I still don't understand why the United States don't have assistance for unemployed people who is not able to collect unemployment, nor disability, nor can immediately begin a new job. The United States just lets their citizens go homeless and they don't care. I hope the best for this man.
posting no trespassing signs is the first step before getting a judge to order the removal and Demarcs the lines which enclose the property he is encroaching on.
F the permit departments. People should be allowed to live on 'public' property and build whatever shelter they can. It's a crime against humanity that we're all REQUIRED to spend thousands of dollars every year to pay into their real estate/taxation system. People should be allowed to live freely as long as they're not a burden on the system or anyone else's income. This man isn't bothering anybody, and he's not trespassing on private land. Leave him alone, let him live how he wants, on whatever his income and work ethic will support. I think every county should have public land set aside for people to build whatever to live in, with a public transportation stop, a water spigot, a dumpster, and porta potties provided. That would be much cheaper than the public paying for an apartment for people who don't want to work. And pay a wage to a 'camp boss' who would keep the place clean and orderly. The 'camp boss' could be a badass ex-con MFer who nobody wants to mess with. For $30k a year, hundreds/thousands of homeless could have a place like this and be off the streets.
@@hunterkautzer5831 I DO pay. I'm not homeless. We pay income tax, property tax, sales tax, fuel tax at the pump, all kinds of taxes. At our income level, it's quite a lot. I'm saying that our government shouldn't penalize people just for existing, if they're not using services, or using very little. Some people have mental issues or low IQ and can't make it in our complex society. For them, if they live frugally and own almost nothing, there should be a way for them to live that is not criminalized. If they live in a tent down by the river on public lands, leave them alone as long as they're not using anybody else's stuff and not being criminal. It shouldn't cost so much just to live.
No1, why is alcohol a problem, aside frm it's personal effects, if tht alcohol is being purchased and the State gets their tax??🤔, no 2 this man depends on n does not present any risk to property, civility, or the like, so y is it anyone's concern, no 3, many many politicians have visited similiar shack cities in just about every country that they have taken resources n money from and in all the 'were here to help democratize you're nation' they've never aided these nations in removing the 'eye-sores' or impediments to a right-of-way, or assisted to penalizing these shanty communities for 'building codes'....the main media is f.o.s.!

We need more people like the ones in the comments. Alot of people like myself, can't even afford, and are not willing to open their homes and rentals for free. Your problem is with corporate level decisions, laws suits, injuries and trash clean up. Open your homes if you are willing...clean up their areas, assist in their medical care. You have to find like minded people, that can help you. Many of us are not qualified to, nor do we have the disposable income to carry people outside of our families. When we do, other people find out. Those people, beat and rob us. When they are finished...we are left to medical bills, loss of property (because by law it now belongs to the squatter) and we ourselves lose the good elderly medical care we planned for.
Many people living in conditions like this fellow and/or on the street do so due to drug use, serious mental health issues, and lengthy criminal histories. They often refuse help offered due to balking at the rules they would have to abide by. I have no sympathy for such persons and wouldnt want them anywhere near my house and family, although I do admit there are some people who really are willing to walk the straight and narrow to get out of homelessness who do manage to fall through the cracks and thats a problem. How to tell what type a person is though?
if you are on public they need a court order to make you move or see you breaking the law on that land it is not against law to live on public or build a camp fire ordinances is not law city makes ordinances that do not make it a law the state you live in make law not the city
I lean in that direction too, and his way of living is not the path to getting there. I work hard, pay my bills, and can afford to have time to myself. If you put up some makeshift shack on someone else's land you are guaranteeing you will have people breathing down your neck in no time. Say what you like about it, but the way things are at the moment you have to be able to afford to be a hermit.
Freedom right? Let him live rent free on something he made, This country is so crazy, My people lived off the land until it was taken, let him do what he needs
I met him a few years ago. He worked at the local Menards with me for about 2 weeks. He liked to be named Johnny. I asked him about this event because it was about a year after he was evicted. He had no ill will against the police, and went back to couch-surfing and constant evictions after the event. He was fired because his drug test results came back positive for hard drugs; but we kept him for as long as we legally could because we were desperate for new hires because the store has a notoriously high turnover rate. All I remember was he was a pretty decent worker and did his job well, but we had that thought in the back of our head he wouldn’t last long because we knew he’d fail that drug test. He tried coming back the next day thinking he could retake the drug test as if it was my 7th grade algebra test. It was kind of hilarious.
This is what I don't understand so he was fired because of a thought in the back of your head that he wouldn't last long? My question is who is going to last long at a job like menards regardless of drug use? Wouldn't drug use help contribute to someone staying in such a low paying position longer?
@@Mushroom.Madness. That Menards had a notorious turnover rate- like the worst in the company; and we literally took anybody off the streets even if we knew they wouldn’t last long to cover things like summer projects or the holiday season. I think they knew Johnny was going to fail his drug test; and kept him for as long as they could before giving him the boot. Johnny didn’t do anything dangerous like drive a forklift. Mainly he did simple things like collect recycled cardboard.
Personally it shouldt matter what people take aslong as they can do the job in question let's face it up till mid 20th century everyone was on something all day long iver some drug or alcohol and we still managed to build pyramid the Eiffel tower the hover dame grate wall if China
How can I feel bad for someone who willfully fails? It’s his own fault and now he wants sympathy? Don’t do drugs. My husband and son are iron workers. They are subjected to random drug tests. if they fail, they get kicked off the job and out of the union. These are the consequences of your choices. He’s facing those consequences and wants sympathy? Nope
and ordinances is a civil matter not a criminal matter if they do not have a court order or a legal right to make you leave refuse to move they cannot throw you in jail
I get most laws and respect them but when it comes to the laws that prohibit people from living under a bridge or in the woods; that's just straight up bs. "Land of the Free" needs to be taken with a very fine grain of salt because in this country there is no such thing as free land and there should be so long as the person keeps it maintained and healthy. I feel bad for this guy but he kind of did it to himself by living so close to civilization; close enough to where it'd get him noticed by the wrong people.
@@Samroble1 Goes to show your a Muslim. And that tells me that your a senseless idiot who points fingers at the world after killing in the name of religion and destroying millions of womans lives ! I don't want a garbage like you in my comment. Please get lost.
To the people lamenting this man being kicked out of this "house"... if you lived nearby and this poorly and definitely not up to code shack caught fire and it spread to damage and/or destroy your house I have no doubt you would be singing a different tune. Yes we can do more for the homeless and yes housing prices are crazy right now, but at the same time building codes exist for a reason. It is sad that this fellow (having read some of the comments) cant get permanent housing but its his choice to continue to use illegal drugs and decisions have consequences.
"...not hurting anyone..." What if the house caught fire and the fire spread? What if he was selling drugs? "Not hurting anyone" is kind of presumptuous in this case.
We all fall on hard times. It a way of life. But that does not excuse that person from all the laws every other person has to follow. Take it down. He's delusional at this point
@@trevorfoss9783 You miss the point. A common mistake among the religious. The person you responded to was simply making the point that this fellow appears to be a few cards short of a full deck.
You heard what he said it’s a steppingstone if you kick that stone out then you can’t get ahead you’ll be more like that you both don’t have the right structures in place to support our homeless population state department of transportation needs to get their act together this is not gonna stop and it’s already starting here right here where I live. God bless those in need maybe you could start a health fund
You don’t know this could be you someday you should all do you like Dave Ramsey said put more emergency money back you don’t know you might not get another job
If you worked hard, bought a house on a nice plot of land, and someone simply built a makeshift shack on a corner of your land how would you feel about that? If you give them permission to stay then that comes with a certain amount of liability if/when they commit any crimes on your land, doesnt it? Still willing to give such a person permission to stay?
Charge him for trying to improve his quality of life? Send enough money to solve homelessness 8x over to Ukraine then throw homeless and disabled in jail? Wow if that’s where you want to be when Jesus comes back…
