I hadn’t really thought about the homeless problem in Alaska. Something tells me that largely takes care of itself, no?
Inother words: America is rapidly becoming unfit for human habitation
All of our social safety net dollars are going to illegal aliens now instead. Won’t see any of them on the streets, they’re living in hotels.
We already have it in Reno. Have had it for a few years.
The problem in the winter is drunk natives in Anchorage. They have money, housing, lots of liquor, and nothing to do, nothing required of them other than to get drunk.
Then we need to place the homeless in mental institutions. We are enabling them to make bad choices so it's our fault.
You don't see this crap happening in Singapore.
Living on the streets in many northern states is not feasible during the winter.
It would be more like freezing to death on the streets.
Kind of a self-correcting problem.
My Midwest college town has a frightening number of homeless, and most of them don’t look like drug addicts. They look like people who lost their jobs and their homes and were kicked out onto the street.
I'm not seeing the problem.
Not enough coffins to go around?
Regards,
Watford city North Dakota had a homeless guy.
And ten degrees below zero weather.
The guy jumped into a dumpster and fell asleep.
When he woke up his feet were frozen and they had to amputate both of them
And we exacerbate the issue by inviting millions and millions of ILLEGALS into our country. America is committing suicide right before our very eyes. The politicians haven’t figured it out yet that they can insulate themselves by the ruins coming to their compounds too. They may end up being prisoners on their own estates.
Soon it’s gonna look like “Escape from New York” where they wall off the decaying cities and tell them to fend for themselves.
From a good source - there are three types of homeless.
There are the “urban campers”. those people have resources, family, etc. They just enjoy living in the streets (believe or not, there are a lot of them!).
There are the people who got some family problems, like hostile divorce, lost job, etc. . which forced them on the streets (yes, there are some like that on the street, the media try to convince us that all are like that, we the conservative, tend to discard them all), and then there are the mentally ill and drug addicts.
There should be different approach to these groups.
The urban campers should be banned from the streets, the poor shall be given some job and the mentally ill should be sent to hospital.
None of them really need a shelter, homelessness is a symptom, not a disease.
apparently, all of them have some money/resources from welfare, food stamps, and all those kitchens and thrifts stores. They do not really starve, what they really need is to be treated like individuals and address their underlying problems.
Unfortunately our welfare/police/lawsuits system is exactly the wrong medicine!
It’s what happens when a nation goes into economic depression/collapse.
Not all America.. just liberal run shxtholes that allow it. You block a road around here in protest you’d become tired tread slime, try stealing a bunch of stuff in a store and running out you’d have several folks pointing guns at you. Try car jacking you’d be blocked in and beaten severely. Breaking in to a house, even the elderly would be shooting.
Instead of new laws and ordinances, how about just enforcing what’s already on the books. I’m sure it’s not legal to urinate and defecate in public anywhere. Fine them. Lock them up. Whatever the law calls for.
Enforce the anti-littering laws, public drunkenness, no smoking within 25 feet of an entrance...there is a ton of nuisance laws that the rest of us have to live by. Set up a free needle exchange in front of councilmen and judges houses. See how they like it.
More importantly, it’s well past time to hound these “church affiliated” NGOs that are assisting the illegals to assist the homeless instead.
EC
Controlled demolition
Apt description.
What happened to “sanctuary cities”?
How about States’ rights?
One size fits all legislation is why we have this problem. And the rights of homeless peeps should not infringe on the rights of the entire populace. (Well, the Constitution used to say that.)
