Damn... I agree with housing first whole-heartedly but if Houston is the example of success I can't imagine how bad is the rest of the country must be..

Giving people a place to live makes them no longer homeless. Wow crazy idea. 🤯 There’s still really bad drug and mental health issues.

I’m gonna be honest it’s tough in Houston. In order to be considered homeless you have to be seen living outside for an extended period of time. There’s a place called tent city or something like that it’s actually right next to a “shelter”(I’ll explain). You have to be seen living in tent city basically. So let’s say you have no where to go, no housing nothing but you have had somewhere to stay but it’s not permanent. You aren’t considered homeless then. So in order to be actually considered homeless you have to really suffer. It doesn’t matter if you’re poor and have nothing if you have help from any individual that helps you not sleep outside on the concrete, you are out of luck out of help. There are a variety of programs you can look into but it’s lots of work and if you are homeless and have no resources how do you get around? I’m certain Houston is doing good things but access to those things for people can be hard at times unless you’re willing to put yourself into dangerous situations. That’s the problem. In order to qualify you have to almost nearly experience things you shouldn’t have to just to get help. You shouldn’t have to move in with roommates you don’t know or family that doesn’t help or care about you. That’s the problem.

Who could have guessed that building affordable housing would solve homelessness... Genius.

I pay for premium so I don’t need your disrespect in sticking your damn ads in!!

honetly theres a real simple solution to homeless ness its called find a temporary land to house them and make a division team that would find them an entry level job based on their experience and knowledge , we have this before method before in the philippines in the early 90;s 80.s we almost literally have zero homeless that time everyones well fed homed and have extra for savings even though pays arent exactly on the level of minimum that time , if people have enough purchasing capability itll move the economy on its own without the need for politicians cause they;re the main vulnerability in the cog

that's great that the soon to be mayor had a personal interest BUT HOW in the heck did she get her constituents on board - it was either a story of the right time and place OR they actually figured out the FINANCIAL BENEFITS of actually solving homelessness - I thought you were gonna break down the details = POLITICAL WILL = COOPERATION BETWEEN MANY PEOPLE WITHIN THE BODY POLITIC --- DETAILS PLEASE!! FEEL GOOD RHETORIC ABOUT DOING THE RIGHT THING DOESNT MODEL ANYTHING TANGIBLE FOR OTHER CITIES TO GET IDEAS FOR NEW ACTIONABLE IDEAS ?!

Yeah, they tired that in Cali. The junkies didn’t want it.

Houston is now a real and wonderful example to the rest of the US that homelessness can be eradicated even in the US. No excuses any more. It's time to end help that doesn't help and start giving what is effective to get the people out of the misery life as soon as possible.

It's encouraging to see such positive outcomes from compassionate policy-making. Thank you for sharing this success.

They should do something about it in San Antonio Texas instead of building ANOTHER STADIUM FOR THE SPURS. They built one that's not enough?

I FUCKING KNEW IT! How can anyone rebuild without a base to build on. The speed of information is too high for the mainstream to keep manipulating the news. And now our level of tech is able to track and redistribute resources way more efficiently than we ever could. Government is gonna become less necessary as we evolve to our next ability to organize if we are able to come together, everyone. Particularly with these advancements happening right now. More than that, look up the Thunderstorm Generator. A team are going around doing live demos of mod attachments they can put on generators and engines that makes it run on water and exhausts 20% oxygen and no carbons or hydrocarbons. They were either zero or near zero. It only puts out pure air. I want to run a good program called Everyone Eats! With the focus being on establishing the soil food web as the standard for growing agriculture and getting off of chemicals and additives in the soil.

Great topic and video. I’ve lived in the Houston area since 2017 and have been impressed with the way homelessness has improved. It’s still has its issues and hot spots to be sure, but it not nearly at the levels you see in a place like Portland or Phoenix.

They grow wild all over where I live.

Any tips on transplanting them mine has overgrown my front garden. I would like to plant it in my backyard where it can do its thing.

They're invasive; keep a watch out for them if you don't want them to spread. I'm trying to remove them from my yard because they took over, but they city is using that fast-growing aspect along our creeks to stabilize the banks.

I think the fruit tastes like nothing :)

Great in-depth telling of the Arboretum SA origin and future trajectory! Going to be an incredible gem for our city, strategically placed in SE SA! 💚

Wish I could stay bent down on my knees like you do. Good video.

My grandma had this, or somthing very similar, in her yard in Vegas. Every fall it would be smothered in bees and butterflies.

Minimize universal building codes, place an emphasis on local retail - not chains. Get rid of parking requirements. No big one shot deals like convention centers, arenas or entertainment zones. People want a sense of place, authenticity. Minimize private equity and LLC developers. You will need a lot of luck and a strong civic engagement so SA doesn't look like anywhere USA.

35 between SA and Austin is a hellscape. The flyover ramps they are building are TXDOT gold. The number of parking garages in SA is ridiculous. Landlords need to be held accountable for their properties. Good series of videos. Makes you think.

Baltimore, MD has a deconstruction program too.

Thank you for the info

I have 7 of these in front of my house. No plant I have or have ever had even comes CLOSE to attracting as many pollinators as the white mist flower! If I could, I’d surround my entire house with it, not to mention how delightful it smells. Everyone should plant white mist flower lol

I just planted 2 of these. 😊

Only 15% germination rate. Might want to throw a couple more seeds in there than you thouhgt

Where can I get the seeds for this plant I've been looking for them for a long time do you sell them seeds

Bro. I love your positivity. Hope we pull this off and reverse all ecological damage. I'm trying to figure out my end. Keep it going. 🙌

I think my um. My poor poor soil isn’t allowing my native plants to grow…no progress in a year!

Does it just bloom once. Or is it continuously blooming into winter?

The hard part with doing things like a tool library is if somebody just keeps the tool or sells it. How do you track who has it at any given time? Or how do we add more tools? I'm working on building my own soils at home for gardening and making teas. Not sure what kind of garden i can get away with, but I'm looking up permaculture. I want to learn how to identify the microorganisms in the soil and balance the food web with a compost specific to each soil sample. Not buying nutrients and soil amendments. Though I'm still working on the water quality of city water problem. That's what makes it expensive to keep. We only need to fix the soil and house water. I want to get involved in all these things going on in San Antonio, but haven't looked up any local organizations yet. Starting with my home. Beginning to meet people and find this world little by little. Need to find work doing this.

Love this plant. Great in shade.

Very nice.I want purches small plants.

Great information!

Thank you for the information on Texas natives. Please make some more.

Nice! Leon Valley doesn't qualify for SAWS coupons 😒🙄

Give VALUE. FIRST..😂.. stop. It with adds.. we usually fast forward..anyways geez.. try to be a like the bald guy in the thr futur channel..rarely sells.stuff in the middle.of interview😂

Video on Rangoon, creeper. Please.

Rainbow gardens on 281 and Thousand Oaks, don't forget Shades of Green ,Fanicks.

Inmates in Angola prison louisiana. Used the leaves to make tea. My dad told me that in the 90s. Its possible that a procedure similar to how cocaine is made quite possible to create the same affect. Cocaine out of yo pon

I planted one of these in the spring in my garden near Austin. It’s now Fall, it has spread to several times its original size, and I have 2-4 queen butterflies on it every day, it seems at least one is there every time I go outside.

I am loving the complete guides! I'm slowly adding native plants to my garden in Austin.

Thanks for these videos!!! I've been gardening in SA for years and have always wanted more local gardening videos.

Thank you. I need this plant in my property.

I came here because I misunderstood the video title as innovative new materials, but I stayed because your purpose is amazing, honorable, practical, wise and kind. Kudos to you guys. All the best.

Bro, WHAT?! I have got to get down on this! This is what i want to help with. Yes! Tree shade Everywhere! 😆

Oh buddy . . . I'm there with you. The whole system is about to be updated. I'm working on learning soil microbiology and building a self sustainable home for myself. From there, to keep working with neighbors to get their houses updated with gardens and other systems. With the broader goal of reaching to all the farms and ranches in Texas, to get all of them to stop tilling and get off of chemicals that are killing the microbiology in the soil. TBH, if this happens, and it spreads, it will reverse climate issues so fast that they'll forget oil was a problem. So long as we get to build thick soil everywhere, idc.

Just wrapped up a 1300 sq ft lawn reduction. The lawn was replaced with native and well adapted plants. It was a year in the planning and only took 2 months to get through the HOA😝 Hopefully it inspires a few others in the neighborhood to do the same.

If its cochineal harvest it and make red pigment!
