We now know the federal government has the money to fix the problem but refuses
$20 billion per year is all it would take, we give away much more than that. democrats and republicans wont help fix this problem
"Billions for war, but not to feed the poor" tupac
Here's an idea, make housing and groceries affordable so people other than the rich can afford to live.
Meanwhile foreign countries get billions and billions of Dollars SMH.
Israel gets about 3 billion btw.
This is ridiculous…. They should punish who ever is responsible for raising the rents…. Because that’s why there is a lot of people living in the streets…. Because rents are extremely high no one can afford to rent a decent place anymore…every year they raise the rent 10% honestly I am worried to end up living in the street….for not being able to afford my rent because there’s no control over it…
Biden? He's not going to be punished.😂
Black rock
Public places are not campgrounds. They are places meant to be used and enjoyed by all.
Housing comes before leisure.
First come first serve
They're homeless! How do they expect them to pay fines? Our government has gone completely unhinged! Help them not punish them! God help them all!
While I think that tent cities do more harm than good and don't think people, homeless or otherwise, should be allowed to camp in places intended for the general use of the public, punishing the homeless is completely pointless. There is no rehabilitation or compensation of any kind for either side of the issue.
By 2040 there will be 80% of Americans homeless. 😅 Whom are they going to punish?
Every time they go into a store to buy that beer or when someone gives us money for a bag of chips we have to pay taxes like everyone else on those products. Any public domain belongs to the public if you cant house us,…don’t criminalize us for existing esp when the moneys there to solve it but it goes into the elites pockets
No sales tax in Oregon which is where this case came from. Try again.
@@jimmyjames6487 so I’m in California but since Oregon is the venue this article mentioned people living in vehicles and Oregon has a 40 cent tax on the gallon on gasoline am I right? The point is tax is for public welfare in all forms and public spaces are to be utilized by the public when needed or did they stop being American citizens as well? What do you mean try again? That’s the extent of your social feedback? Get rekt lol,…..
Get rid of 50 million dollar homes if you want to get rid of homelessness!
we clearly have a nationwide homeless problem we need to solve but we can't let our public spaces fill up with tents of the homeless either. gotta solve this problem at the root, because punishing homeless people isn't going to do anything except make it worse bc with a record they will have less chances of finding housing
And a job to afford the housing/food.
One thing I find annoying in the USA is, every little alphabet in a word has to be debated over and over. It's like trying to find a way out through the horn of an ox. So time wasting. Being homeless is not a crime of course, but trashing and creating fire and health hazards in the public space or near schools and libraries are obviously illegal. Being homeless and engaging in illegal acts are two different things. What don't people understand in America? Why does this even have to go to the Supreme Court?
The really ridiculous part of this is that homeless people are literally a market in America rn. The open air drug market in the dense urban centers worsening pushes homeowners in the area to move and sell their homes if able. Then the large housing companies buy the land and build crappy overpriced apartments and gentrify the area. There are also construction companies that offer 'encampment clearing'. The state governments will pay these companies large sums to forcible remove both the homeless camps and the homeless. Last year multiple state governments paid over 100 million dollars to clear homeless encampments. They literally are paying to move the homeless, but won't work on real solutions with that same money.
Homelessness, panhandling, poverty is just part of the scenery here in the United States 🇺🇸
Let them camp in rural and subrural just like during the 1800s. But camping in or outside a town doesn't make sense at all.
But the resources they need are either closest to or directly in the city. That's why they are there.
@@skbwolverine the resources they need are out in the rural too
@jason200912 I'm sure it probably depends on the city and/or state you live in, too. I used to work for DHS. Quite often, most of the resources (government offices that supply the services, city rescue mission, transportation vouchers, etc.) are closest to or in the downtown areas. But I also realize the size of the city matters as well. Larger cities have district offices that citizens are assigned to. But if you're homeless, you're most likely assigned to a location closer to downtown in my experience, at least.
Americans should be ashamed of our hardened hearts. If we treat our own this way, how are we any different from the countries we accuse of inhumanity? Our government is responsible for the condition of our citizenry and charity begins at home.
Lower rent.
This is pure evil if passed. Satan is at work heir.
Yeah let’s hurt helpless people instead of helping them .. I do not recognize this world anymore..
Cruel!
653,000 homeless persons and 15 million vacant homes in the usa absorbing value as a line item for an LLC or corporation...
Then give apt keys for free.
What else is new
" and the politicians throwing stones singing, "ashes, ashes, all fall down"

Yamiche Alcindor is really hurts my eyes and I’m blind 😂
The harsh reality about this problem is that it isn't going anywhere until the US housing stock is replenished. That's going to take time and effort beyond the capabilities of the federal government.
We need to bring down the price of beer and weed. Then they can think about housing. First things first.
The US is a failed society, it takes years to have a clean park? This doesn´t happen in eastern Europe.
"I see the ground is the symbol for the poor people; the poor people is gonna open up this whole world and swallow up the rich people, ’cause the rich people gonna be so fat, they gonna be so appetizing, you know what I’m saying, wealthy, appetizing. The poor gonna be so poor and hungry, you know what I’m saying?" TS
Homelessness is a systemic problem in America that has gotten increasingly worse over democratic and republican administrations alike, no one president started it, and no one President should shoulder complete responsibility and its consequences.
God made the earth!
If this is an allegedly “Christian” nation; then why not live up to the standards, principles, and expectations of Jesus!
Matt. 25:31-40 ““When the Son of Man comes in his glory, and all the angels with him, he will sit on his throne in heavenly glory. All the nations will be gathered before him, and he will separate the people one from another as a shepherd separates the sheep from the goats. He will put the sheep on his right and the goats on his left.
“Then the King will say to those on his right, ‘Come, you who are blessed by my Father; take your inheritance, the kingdom prepared for you since the creation of the world. For I was hungry and you gave me something to eat, I was thirsty and you gave me something to drink, “I was a stranger and you invited me in, I needed clothes and you clothed me, I was sick and you looked after me, I was in prison and you came to visit me.’
“Then the righteous will answer him, ‘Lord, when did we see you hungry and feed you, or thirsty and give you something to drink? When did we see you a stranger and invite you in, or needing clothes and clothe you? When did we see you sick or in prison and go to visit you?’
“The King will reply, ‘I tell you the truth, whatever you did for one of the least of these brothers of mine, you did for me.”
In city limits obviously outside who cares, if they don't harm nature
Can't imagine how anyone is homeless in bidens greatest economy ever
Yahhhhh🤡
What a tiny-minded comment, homelessness has been around long before Biden became president It was there when Trump, Obama and Bush Jr were president.
Tell it to the GOP. They're the ones that caused the problem.
cause trump really helped them, especially when he wanted to tighten regulations on EBT.
@@masterlink2319EBT is abused. I can tell you so are all government programs. The ones suffering are disabled , elderly. We don't get enough to live anywhere
‘
Ukraine and Israel Always Looking for a FREE hand out
.
But we can’t even fix our borders here and can’t help U.S Americans here
Tell it to the GOP.
I sleep outdoors on public land and or space. 70% of my state is public space or land. Soooo......
its not a crime to be homeless..Kitchener ontario Canada
its not a crime to be a sloppy drunk or a lousy parent. Not a crime to fail at school or drop out.
But none of them are desirable
WWJD
Probably take a few into his home. What have you done?
@@jimmyjames6487 What home ? He's dead.
Lead them to the river🇺🇸
Thats like asking what would aliens do 🤣 Never seen Jesus or aliens, so theres no way of knowing!
