right there
Dig under ground its cool down there build some cooling centers they can live down there without being a eyesore.
Put you down there without being a fcktard eyesore
You calling them eyesores, have you looked in the mirror uggo?
People want free handouts with no work requirements. People should stop letting them selves down. Get a job you’re counting on yourself. Don’t let your self become homeless.
Oh man you make it So Easy Windows , why dont YOU give some of these People a Job, let them mow for you, or clear your garage. Weanus😮
What jobs? The jobs the Capitalists sent to Asia and Mexico?
How about all those ppp loans that mtg got & NEVER paid back- P0S
send them to California where the weather is perfect. or send them to cooler states in the summer.
With any luck, the heat will continue, and we can finally rid neighborhoods of these parasites. Mother nature has a wonderful way of taking its own trash out.
That doesn't explain why you're still alive.
Because I’m not a bottom feeding liberal. I am a productive member of society.
cities and states have spent billions on the homeless situation and gotten nowhere
Drugs and/or not paying attention in free K-12 public schools gets you this.
You have to work hard to become a greater value to society in order to keep from being this bad off.
Totally avoidable.
Your birth was totally avoidable but unfortunately it happened.
Try getting a JOB I've heard that it will help.
