Besides getting the social justice brownie points, you will have someone to help get the kids get ready for bed.

During her annual State of the City address on Thursday, Oakland Mayor Libby Schaaf called on her constituents to open their doors and residences to the city’s homeless, as union workers picketed against her for her administration’s handling of the city’s rampant housing problem. “Give up that Airbnb. Fix up that back unit,” Schaff said, encouraging property owners to lease apartments at more affordable rates to recently homeless individuals, according to the San Francisco Chronicle.
“In Oakland, we don’t step over the homeless we step toward them,” Schaaf said.
The city’s uptick in vagrants is tied to a general gentrification in the Bay Area, stemming from San Francisco, where artists and innovators unable to afford skyrocketing rents have migrated to Oakland.
In May, the Chronicle noted that a survey by Everyone Counts found that the number of homeless persons in Oakland had increased by 25 percent since two years ago.

Taking a crack addict into your home means a lifetime of saying “now where did I put that remote” about many objects in your life.
Maybe he means the noble illegal immigrants who come to this country with no money, no home, and work for cash which they then wire back HOME to THEIR country.
Is the Ghost Ship open again for business?
I live in CA. Took in a homeless guy my son’s age. Met him in church, recently discharged from the Army,seemed like he needed a hand up, to get back into civilian life. I required he be sober. Landed two part time jobs,and he started paying room and board. Also went on to meth use. Got hauled off by the cops during a meltdown in my driveway, and headbutted a deputy. When he got out,I paid him $500 to evict himself. I was extremely fortunate that he accepted the offer.
Is hard for me to even think of a response to something SO ASININE.
I don’t think I can.
Still trying.
Well, if anyone is stupid enough to go against ALL MAMMALIAN NATURE and take in suspicious, ill, filthy fringe people with nothing to lose into their home while they sleep, I hope they sue their city for the thefts, diseases, and wrongful deaths that will occur.
Forensic Files is on HLN,not ID——at least in my area.
I still have cable,and will keep it,because my tech skills are minimal and cable is easy for my old brain.

A ruling from a mayor to force people to take the homeless into their homes would be challenged as unconstitutional under the 3rd amendment.
The Supreme Court ruled that agents of the state are covered by the 3rd amendment.
From Wikipedia Third Amendment to the United States Constitution :
The Third Amendment has been invoked in a few instances as helping establish an implicit right to privacy in the Constitution. Justice William O. Douglas used the amendment along with others in the Bill of Rights as a partial basis for the majority decision in Griswold v. Connecticut (1965), which cited the Third Amendment as implying a belief that an individual's home should be free from agents of the state.
If the mayor demands that the homeless be quartered in private homes, she is declaring them to be wards of the state and a 3rd amendment case could be made.

You dodged a bullet, maybe in more ways than one
No doubt !
How old was Charles Manson when that picture was taken?
Yes, FF is on both HLN and ID, on DISH anyway.
I know what you mean about no tech skills. I’m totally dependent on my in-house tech guy.
Libby Schaftjob .. Oakland Mayor.. What a Quan upgrade can do for you.. Next stop, StinkyMento.. like her predecessor?
“artists and innovators”
Libspeak for “able-bodied people that refuse to be enslaved by 9-5 jobs like most of us”...
Good pic; that “environmental damage” has been used here in NJ when libs want homeless encampments in the woods removed by the government. They can pretend they still care about the homeless, but they care about the Earth as well (in fact, they just want them somewhere else).
I gave one a lift to a treatment center one time - took over a year to completely remove the foul smell.....let’s see those who make the suggestions set the example....
