I remember driving my Ford Ranger around without AC while living in PHX. I can't imagine the heat inside one of those tents on any given day.
So many and growing numbers all over the country. Here in Minneapolis it grows too. What we need is real world answers but what to do. I turn on my AC in my Ranger anything over 70!
Just like the Indians moved from the Salt River Valley up to the North in summer. Some, not all, of these folks, do try to move when they can. Seen several living in the national forest up outside Flagstaff in the summers. They can only legally stay up to like 14 days in same spot, & then must move, if Park Rangers do their jobs. It's terrible. Nobody is winning this fight. If these pple could actually work, the local businesses might be able to use them. Yet mental illness & drug abuse keeps them from being reliable employees. Perhaps a few can work. But most are mentally or physically impaired. It's something millions of dollars has been spent on, with little solutions shown for the money. Although O'Bidens team did give them Crack pipes & clean needles. So there is that.
So true. Something to think about.
With the summer months just coming up
So hot in Phoenix during the summer. If possible go north even about 1 hour and what a big difference in the temperature. No way would I be able to sleep in that heat.
As the man who was interviewed said- homelessness isn’t the issue it’s the side effect. If billions have been spent it’s time to find where did it go and hold people responsible.
Trillions of dollars of non-reneweable, renewable resources; and, human labor has been put all in the wrong places. Now United States needs new infrastructure and printing money causes immediate inflation.
It went to the politicians.
Stay safe.
Its even worse when that money is spent on spikes near stores to make sure the homeless doesn't camp there. Or poles and even robots that shoo away them. Its sad...
"NGO" Non-government Organization, churches, charities, etc.
I'm so thankful that my landlords are renting me a place to live in at a reasonable rate . Inflation is uncomfortable but i'm thankful that my job pays for my life.
You are lucky because rents are going up everywhere . Rent prices rose by 0.8% in june from a month earlier, according to the labor department it is the largest monthly gain since 1986.
How can the typical family with average income afford a higher rate+ more expensive home? in my area multi generational home is becoming the norm . Don’t forget to add the inflation which just this week was 9.1 on the CPI , producers index 11.3, it’s going to be a rough ride for sure.
Time will tell how this period will treat people that never save, invest, lived beyond means, paycheck to paycheck, too many kids, too big of home, keeping up with the joneses with FOMO,YOLO, paying alimony, child support, etc
@@marianparker7502 I raised all my rents at least 30% in the past year. You better hope your landlord doesn't catch on to reality.
Coming from a rental property owner, I've had my property for 16 years without raising the rent once and have always remained profitable, while keeping tenants happy. Communication, mutual respect, and humility are key. The rise in rent cost is fueled purely by greed. No one who can help this crisis will ever do anything to actually fix it, nor do they care about these people. The homeless don't contribute to campaigns and they can't take on new debt, and because of that they are not valued as human beings by any elected official or CEO.
Thank you for being a human being that gives a shit about his/her fellow mankind not enough of you
Finally one owner of a apartment building being honest thank you as a homeless vet I thank you for your honesty 👍
if it weren’t for rent control i’d have to move
Yeah, we all know it's greed.
Open borders and taking in 3 million immigrants a year has a lot to do with it
We have to open our eyes to what is happening to our society. I believe we are at a tipping point.
Thanks to republikkkans oligarchs
@@petdoctor3 How? please explain.
beyond the tipping point
We are past the tipping point. I don't believe there is anything we can do from here on out thanks to the dim wits in charge
@@petdoctor3 Republicans? Really? No, this has nothing to do with the Potato, the Hyena and the Drinker of the House
The homeless will always exist. The issue of skyrocketing rent is a real issue and needs to be curtailed. The cost of living should not mean you work 12 hour days just so you can pay rent , the same rent that is now close to 50 percent more than what it was 2 years ago. My rent went up about 25% from what it was a year ago. That type of increase is criminal.
Yes it is ridiculous like people are literally working hard just to pay rent no money to care for themselves or nothing extra for them at. Can't even save money for vacations or nothing. So guess what crime is going up people need want help not a handout but a way out. Mean while the rich get richer oh but guess what it won't safe when the homeless trickles up your driveway.

@@sarbantz Blues Clues ?
Uhhh, there are plenty of people living on the streets because having to pay rent & work would mean they'd have to cut back on their drug and alcohol consumption, PERIOD! On top of that they can drink and do drugs in front of a cop w/o fear of getting arrested.
Don't be so naive, the cops only bust people that have enough money for bail and a lawyer & community service. Work for free and we'll set you free!You bust the homeless, the establishment has to pay for shelter and food. If you haven't figured that one out yet it's time to wake up!
Thank biden🤮
i used to live in phx, and the heat is brutal. i cannot imagine being in a tent during the day or the night. it would have to be stiffling. hard to breathe, and super dangerous. this is just awful. i know the cost of a rental is crazy. has gone thru the roof. i have a friend late 50's that worries everyday about ending up homeless due to health issues. she is terrified that if she has a flare up, and cant work she will lose her very tiny one bedroom that she pays 1,000 a month for plus utilities/ that is crazy. she is educated, and has even owed a restaurant. her life sucks, she will never be able to retire. and if she ends up on SSI, she will absolutely be homless. 700ish a month wont even get her a studio apt. much less utilities, and food. shameful, they are failing their people!
Damm and Arizona is where I wanna move to in 4 years
The government should put the Homeless on the indian reservations.Put the good homeless back to work and keep the rest of the homeless that cant or dont want to work on the reservation.The government is already paying for the reservations,there is free medical,free dental and most of the times free housing for indians.The reservation is pretty much a Homeless Services area.,.It was never thier land,reservations were designed to keep the indians away from normal society.The reservations were built to keep the indians away from regular Americans because they were uncivilized.
Perhaps open borders and unlimited immigration is hurting americans
@@manager4409 i agree, for a million reasons. i know a girl who was dating an illegal cuban. both did a lot of drugs. he smacked her around a lot. ended up killing her. then he fled. even if he didnt return to cuba who cares. we dont even know if we knew his real name. no info on him. no way to catch him, and if they did prosecution would be next to impossible. i agree. borders closed. WE ARE FULL and FAILING OUR OWN PEOPLE!!!! closed until we catch up if that ever happens.also no more funding eveyone elses troubles and wars. we are failing our own so much. old people scared about money, working class terrified of losing a job and being homeless, should not be like this in this country! absolutely shamefull. BORDERS CLOSED! you know i am not political, i admit it, ignorance over here big time. why? cuz i cant change a nything. i see so many upset over the news, upset over elections . i mean fighting mad. i dont want that in my life, so i fight battles i can win. animal rights issues locally etc...where i can see results or fight harder to make them happen. BUT this next election, if trump runs i will be registered and will be voting YES! i am sick of political correctness where every word we say is subject to approval, i am sick of borders open and then our people suffering. so i do think Trump has some major cookoo issues (twitter etc) i think he will be the best of all evils. so sick of all this bs! btw i refuse to say african american, they are black and i am white. it is not rude it is a color, an adjective if you will. i like the name Cleveland Indians and it is not disrespectful instead i think it is honorable. all of this crap, all the tiptoeing, the border bs, being so gentle with those who dont follow the rules. heck no! TRUMP get in here and fix this crap, and stay off twitter! LOL
The only people getting $700 a month on SS are people who never worked or people who hardly worked. Most of us get between $1,500 and $2000 a month. That isn't a lot but it is way more than $700 a month.
I lived in the zone for 14 years. I'm now going on my year and 5 month sobriety, I still know of my friends and family that are still there in the zone. It took my own courage to take that step to get out of there, no one else!!!
Now immigrants
It’s like this all over America. The government is so wasteful. We should be fixing our homeland before we try to fix the world
It's illegal to set up tents in our town....so we have none. Sure we have homeless they stay with relatives or in shelters. Not on the street...think about all the smell of urine that would make if you allow folks to live in the street.
@@stefkadank-derpjr1453 oh trust me if it’s in America they have tents you just don’t see them In common places
Can’t fix drug addicts
Stealing our money.
Planned
No money should be sent to other nations or other nations let in until we help our own homeless and Vets.
Shut your mouth and do something about it yourself. Open up your home to them.
This worthless evil, scumbag joke of an administration obviously doesn't care about the country's citizens. Sad
Meh….how about both dummy?
Bla bla bla to much fox News lately???????????????
The problem is that spending money on our citizens gets called "socialism" and almost all Republicans will fight against it.
I keep thinking about the heat. Imagine how unbearable those tents become during the middle of the day
They don’t care they are high af!
Oh please. My father's family moved from the dust bowl to the Phoenix area in the early 1940's. Most people back then didn't even have swamp coolers.

There are going to be more with these rent prices. It's ridiculous that a family has to have two incomes just to afford a 1 bed apartment. 1700 in my area. What can we do, why is this happening? Im scared
FINALLY YALL PUT THIS ON THE NEWS!! ITS BEEN A PROBLEM FOR YEARS!
Another failure by your Phoenix liberal politicians! Vote them out! They are part of the problem and not part of the solution!
Build Back Better 😈
You guys in AZ keep voting wrong. The GOP wants to ignore homelessness, since it all started with Ronald Reagan & his policies.
The VERY DEMOCRAT STATE OF COLORADO has model system that actually gets ppl mental health help, a place to stay, & a job.
It's the same way here in Washington State it's crazy

Luckily no homeless in Democrat controlled Cities.
I would be homeless too without the help from my best friend of 20 years. We split everything. Rent food and gas and electric. Age 64 year old black woman. Airforce vet. I get a small VA check and social security check. I also work part time. She is on social security also. She is working on a master's degree. I have a bs degree in education. We good. She got my back and I have hers. Keep your head up people. God bless
Positive message god bless you as well 🙏
"I have a bs degree in education. We good. "
That's what it is going to take to make it now and in the future, cooperative economics. FACTS!
@@DW-ut4pg AND?
Amazing!!
I have been homeless. I know this problem is growing. Now that I am no longer homeless, and am clean and sober for 3 years, I am reaching out to anyone sharing something encouraging.
Where do you live sir?
Absolutely love the Southwest; stunning landscapes and enjoyed Scottsdale for the short time I was there ... but was involuntary when family moved there 10 months before being able to strike out on my own. AWAY from the heat. TENTS on SIDEWALKS? How are any of these people not frying?
I work 6 days a week, 10-11 hours a day and even with splitting rent here in South Philadelphia with my sister and my dad who both work, it is hard. We’re literally one illness or injury away from losing a home. Many of us are. I pinch every penny and save everywhere I can in fear that it does happen so I have a nest egg but what life do I really live? Now I’m even more worried because gas and food prices have skyrocketed. The issue is rising rents and lack of well paying jobs. There are “Help Wanted “ signs everywhere but they’re all paying no more than $15 per hour and the average rent here is $1,200 for a small one bedroom.
You ARE ABSOLUTELY thetypes of people who the welfare system was designed for How much is the country giving yo people who receive disability fir some RIDICULOUS reason such as drug abuse or anxiety 😳 How much is spent resuscitating junkies over and over. JUST BOGGLES THE MIND!
Go work in Canada before Trudeau build his wall
Thank Uncle Joe Biden's administration for this hyper inflationary economy.
Also, it's the cost of living in cities governed by leftist democrats.
Yeah not to mention most places now work you for 6 hour shifts 4 days a week to keep you under full time employment so they don’t have to give you benefits
News?
Instead of providing for our people, our government rather send trìllions of money to other countries. What a joke our government has become.
Medicare, medicaid, social security, disability payments, free methadone, free medial clinics. shelters, low income housing. The tax payers are doing a lot. What have you done to help yourself?
@@Greeneggsandham123 if I didn't help myself, I wouldn't be on RUclips replying to your comment. Enough is not enough when we still have people suffering. What has war ever done to improve our lives? We are privileged beyond belief, but people in those parts of the world that we helped destroy, what have we truly done for them? What good is war when both sides lose and the only ones to win is the super elites that profit from war. You may be good with enough, I'm not. I'm a taxpayer too so are you talking about the real taxpayers?
@@Greeneggsandham123 He said government, not tax payers. Jeff Bezos didn't need the 10 billion Biden just slipped him. 10 billion in Phoenix could have opened an infant formula plant and given the state more jobs. See the difference?
USA government love war. So they spend all their nationals finances in war everywhere!
That's right
this is going on in every city across the US, absolutely disgraceful.
I'm glad that i live in The Netherlands and not the US. Here in The Netherlands you would never see these kind of tent cities. We only have some refugees camps in The Netherlands, but that is another story.
@@blauwgeel2743I feel the same, I'm glad I live in Australia where there is nothing like this.
There are 3 major things that contribute to homelessness. Substance abuse, meaningful employment, and cost of living(mainly housing which is usually the most expensive). You can tackle any one of these and it can solve the problems for these individuals or prevent it from getting worse. Substance abuse would be the first one to tackle. People may start heavy substance abuse after job loss and or the ability to keep up with cost of living, aka hopelessness, giving up, trapping them in substance abuse with nothing to look forward to except for their next fix.
It would be interesting to know how many of them are college educated. Bad college programs that left them in debt and no job that society let them do to themselves. I felt this in the recession of 2008. The year I graduated mechanical engineering. It is an absolutely devastating experience. Spent all that time an effort just to get kicked in the teeth.
Mental Illness!! Big Factor you left out!!!!
@@snoopynow7523 That do you think are the main contributors of prolonged mental illness? Drug abuse, lack of purpose(work), and hopelessness(reaping the spoils of your efforts). Why do you lots of vets go homeless? Their work is over and they feel underappreciated for their efforts.
When in the ghetto they have studio apartments, with problems they ignore, paint over, etc...NO washer, NO dryer and you pay for all utilities, pest control...with the rent being $1,242...in a place near a very busy drug hangout and shootings...
Yes, housing is beyond a crisis point.
People get what they vote for. No problems like that anywhere near my Conservative run area.
City of Phoenix investing 50 million. I wonder how much of that is going to consulting work and private corporations trying to "fix" the problem.
I figure about $49.9 million or so...
How do I get in on that?
99.9% . can become a millionaire in a nonprofit business. corporations will line their pocket's with 50 million.
Don’t forget 10% for the big guy
Politicians pockets
*3 of 4* Those with income pay rent which is 10% of their net income to the *Homeless Shelter Village* [HSV] for their 2 person _Shelter 64;_ and 20% of their net income as rent for the 4 person _Shelter 100._ Their rent money goes to pay for: *childcare for working parents,* and one free meal per day; in the *Community-Room.*
I’ve noticed these tents popping up all over Phoenix when I visit there. There are three new ones near my moms house. They cook with bbq grills. It’s unfortunate. The first and largest fentanyl company was based in Az, Ahwatukee to be more specific, the cost of living has sky rocketed, and if I’m not mistaken, individuals are no longer instituted when suffering from mental disorders in Phx. It’s a terribly perfect storm.
I'm always afraid to end up on the streets. Barely making ends meet as it is. It's bad when you have to choose between life saving medication or food. It's always a fear to be homeless and have no where to go.
Don’t be afraid!

I read about a man in his 50s that started investing in stocks then retired in 2years with over $6million, that right there is my utmost goal and I'd really appreciate clues and tips on how to reach this goal within 5years
1. Limit your spending/cut off retail therapy
2.Put the extra cash towards investing in high yielding or steady investment.
3. Get a financial coach/mentor to guide through your investing goal. These might look simple but they require good amount of willpower, but through mentorship, I've been able to consistently grow my portfolio to $800K and I'm looking forward to retiring at 50 as well and I only wish I started up early.

Nice sales pitch ladies
The solution is so obvious -find a more suitable piece of ground for them to put their tents on. They're not complaining about living in tents, they'd just like to feel safer and the business owners in that area don't like them there because they're bad for business. So develop a campground for them of the appropriate size. There must be a parcel of land somewhere in Phoenix that fits the bill. Build bathroom and shower facilities, provide shade shelters, and arrange it so police can easily patrol it and keep the homeless safe. You might even have some social services available nearby. It won't cost much and the homeless will be safer and happier, and so will the rest of Phoenix.
Except they won't move. They want easy access to all the downtown workers to panhandle. They are also close to where the Diamondbacks and Suns play and they come out in full force to beg for money during one of their games. It's easier for them to buy drugs and alcohol in that area. It's not an issue to patrol that area now. The main police headquarters is literally just a few blocks away. They are already near government and private social services.
You put them in any other area and the surrounding area/neighborhood will just go down the drain. We all know what really needs to be done with this kind of homelessness, we just lack the courage to implement the solution.
@@notatthistime3867 You don't give them a choice. You move them. Cities do it all the time. They just haven't been giving the homeless a good alternative when they do it.
@@swerne01 I already laid out why they want to be in that area. There is no better area for them. What new neighborhood do you think will want to be burdened with a 1000 homeless people? How do you purpose forcibly keeping them in the new area? Would you be happy if the city dumped a 1000 homeless people near you?
@@notatthistime3867 Every city has run-down areas that no one lives in with vacant buildings and empty lots everywhere. I know there are reasons why the homeless want to live there. I'm sure the homeless wanted to live in the Venice Beach area of Los Angeles too, but that didn't stop the city from clearing them out of there.
@@swerne01 Again, you're just showing your ignorance of the Phoenix area. The area they are already in is run down and isn't densely populated. To west there is a low traffic cemetery. Phoenix isn't like Detroit where you just have rows and rows of either empty houses or buildings. They are doing the least possible damage in that area. There is no other place you can dump a 1000 homeless people in Phoenix and not have it immediately negatively impact that area. But by all means, show me on Google maps where they can be dumped?
If you haven't noticed, the homeless have returned to places like Venice Beach. The only reason they could clean up the camps to begin with was because they had available shelter beds to place them in. That's the only way you can clean up camps now if you're a city that falls under the Jurisdiction of the 9th Circuit Court of Appeals.
But if homeless people can overrun an area, they know there is nothing the police can do as there won't be enough shelter beds available to move them all. It's a game teh homeless and their advocates play.
I lived in Arizona for 2 years. & I can assure you that living in the streets of Arizona from April to September is attempted suicide by heat it’s so fucking hot even at night 2am 108 degrees. I hated riding in a car with no AC I would wake up sweating in my apartment it was insane
Another failure by your Phoenix liberal politicians! Vote them out! They are part of the problem and not part of the solution!
I started sweating just reading your comment. I'm going to turn up my air-conditioner now.
You're right my place has a swamp cooler and even with that on at night it's still hot I can't imagine being outside.
Yep. Wonder where they’re gonna go when it’s over 120 degrees. They’re predicting record heat this summer
Meh people do it in Iraq during the summer and it gets hotter there. No ac in a mud hut. People have become privileged and don't educate themselves on how to stay cool with out those everyday devices most take advantage of.
How can anyone tolerate living in a tent in Phoenix? I lived there in the early 2000s and I would sweat just going from my air conditioned house to my air conditioned car. I cant imagine how hard that has to be.
ill keep you in my prayers.
I can't speak to Phoenix, but technology does help. I have multiple high powered fans which are life savers in the summer. Not much you can do during the heatwaves when its still like +28c outside at night time though, just have to tough it out. Fortunately my city does have "cooling centres" during these periods of time, which come in handy.

we just drove from Ohio to Phoenix to get my brother-in-law out of the ZONE. brought him home and got him into a treatment program. someone as an individual has to care about an individual. the state isn't capable of fixing this. it takes people with big hearts to fix one person at a time.
Except other countries with strong social safety nets (e.g., Europe, Asia) have programs specifically to help rehabilitate people/treat mental illness. So government can solve it, if it's allowed to.

It never used to look like this when I lived in Phoenix from 2008-2012. Homeless were always down by 9th and buckeye but not like this. What are the politicians doing?
Looking for election in California
I was there in the late 90s and there for sure were lots of homeless colonies. It looks much worse now.
Thank your government for helping other countries besides ours!
The homeless population is increasing everywhere. I travel via van a lot, and have seen a drastic increase in both large and small towns ranging from Florida to the Colorado Front Range.

Homelessness is massive issue everywhere. 😔
How do these people survive ? Shelters might give them meal but as soon as the sun goes down there's nothing between you and every desperate addict in the city. Incredible.
This is a direct consequence of exorbitant housing costs. Homelessness is everywhere in the U.S. and pathetic. At least in developing countries the poor typically have a roof over their head.
this is because of racism
a lot of these ppl couldn't get jobs because of race
True 👍. I spend time in Mexico. Hardly any homeless in Yucatan.
Increasing property tax increased rent. Taxing the rich isn't always the brightest solution.
The governments of those countries don't destroy the shelter poor people build like this Satan's government does. Taxes, building permits, zoning laws, etc. Make it impossible for poor people,especially those that are old and sick, to get anywhere in the USA and they keep importing more homeless people from other countries, of course, they are treated better than citizens already here. Too much government regulation by the rich establishment is the main problem, it will be the death of this country eventually.
Glad to see this problem finally getting some attention. Keep it up Justin! As a ride share driver that picks up and delivers passengers there, I see this problem and it's only getting worse. Three to four years ago the tents used to be just around 12th ave and Madison intersection, right outside of the CASS guard entrance. Now it's exploded - and exploded all over town. It's sad. I tip my hat to the CASS employees every time they get in my car. They're overwhelmed, but still trying to help. Homelessness is the result of multiple problems in our society that are not being addressed by either political party.
It's not the job of govt.
Doing rideshare, you see where they're allll at
Try personal responsibility.
The government doesn’t care and only serves corporate interest groups.
@@divinelycreated4him Is it really the government’s job?
When I was young I was the shift manager of a Mc Donald's and found a homeless guy eating cheese out of the trash compactor. When I asked him to leave he scolded me saying how would I like to eat what he eats every day. I asked him why doesn't he find a job. "Who's gonna hire me", he replied. I said I will (while thinking how am I going to explain this to the owner). I told the homeless guy to show up tomorrow at 4pm and he'll have a job and a free meal each day. He never showed up. Made me sad. I really thought I was going to help one of them. 😞
I couldn't imagine how horrible it has to be to live in a tent in Phoenix 😑
Severe shortage of affordable housing in Arizona. While doing some research, I discovered old buildings for rent that were awful dumps for outrageous prices. Wages need to reflect the rising costs of housing, food; etc. It's appalling the numbers of homeless in America.

Let me break it down for everybody. Was living in my car through late May in Phoenix. At night the lowest temperature was 109 degrees between 3:30am and 5:30am. It was amazing. When the sun rose I still wanted to sleep an extra hour or two so I adapted to sleeping in a puddle of sweat. This was all in the shade of a building or tree. Working at least so I made enough money to bail to San Diego. Only in the winter is camping legit in Phoenix. Folks camping in mid July are Living in a hell hole.

We pay billions here too.

We should send weapons to the zone instead

This is the most beautiful thing I have ever seen!
This seems to be happening in ever major city in the country right now. The price of rent and bills are so high that even if you can pay them there is no money left to buy food. As long as inflation rises faster than wages this problem will only get worse.
America likes to tell everyone it is the richest country in history. …yeah if you say so! LoL!
Homelessness was a big problem well before the recent jump in inflation.
@@mizzury54 not at the levels they are now. I'm not talking about the recent inflation, I'm talking about over the last three to four years. In many places homelessness has doubled and tripled in the last four years.
@@jlv3x I remember 15 years ago there being tents of homeless people in Portland Oregon. I see it here in Charlotte NC now days.

I believe we are just seeing the tip of the iceberg coming & i truly believe the worse is yet to come. We should all be alarmed.

@@Novastar.SaberCombat Everyone that has a success story, seems to leave out the key ingredient- it takes money to make money. Someone gave them a "leg up"!! A poor man saving money working a job cannot save enough to go into business these days. Everyone spends what they make.
I've been there lost everything living out of a car with small kids, and I agree someone gave them a leg up they should not begrudge others without a support system.
I had to bite the bullet and beg help from my family who I been estranged from due to physical and mental abuse. I had to sit and weigh whether putting my family in that environment was better than the car we were living in. People like to harp on about "poor choices" I literally ran away, and had got married young, had a pretty ok job and lost it all when my ex-husband left.
There are people who make poor choices because those poor choices are slightly better than the alternative choice. For me it became a game of stepping stones to get to jump from one abysmal choice, outweigh pros and cons to another slightly less abysmal choice. I payed that game for almost 16 years and it's hell.
The US does not give people the help they need to pull themselves out, they leave you on the bones of your ass with nothing but lip service. Anyone who thinks there is help has never applied for that help, it's impossible to get.

Many people blame Newsom for Homelessness in California but refuse to blame Ducey for it in Arizona.
The fact that most people don’t have enough money saved in case of an unexpected expense - like a health care bill, or your car breaking down.. everyone is living on a knifes edge where you are teetering between just getting by and being homeless.
I live in Chandler, just southeast of Phoenix. I went to check this out after watching this video. This is unreal. How did this happen? It didn't happen overnight. The mayor of Phoenix and Governor "do nothing" Ducey have known about this growing problem for a long time. This needs to be cleaned up NOW.
Ducy feels we must build a wall as a priority even though these people in the tent cities modestly in that speak English...this is in all the Republicans ads for people running for office...build the wall...don't help the homeless don't make housing affordable, don' t feed the hungry, don't help with the water crisis....no the wall is their #1, 2 and 3 priority..after that it is keeping democrats out of office and having a larger government presence in people's sex lives and their bodies, who they can marry, etc. Keep the government out of business and put it onto peoples personal lives is how the AZ Republican politicians and candidates want to run things even though many Republicans think we have lived here for decades and never once been attacked by an illegal immigrant but we all pay high gas, food ,tax , etc.
In reality, it started from an unchecked opiote issue that got way out of control and without certain protocol's to reel it in, the problem itself becomes an abused stepchild of a problem and used as political arsenal by whoever's next in line to the podium, doctors knew what would come, as some held on to most of their patients after the DEA threatened and forced them to cut their patient rosters by 75 percent and we're practicly making new rules monthly to get rid of patients, the DEA had all the doctors scared of being arrested, and many did get harassed and arrested and lost everything because of the DEA's tactics, so, a patient gets cut off for whatever violation, now because of the new policies put in place by the DEA, it was almost impossible for someone to get another doctor to help them get the same medication they'd been taking, with that, many went to the street and started buying heroin, and thats when the next set of issues come in and so on, it's been going on for years, and it seems they're being left to die, but like I said, the problem has been used as arsenal by many, billions of dollars paid by the drug makers hmmm...
@@rubendeaz it's also what the government has done with the mentally ill...so many institutions shut down, then group homes had to be more selective on who they could have live there and other people just can't afford the doctors or the meds to stabilize their conditions to where they can hold down a job.

*1 of 4* Cities can eliminate homeless tent encampments by replacing them with *Homeless Shelter Villages* [HSV] using _Pallet Shelter's_ existing *Homeless Shelter Village* [HSV] components. The _Community Room_ sells for $37,000 and serves as a shared laundry room, restaurant, *child daycare center,* and addiction services center. The _Bathroom_ cost $35,000 and the _Services Office_ costs $9,000. So for only $81,000 a city can establish a *Homeless Shelter Village* [HSV].

My great grandmother Florance was homeless here back in the 1950s..
I was in deep poverty and had to work 3 jobs just to keep a roof, transportation and healthcare. By the end of an almost 70 hour work week I had $10 to my name. I hate when people say "live within your means" they are telling that to someone who don't smoke, has no tattoos, doesn't drink, had no cable, WiFi, and wore Walmart/thrift store clothes as a divorced parent of 2. We barely had any food and zero luxuries. Because the cost of basics is out of reach on a working class wage. I worked too damn hard to live that bad.
