- A large homeless encampment underneath the boards in Atlantic City, New Jersey is being shut down, displacing at least 50 people. NBC10’s Ted Greenberg has the details.
But we can give billions to other countries.. That really makes me sick
I'm on your side. ♡ Everyone deserves a Home.
Notice they said they would offer these people help but they never said they have housing available for them. We all know they were moved for the concert and they will be right back when it is over.
How are they going to maintain their housing or a job if they're out back smoking crack jack?
@@lover2ed134 I actually prefer them living under the bridge. Out of site out of mind. The last thing I want is to see them nodding off, using needles and hitting the pipe on the boardwalk.
It’s not like there are any real plans for them anyway. The best idea would be to take them to the least publicly dense farm areas that have no real transportation. Build tiny homes and don’t let them leave until they have completed a trade, build a few homes, seen some doctors (mental and physical) and reconnect with family members.
Other wise we are all basically just waiting for them to die. If we are going to spend a over a hundred thousand a year for each of them may as well make it count.
That's great they helped build America at some point
@@brownbarrett6842 pretty sure life feels the same way about you you not better drugs are no drugs make a difference boy
@@sheilar.washington3191 I didn’t say I was better. I said these people need real help or leave them where they are. That is what I would want if I was in that position. Now they will loose the little bit that they have.
I deal with homeless people everyday at work. I am telling you what’s needed from experience not some PC trash that keeps homeless people going in circles. There is big money in keeping people on the streets chasing their tail.
There is absolutely no way that city officials and public works people did not know that a homeless encampment was there. Those people have been living there for over a year and they’re claiming they didn’t know about it? That is a lie. They just chose to look the other way until a big event was coming and realized, Uh Oh, we now have to do something about these people because we don’t want them embarrassing us in front of tourists.
I am the man at 2:11 and the city absolutely knew about this for a LONG time. I was homeless in AC 15 years ago and I slept under that pier and I have been outreaching to the homeless under that pier for years. The Police knew and the agencies knew.
You are correct. They knew and did nothing until it was time to showcase the pier. The people will continue to vote for liars, so they'll continue to get what they've been getting. LIES.
You dont know shit about my city, so probably best to not comment. There is actually a chance that they were NOT aware, as this is NOT the first time this EXACT concert has taken place in the SAME location. Why would they magically decide to remove the homeless THIS time, and not the LAST time this exact event took place less than 3 years ago. Dont get me wrong, city officials are full of shit, but it just doesnt make any sense that they choose this concert to enact action instead of the LAST 5 times.
How could you not notice the stench, emanating from it?
You're right & just to know the streets are named after the MONOPOLY game 🤔
Gut wrenching they let this go on for so long
Pehaps, it is gut wrenching, what do they do to help themselves?
You will own nothing and be 😊
What party runs NJ????
@@l11lI11 Whatever you say!
@@ctwwtc8761 Probably Democrats.
People have been living under the boardwalk for ever! Everybody knows it.
I grew up in Atlantic City leave them be. Or HELP THEM WITH A PLACE. SMH this is wrong this world is Cruel
I am sick of having to keep paying to move people around to housing no one can afford on one income and if they can it’s only because it’s made of the cheapest materials that will either fall apart, make them sick, or both. I see a lot of landlords getting richer just moving lower and lower incomes around to different units at the same time home ownership gets further and further from the average person’s grasp.
BS the timing is obviously related to the event. Problem with the majority of "supportive" services is they are there to feed and fund themselves...job security. Rarely do they hire folks who have/ are homeless or mobile, because it is easier to THINK you know what others want, then to KNOW what is needed. Plus if "workers" think they are better, or different, then they can believe they could never end up loosing it all.
All facts
Phuck it then let's all go homeless and there will be nowhere that is not goin to allow people to leach off ,oppps wait a minute if we all give up then who will feed us chitt bad plan,
Thank God they are finally doing something. MY HOUSE has been burglarized ,they stole my mailbox I'm elderly worked my entire life,struggle to pay my taxes. The police arrested the burglars,they were out of jail 2 days later. We bought the house and the plan was to fix it up and buy in the neighborhood to make it a better place to live.That was in December 2015. Every time it gets fixed up the homeless destroy it,we had a fence put in around the patio painted had 1000.00 lighted umbrella that covered the entire patio,we had a jacuzzi put in white w hiker furniture tiki torches.We planned on living there and buying in that neighborhood. It looks like a crack house now they stole EVERY THING. There is no point to do anything, I have told everyone I could. My next move is to talk to Mayor Smalls,he is no joke he gets things done I voted for him. He doesn't talk he takes action. Mr.Shabazz also is an action person I can't sell my home because the abandoned house next door is 'unfit for human habitation. Mayor Smalls has been fighting this homeless problem since he got into office,he inherited a mess. He never stops fighting. The homeless DO NOT WANT TO GO INTO A SHELTER BECAUSE THEY DON'T WANT TO FOLLOW RULES. They majority are on drugs and want to steal taxpayers property and beg for money. So before you heart goes out to them,if you "help" you are helping them to do drugs. I know I took 3 people into my home that I worked my entire life for.They stole and destroyed my home I'm from PA I never saw a real live homeless person. They are very smart they con you,I will not even make eye contact with them. They are dangerous people. Please don't make the mistake that I did. I believed I was doing Jesus work.There ìs a wonderful shelter in AC. They will help then the catch is they must follow the rules,such as look for a job. It's called The Mission,they are Christians wonderful people. The homeless are destroying this town.
You speak the truth. Addicts manipulate. Its a common thing amongst them. The only help they need is Jail time to sober them up. Tough love, not enabling them is how we will fix this drug abuse crisis.
I have bigly issues with the religiously deluded Americans.
AMEN!!! MOST OF THEM ARE DOPE HEADS WHO DON'T WANT THE HELP AND ARE LOOKING FOR A HAND OUT!! THERE ARE JOBS IN AMERICA BUT THEY HAVE TO LOOK FOR THEM!!
You don’t like it go back to where you came from.
Idk with you saying your trying to buy the whole neighborhood maybe it was for the best. You're not more entitled to land just because you have money. All of America is stolen land, so if you feel that entitled to it, you have problems. You're not "Jesus like" because you tried to do one nice thing. Jesus was a dedicated servant to THE PEOPLE. Don't EVER compare yourself to Jesus. You are nothing but a speck.
As a small time landlord I always kept my rent lower than anyone else currently in Florida I am 20% lower than my neighbors
And what kinds of ppl live there ?
God bless you. And I pray that your properties are well taken care of.
@@lizpedano1542 WHAT DOES THAT MEAN. YOU DONT LIKE LOW INCOME PEOPLE.
That is great that you aren’t taking more especially with inflation and high prices everywhere. I know of people who charge so much and then they charge for parking! May you have great tenants and God bless you.
@@lizpedano1542
Poor people. Do you think poor people are not as good as people like you? Do you think poor people want to be poor? Do you think all poor people are drug addicts?
I am the man from Rise Up AC that was interviewed in this video. Of course I was cut to save time, but adding to what was shown of me, I said the same as the Volunteers of America outreach worker said. We need 24 hour services in the city. I make myself available from 9 to midnight every day but even that isn't enough time. The majority of the homeless out there are alcoholics who at any time can hit their bottom and want help. Unfortunately, if no services are available at that exact time, that opportunity is lost. I know this very well from experience as I was homeless at one point in my life too. I also said in this interview that all that was accomplished by ejecting them from the pier is that 25 people were displaced to other parts of the city. Today, I was talking to a couple who was ejected that day and they are back under the pier as are many more homeless people. I must also very sadly report that Bill butler, the homeless man in the video has passed away. Mat he be remembered and rest in peace. I , along with all of us at Rise Up AC will be out on the street every single day.
We do not have any obligation to 'be there' at the moment an alcoholic 'hits bottom'. Everyone is responsible for their own cardboard box. (pine, too!)
They knew damn well those people where there. They only acted because of that event. Not a good look. AC is horrible!!
Ain’t that the truth, they just noticed it……what a joke.
Agree 💯
Atlantic City seems to be dying a slow death. I have doubts it will be any kind of tourist destination by 2030. Then they can turn those Boardwalk hotels into shelters or low income housing.
Democrat utopia!!!
@@andrewwalsh2544 It's surrounded by hoods.
The rich are there to have everything and have all the fun.
The middle class is there to do everything and pay for everything.
The homeless are there to scare the middle class
Keep them showing up at those jobs......
---------George Carlin
This is so true. I dropped out of this rat race. I'm not playing anymore.
I dropped out (I mean I was thrown out!!) in 2000 after being a slave since 1965 ( diagnosed with bi polar 1998) last one yr working after diagnose!! I took one last look.at the penitentiary (jobs & ran) too bad it couldn't have been sooner!!
Where's the "middle class"? I know only the very wealthy can afford Internet services, now.
@@hamfistsman6267 Great. Climate changes will end your selfishness, too.
They need to give housing to working people who still can't afford these so called affordable housing..
Every human deserves a home. I began in life as a homeless child, on my own at 15. No one deserves that.
@@miapdx503 you earn things in life.. sorry you had to grow up like that. But 9 outta 10 an adult made certain decisions that put them on the streets.. very first world entitlement to think everyone deserves something jus because..
@@nabi4241 I agree. Some of those that are homeless choice a lifestyle that wasn't in their best interest.
The illegals pour in, the homeless rate for citizens skyrockets.
Working People, aren't owed free housing.
It sounds like the keep breaking in, so no, I don’t think the City did anything wrong. Hopefully these folks find help, but most don’t want it. It’s not on ANYONE to take care of people who don’t want it.
It's an unsecured area. Nothing to break into.
Where I live they don't even allow tents. You get a warning to be gone then everything gets confinscated and they will fine you. Or arrest you. It don't matter if it's -14 or raining. Also park curfews are enforced and if your caught "drugging" in public your going to the slammer. It's insane that some places think that's acceptable to just let stuff like this happen. I got a No bail for walking drunk, but someone shoots a cop over there they send you out with a doggie bag and care package.
Look at Kensington Ave Philly. It's needles in broad daylight. All day, everyday. It's truly insane.
Nice of the city to wait. Of course officials knew. If you see the "services" available in most American cities you wouldn't want them either.
Homelessness from sea to shining sea.
lol!
Yup, will work out well, just like when they cleaned out the encampment by the tracks in Kensington
Send them to Washington DC. 😊😊😊😊😊😊.
I think its mighty funny how Cities all of a sudden want to clean up. When they have Large events from the outside. 😁🤦♂️
And they're covered with garbage and riddled with crime any other day.
Force them into rehab they will thank you later.
They will not go,they want to do drugs and not follow the rules.
I feel sorry for the dog.
🤣🤣🤣
I was thinking the same thing. Why are they taking the dog away🐶💔. It looked very well taken care of!
I feel sorry for ALL of them!
I feel sorry for you. Go back to the kitchen
Relocate them ,they are human and God will judge us the way we treat people,
Stop taking heroin....There, problem solved. 👏😑
I don’t think it’s that easy. That a bulk of the problem. But not that easy….
They are all fentanyl addicts. All street drugs are laced with fentanyl nowadays including street marijuana.
@@sarbantz wow that is crazy,
@@hakhasan117 The devil is in the syringe...💉💪🤤🏚
Only GOD CAN SAVE THEM.
What do these politicians expect us to do? Housing is becoming unaffordable for most Americans!!
Instead of giving them the boot why don’t they try helping them with programs an housing.
Property taxes are the direct cause of this and most other problems.
You need to go further and get to the root. And the root is fatherless homes, a wide open border that allows illegals, illegal drugs to flood in, a government that gives money for doing nothing in the form of welfare, and in the end....lazy people who don't want to do anything. They rather do drugs all day and stay high. But in most cases, this mentality is because they did not have a structured home.
@@MP-in4or There are many people that realize it's impossible for them to get ahead - they fall into despair - and stop trying.
Those men don’t want to work, get a job!

To add insult to the insulted, get caught smoking on any beach in NJ and get fined 500 bucks
I heard a report that a woman's dog was taken away from her to a shelter. That's awful when a person is down, and you kick them by taking their companion animal. Adding, since it's hurricane season, removing them & finding other shelter is a good idea safety-wise.
Since most city '"humane" shelters are already at max capacity, they probably put it down within minutes of being brought in.
They need to be put down like a sick dog.
Why's the dog gotta live outdoors and suffer being homeless too? Let the dog get the help
Uhm, the concert DID play apart of the timing. At 1:20 pray that dog 🐕 finds a new home, not put down.
So these folks have lived there peacefully for 2 years. Apparently they're not causing problems. The government Lackey says it's unsafe conditions, well they've lived there for a couple of years what's unsafe about it nobody seems to be getting hurt. A note to government employees and politicians, you found your way in this world and no one's trying to destroy yours, why do you feel the need to destroy someone else's?.
The homeless started multiple fires under the boardwalk. Ur comment is now invalid. They are a problem
They said hidden. Coast to coast. Where are anyone can go??????
they never said they have housing available for them. BECAUSE WE DON'T. HAVE HOUSING. UNLESS UR RICH.
I am praying for you Bill Butler. You can do it! Don’t give up and take all the help they can give you. ❤️🙏
You sound like a bum your self
Will pray for him and all those people to get all the assistance they need to pick up again. Nobody should be poor or homeless here in this country. Damn this govt. & politicians and of the course the paid & controlled media.
@@ruthiemspangenberg3363 well said Ruthie and most Americans feel that way. Politicians only care to line their pockets to get wealthy and be above the law instead of helping others in need.
I hope everyone that wants help gets help 🤗😎
I could really enjoy some icy cold green grapes, today.
Some people truly need a "Handup" not a handout!👍
Billions of Dollars given to other Countries and our homeless can't get that "Handup"👌
EXACTLY!
Sad SAD SAD SAD just SAD
God bless the homeless. Help the homeless America. This is not a good look for the leader of helping everybody around the world. Help your own American citizens.
Completely agree to giving those in need a hand up. But where I live, the homeless can refuse a hand up and then go get a hand out.
99percenthasnooooowayout
It’s sad it’s really sad and they’re right. Where are they supposed to go? it’s horrible. The way people treat each other just horrible.
The resort has a problem ? The Homeless have the problem no where to live. No home. Sad every way possible. 😭😭😭
Yes the homeless have a problem, they are lazy dope heads and want a hand out!! NOT FROM ME, ILL GIVE THEM A JOB APPLICATION!!
People are liking this. That’s sad. How you go under an outside area and tear a homeless person’s shelter down and then go back home to your place??
These mfers think it’s their duty to remove these people all while not offering a solution.
They took their dog!? I understand kicking them out but why were they taking the dog? In most cases the dog is more loved and taken care of better than a lot of dogs that have a home. To a homeless person that is there everything and all they have left.
This country is not letting people live anymore.
Agree 100%.
Was just there for a Sports Card Convention and it was worst vacation I’ve ever taken. Can’t tell how bad it is down there. Hoping it can be turned around. Apart from that won’t ever attend another convention down there 👇 1 and done ✅
I live 30 mins away and wouldn’t step foot there. Only reason to go there is if you absolutely have to or to visit one of the outlets.
It's true, I am a retired kindergarten teacher, I wned and operated a state licensed Day Care Center. It's simple. In Perkasie PA If you do not live there or visiting, they have a law,they will arrest you. Google it they have a 2% crime rate I'm 60 years old never had a problem, I'm afraid to leave my house. This is the biggest mistake of my life.I can't sell the city owns an abandoned house next door. We live in jail. The Problem,The homeless.
Hate to say it but every state that's run by a Democrat has gotten worse. Please no bashing because I've voted Democrat in the past. But all of us have to look around and look at all the states that are flourishing and the one's that are not. These politicians don't care about any of us except our vote. They will do a couple thing's before reelection but that's it.
Was it a horrible vacation because of the homeless people or was there something else that made it horrible just wondering
That's life for them. You're truly blessed to be able to even afford a vacation. Get over it.
I got pictures of a veteran bleeding on the beach and I called but they left him in beach anyway
With all the wealth in 🇺🇲 you think they build homeless shelters everywhere 😢 what our so called good ol 🇺🇸 become
How in the hell does the city not know people have been living there for over a year?
They totally cleared them out for the phish show I bet.
Lol people have been living there for YEARS and you just found it two weeks ago? 🙄🙄 okay…
Keeping my fingers crossed 🤞😉 for you #BillButler i know homelessness doesn't have a Color a Race to it, Decent people with common sense will never judge how you got to that point, I've seen Hurricanes 🌀 and Floods I've seen fire's 🔥 Tornadoes 🌪 take people's homes, I've seen someone losing their jobs and then losing their homes that's exactly why i will never judge anyone's short comings, When ignorant people talk crazy and say things that don't need to be said in situations like this, They clearly haven't never had any rain in their life, Always tell those type of people to wait a while it'll come when they least expect it , And then they will see that they will need somebody to lean on.
You can't stay at a shelter if you have drugs or if you are drinking and if you have prescription from a Doctor you have to give them to a worker and they will give them to you accordingly. SO THERE THE PROBLEM,!!!!!
I went to Seaside Heights and Wildwood back in early 2000s it was nice but it was on a decline when again shortly after Sandy and it was beautiful then I went during the pandemic and it was horrible, instead of going to the Jersey Shore I'd rather take a 4-Hour trip to Ocean City Maryland
OC Maryland is Ghetto af
That city is full of sinning, evil, drugs, gluttony, etc. almost as if it is cursed…
You're probably a sinner yourself. Be quiet.
where will they go? Where the drugs are ...that's where!!!
So sad but true.
Why is it gut wrenching? People shitting under the boardwalk, stinking, harassing citizens , throwing garbage etc who are the idiots that think this behavior is acceptable? Put them in you’re house.
Exactly fuck all these losers
They meant
Stomach Churning lol
Yeah, don't make those assumptions about homeless people. You know, they might just know and responsibly use public facilities just like anyone else, for their biological needs. Who are you to judge that they stink or cannot adult, just like you? If you're married and got kids and/or pets, scientifically you are dirtier than a single person because you share your biome with several others and they share yours.
@@joebloggs830 Each person has their own story. The fact that tent cities are usually pits of squalor and the majority of the residents have mental health issues. That’s fact. If you have a phone go to utube and punch in Streets of Philadelphia, San Francisco or homeless encampments or anything else. It’s raw , real and nothing anyone says changes reality.
Sounds like you have room at your place joe
So sad, that the richest country in the world treats it’s most needy people this way. Corporate greed is the culprit here.
The city of AC owes hundreds of millions to each of the casinos. The corps are at fault for the gluttony and sleaziness of the town but It’s also our own government using them for votes and fake sympathy then in turn sending billions to other nations and people who come here illegally getting more resources then natural born citizens.
You ain't lying you know I lived in Texas and I really didn't like Texas that's why I left I don't know how true it was but I know this couple they were married was homeless I think five or six years or so and they had a storage bin and I don't understand it looking forward to storage being but not a house but anyway somebody said that they were sleeping in the storage bin and then I asked her about it and she said it wasn't true my point is whether it's true or not that is just so sad that they had to sleep like that and I think they've been homeless like five or six years or so a very long time and to me that is just ridiculous it's just really is and they used to be married they got a divorce I don't know how that came about but I know he told her to just move on he's no good to her I guess he had a bunch of surgeries and he has some health issues but she's stubborn she ain't leaving her ex that's one thing about her she's not leaving him behind so I left Texas years ago so I don't know how they're doing now doing the whole pandemic thing I hope they're doing well I hope all the homeless are doing really well
But more impoverished people continue to come here.
@@geewizwiz3 Wrong.
Where did you learn that the USA is the "richest country"?
Why is this Administration helping undocumented immigrants from other countries, but seemingly refusing to help homeless people that have fallen on hard times in their home country.
Us immigrants will share a two bedroom apartment with three other families. I remember me and my family living in the living room while two other families got the other two rooms. That's 3 working adult males and 3 working adult females. Even if they earn less than $15 dollars an hour together they can easily pay $1500 a month for rent working together. It's seem us Hispanics deal with poverty better than Americans do.
Most of them are addicts. They have to want to get clean.
It’s a shame isn’t it.
Yeah. You live like peasants.
Because that wouldn't get them votes.
Give them an application for a job!! That's the best help anyone can give them!! The problem is they don't want help, laziness or they are hiding from something and some are just looking for a hand out!!
I'm pretty sure jobs don't hire unrested dirty possibly mentally ill people. And you're one to talk about lazy being all you do is show up somewhere and chat with your friends for your paycheck.
Build them homes. Help them. Homeless people are not criminals.
I am sorry for them. These people can’t live like this. If their families have abandoned them . What is the humane thing to do for them? The unclaimed and homeless are buried in potters field. This is very sad. These are the mentally Ill and the substance abusers.
It's substance abuse that got them there, I wish there was a magic solution because it runs deeper than just homelessness.
@@honeybunch5765 for many substance use isnt wasnt got them there , substance use is what they did to try to cope/deal/self medicate their mental/emotional issues or to try to black out the physical or sexual abuse they endured or they had some type of valid physical pain and were put on pain pills with the dosage being continually increased and then suddenly being cut off and left with no choice but to turn to street drugs etc .
@Nicki Elmore Comfort yourself with that. Sure it may have been a choice with the substance abuse and mental health issues. What I can’t understand is how do family just forget about them? Don’t go check on them? Put a few dollars in their pockets? Some people love from afar. But my conscience would not let me rest. Until I checked on them. Maybe that would be the time they turn around and say I am tired. Tired of living like this. The feelings of an abandonment and that no one cares further fuels their drug use and at risk behavior. Like eff it no one cares anyway….
@Nicki Elmore I am a licensed Social Worker in NYC. It’s not too much I haven’t seen. I will say this . Some people choose that lifestyle . It’s what we refer to as “at risk behavior “. It’s safe for them. It’s what they know and what’s familiar. It doesn’t mean that you give up on a person. They are homeless . Check on them . Give them some food. Did they take their medicine etc? I share because I have seen the guilt and remorse when asked why didn’t you check up on him
Or her ? They feel
Invisible . Like the scum of society. They don’t think that they deserve better. There was a woman on the bus yesterday. Disheveled . Erratic emancipated and unkempt. Everyone frowned at her looked at her funny. I would bet most went to church on Sunday and refer to themselves as Christians. This woman turned around and asked me something . She was incoherent . I asked her to tell me again. She wanted a couple of dollars to eat . I was the only one in the bus that she asked. I gave her $2 . I said. Don’t get high. She said I won’t. I have two sons. I hope someone extends a hand to them when or if I can’t .
@Nicki Elmore Go check on them! In NYC we have Potters Field. It’s where the nameless unclaimed and homeless are buried. We all have a family member like this. You do what you can. Let go. But check on them.
Sending billions over seas, yet we have homeless crisis here. When will America learn to care for home first. Everything starts at home. SMH
Biden's America just keeps getting better.
NJ has housing these people lost their homes bc of Covid shutdowns, recession, 2008 crash, and possibly hurricane Sandy. We have literal empty skyskrapers in nyc and abandoned towns throughout this country.
And go where? On to another place to stay and be kicked out again. What a circus.
Where will they go? Maybe, to get a job and some mental health/substance abuse help. Most of them don’t want help. They want to live free and expect everyone else to give them handouts and let them destroy the areas they take over.
Yep.
Then provide them affordable housing and stop raising rents to push poor people out or in the street so you can attract a higher class of people to move in 😡
Does anyone know what happened to the dog?🙏❤️
I can get kicking somebody out of where you sleep. But, how strange is it to wake up somebody sleeping. Tell them they have to leave. And then you leave yourself. Leaving nobody there.
That is the stupidest comment I've ever read. It's private property people can't get set up their own home under the pier
This is so sad 😞 😥
Most choose to live that way
If you didn't help them you should be ashamed
So they just moved them to somewhere else but don't fix the problem the government don't care
🤔 so u telling me are tax dollars don't have locations for homeless people too sleep n eat n get meals n take showers n check on they health for free of charge putting all this money into schools n roads n stuff?
That's exactly why u should stay n school at least high school. A minimum job will help. It is sick n ning I have 2 keep on keeping on it is challenging...But if I dont wrk I dont EAT😳
Minimum wage won't get you out of poverty.
The problem is the people in these places are dangerous not all but most of them. If you're desperate then you're dangerous. Period.
Heartless…. Absolutely heartless.
Good riddance to them
They need to put them down like a rabid dog.
Wagons ho! Put them on buses to California where they will have all their needs met. And needs met they never even thought of.
"Got money for war but cant feed the poor"
Get them off the board walk period. Hassling tourists for money all over the place. Such an eye sore
These people have been there for years this didn't just start Atlantic county is known for not having resources
Let's send billions to Corporations and other countries we don't need anything 🤔
It's better to allow them somewhere to stay that's not right out in the streets people here are camping at every intersection in the city it looks rough I imagine tourists would be like don't stop keep driving and if they were staying somewhere more private it wouldn't look so bad I got nothing against homeless people but I don't like that they are camping everywhere in the street and I see much more private places they could stay but maybe they don't feel safe unless they are right in the downtown and I don't mean just one here and one there they have half a dozen tents set up on every other intersection and the mess they make and don't clean up at all so I'm amazed that they are allowed to do it but here in Canada you can get away with pretty much anything, and so I think these people here who were off the grid should have been allowed to stay but I guess the concert is all that matters
It's everywhere, my daughter went to Paris she said it's horrible, yess Paris.
Not their property that is it. They have to go . All those people. I think he said 40 plus give or take. None of them can build anything. So much man power and no body can work a hammer and nails learn cementing. Area and land evaluation, electricity management. Nothing just drugs stealing their willpower and confidence to accomplish duties. Cone on man. That's too many useless people who really can do something. They just dont believe in themselves. I know a lot if drug addicts who are functioning enough not to be homeless.
Atlantic City is a literal toilet of a beach town. I was there in May & it smelled like an ashtray when I rolled down my window. Disgusting! I would never go there again!
They had a nice spot with a beach view and ocean view
It's okay until winter hits.
I noticed some of the comments here and some clearly don't understand some aspects of a homeless person's life! We seem to be very quick to judge people without knowing exactly what circumstances put them there! Not everyone homeless is a addict! Also, many who are addicts didn't wake up one day and decide I want to be a addict! Most suffering and I say suffering from addictions have had some sort of severe trauma happen in their life. Rape, abuse, child molestation, horrific horrors happen to them. Not including those with mental illnesses. Jail is not the answer. Some of them because of the addictions will die, due to the lack of medical attention a person needs when coming off of drugs and alcohol. I'm not saying enable them, but there really needs to be resources available to really help people. Until they can come to a place of what got them there, all the help in the world will not help. It's no different then medication. Most people are prescribed medication to help with the symptoms, but the drug doesn't cure anything. Stop taking the medication and see what will happen. Medicating a problem doesn't cure the problem. It only controls it. It saddens me to see that some can be so heartless! Good thing we have a God that always shows us mercy!!
So, where did they go?
Out onto the street. What the city accomplished is putting 50 people on the street looking for new places to sleep. This is what happens.
California
@@frankihatch You are close. Many will go to California Ave and the Boardwalk. Some will sleep there under the boardwalk. Some will travel a few more blocks to Iowa and the Boardwalk and sleep under the Tropicana Pavilion.
Several of them are heading to your place, now.
Heartless monsters. 🤬
Leave them people alone 😡
No shortage of sketchy people on the boardwalk.
All these vacant schools you can't make a better shelter for all these people they are sending to Ac from all over Nj
If Nucky Thompson were alive he wouldn't let this happen
Oh yeah I remember that episode. But didn't he take that underage girl to consort with the commodore?
Where will they go? Where the city officials want them…jail or a grave 🤬
Oh stop, they knew they were there. They are all over the boardwalk.
they would not have been looking 2 weeks ago.
Displacing them to.........................................? The governor's mansion?..................A convenience store?
where were the volunteers before?
pump a huge amount of sea water to wash all that filth away. replace it with cleaner sand.
What is gut wrenching is that 50 ppl lived together homeless instead of joining in on an apartment or house.
I just texted about that. All that manpower and no one is productive. Its sad there is alot of junkies who still have good work ethics. They can do more . Everyone needs materials and money but without the peoples efforts nothing gets done. Work smart with others like yourself . It's got to be better than living under a bridge or encampment.
Would be good if they could group up for a place for sure!
Mental health so easy to judge
@@Nicole-si3ck except most homeless people are druggies and don't have mental health issues.
If you are a druggy you probably have mental health issues lol. 1 order of unresolved trauma with a side of mental breakdowns
THEY DO NOT WANT THEM NEEDLES IN THE SAND
I was picking up on a shooting at some sort of shelter or something literally 2 days ago... I get visions and premonitions
Where will they go?!
Nobody asks why the government doesn’t put more into their homeless programs. So many people with nothing to do can feed the soil seed and water and feed so many. Construction cleaning and so many jobs america can provide and assist these people.
