- The homeless population is growing rapidly in California. From waterways and streets filled with trash and fecal matter, to kids parks occupied by homeless. We have diseases brewing we haven’t seen since the Middle Ages. Eventually, even California will have to start doing things that aren’t so nice. Here I give two things that need to happen. Please let me know your ideas how to handle it. The city officials in Bakersfield have no idea how to handle. Subscribe and click the icon to BTUFF to stay up to date.

Unless you see it in your neighborhood first hand, you’ll never understand how consequential it is to let stray broken people roam without following societal rules.
Problem is they are living in an illegal place. Make it legal for them to have a place to live and the problem is solved. The problem is your city has made it illegal for these people to live anywhere. Allow legal camping areas and RV parking area and problem solved. Next changes the laws and incentives so that there are low cost places to live in your community.
People lose their basic human right to shelter then get called "stray, broken people" that's really sad, I hope one day you learn to have a little compassion for those less fortunate than yourself, even if you have to experience it first hand.
Republicans roam the streets all the time.
Facts. Oahu is so bad I had to leave with my family
Societal rules huh here's a rule for ya leave people the hell alone.
You've got my vote. Homeless people being allowed to own the streets is completely destroying our society and our cities.
Allowing people to become homeless and then murdering those victims is evil
I agree with you on the following points: (1) it's a complex problem, (2) we have to make some unattractive decisions - unavoidable, (3) we may need to resurrect a more humane version of the old mental institutions for some of our homeless folks, (4) ANY solution is going to cost tax payer $$$, (5) our current solutions/plans are woefully inadequate, (6) we need a place/city/something where the career homeless can go - those who have made a conscious choice for the lifestyle, or the lifestyle is a result of deliberate, informed choice, (7) we can do more for the folks that are truly "between homes" - those that want to escape homelessness and are willing to embrace the same responsibilities and obligations the rest of us do in order to have homes. I think it's a good video, if only to stimulate discussion. Again - it is a complex problem and I certainly don't have all the answers, either.
Right cuz the long term economic humanitarian disaster and the innocent victims created is astronomical. It will be like mad max
HOUSING IS TO EXPENSIVE BECAUSE HOUSING IS NOT BEING ALLOWED. ALLOW SINGLE ROOM OCCUPANCY AND SMALL APPARTMENTS ABOVE BUSINESSES (I WOULD REQUIRE IT) GET RID OF ALL THE REGULATIONS ON SMALL PLACES TO LIVE, GET RID OF SINGLE FAMILY ZONING, ALLOW PEOPERTY OWNERS TO SUE PEOPLE WHO DELAY BUILDING PROJECTS WITH UNJUSTIFIABLE OBJECTIONS. REMEMBER THE STATE OF MISSISSIPPI WHICH HAS NOT HOUSING RESTRICTIONS HAS ALMOST NO HOMELESS.
@@stanleytolle416 we have a lot of SROs in San Francisco, they just do drugs there...
It is my observation that a good part of homeless is dictated by gov regulation. Have you noticed there are plenty of storage units the homeless would be perfectly happy to be living in. We also have vast parking lots that allot of people would perfectly happy to rent a spot to park a trailer. Like, what's wrong with lots being use for those who would be willing to live in tents. It is my impression the problem is making these options illegal for people to use. Where I live people are literally commandeering park restrooms as places to shelter at night (particularly those nights that are well below freezing.). Like with the cheapest hotel rooms over $100 a night what are these people to do. It use to be there were places where people could get cheap modest shelter for a few dollars a night. I my self recovered from a business failure in a $35 a week rental. Pay a week ahead and the place was mine. Like all these places have been redeveloped and are now illegal. What in my mind would help is allowing and by policies encourage low cost housing options such as I have mentioned.
@@stanleytolle416 consider repairing abandoned mills too
You can’t make an Omelet without cracking some eggs.
You are definitely correct the reason why California or American in general can’t solve the homeless problem is because there is too many opinions debating etc…
With people assigned to "solve the homeless problem" making six figure salaries, why would they want to solve the problem?
Bring mental asylums back
Here in California you can get into more trouble for walk on the sidewalk without a mask on than you will if you decide to sh*t on that same sidewalk, because our elected officials care soooo-much about public health!
U can't get in trouble in California for anything bro quit lying
Uh...that's not even close to true. A) you don't live in Cali so you wouldn't know or B) you live in Cali but you're conservative hence unhappy to be here.
The homeless shitting on the sidewalk totally true though. Never saw anyone get in trouble for walking on the sidewalk without a mask.
@@salvadorvillanueva3047 Oh shut up and learn to notice a hyperbole when you see one. In some situations you can get in trouble for not wearing a mask on the sidewalk, such as when they have you eat outside on the sidewalk at the restaurants and make you still wear a mask outside. There’s a video online where there’s a homeless guy defecating on the sidewalk right in the vicinity of an outside eating area at a restaurant and lo and behold it happened in San Franshitsco. They make us wear masks indoors and outdoors yet the homeless can poop where they want smfh.
Great point.
As a current homeless person myself, I 100% agree.
Currently for myself, I work Construction, a difficult labor intensive job and can't find a place because rent and housing is outrageous. Also every time I want to buy a home it gets bought cash from under me.
With that being said, not every homeless is me. Some of them are unhinged, and just can't mold into society. They have no embarrassment, or any sense of respect for people around them. They damage restrooms, have sex publicly and constantly harass and hurt each other. It's like living amongst animals.
It honestly would be best to relocate these people into places away from society if they don't work or are simply unstable.
In all honesty, you can't help those who don't want to help themselves.
great insight
Absolutely right. A lot of anti-social behavior being exhibited. We need to stop enabling it.
Trump might soon be homeless
Man move to Georgia! Atlanta is doing pretty well and housing costs are pretty cheap in certain areas
You're a hobo, not a bum. There's a difference: hobo meaning homeward bound, people without a home but want to work and they are productive. Bums do not want to work, they stay where they are and await handouts. Tramps are like bums in that they beg and refuse to clean up or work, but they travel to the best begging spots. Vagrants I think they wander and live away from people, unwilling to blend in with society but otherwise not posing a problem to people's safety or wellbeing.
Housing is too expensive and scarce landlords are asking for your income to be 3 to 4 times.the remt to qualify. Then it takes a long time to even find a place Anyone could become homeless today and find themselves stuck there. Yourself included. Support the tiny house movement and ask everyone to speak about it and take action on it period..
You make senses. People are sensitive and I inclusive and soft
What? Sorry.. im not following
Youre soft too.
I completely agree. I was homeless because of my bad financial choices. But I always worked, was friendly and respectful to those around me, stayed to myself, and when I worked/socialize with people I made sure I was clean, I even used the many resources to help me get back on my feet. I eventually did and its a experience ill never forget. Alot of those people that are homeless are choosing to be that way because of their bad choices.
Glad your getting your life back.
Please regain your humanity for your fallen brothers.
You didnt get back on your feet because of hard work alone. You needed luck
It depends on what those Financial decisions were, if it was cause you invested in a company or got sued or got fired, you didn't really choose to be Homeless. That was a unfortunate set of circumstances that was thrust upon you, you didn't choose that. If it was because you decided to waste your money, that is different or were you there cause you didn't want work for anyone and purposefully let the money stop coming in. People who say everything is a choice needs to realize just how damn lucky they are to be able to actually say that, cause everything takes luck.
@@lissomeo9764 your comment is irrelevant he/she worked to get where he/she is today and got back on their feet
@@user-sx7fj4kz1l it still requires luck
I love it. Round them up!!!! I have two teen girls with several homeless living near us in Torrance, CA. I love u & totally agree.
Dude preach it I live in Seattle And I would do anything to get these homeless people away from my property and away from my work
Allow HOUSING. The problem is places for these people have been made illegal. Get rid of these regulations. Allow and incentivize things like single room occupancy, boarding houses, mixed use of business and housing. Allow people to sue cities for not allowing housing or reasonable use of their property. Homeless has been created by policy. What is needed is policy that everyone has access to housing.
@@stanleytolle416 having a home won't fix a person's way of living, those tents under the bridges all look so dirty and surrounded by garbage and rats, you'd be surprised about how many people live the same way inside apartments and houses, a well maintained responsible person could live in a tent just like everyone else but you'd notice the difference in the area, imagine all these tents properly placed, garbage bin around and maybe some plants, it would be completely different, i could even say it would look nice almost like camping grounds.
@@haveyouseengeorgehennen facts, if you’re homeless you have every incentive to make as much money as possible to be more than stable financially, they can work labor if anything, It’s not like they’re paying for anything besides food.
My family the past generation from Mexico moved here and started working Immediately.
Vote better
@@stanleytolle416 They're addicted to hard drugs. I hate that liberals won't even acknowledge that. It's not just a matter of housing. You could have a room available for $10 and they'll still sleep in the homeless camp because that $10 can go towards drugs instead. Calling this nothing but a housing shortage ignores the root cause.
I agree that those that suffer from mental health should be treated at a mental health facility. I also agree those who don't want to access help should be accomated in a separate outdoor area with atleast proper waste disposal. Bathrooms, access to food and bathing facility's. On the other hand you are missing the category of individuals or families who may live in a car or streets who actually do work. I have worked as a social worker for over a decade, and believe it or not I have worked with many people who lived in either the Streets, shelter or car who work full-time and have no addiction or mental health issues, it is just that their jobs don't generate enough income to afford housing(especially here in the bay area)or they maybe have been evicted in the past and no landlord will touch them with a 10 ft. Pole. I even heard news story here that in in San Mateo County, due to the high cost of living, that nealry half of the families with children in public schools in this county are homeless living out of their cars. So there is a forgotten portion of the homeless population that gets overlooked that goes beyond the 2 category classification. So I do agree with some of your approach, but I believe you are missing a category of people that most outsiders don't consider. With that said, what do you think the approach should be regarding assisting those individuals or families who don't have mental health or addiction, they work, pay taxes but have simply been priced out of the housing market. Just something to think about.
I agree wholeheartedly with your post. In addition, where do our homeless veterans fall into the two categories? Many of our veterans have a hard time acclimating to civilian life. And where do our foster kids who age out of foster care fall into the two categories? What about people affected by the housing crisis; those who end up temporarily homeless because they do not meet the requirement of being chronically homeless to receive the help they need. What about the disabled or elderly people who are less inclined to afford anything in our current housing market?
As far as solutions are concerned there are multiple cities who are successfully addressing this complex social issue. Tiny home communities and motels are just the start of the solution toward helping those living on the streets. Counseling services, educational advancement opportunities, access to affordable healthcare, and access to a strong, reliable support system are among the many services needed to help determined people get back on their feet. While I agree with the uploader's statements about needing solutions to the homeless issue in America, I think the solution is much more complex than separating people into two categories and sending them to the outskirts of the city. Just my humble opinion...
@@coolcat55900 thanks for your input. Regardless of what category they fall in, for Veterans, transitional aged youth(18-24), the elederly, disabled and those who are just simply unable to afford housing, each county in this country recieves funding, mostly from he FEDs to assist each one of these vulnerable populations, it just really depends on how each county utilizes that money, innovates new ideas to really Improves the situation and whether or not they can stay in compliance with their govt. Funders. Your right there are many jurisdictions that have done a great job with this such as NYC and I believe a few places in the southwest have almost completely eliminated homelessness amongst veterans. I really think that the counties who are struggling with these issues need to really study the successes of the counties who have greatly decreased homelessness and apply it to thier own counties. There are many conservative areas that have done a great job in reducing homelessness, but more liberal areas like Not Cal are unwilling to adopt these practices based of political and idealogical differences which is really sad. We need to give props where they are due, put our differences aside, study the suceeses and work together to solve this problem. Thanks for your input again.
@@theunorthodoxsocialworker8759 Thank you for your insight. I am a university student majoring in SW who intends to work with the homeless population and this is food for thought.
A gas filled garden sprayer and a match works too. That's what president Hoover did. He solved the problem real quick. Whether it be addicts, mentally and emotionally dysfunctional or just not wanting to work. He fixed that real quick.
The homeless City can be divided into different communities, from nonviolent families all the way to mental patients. I would even provide drugs and alcohol to them for free. Just keep them away from us. There can be jobs for those that want to work in the homeless City. If they want to leave they need to prove they are clean and can support themselves.
It is very interesting to read comments from people who want more compassion for the homeless. They agree there is a severe problem but offer no solutions, other than increasing the giveaways. Giveaways only increase the problem.
Protect tenants by implementing a national rent control standard, a “just-cause” requirement for evictions, and ensuring the right to counsel in housing disputes.

@@jamesmcpherson8599 you are trying to make a point that people become homeless because they can't afford rent. This is a false argument because it doesn't matter how cheap the rent is you still need to be reasonably sober to hold down a job and make a few bucks to pay rent. If you are a homeless bum on the streets you cannot afford rent anywhere.
There are thousand,s of homeless people in the united nation .. But has any one stoped to ask why, stupid question I Kno but really. I became homeless a few days ago out of the unthinkable thing in life I found myself and family members went from a roof over our heads to being homeless in a split second with not even a second to think or be prepaid of an ordeal of a phx city ordance that as being a resident and asking for help.from the city of Phoenix to help fix the apt . To getting notice to vacate for unsafe violation codes. . My daughter had her rent paid for the next few months after being homeless herself for over 3yr. She was homeless once again just when thing s were starting to bring herself and her children at ease our world collides with a city ordance violation that once again sent her right back to being homeless. And myself a roof over my head to a homeless world. of the unthinkable. So what and where do people turn to . We have called for days every place for help . To be honest not nowhere you can turn wthy , no one really listens to the real truth as to why.... And there is no boundary cause to some of us this should have never happened . I've lived in my apartment for 5 yrs and now I'm homelessbi didn't know asking the city for help was going to be a nite mare from hell . T
@@earmacontrerascarrascosa3126
people like the alcoholics, druggies, and mentally ill can be destructive to other people and property. Many orgs are reluctant to help just anyone and a lot of long term homeless people don’t want to do better and drain the system. They make it hard for people who truly need short term help to get help.
Having been homeless I can relate a little bit. As I’m writing this there are RVs squatting next to my house I completely agree with you. Thanks for speaking out, this is a complex topic but enough is enough. Tax payers, homeowners and productive citizens who obey the law shouldn’t be subjected to the health and criminal risks of homeless camps and squatters. I support your stance 👍
ask yourself why, why is this really happening tax paying citizen home owner your homes are all about to be seized by the banks in a few year through bad morgages and bad loans. your currency is vauleless fiat bs.
someone could litterally make money helping the homeless think about in two years how much fertilizer you can sell to farmer maybe even start you own. people are not lazy they want to work. they just have retard incentices like slave wage why am i going to work for 15 an hour when there is no place to rent . i live in a rv and work i dont want to maybe companies should buy up property to rent out for afforadbale prices to there workers
composting is not hard but many people look down on it i guess a stupid society would look down on soultion lock em all up in prison then
Just a thing to point out:
Homeless shelters are more likely to accept women, especially if they have kids
If a guy has a kid they’ll separate the kid from him and bring the kid in
Really appreciate you recognizing the distinction between 2 of the major causes of homelessness. It is clear you have actually interacted with them enough to pick up on this, instead of just blindly regurgitating the phrase, "the majority of homeless people suffer from mental illness," which the data in no way supports. While 25% (or even the highest reported value of 35%) of the homeless population do suffer from major mental illness, it is in no way a majority. Extensive interaction with them as a whole would yield the same finding for anyone willing to take the time. You're the man. Thanks for thinking for yourself and having the balls to say it how it is instead of trying to be a crowd pleaser.
I believe you are very misinformed, of the general population of the United States 26% suffer from a mental illness so you can be assured that the homeless population suffers from at least double that rate of mental illness and probably more from my experience.
The actual study is in pdf format and psychology today reported it but do your research. Better yet hit the streets and talk to them.
back in the day they euthanized the stray animals , these days they have figured a way to profit off of the strays. Same as they are doing with the homeless.
I like to separate those two type of homeless as: homeless a person with no home going through a hard time trying to get back on the right track, and a bum who is completely irresponsible, no discipline, and lack of self awareness, who doesn't care about being in a better position and like's to make excuses so they can just receive help and live "free", people find it easy to say make more shelters, but don't understand that these "bums" are dangerous and can make "homeless" people feel unsafe inside the shelters, or can even take up the space and opportunity for them, my neighbors is a complete fucking bum has a mess outside his apartment and it smells really bad, so in conclusion having an apartment or place to live doesn't change the person you truly are.
That's why I think we need to take mental health more serious than we already do and as well make teaching personal responsibilities mandatory in all schools.
subsidized housing is cheaper than keeping people on the street… it’s the only way you can get these PEOPLE- may i emphasize PEOPLE- to rehabilitate.
if you don’t believe me, look into the housing first programs in Colorado. This type of rhetoric is not only dangerous, it’s pre genocidal.
“These people have no right to have kids, these poverty stricken people.”
think about that in a broader context for a minute… it’s fascist and i hope to god this isn’t a well received conservative talking point.
I am in Medford Oregon and there are hundreds over here pooping in front of my house and stealing my stuff at night. I am done with people helping these idiots be idiots
I’ve been saying the same for years. Build a complex in the middle of nowhere for the homeless. When they get ready to return to society that have to prove it. Although I would want to Feed and provide medical care.
Churches/charities would have to collaborate to drive out there to provide food and a community kitchen, shower while the long term live in tents.
throw me out in the dessert and you will be asking to join my society. i will create such a utopia you wouldnt believe it. hogans free electricty will turn human waste into compost. grow are own food while you people eat fake food from mcdonalds . drill our own wells and make our own home without restriction or housing codes. we will protect each ohter and have a far better of understanding of mental health then your society ever could i will take us 100 years ahead. throw me in the desert and i will become moses
copper and wheel barriers and magnet old fans. and solar from cds i done it before that how most electricty is made a magnet spining . wind water alot of things can spin thaat i could even pull electricty from the strotsphere. men want to work the homeless want to work just not for a slave wage and to be treat like inhumane
Problem is, unless you're going to make that complex a heaven of drugs and alcohol, they won't stay there. They could go anywhere-- but where do they go? The cities, where they have all the support and all the money and all the booze and drugs they want. That will always draw them back. Anything halfway resembling responsibility interests them not in slightest.
Maybe years ago this would have sounded too inhuman but not today! The problem is out of hand and getting worse! If there are no consequences there will be no solution. This is not fair to the hard working store owners etc!
For my solution to the homeless problem. I believe things like job training and career choices should be made mandatory in all schools and make housing and mental health a necessary need in society. I also believe there be such a thing as parenting license by the law.
i would abolish the prusian school system and re establish classic education with a 4 hour school day. your schools are courpt and make people more likely to be homeless i have an as in electronic engineering and i live in a trailer and work. more education does not equal success most people i know are in major major debt
they tell me to re go for my bs that is crazy am not going back to college it a scam learn everything on your own online
I'm with it , man. We are going to be forced to do something it either the personal or legal way.
@Sapientia lol. Circumstances will dictate.
I agree; plus have the cops around to stop crime, and arrest anybody that's doing a crime. Do a background check for arrest warrants and take drug users off the streets. Loitering, littering and trespassing are crimes as well. Arrest people that break the law and help the needed. The laws that stopping the cops doing their jobs are ridiculous. Clean up and get rid of the trash, including the trashy people.
Why are you Americans sounding like nazis?
When you can no longer afford to rent or you have to flee because of violence and you no longer have a home, existing becomes illegal, loitering is the crime of existing, it's no measure of health to be well adjusted to a profoundly sick society. If you had no home, family or friends, money, what would you do? What is anyone supposed to do in that situation and how would you feel if you suddenly lost your home and were forced to carry all your worldly possessions on your back, after going through a traumatic life changing event only to be called "trash" by unintelligent and unperceptive, insensitive people that have never known any hardship in their life, disgusting..
According to police statistics maybe 95% of crime goes undetected. The crimes are so petty for most people, tresspassing stealing a pack of cigarettes, property damage, that it is no solution to their lifestyle.
We need a way to sift through them to see who is just in a bad spot and can be helped, who needs to be put in the nut house and who needs to detox but something needs to be done CA government will only make it worse....nonprofits use the issue as a political football to get rich I live in northern California and I'm a truck driver I see it it has gotten bad
City administrators: "Good news, staff, we received a billion dollar grant to address the homeless problem!"
Also city administrators: "Huh. Guess we need a $999,999,999 raise to 'examine' the problem."
I would like to see: Sufficient public bathrooms; available showers; sufficient shelters. So people can clean up, use the bathroom and have a place to sleep. This is an expensive proposition, but not so enabling as to discourage looking for work and not as expensive as providing an apartment for every homeless person.
Stop thinking more resources will help. Stop feeding them and they leave.
@@lprice5583 hahaha truuu
We've spent billions doing precisely that and have nothing to show for it. The opposite may be true. Enabling them to live on the street just encourages more of them to live on the street, despite all its perils. Never underestimate the power of an addiction, coupled with a free and easy lifestyle where you're just handed all the necessities of life. I fear that only the very toughest of tough love will ever work, and we may have to admit that we can't save everyone. This is one problem we can't just buy our way out of.
Thank you for saying it because nobody else will.
If you put them out there, you just set them up with all the resources they need, so they can eventually come back to society
And if not at least they've got a stable place to live
They don’t want to fix the problem but they can. Just like disease or whatever once the problem is fixed you get less funding. Cali get like 1 billion per year for homelessness
Ive said it for years, Theres a fine line between compassion and being a sucker. And these people are taking us all for suckers now. Well said..
The problem is a huge lack of affordable housing, good paying jobs, and people willing to help or even believe help is deserved. It appears as though the vast majority of the population only sees people struggling with homelessness as the addicts they see on the streets and forget about the “invisible” homeless population that includes single people, children, and families who couch surf or live out of their cars, hotels, rvs, or tents. This growing population is largely ignored and there is a huge lack of data on how severe this issue really is. What has been estimated by Josh Leopold, a researcher at the Urban Institute, is that about 25 percent of the people struggling with homelessness are, in fact, employed. Megan Hustings, the director of the National Coalition for the Homeless, has shown that about 40-60 percent of the homeless population moves between full-time and part-time work (Hughes, 2018). It feels important to further highlight the stigma society has around addiction and how we tend to be apathetic as we blame people for their addiction rather than seeing it as it is, a mental disorder that is largely controlled by chemical “hooks” in the brain rather than being a voluntary choice (leshner, n.d).
I'm a Liberal Democrat, but, I agree with you 100%. You'd be surprised how many of us do.
Billy, I agree with what you said. thank you for saying it. I'm not a heartless person, I dont think you are either. Very difficult decisions need to be made. The decisions that are being made now...ARE NOT WORKING.
The decisions that are being made are to restrict housing. Get rid of R1, no housing in business areas, allow boarding houses anywhere, stop can't split up one's own lot or home, add APPARTMENTS to one's home, and more. It's the regulations and incentives. Maybe float a local ordance that does this instead of asking the police to get rid of these people. Remember, just one illness, bad luck or marriage can put you out on the street too.
I don’t think these solutions are heartless at all. People like being with people like them. People with mental illness would hopefully be better off in an institution.
I think they should have programs that offer tubal ligation and vasectomies for those who shouldn't be having children....I just watched a thing on how there's not enough people adopting children that are born with multiple issues due to their drug addicted parents... So we have a ton of children who will grow up without support and end up in the same situation. It's a vicious cycle. We currently have homeless camping out at the park down the street and now I'm seeing them camp at our basketball court right by my house. I have had multiple interactions telling people to get a move on or I'd have to call the cops. It's frustrating because I grew up in the ghetto and never wanted to deal with this again. I bought my house for 220K in a nice neighborhood with an HOA back in 2017.... But now we have homeless migrating to this area in Mesa from Phoenix and it's truly frustrating. I have a hard time feeling sorry for certain people because I have worked with homeless and drug addicts a lot. I see the same mentalities and same repetitive destructive behaviors. It's very rare that you meet someone homeless who truly has the ability and drive to get out of the situation they are in.
Agreed. Hard for people to hear but very true.
you said it best at the end: “we’re gonna have to do something that’s not nice to clean up the homeless problem”
This man is 💯 percent spot on! Sure there's pros and cons too his solution but he's talking painful facts that calls for hard measures that might offend some people.
Lets be realistic here....EVERYONE is offended by EVERYTHING these days....
The solution is way easier than you to imagine. But it would involve having a heart and some goodwill to mankind.
@@valerienady3499so naive.
Theyre people. This is fascism. If you want homeless people off the street put em in houses. Yall dont want a solution you just dont want to look at people less fortunate than you.
Those were painful true questions that needed to be talked about.I think the first step is to privatize the solution. take the "non" out of non profit organizations to solve these problems. If PepsiCo can sell sugar water and make billions then developing a market for compassion should work...Hope Inc
Most nonprofits are very profitable.
Why would you kill off the BUSINESS of homelessness..... it's a money magnet for charities and those charities never pass on the billions to the homeless...........
we have a drug problem....not a housing crisis
Bullshit, come to Canada. Many of our homeless are employed. 25% of our population is in poverty
As a homeless person myself, single people without any family simply cannot make enough to afford today’s housing. The only way you can have housing is with no credit cards no car payments and no debt. Even at my good job with my few bills and in my car I’m still living check to check. Things won’t get better til either the housing system crashes cause people can only work 2 jobs for so long before they crash or another virus shuts down the economy. All in all we are doing it to ourselves and the rich sit back and laugh as you buy your fancy cars and homes and tvs as assets knowing you will always be a sucker for these items. Do until folks turn up and stop buying these items this will continue and the rich will have power knowing you will buy them to FEEL good.
How can they have affordable housing when housing prices are skyrocketing and that’s supposedly a measure of a successful economy? I totally agree with you that their are many types of homeless. One solution doesn’t fit all. But hey here’s a starter. Where they get the free food and water give them a garbage bag. Pick up some crap! One bag full of garbage equals one meal. So happy I live on an island at the bottom of Thailand for last ten years. My biggest problem is are their surfable waves today :)
I appreciate that you made a differentiation.
There are definitely different homelessness situations. And I think it’s good u aknowledged that straight up. I’ve thought similar ideas and u articulated probably what many people think . Help those who want /need it and those who just want to shoot up and do crime , go live in the desert.
You are absolutely right. A 100%.
"Why does the US government prefer allowing homelessness instead of using taxpayer money to address the issue? Why does the US government allocate taxpayer funds to Israel????
Facts if homeless refuse services which many do because they don’t want to quit drugs then they should be relocated to where they can do what they want without harming others
I have a former classmate that’s done well financially that used to hire homeless people for jobs. He said half of them were too lazy to make it to the second day. Then the other half didn’t have the basic concentration to do menial tasks or would misinterpret basic instructions for a task. Needless to say he stopped hiring homeless people. I think I recall he said the longest any of them lasted was a week and a half.
I think you’re idea is not unpopular but would be a success. Of course unhinged liberals would never allow it because they want their voters spread out in all 50 states to get as much of the electoral vote as possible. The homeless vote democrat as does 90% of the unemployed.
I agree with you. They need to put them in a mental institution and not let them wonder around because it is dangerous for families and kid’s living in the same area.
So… criminalize homelessness and deport them… that’s a pretty brain dead take.
Need to drop the hammer on homeless committing crimes, need to scoop up the mentally ill and transport the rest to an area that doesn't clog up the system.
They have somewhere to go but keeping drugs illegal keeps them out of those places. Legalization will damn near solve homelessness.
The homeless City will have free drugs and alcohol.
It's unsafe for pedestrians who just want to walk around or go to their jobs in peace.
If they refused every opportunity they had, yes but if they’re hard working people , give them somewhere to live with contracts
QUIT FEEDING THEM and institutionalize them. They"ll think twice before choosing to live in the streets if they run the risk of starving.
Hard words but unfortunately necessary. I grew up in a time and country where these problems were not even worth talking about. But times have changed especially after the pandemic. Also I live in a different country without a backbone full of zombies roaming the streets and stealing around the neighborhood…
I agree with all his Decisions, they make total sense
I feel what and where you are coming from.... But me personally as a homeless person who is single and work and is homeless.... I cannot agree with your methods. One of the things that you're ignoring is that these are adults. And as long as they aren't committing crimes; as much as it's an eyesore.... Homeless ppl WILL NOT allow anyone to violate there rights.... So rounding them up will be a terrible idea... As a homeless person you learn within the 1st 3-7 days you fight to the death or you risk death.... So if police or someone else comes ppl on both sides are going to die
I've been working for 7 years living in my van. HOMELESS! COST OF LIVING IS TO HIGH! YOUR DELUSIONAL. HALF OF HOMELESS ARE WORKING! WHAT YOUR SAYING IS WRONG!
They need to bring back mental health facilities.
I agree
The ones I'm dealing with in Vegas are meth heads and the Second amendment is the only way to get rid of some around here.
And that's why I believe there be such thing as parenting license and job training should be mandatory in all schools.
I can agree w/some of the sentiments, but I just can't ever see anything like that actually being implemented... I just don't think it would survive the ballot and court challenges.
Also I sympathize with wanting to institutionalize ppl involuntarily, but that also raises question of individual freedom and liberty, along with the past abuses which have lead us to a world where we don't do that anymore. I'm just not sure I'm comfortable giving the government the ability to just put away mental health problems, I can see that going in a very bad direction.
Absolutely 💯 It must be done!!!!
I have been saying this exact thing for a while now. In this homeless City it will be divided up into different communities, from the nonviolent and well-behaved all the way to the lunatics. Carrot and stick. Everything will be provided, food, Healthcare, shelter, even drugs and alcohol. Just keep them away from us. If they want to leave they need to prove they are clean and can support themselves. And don't even start about rehab, rehab is over 90% ineffective and that is for people that want to be there.
That's I believe drug rehabs need to more efficient and should be mandatory.
Actually there’s a third type of person. The one who’s been screwed over by losing their jobs
No, person that loses their job can just go get another job. In a worst-case scenario they can go live with family or friends but homeless people are people that have screwed over all their family and friends. I know this for a fact. Homelessness is the culmination of a lifelong series of poor decisions.
Being institutionalized would work if former president Ronald Reagan didn't fuck that up years ago. If you are uncertain of this then look it up.
This guy should definitely run for president
Harder for them to survive in the middle of nowhere.
I live directly across the street from an elementary school. There has been a homeless guy living on the street corner off and on for the last six months. I’m tired of his tweaking behavior and I’ve called the police several times. One particular officer keeps insisting the homeless guy isn’t doing anything illegal. I tell him that he’s trespassing and setting up a tent on four different properties. I have the footage. Now the officer says if I keep calling- I’ve commented a crime! Only in California 🤪
,,, what they do with animals is relocate them to an animal sanctuary where they can do whatever they want in nature. unfortunately this tends to be increasingly reserved for endangered species rather than a general rule of thumb for any animal that wanders into the city limits.
3. There are homeless that are trapped in the system. They want to work, and they are not completely mentally disabled. However, they CAN'T because there is no right to shelter, nor is there a right to work or have a job.
We aren't just rounding them up because of the third category. You don't deserve to have clean streets and parks until anyone who wants a job or a house can get it. Simple as that! If the economy can't support such a system, whose fault is that?!
Drugs and alcohol put many people on the streets, and criminals hiding in houses are still using. Second reason!
@@SadhuBiochemistwouldn't something like universal basic income help them out a bit if they struggling to find a job or home?
In Dubai, they dump homeless in the desert and tell them to try survive.
Wait really?
.
I understand but it’s not that black and white. There’s people that do work that can’t afford to pay rent. But they hold a job.
A quick question, do you believe the homeless have a right to self defense and life?
100% agree with you and I'm a Democrat
Commen sense. That’s why politicians can never think like this
I have been homeless a couple of different times in my life. I lived in my vehicle and still worked and did not suffer from alcoholism or drug addiction. I would not go to shelters because I did not want to be around the kind of people who were at the shelters. If the people who were beyond helping were put somewhere the shelters would be a better place and people who fell on hard times would find them more appealing. And there would be less homelessness in the streets. Until that happens we will just have to deal with it.
A wise man once said "It's no measure of health to be well adjusted to a profoundly sick society"..
They need to build little cities with sheds , not even big houses, just sheds that are livable, with little stores, with opportunity to make a bit of income to get them on their feet. Little slum cities where they could live freely.
that is a expensive and stupid idea. leave the thinking up to the men.
This is not aging well with the current economic situation
Yes sir 100% right on All of it....
Having a good Father will help as well
what BLM doesn't want you to know...
@@sp3_outdoors you just gotta drop some racist bullshit, nice man.
@@theglutton1815 it’s no secret fathers help children black or white, BLM actively has said they want to abolish the nuclear family, I don’t see how being in favor of removing fathers from homes would help anyone, black or white
A gas filled garden sprayer and a match works too. That's what president Hoover did. He solved the problem real quick. Whether it be addicts, mentally and emotionally dysfunctional or just not wanting to work. He fixed that real quick
@@theglutton1815 what was racist about his comment? Do you not know the definition of racism? "The belief that different races possess distinct characteristics, abilities, or qualities, especially so as to distinguish them as inferior or superior to one another."
Now, what about that comment fits that definition? You deflate the word. If everyone and everything is racist then nothing and no one is.
I thought this would be worse, this makes a lot if sense.
The government got rid of the asylums. But it's ok to spend 300 million every 6 months on cleaning up and dealing with homeless with mental issues. The homeless with a mental issue need to be put away.
I got a neighbor who’s a bum by choice he has a place paid for by hud housing in California but chooses still make signs pleading for help for the public with blatant lies of homelessness..not only that but he sells drugs and is on drugs..so the scene is that of “night of the living dead “ it’s horrific to look at and unsafe for my children and wife..I don’t know what to do ..the police can’t help any either do to laxed laws
Drugs and mental illnesses is the problem. Your neighbor should get help by seeking rehab.
the way they solve homeliness now they just walk up to someone to say stop being homeless and expect them to stop living on the streets you could convert a parking garage into a contained shelter instead of them hanging out around the buildings that offer them help you have large commercial buildings standing vacant for years that could be used for pod beds along the walls three rows high with double cubes on each row easily put a in thousand beds that could have a locking door just put the money in the places it works the best buy vacant land that doesnt have tiny house laws that will restrict someone that isnt building a million dollar home
You are correct
Is actually three types of homeless people the third is someone like me who drove school buses and drives school buses that hit a temporary patch have to go to the homeless shelter get a housing voucher through the VA and get back on their feet and yes while I was at the shelter, I drove school buses
The only solutions go to the reasons people are in the situations they're in. Why don't they want to be integrated? Why are they pissed off? Why don't their efforts bear fruit? Concentrating on the symptoms is heartless.
Because they are lazy and don’t want responsibility.
@@btuff Wrong! Most homeless actually have full-time jobs.
@@sheldonhollis5258 on what planet?
We CAN'T SOLVE HOMELESSNESS CYCLES with PARANOID SOLUTIONS...
THOUGHTFUL HUMANE LONG TERM SOLUTIONS IS THE KEY & IT WILL TAKE MANY TO SOLVE IT IN THE CORRECT WAYS...
Holy shit, this dude is preaching eugenics and other human rights violations
And yes I do agree with you 💯 %
Yep. Long term psychiatric wards. It’s like a prison but not.
Much safer and better environment.
If people can’t function in society, then they shouldn’t be out in public.
THE WORLD IS OVERPOPULATED
I agree take them out and let them sort themselves out.
I think you are right to a point. The government needs to build places like army bases with places to sleep, a cafeteria, schools for job training, and a clinic for the sick or drug addicted. Then we need to tell the homeless they need to go to the camp or leave the city or go to Jail. But they cannot live on the street. Put this idea on your channel and everyone will like it.
Public housing should be a thing that really needs funding.
