this is an issue in Seattle, Portland, Eugene, Reno, Phoenix and Tucson (from my personal experience). we will not fix this without fundamentally fixing our society. we are sick, and no amount of political posturing is going to fix these issues.
We will not fix it without destroying the lives of the rich and making a return to their normal lives impossible. The lawyers, the realtors, the politicians, the celebrities, and the born wealthy all need to have their lives ruined and we need to refuse to help them in any way. Let them starve on the corners.
You want to fix the problem, make it a problem for the people that created it.
@Johnpaul: I agree. Let's start now fixing society. It will be us next. None of this selfishness is just.
@@THEROOTMATTERS go ahead and give up everything your husband worked for, god knows you don’t understand the value of money.
So, according to the guy they interviewed, the new shelter is too clean and organized (and it doesn't allow drugs. alcohol or weapons). Unfortunately the lesson learned after so many of the same failures, is that the only way to eliminate the homeless "problem" is to bulldoze their camps and send them packing to the next "Camp Hope". Sadly, that seems like the ONLY effective thing.
And "fixing our society" is just pie-in-the-sky do-gooder empty rhetoric. How does one "fix society"?
Yep... We truly are a Dope Sick Nation and the mental illness crisis on top of that makes it even more catastrophic 😢🤔
It's a sad situation. But also I think some of these people just don't want to go by the rules in the shelters. In these campsites they can do whatever they want and get away with it.
That right there is facts.
I’ve lived here for 52 years. I’ve never seen it this bad. “They” (the owner of the land?) should have never let it get this bad. There’s not many places for people to go who have mental issues & or drug problems. Something must be done.
The cities, counties, and states are not the parents of the homeless people.
Many of the homeless can go work if illegals come and make it in the USA so can the homeless.
The homeless just want to be lazy and babied an do nothing to earn their keep, go ask them.
This homeless problem has been around for years got worse because of being babied and more money put into it.
@@eddav8089 well said!!!
the problem is is that they don't want any rules and you can't have a group of people just living somewhere with no rules. If they want a place to stay then they need to follow rules otherwise they really don't want it that badly so they should have to move on. Everyone has to follow rules where they live and they should have to also.
Please bring them to Jay Inslee's house and Olympia, WA.
lol that'd be cool
Don’t listen to to ANYTHING Seattle or LA has to say about homelessness. They are the example of failure. Let’s find cities with the least homelessness and replicate them.
That's the dumbest thing you'll ever say
I wouldn't have my name attached either
My guess is you’d rather have them imprisoned for being poor
@@Flamingpins what's your recommendation?
@@Flamingpins They are not in this position because they are poor. A lot of people are poor that don't live like this.
Jewels helping hand should be jailed too!!!
Fat bitches is right
Yes! The officials know what’s going with her and they pretend they don’t know! I watched it with my own eyes when I worked for the shelters! She needs to be stopped she is a huge reason this is happening. Go down and ask any homeless person about her they will tell you she is an addict herself and she supplies the homeless with drugs while taking their ssi checks to pay for those drugs. She is a piece of work! The officials know this including our mayor!
Can't help folks who don't wanna be helped, I'm sure not all of the decline but plenty will to keep this camp the way it is. Same thing in Santa Cruz, they'll just move it every 6months.
Not everyone that's homeless is due to drugs and prostitution. And even if they are you guys do nothing to help people and then turn around and say the most disgraceful stuff.
I honestly don’t understand this mindset. Why have any laws if anyone could just argue well people will just not obey them anyway. If you really want to solve a problem we are going to have to realize that if they are not going to work willingly we have to make them. We somehow managed to throw people in jail for having an ounce of weed on them but we can’t make homeless people pick up trash on the streets? Just be honest nobody wants to do anything about it. If people wanted to fix this problem we would have it done in a matter of a couple of years.
@@jordanwhite8718 you don't understand that mindset because you've never dealt with these people. You think it's everyone elses problem.... these people outright CHOOSE to live like this.... They don't want to change or accept help. Maybe speak(or attempt to) some of them..... I find it easy to spot those who don't come out of their bubble and experience what these people are.
@@mattbarker1411 Are used to ride the bus in downtown Seattle so I have a pretty good idea of who these people are. Most of them are just down on their luck drug addicts or people who should be in a mental health institution. We can all think Ronald Reagan for them not getting any help. When people are in situations like that they probably feel like they don’t deserve help, or they just don’t know how to get help. And like I said before if we had this attitude about murderers and rapists the world would be a much worse place. I am sick and tired of this attitude that because people don’t want to work we should just let them live in filth and make everyone else’s life worse. Sometimes you have to give people Toughlove in order to make them do better.
@@jordanwhite8718 most choose to live this way drugs and drugs are there main priority if they wanted help they would seek it..
They need to go get a job people need to stop to making them believe it’s okay to live like that. There’s plenty of work out there.
That's the thing they don't want a job like literally everywhere in Spokane is hiring they can walk in and get a job immediately it's just they can't cuz they're not clean and they choose not to be
Take notes from Portland.. Don't decriminalize drugs and don't make it legal for them to camp anywhere they want.
Do what nobody else seems to want to do- Crack down on mental illness and drug addiction. Until then, nothing will change.
You can't make a post and change do you deal with addiction problems and this is also America when we first came here we camped anywhere we could because we will desperate to get away
@@zackting622 it couldn't hurt. At least we're thinking and talking about possible solutions. I believe that's more than what most of the "elected officials" are doing.
The crazy thing is, they have the actual opportunity to make a difference with funding, yet continue to just talk about the problems. There's more pay for them, the longer they can "discuss" the problematic issues.
What we need to do, is find out how to get the funding, so we can actually get a ball rolling. I have had it with the talks and discussions. So, tell me. How do I get the funding to start fixing the problems?
@@zackting622 lol yes the first colonials we’re JUST like the Tweakers at Camp Hope!
Yes the war on drugs has been an astonishing success for 5 decades now. Does anyone have any real solutions
@@jacobnapkins1155 those who have real solutions are sent to jail as "combatants".
There is no such thing as "war on drugs".
With a title of "War", they get the government funding. Money is what they desire. Next to come, is the 'War on Homelessness".
This has got to end. We cannot continue to let camp hope hold this city hostage!
@Dragonkin57 Spokane has over 300 available beds at shelters. The people who are at camp hope are there because they either do not want to follow the rules of shelters like not being there under the influence or they enjoy the lifestyle. Believe it or not some of them don't want any help. Instead we allow a over run camp full of drugs that is causing mass crime in the area to continue uncontrolled actually hurting members of the community.
How do you expect us to get jobs without proper shelter, hygiene, clothing, ID, social security card, or birth certificates? Experience homeless before making assumptions.
Don't call it camp "Hope" call it camp Crime.
Camp dope. What I fail to understand is why there is kids down there????
@@antarcticmoongiant2691 how much you want to bet those kids are getting passed some Mommy and Daddy can get their drugs if you know what I mean
No Rent Control
No affordable housing
Perhaps someone should arrest drug user and sellers, make people that can work actually get a job, and kick them off when they try to set up tents. Police need to arrest folks they see breaking the law, not babysitting the homeless camp.
I was homeless for a year and a half. I managed to throw out my garbage in a receptacle, find a rest room, and didn’t steal from anyone. I worked toward a more stable home life. I am also disabled so don’t give me the BS about they can’t work.
More like Camp Dope
Camp Hope? This is Camp Woodward. Weird inaccuracy in KREM's reporting here.
It sort of does represent spokane. It's not exactly cheap to live here, anymore.
That fence is a joke. You think thieves are going to let a stupid fence stop them. They climb them all the time. Or they cut them. Fo a quick in out.
Then they have a place to go to
And next to no one goes.
Why does Jewels Helping Hands sound sketchy???? I remember when they set up a “warming”shelter at the Women’s Club on the South Hill after Julia got the keys to the building without having a contract in place. Someone needs to audit them to see exactly where the money is going. Certainly, JHH would want to ensure that there are homeless people to “service” so they can continue getting paid by the city/state. Talk about a conflict of interests.
Is she also know as “Jewels”? e.g., her nickname? If so - wow!
You're funny. I saw the news today. Fraud reported. Guardians Services And another Spokane housing party.

I've tried to contact Julie. She won't respond to my Facebook friend request. I think she is getting rich off this
4 replies and youtube only shows me 2. shes sketch af
Send all of them over to Jay inslees home and let them camp out there in his house and front lawn
I've live in Spokane for my whole life. I just moved to Florida and I'm astonished at how Spokane a small city with a huge economy manages this. While these huge cities with basic economies look like the south hill on steroids
I can’t believe there are companies offering STUDIOS for $1500 here now. It makes sense now why we have so many houseless people.
What do you mean? Are you saying spokane is doing bad dealing with it?
High rents are correlated with more homeless big cities have higher rents therefore more people who can't afford a place to live
The People who's complaining needs to start Demanding solutions from these Leaders they vote into Office who's Aware of this Crisis and there are Obvious Solutions. Rent is too High. Do something about it
Here's an idea! Let's actually put the "corrections" into our corrections facilities! Instead of flat out detaining addicts as criminals and leaving rehab or drug court incentives to the order of a court to which said self destructive person's only consequence is a frivolous warrant, let's actually force drug courts. Let's establish real rehabilitation and distinguish between that of a criminal and that of an addict, like they have done so successfully in many other developed countries! This hasn't necessarily resulted in an end to addiction within those countries but has decreased its presence immensely which has decreased criminal population overall. They've closed down more buildings for prison than they have opened said rehab camps. The most measurable and referencable country I could refer to is the Netherlands for those wondering. It's the same idea that coined the phrase treat addiction like a disease rather than a crime which many have taken literally rather than figuratively. It really just means don't treat it like a crime. Nothing about the system is meant to move people into better conditions and every person whom spoke (including the mayor) is a perfect example of this; they want them to move but they will bring the same problems wherever they go in spokane. So they're not solving anything at all. Homelessness is much older of an issue than camp hope has existed and nothing was done by either the state or city with such haste, it's a pr war of whose going to be to blame. It's always been the city no ifs, ands, or buts about it. Not saying the states done any better tho. They're not on the ground making the decisions to yield the results they're demanding.
Decrimalize all drugs! Seriously no one should be a criminal for using drugs especially vets with PTSD, the war on drugs only exists today because puritans want minorities off the streets
make residential camping illegal
Why doesn't the city have a system for they're sewage? After 10 months.. but you'll gross out the neighbors.. and pay to puck it up.. and de real.. the cops along with the homeless into neighborhood not freeing up any law enforcement. Or city resources!
Nowadays street homeless and are fentanyl addicts, and not capable of doing anything no matter how simple it is. Street encampments are open air drugs markets brewing all sorts of crime. Majority of them will die from fentanyl overdose, or drugs related violence. Second hand fentanyl smoke can easily kill you in no time. Street homeless gradually destroy everything around themselves. We will never reduce street homelessness without reducing the amount of fentanyl drug available on our streets. If they can afford, they smoke fentanyl up to 100 times a day. That's how all these fires are started. Homeless advocates are mentally stuck in Pathological Altruism, and all they do is enabling fentanyl addicts remain as close as possible to their fentanyl source.
MANY FROM SEATTLE MOVE HERE BECAUSE THEY GET MORE SERVICES
In Orange county California they moved hundreds of homeless people off the Santa Ana River. And all the authorities really accomplished was to distribute homeless people all over Orange county. Instead of congregating on the Santa Ana River next to Angel stadium most of them now live on the sidewalks at major street intersections. Large numbers of homeless are living on the sidewalks around Disneyland and Knott's Berry farm. Some ended up in Huntington Beach by the pier. There are large numbers of homeless at the Newport transportation Center in Newport Beach. It doesn't do any good to just chase them around from one place to another telling the homeless, "well you don't have to leave but you can't stay here".
Stop giving them all them freebies & incentives.
That attracts outsiders
Spokane Sheriff's needs to do what the Sheriff's in Snohomish County did !
They made a plan to get homeless people off the streets.
They got the homeless people into treatment centers, even drove them their and after treatment they picked them up and drove them to their new homes.
City VOUCHERS paid for their rent for 6 Mos until they could find jobs to get back on their feet.
@@jilliebean343 in our town we have druggie deadbeats who don't want all that.
Instead they'll make kid forts behind the McDonald's that's close to the river
Watch my video I uploaded of the McDonald's
It’s about the funding
If they weren't druggies and if they picked up their trash this wouldn't happen 🤷♂️ but nope no sympathy for people like that..
THEIRS DRUG ADDICTS THAT LIVE HOUSES, APTS, CONDOS , FANACY PALACE.
THEIR ARE ALSO PEOPLE WHO LOST THEIR JOBS THRU NO FAULT OF THEIR OWN AND LOST THEIR HOMES. THESE ARE HUMAN --BEINS.
That's pretty rich, asking Seattle and Los Angeles for advice when their cities are an apocalyptic nightmare.
I challenge all local landscape and construction companies to offer equipment to clean it up I offer my 7k dump trailer a skid steer and a my back hoe , let's start cleaning this up since the adults have left the chat
Oh sure make sure the OFFICE'S have bathrooms forget the people!!!
Very simple solution. Round them up and force them into facilities. Provide mental health services and job counselling. When you've proven ready you're free to go. Don't want to participate? You stay put. Danger to society and can't be released. At any time they want to get help, provide it and get them ready to go. NONE of these feel good services have worked and only make the problem worse.
FEMA camp / concentration camp? Problem with that is they be rounding up people with different religious beliefs or political beliefs which we might not be that far off from that anyway.
The southern border and the huge amounts of fentanyl coming into the country this is what the problem is
Marc Hebert... just wait until we round you up...and your rare breed that thinks it's superior.
@@antarcticmoongiant2691 Nope. Not concentration camp. These people are obviously not able to exist in society. What do we do with people like that? Normally jail. This would not be jail but rehabilitation. The results of any other strategy is clear.
its a health concern.
Sending love and peaceful energy to everyone reading this comment.
Just remember this all started as a protest that y’all let carry out don’t pin this on the state
Why do we as tax payers need to invest in shelters and low income housing for people who are clearly not really concerned about doing the right thing? Why is the answer constantly, that, the people who are doing things correctly have to pay for those who don’t. I’m tired of paying for people to squat.
It would be cool if instead of these large shelters they were more like villagers filled with tiny homes. Who wants to have one hundred roommates in that large jail like building? Most people need their own space and privacy. Maybe even communal bathrooms if they are worried about cleanliness.
Party at camp dope tonight
Supply a temporary black and gray water dump facility pronto. The mayor is not stupid is she?
Furthermore, giving free food to people whom receive food stamps causes them to spend food stamps for drugs. You are making it worse not better.
These homeless people need to take charge of their own citizens responsibility they have all like all of the working people do programs money to help 🙄and still the campers won't leave
Give me the 25 million to buy some land and build dirt/sandbag aircrete dome homes for long term tenants to give them on site and off site jobs and then have a large pole barn with individual pod rooms for overnight short stays and make a productive member of society out of a once homeless community turned into a self sufficient society away from city limits where the homeless presence is seen and felt most until it creeps up into neighborhoods and starts camping out on all your blocks so use the money to pay and facilitate programs to establish their own permanent on site housing and job placement programs so they don’t return to the streets and become productive members of society. Don’t waste the money on one time bus tickets you smiled bout knowing it wouldn’t change anything just waste funds because you don’t care about the tax payers you represent and swore an oath to protect and serve not just your reputation but everyone’s safety and well-being like any caring person would for someone in need.
This is what you get when you enable homeless addict behavior. Neighbors need to sue the owner of the land!
WHERE IS ALL THE MILLIONS THAT SPOKANE WAS ALLOTTED TO HELP WITH THE HOMELESS? WHY IS KNOW ONE ASKING OUR MAYOR ABOUT THAT? THERE IS NOWAY THAT POOR EXCUSE FOR A SHELTER ON TRENT WAS MORE THAN $100 000. WHERES THE REST?
Dang camp dope I wonder where all the drugs coming from
What's being done to protect the neighbors who live there
the bus ticket should be back to there home town. But on the foot if we had a old ghost town with land to grow there own crops. And only the ones that had income coming in they could start there own town. There would have to be help but this way the whole burden would not be on spokane. Because what's going on now is not working.
I like the concept of relocating the homeless people to any abandoned ghost towns that have no one living there; and as long as the homeless people have some sorts of income they can live in those abandoned ghost towns; and they can grow their own foods; and the local utility companies can provide all the electricity they need!
they should have called it Hadley's hope as a reference to Aliens lmao.
actually it is already a reference! its a reference to the the hope for change in their lives and thats much more relevant, cheers!
They should call it Camp Fentanyl.
@@sirreginaldthegreat7010 well I went to jewels today to volunteer and I saw 0 drugs! Join us next time you'll see for yourself too!
Giving them housing will just make it worse
Camp hope? More like camp broke.- Paul
Might as well just call Spokane East Seattle at this point.
The irony of camp hopes location is not lost on me. What was, before the 1980s, the sight of row upon row of small bungalows. Torn down to make way for the imaginary north south corridor. But really just a way to grab valuable real estate from low to moderate income people. Yay progress. 😢
It's not city property? Why didn't the WADOT seal it off then?
This is sad. I just watched a report about housing workers stole between $100 grand to a million dollars of money for low income housing in Spokane then we wonder why there are so many homeless. I'm all for helping other countries but how about helping our people first it would take just one of the financial packaging that we send to Ukraine to stop homelessness here. Also all the hungry homeless kids suffering on this planet as is so let's cut abortion an force woman to have unwanted kids that will suffer their whole lifes its sad what we have become. Do better Merica..
GET RID OF THEM SO WE CAN FEEL SAFE FOR GODS SAKE
The only solution I heard was to build housing for these homeless. The same homeless the surrounding citizens were complaining about the partying, drug use and dumping human waste on the streets. Then in 10 years when this housing is ruined, then what? Ever heard of being educated beyond your intelligence?
Enable people?
It's not what you say
It's how you say it
How did the camp get so big ?? One of the problems is landlords raising rents so high that many long term tenants were rented out of their homes. Case in point a 50 year old woman had lived in her apartment for 12 years until her landlord raised her rent by $350 a month. She now has to live in her car. She rents a motel room a couple of times a week so she can shower and sleep in a bed. This woman works like some of the many homeless now. That Trent shelter is disgusting. It has bedbugs. The porta-potties have overflowed. When it got cold the water pipes froze. Just amess.
More like camp DOPE🤦🤦🤦
Turn the golf courses into homeless camps.
does spokane not even have enough beds to supposedly relocate these people?
It sounds as if many of them don't want to be relocated- they enjoy the lawlessness of places like Camp Hope
All of their tents and make shift shanty shacks will all fit perfectly in Central Washington. Lots of open space to relocate them.
Spokane: we don't want homeless here
Yet has an apartment complex full of level 3 sex offenders.
If we really want to deal with the homeless crisis. We need to stop shifting everything to a later date. we need to deal with these issues today.
We need to implement a program that begins by using Maslow's Hierarchy of Needs. the first step is Dealing with their physiological needs.
Air, Water, Food, Shelter, Sleep, Clothing.
The Shelter on Trent, does not satisfy these all of these needs, thus it is incapable of satisfying the foundation of Maslow's Hierarchy.

From what I researched sometimes drug addicts are trying to escape the pain rather mental or physical by starting with what you said we can help them
@@zackting622 the drug addicts that I have talked to, 95% of them do drugs because of a trauma from their childhood and recent past. It's a coping mechanism. A really poor mechanism and a really bad excuse. Everyone has bad childhood memories. Everyone has trials and tribulations. What do you do with those who don't want to be a productive member of society? What do you do with those who just want to take, and never give? If you choose not to give, they will just take it anyway. Do you put them in jail indefinitely?
Do you put them in a state mental facility?
If you just let them roam around freely, then they will upset everything around them when they take from others.
Why should those who don't follow societal rules, be allowed to take from those who follow the rules?
We should be asking what we can do to help not how we can push people somewhere else.
Batteries. Clean socks. Winter clothes. Laundry tokens. Hand sanitizer. Towels. Volunteer your skills. Haircuts. Flashlights. First aid essentials. Stamps. Sleeping mats. A genuine smile.
Help is all they get, which is why they live like this.
I know how to help. Take them job applications. I have to work to have a place, clean water, food, etc
They can work too.
Drugs crime and trash if thats what they were worried bout at least it was confined to one area in a manner of speaking.
The homeless call it sin city
Trent resource center is just camp hope with a roof..Woodward is delusional..
sounds like a democratic problem lol republican would give them a free bus rides to Nancy pelosi's house
There are empty beds at those shelters. That is where people get help. There are even some variety of shelters to choose from. People can't dismiss the shelters because they are not perfect. Getting help is a process. Many Camp Hope residents prefer the camp over the shelters. I suppose they have more freedom. The reason really does not matter. I respect a person's right to choose. But, if someone 'chooses' the camp over the shelter then I think society has done its part. No obligation to bear guilt. Clear the camp. Any talk about permanent free housing is simply not realistic and not a good idea.
Make it hard for them to camp out and they will move on.
How do you expect us to get jobs without proper shelter, hygiene, clothing, ID, social security card, or birth certificates? Experience homeless before making assumptions.
@@uglyhobo4602 Always have excuses and blame others for your problems. Sad
Only place safe
8:53 pm 08/09/2024... Everything you have come to believe is in correct.
It was planned, organized and orchestrated by this city officials themselves.
Yee, the governor, mayor, City counsel, City Police county sheriffs designed it for financial gain.
It was a Big Joke. The city placed where homeless could stop.
If one was to examine the time line of events with the changing of the laws and regulations, you will find that it was done in there mind successfully.
What they didn't expect was for the jail funding to not pass.
Now they are asking for funding for more police because they did not do what they were hired to do.
It is all documented through council records, mayor actions and the police calls that were ignored.
Complaints I have filled and will continue to file.
The homeless solution is there they just refuse to take the needed actions.
Nine of you have ANY IDEA.
NEWS REPORTERS refuse to tell the truth regarding the and why we have so much homeless in our country today.
Clear the camp and apologize later.
Well they have to live somewhere. Have them clean up their messes they don't clean it up then they are out. Treated like crap cause your homeless.
🙄😵💫😒 Bunch of b.s.
Not all of them are on drugs. Clean up their messes or get out.
I live in that neighborhood and have never seen the police do their job when crimes that Scooby Doo could solve happen, but give them the opportunity to push some homeless people around and suddenly they aren't "understaffed" and are ready to toss these people into a wood chipper.
Expensive solution: build with our money and watch nobody use the resources, then ask for more money. And then bus them to another city like a good, respectful human trafficking ring...
Easy solution: bring resources to the camp where they all are and help these people get back on track.
For once they aren't living under bridges and sleeping in doorways and could really be reached and put on the right path.
Or yea give em the boot and let's build some more California condos and just keep stepping over them.
These Sheriffs and politicians are just high-brow homeless begging for our money too and hate competition. This camp is no more of an eyesore than all the political campaign signs I see littering every corner in Spokane just the same. I guess it is all about perspective.
Let's face it, most of the haters are living in CDA, Nine Mile, and the south hill and just need something to complain about at work...
Amen!
The NPC have taken over Liberty Lake also...I moved to Eugene Oregon...and appreciate how the homeless have there respect still...they clean up the streets and recycle more than the any other social class or group .... in my opinion Spokane Washington has a fair amount of blood on its hands...
From hanging chief Qualchan in Hangman Valley ....to the massacre of all the Spokane Indians Horses in Liberty Lake. We will see who asking the questions, and doing the explaining in the end....it's crazy how a white cop thought he was privileged enough to stand on another humans neck until he took his breath...There is still a sick amount of racism and prejudice in Spokane Washington...
The local residents still believe in "Reefer madness " like black men raping white women because they smoke pot". I grew up in Spokane Washington for the last 37 years... the cops will literally kill you in this town...and there is absolutely no checks and balances...It's basically still the wild west...only the Indian and threat of freedom and independence has completely been lost...it's a town of white people who are going to pay for there past sins to the Red man and his Buffalo...not to mention the bones of those 700 in
Spokane Indian horses who's screams cannot be silenced by a cover up..Changing a valley from Hangman to Latah only exacerbates the situation.
You're thinking that they want help most of them don't they wake up to get high and do nothing then sleep and repeat.. They can't even pick up their needles or trash. You can't help people who don't want to be helped..
It's a democrat ran welfare state. The Washington Supreme Court told cops to not chase criminals anymore. You democrats are getting what you deserve. Offering all those free dies and non strict drug laws only brings the worst people into your cities. Lock up the junkies instead of releasing them
Snohomish County Sheriff's at least helped their homeless people to get into treatment centers and drove them their and picked them up and took them to their new home.
Voucher's from the City paid their rent for 6 months until they got jobs to get on their feet.
There are many reasons for people to be homeless from covid-19 and economic reasons to mental health reasons. As someone who has experienced the reasons on the mental health side I would like to say it is complicated especially when those people do not want to cooperate, or see anyone trying to help as the enemy to the voices they hear within. I am saddened by the situation and yet I understand the problems of those trying to help. It took 2 years to get my wife through the process of getting her helped. She was jailed two to three times before the Seattle mental health court gave her the ultimatum of getting therapy and medication or just staying in jail. I feel for all involved.
That wasn't a solution, only a band-aid.
The issue is housing. People shouldn't be forced to medicate or else. If the government would enforce affordable housing, it would greatly improve the outlook of everyone's life, liberty and their own pursuit of happiness.
@@jackmoves5552 It is not the governments job to baby sit a bunch of grown adults taking no responsibility for themselves and acting like children be it is allowed.
worrisome situation; there was already one tent with one person sitting in front of it on Ruby last week already. 6/7/2023
is homelessness and poverty spreading in spokane?
People should not have to worry about or fight for BASIC LIVING NEEDS PERIOD
The world owes no one anything. Grow up and take care of yourself lol.
Camp dope
If someone has been homeless for three years or more, you arent really trying. You are happy to set up a tent on the sidewalk forever.
Move that simple
Maybe this issa dumb idea?!.. aren't there alot of abandoned towns thru out US.. why not relocate people there. They could dismantle old buildings n rebuild small houses to occupy. Solar powered elect. Witch for water install above ground faucets develop water sources or those large plastic tanks/ barrels. I personally did this on my property also composting toilet. Whadya guys think.?Screen people no drugs ECT stupid idea or does it have merit...
Maybe a hurricane will blow through there and it'll all be gone, end of problem.
Don't worry it will start getting cold 🥶 next month or December then I'm assuming some will leave & I really think national guard could come in if they don't leave because Washington state DOT don't want to take responsibility getting sued by a bunch of criminals/drug addicts that are homeless because they choose that life style don't want rules laws when they go to shelters or government housing they can't quit drugs or they don't want help with mental health counseling
Wow. Because that is going so well for the thousands now homeless in florida because of Ian 👍 to wish for death and destruction
They don’t want to follow the rules just because they’re crackheads Metal patience. Just arrest them..!!
Go Ozzie!!
Why are you guys not just building a fence?????
They there for a reason they has no place 2go they got there because of GREED.
GET THE HOMELESS HELP !
People have lost jobs through no fault of their own, Rents need to be Lowered for poor people !
The City needs to make a Homeless Community Park for the Homeless !
CITY SHOULD BUY
used trailers and donate them to the homeless buy putting them into the park,
to help get people off the street's!
IT'S A NO BRAINER ! EASY SOLUTION !
The City should buy a piece of land and, donate used trailers to the Homeless !
Open a Community trailer park with septic dumping at every trailer site !
.
RENT IS INSANELY HIGH !
Rent's needs to be lowered, so low income people can afford housing !
Make a homeless community, Find a Big Lot !
Like camp hope and put travel trails into the lot, With Sewer Dumping at every site
Community Shower House, with Laundry Mat Inside ! Where people can take shower, a Community Garbage Dumpster !
EASY SOLUTION !
I'm sure the CITY OF SPOKANE !
can afford it !
Or they could do what the vast majority of citizens here do and get a job. Why should we all have to pay for addicts to live this way?
Solution make them pay rent for these encampments and keep it clean
camp trash*
Sherriff ozzy be like "CALIFORNIA. SUPER COOL TO THE HOMELESS"
If insleeze was a true state leader he would fix this.
Find a real God...and serve it...while you still think you have your free will
bulldozer fixes this disaster...time to stop enabling.
Let me know if your a tough guy and want to try to bulldoze me bitch
I'll bulldoze you for not having compassion in your heart...have you ever had a child die in your arms?
@@caseyknapton5128 I have compassion, but none here. They do nothing and expect everything. Invite them all to stay with you if you are such a compassionate person. Everyone is tired of this nonsense. Time to grow up and be a productive person in society.
I drive past this all the time on my way home from Lowes over on Sprague. Honestly, they're bothering literally no-one, and it's a lot cleaner and more well-organized than I've ever seen any homeless encampment before, and I'm from Long Island NY.
Okay just let it grow then, and Ignore the locals who have had to deal with thieves ever since the encampment was created. Hell, give them building rights in one cubic block with infinite upward space. Something like Kowloon Walled City.
F Off back to NY.
@@wastelandman198 let the locals move if they don't like it it'll open inventory for some of the homeless.
Pretty narrow minded approach there. Make the homeowners who pay taxes move? For a bunch of people that are a burden in the stystem? Your virtue signaling is insane.
@@Ski_3_p_o You're the one with a narrow mind, people like you think that just because they pay taxes, the whole world should revolve around you. Get off your high horse.
I think the City Of Spokane needs to find housing for these homeless people,.
Take care of their own people, which doesn't sending them elsewhere. Spokane can afford to take care of these people.
Suggestion that mobile shower and bath houses be provided so that part of health risk are confined and not spread over the streets
How many of us but by love GOD are close to become homeless ourselves
Satisfy the businesses and the few neighbors.. or send them into neighborhoods.. with children.. good idea 💡
Spokane should build a tiny house community for the homeless to stay in Spokane can afford it !
I am noticing people with CARS, CELL PHONES, BIKES ETC??? Can't these people get HOUSES, APARTMENTS?? Are these people waking up and GOING TO WORK AND SCHOOL?? Come on SPOKANE!!!!!!!!!
move to Texas vote republican & you'll be happy
