    I love this, "it was A shopping center at one point". And now look! Instead of letting the building sit there to rot out, they utilized an old store, for housing the homeless. (Which is what I usually hear myself and other ppl say, when out on the town and see empty buildings.

      I think that is a better idea, especially for the safety of parents and their children.

      They're still getting a safe place to sleep from the elements, still including the idea of pet owners, disables, and couples.

    Give people privacy. At least dividers/ curtains between beds. You need to build Mico rooms.

    Warehousing the homeless. Waste of 4 million dollars. Separate units with just a little privacy would go a long way.

    It's good they serve food. Most shelters rely on the kindness of church and other groups to bring in meals every night of every year.

  • @tiffanyvang1085
    @tiffanyvang1085 3 года назад +4

    THe more expensive it is, the less they can build, the less homeless can get help. I guess we prefer a small piece for everyone rather than big pieces for a few.

    Where's the free drug rehabilitation centers? Where's the mental health housing? Because we don't have a homeless problem, we have an addiction and mental health crisis. Get with it ffs

    • @spiritualhumanist
      @spiritualhumanist 4 года назад +2

      Almost 90 % of homeless people in my town are people with mental problems, and they should be in mental institutions not on the streets. The rest are older people who lost their homes.

      @@rayd6905 Hi Ray. The first comment is about the relationship between mental health and the housing crises, the second comment adds an on-topic anecdote related to that subject. Your comment, on the other hand, is that of a confused child who can't follow along with the conversation. It seems that it is your comment which has 'nothing to do with it' and that it is in fact, you who are the dumb bitch.

    At least something is being done people question their tax money the way I look at it is I gotta pay my taxes either way so who cares at least this is well spent better then digging up roads for no reason. Human compassion is important and I love the fact that piece of my tax payment goes into something like this

    • @sean2015
      @sean2015 4 года назад +2

      Stories like these actually make me angry. That's because it's a decent-looking homeless shelter paid for by taxpayer money, but a lot of homeless people don't want to stay there simply because they're not willing to live by the rules which are "No alcohol, no drugs, must look for a job"

    • @aetheonpro396
      @aetheonpro396 3 года назад +1

      ​@@CaptchaNeon Killed?... no... men are more likely to be killed by men... Also, women are more likely to attack men than the pother way round because they can get away with it for being women... I myself have been openly abused by women and the police laughed at me and even threatened that if I hit her back, I would be arrested for abusing a woman. This also happens to my friends regularly because women know they can get away with it because for some reason, you aren't allowed to hit a woman in this culture regardless of what she does
      I mean, look at the media and how they are very comfortable with showing abusing men by slapping, hitting and even kicking them in the balls for comedic purposes. We all know for the most part, the media would never try that with women due to public out cry against it
      But that wasn't the issue... we don't talk about the problems men face but instead always nag them and call them toxic while ignoring men's problems... I mean most men aren't out there raping and murdering women... And this kind messaging has led to men be openly discriminated against by society.

    That is awesome! Anyone can become homeless in the blink of an eye. I know that if I won the mega millions which is highly unlikely I would definitely build a really nice long term transitional facility for those who are willing to try to make certain adjustments in their lives in the loving name of Jesus Christ.

    $4 million dollars to build this glorified jail? With no walls for privacy/safety/quiet. Imagine trying to sleep in a giant warehouse with hundreds of people, a lot of them with mental health issues. We have 18.6 million vacant homes in America, 3 times the number of homeless people. Why don't we give them actual homes and spend the money on mental health and substance abuse programs and getting them other help they need?
