- A new HUD report shows the country has reached a record level of homelessness. It is up 12% according to new data. Chicago Coalition for the Homeless Executive Director Doug Schenkelberg talks about some reasons it is up nationally and in Chicago.

3:37 create more Government???? To feed and house which homeless? How about creating jobs that create a LIVING WAGE instead of government handouts which create more jobs only for non-profits - how about we close our borders and quit inviting the entire 3rd world over for US to feed, house, educate, and medicate all for free !!!!
Vote out the blue bleeding hearts.
yes just give everyone everything for free, great strategy
No one should be homeless 😢💔🙏
the Cry is NOT for the people coming in she is evile to push that, too.
Tell that to the ass hole sending money to Ukraine instead of americans
Give me a free home. Pay my bills. I have been paying on a home my whole life.
@@johnweber6612 that’s how it should be. Nothing extravagant. Nothing luxurious. But you should be entitled to your own 500sqft.
@@johnweber6612 how it is now, you exist to enrich those who own your home; the banks, the landlords, the capital owners.
No wonder people have such a cynical outlook on life, no wonder people have no hope. Life isn’t about filling others pockets.
It’s pitiful, and atrocious, that we as a nation can help other countries, but not our own citizens, shame on these people who are elected and let Greed destroy our country, vote them out
Help other countries??? Do you mean Israel, Ukraine, and Taiwan? Because these are the only countries that US helps, and I wonder why?🤡🤡🤡👍👍👍💯💯💯💯🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
@@josegil7835because there's a kosher cabal in charge of the US
Worse than that. They are paid off to destroy this country. They aren't just neglecting, they are sabotaging.
You might want to look up the amount of money Chicago spends on homeless services. They are indeed "helping" these drug addicted degenerates.
Votes don't matter, they're rigging elections now.
Rent is insane. I witnessed a landlord charge $40 to apply with no promice of being chosen. This owner had appointments every 30 mins. He did not rent the house in two years that I saw. Why should he- the scam was brilliantly rewarding.
😮...I paid an application fee and never rented from the ppl
Me to I have been on the street over 10 years it's only pain

It’s well known landlords collect application fees to conduct background checks… only to never conduct the background check, pocket the money, and decline your application. Welcome to capitalism.
Around here they have "lists" of rentals that sell for 100 $ per list. Thing is they are already rented out as soon as the list is printed
A 2 bedroom apartment in my city was 850/ month in 2010. The same apartment is now 2300/ month. Please stop assuming folks are struggling because they're all dirt bag addicts who don't want to work. Many hard working, honest folks are struggling.
Then get a roommate or make more money. That’s what it costs. Instead of complaining, do something to overcome.

@mplslawnguy3389 wow.
@ladybohemia19 thank you for your observations and comment.
I have a bachelor's in mechanical engineering. I tutored mathematics up through multivariable calculus in school and graduated with honors. Unfortunately, I had zero luck finding a job, so I resorted to living in my car and became very depressed. After very nearly freezing in my sleep last winter, I decided to try starting my own business offering mobile automotive diagnostics and electrical repairs. Over the past summer, I did 100+ jobs, and was able to figure out/fix every single one. I've saved up thousands of dollars and have substantial income, but I don't have recent rental history or regular pay stubs, so I still can't get a place. I spoke to some kind of social worker person who initially said she could help me, but when she found out that I had been homeless for nearly a year, she changed her tune and said there was nothing she could do. At this point, I've accepted that I may very well spend the rest of my days alone in my car.
So sad that we have come to this. I know many purchase RVs and if there is steady income they can stay in decent locations. Not the "American Dream" but perhaps purchasing an RV or motorhome from a private seller would be an option?
We could buy a house for every homeless person or family with the money the federal government wastes and the interest on the debt.
Yeah that won't ever happen. They do not want you housed. They love ashes.
then pay off the debt.
Thanks Joe!
And where would they get the money for that?
But giving housing for Free isn’t a solution maybe a temporary housing is okay.
They simply don't pay enough at jobs these days. It makes more sense to live in a tent
That number is SO low! It's closer to 1.5 million.
I agree with you 💯
yeah i was like is that all? It's gotta be closer to 2 million
We don't need to give support to illegal immigrants to this country. This country IS NOT a Free Lunch. Those who came here legally or attained citizenship and not just a Green Card, have paid a price to be here. A price to which simple work and the payment of taxes cannot purchase
True number has to be many times higher. Minimum 3.5M

@@AskRemy I don't discuss politics, religion or finances.
@@GLITTERandSKULLZyou are discussing 2 out of 3 by stating you are homeless on social media. If you don't live in a Democrat run crap hole, there SHOULD be rescources available to help you. We have them in my town...but it's definitely not Democrat... You can't sleep on the streets where I live.
@@lorrie5881 I did not state my finances. There are different degrees of homeless and I'm not on the streets currently, thankfully. And no I don't live in a Democratic city, we have great resources but unfortunately they are overloaded and the waiting list for housing in minimum 2 years. Fortunately I do work, unfortunately its not even close to enough with the cost of everything so high. I know there are those who have it so much worse so I just appreciate where we are and know eventually I'll get us back on our feet.
Rent for a 1 bedroom apartment in SE Washington state is about $1800 a month. You have to have 3× the rent in income to qualify no one I know of makes $5400 a month. That would be $33.75 an hour. There is an uneducated opinion in these comments saying it's despicable living that causes homelessness. No, it's the abject poverty happening at an alarming rate that causes homelessness. I just hope the people who are so self righteous that you feel you can call out all the horrible people on the streets can keep up that $33.75 an hour.
how much is it to rent a room in someone's house?
I mean it might as well cost me 5cents to breathe at this rate. Can’t get Shelter, food, water unless you got a 100k a year job
Bullshit
Probably not 100k but more like 35,000. But don't plan on owning a house, paying car insurance, or eating out.
@@peskypeetThat depends on where you live. I'm in central Va and I make about 39k per year. I'm an independent contractor so i don't pay much in taxes. I rent a house and eat out a lot. I don't have a family to take care of though.
It makes me mad that the largest number of homeless are living in their vehicles and all we talk about are mostly drug addicts and mental cases living in tent cities.
Live from a car rn Facts 💚🙏🏿
Yes living in their cars and they are employed. Or the employed people couch surfing. They never talk about how having job isn’t enough anymore.

I get up every weekday very early go work for mine and I live in my car, i take showers at a local gym. I'm not a bum, I don't look like a bum or dress like one. You'd not know I'm homeless until you see me riding around to find a spot to park and sleep. Thank goodness for Wal-Marts huge parking lots.

That number sounds suspiciously low.
Typical MSM lies
People on SSI go homeless, the problem is the rich
The Housing Crisis of 2008 is being paid for by the people living on the sidewalk, not the crooks who caused it. The rents doubled to cover the investor's losses. It's that simple.
actually its the idiots who are paying 2k for an apartment or house rent..

@@lexstacks6944 You make a good point, but they’re not idiots. In many places you don’t have a choice unless you want to live with mommy and daddy or live on the street.
the housing "crisis" of 2008 was caused by Bill Clinton who forced banks to lend to unqualified borrowers. When they started walking out of their mortgage payments/stopped paying their debts.... voila'.....The current situation, in large part, was created by Biden and his assault on the American economy/endless spending. The inflation numbers and housing costs/housing market was fine until the "big guy" took over. These two "crises" are unrelated to one another other than liberal politicians/policies created them both........
You'll own nothing and you'll be happy - W.E.F. To those who still own property be prepared to defend it with your lives, as it is the only thing that will save you in the coming years.
Imminent domain !
What is W.E.F. ?
Good luck with that, you don't really OWN anything in this "system". They will just up the taxes until you can't afford it, then get a judge to give them a piece of paper that says your piece of paper isn't valid. Its all a sham. Say you go into a coma and aren't able to pay taxes on time. Do you think they'll just be nice and let you keep everything you worked your life away for? Of course not, repossessed like an unpaid car. Even with an arsenal they will have more than you becuase they literally have bottomless pockets. Might as well be like that recent video and just Nagasaki your own house when they do come for you.

Poverty, including homelessness or shelter insecurity, causes mental illness. Those who haven't experienced poverty as a child have no clue how damaging it is. Children forced to grow up in an insecure environment, surrounded by insecure family members who themselves may be suffering poverty related mental illness, including substance abuse (self treating for depression) simply cannot avoid becoming psychologically damaged like the rest of their family members. Childhood poverty is like a disease. The consequences are devastating....mental and physical illness, substance abuse, homelessness, crime, suicide, domestic violence, ......you name it, poverty causes it.
Broken homes causes poverty.
@@KtotheG poverty causes broken homes. Can’t have much of a family life if you aren’t able to live comfortably or your parent is working 40h a week just to get by. Money is the root of all evil.
As somebody who grew up, poor in a broken home, I can more or less confirm this. For myself, at least. There’s a part of me that really hates my parents for making me grow up in that environment. It’s not their fault. Both of my parents had a disability, and in America that means you deserve to be poor for some reason. my father also got in on the ground floor of the opioid epidemic, he had a pain management problem, and they decided to drug the fuck out of him on behalf of Purdue Pharma, so the Sackler family could make an extra dollar. I remember going into his room as a child, and seeing stacks of pill bottles, almost as tall as me.
Fuck capitalism
@@nickthompson1812 No, poverty does not cause broken homes... Personal choice does. Just because you have a rough patch does not mean it's wise for the woman to leave and take the kids. Now, she will be twice as poor as she was before. Stop trying to remove accountability from the single mothers' hands.
@@maxminton3693Amen. The system needs to change in several ways. Life shouldn't be like this.
It's b.s.
The numbers are cleverly figured to cut down the number of homeless.
There are probably 10 times as many homeless.
These nonprofits suck.
They are the biggest obstacle for homeless people to get help.
But if you work for non profit, you get a check and you have a roof over your head
😇
Yeah, there's definitely way more than what they are saying.
I think the migrants are a big part of it.@@daisyadele967
I took a road trip a few years ago and counted at least that many. A whole lot of folks living under the radar.....many in their old beat up cars or RVs stuck back together with duct tape. Saw one guy stitching the entire rear panel back on a trailer with tape. Saw a lady living in a tiny pickup truck with three dogs. She slept at night sitting up with the door open and one leg up over it so her dogs would have room inside. I don't think those folks even get counted. They don't like drawing attention to themselves and their plight, especially the pet owners who live in fear of losing their beloved fur babies to the authorities who constantly harass them .
@@ronaldturner4849You shouldn’t have 3 dogs when you can’t even take care of yourself. Same goes with kids.
@@mplslawnguy3389 everybody needs companionship. Nobody wants to go through life alone. Dogs don’t cost that much to feed, man.
They need help ! The rents just keep going up ! So what's plan B ? ?? I was homeless it's no fun.
All the money providing illegals HOUSING, medical & food should go to American homeless!!!
Tell that to Joe.

@kommisar. You are wrong!! No American who pays taxes should be homeless period no American military vet's should be homeless !!! Period !!! There's plenty of homeless taxpayer's now since covid. American taxpayer's deserve plenty we PAY for that privilege we the people never get......
Thanks Joe!
I think there are way more! Rent is atrocious! Average house costs over 300k in many areas while our pay and retirement is low or nonexistent! We have 5 star hotels for many young males from south America but not for our own veterans. Get rid of our government!
I'm a homeless veteran living in a RV. I have an income. I'm priced out of the market.
On behalf of my family thank you for your service. And I'm truly sorry that this country has failed you and so many other veterans. I pray that God guides you and provides for your needs. God bless you and yours. ❤🇺🇲
@@dg-zl1ctI'm pretty sure that this god character will give him plenty of nothing burgers.
And finally look what’s going on right here in the United States of America, just a different kind of a war, but it is a war
Our Capitalistic govt. only cares for the American lives that provide revenue. Basically be something or be forgotten. You get one felony you have no career and it’s extremely difficult to get promising work. Disabilities but they can’t file nor work. Millions of Americans are also just walking past trying to avoid eye contact, when they could help out a fellow American. I’ve heard many people talk crap about people with less fortunate situations, as if they lack a heart, soul, compassion, and empathy. Skeptical about shoes they will never walk a mile in. If you see someone sleeping/sitting on a sidewalk why not take the time to buy them a meal. (I’m not speaking for all of the homeless, just most of them)
The real reason why there's so much homelessness- is because local housing providers responsible for dispersement of HUDD funds(section 108 choice housing vouchers) get individuals signed up for HUDD resources then they are evicting them or never even housing them in the first place.... All the while still receiving the funds from government to house the homeless. It's known as larseny.
The real reason is because there is a portion of the population that simply refuses to live honest, responsible, productive lives and instead chooses to engage in degeneracy, drugs and nihilism. Homelessness is a symptom, not a root cause. Putting these people up in public housing would not make them into good people.
@@kommisar.well, well, there you have it “The Truth” thanks. I’m in Oregon, many, many homeless. I work at a local VA helping (trying) homeless vets, was one myself years ago. You are spot on, I have seen/helped many get housing, I’d say less than 10% are still there after a year. They just don’t want to put down the bottle, pipe or needle. Thing is, if they would do it in moderation and not destroy everything, well you know. Edit: had to come back and add this. Very frustrating to always see the commentary “the Veterans “ if the vet is honorably discharged, he is on the street of his own will. Actually the VA is now even helping many that have less than honorable. The only ones that get no help are dishonorable.
@@Cmon-Man What most people either don't get or refuse to acknowledge (I'm leaning toward the latter) is that being homeless isn't because you don't have enough money or things are too expensive. It's a symptom of you having some sort of problem with drugs, a mental condition you are not taking responsibility for and/or refusing to work. You can give each of these people a mansion, and they will trash/destroy their mansion like they do the immediate environment where they live on the streets. If you were to put all the homeless in mansions, then all the mansions and subsequently the neighborhoods in no time at all would look like skid row, and we know this because that's what they do NOW. They put some homeless people in a hotel in one of these liberal cities, and they did senseless nonsense like burning the carpet. The places stank of drugs and were messy.
The stark truth is that you just can't help anyone who doesn't want to be helped, and 99% of these people do not want help, which is why they invariably stay unemployed and homeless for either a very long time or for the rest of their lives. If these people were truly good, honest people who wanted help and wanted to better themselves, then with all the free help available to them they would be of the streets in no time. Within a matter of months they would be gainfully employed and living on their own. Instead, what we find over and over again is that we give them a free place to live along with all sorts of other freebies (medical care, food, clothes, etc.) and they just destroy that place and wind up back out on the streets, like a broken record. That's because they CHOOSE to be this way. It has nothing to do with the cost of living.
@@Cmon-Man the housing first initiatives - from Biden administration - makes note that local housing providers are to house persons then offer addiction services. NOT to make soberiety stipulatory of services. And only a true douche canoe would blame the homeless individuals for the failure of trickle down economics. That failed with Reagan and still fails today.

Cannot get into apts easy. But when you do its abusive. No protection. No one will stop the robbing and attacking. Gangs if older people live in these buildings. Nobody cares. Just moved into a cheap private apt. Was happy. Now the attacking and robbing is starting with new younger neighbors. Nobody will help.

thank you for saying the real reason for being homeless. people cant afford private rent!
We can blame "progress" for the homeless. Greedy corporations destroying low-income communities to build for bigger profit.
ABSOLUTELY.
There is the costs of housing. Then the attacks and harassment of people experiencing difficulties that make it nearly impossible to dig out of the mess. Absolute disgust.
Those numbers are largely incorrect and the numbers are actually higher. Not to mention the millions of families who are one or a couple of emergencies from the poor house or homelessness.

Let’s be honest folks. Even if we had the money to do it, those with the money wouldn’t spend it to help people. If we actually wanted to help people as a country, we would. The problem is that helping people isn’t in line with our country’s ideology. It just isn’t. It’s not American to help those in need. It’s not American to support infrastructure or build people up. To be appalled when things that suck are status quo is nothing short of irony. It’s the same reason I’m not shocked when people take their frustrations out in violent outbursts - it’s how Americans have learned to cope with how absolutely terrible our national sense of humanity is. It’s a toxic culture breeding toxic behavior. 🤷♂️
America spends tons on "helping" people and infrastructure. Currently half the population is on some form of government assistance. You're lying through your teeth here.
The government doesn't help, it harms.
This is such a hyperbolic absurdity.
The problem is the exact OPPOSITE.
Phony virtue signaling criminals who have spent decades upon decades maintaining their lucrative political and activist careers pretending to care about the downtrodden and the poor,
Use their unconstitutional power within Govt to forcibly redistribute i.e
STEAL money and resources from us working and middle-class Americans.
They pocket and launder 80% of it to enrich themselves while using the remaining 20% to bribe their criminal voter base.
Further, they have MALICIOUSLY introduced toxic, catastrophically degenerate destructive "progressive" social ideological movements,
introduced legislative and economic disasters
which were always fully intended from day #1 to permanently destabilize, disenfranchise, and economically sabotage working and middle class families forever, so they, our phony elitist satanic overlords could permanently secure for themselves their places at the very top of the pyramid within our rigged system.
In spite of all of this, the mind blowing part is: nearly 50% of you will see all the lies, the theft, the rapid decline of our civilization, the pervasive feelings of unease and danger, the spiritual corruption almost suffocating us all like a thick blanket on behalf of CORRUPT Politicians and the rest of the establishment
....but yall *INSIST* that somehow the solution is voting for MORE Govt, and not less.

Yall will SCREAM, SHOUT, SPIT AT us, physically assault and behave like deranged Jonestown cult members,
if we vocalize that we aren't voting for Democrat/Rinos anymore.
WE ARE TIRED of having our labor taxed to hell, our liberty stolen from us, our rights increasingly infringed upon,
our private property rights all but stolen from beneath our feet with increasing property taxes we never voted for.
WE CANT EVEN ASK FOR A SECURE AND SAFE BORDER without yall doing everything humanly possible to destroy and sabotage it. EVERYTHING Trump tried to accomplish on behalf of us working and middle class. yall fought us the entire way and ruined.

while also denying us the right to any input on how or what that$$ is spent on.

CLOSE THE DAMN BORDERS
TAX REVOLT, NOW!!
I've been out on the streets homeless before and there are some exceptions but probably 85 percent of people that were homeless were also drug addicts. Not all but a lot of them also had family that were willing to help them based on certain conditions, mostly in relation to there drug problems but they would rather stay homeless. Also there were always people and small church ministries that would do the best they could with the resources they had to help them. A lot of good hearted people in this country that try to help we just let media feed us all the negative though, that's not good, it will divide us and cause us to demonize eachother without ever even having a conversation. Not saying there is not bad or evil out there but there is way more good out there then people want us to believe for some reason. As for homeless problem that's not something government should just throw a bunch of money to people for, they ll just spend it on drugs and take advantage of free shelter, not all but a lot. Homelessness is more a mental or lack of education problem. It's also a lack of good parents or people being raised with no parents at all. So no self discipline. Anyways though I know some people think we just need to get all these Rich people's money thru taxes and then use that to shelter and feed them less fortunate but I've lived in the streets and experienced the culture, doing that might actually make things worse.
@@raymondvaldez8296I wouldn't say it's 85%. I think it's a mix of drug addicts, mentally ill, poor people and battered/broken people. The addicts are a significant number, but I don't think 85%. Many people become addicts to cope with being homeless.
In Chicago 23 degrees right now! Bet they have warm tents? Bet they have warm food? Bet they have warm clothes? Bet their in BEST health? Bet everyone cares? Bet theirs NO crime? Bet their safe? Bet they have a great attitude? Bet if you believe any of this? You need help!
Very sad news. That's just awful.
I don't know why they keep having homeless advocates on as "experts" on both the subject and solutions. These people are financially incentivized to PERPETUATE homelessness, not solve it. Their livelihood would go away if it were solved.
They don't perpetuate it and there is no way to solve homelessness, just like there is no way to solve violence. People are going to do what they want to do. The best thing we can do is present opportunities. It's up to the individuals to take it.

@@TheCastedone They don't have zero homelessness, though. Many people prefer to be homeless, because it's liberating to a certain degree. I've been homeless before and I've talked to those people.. You're not paying any taxes or bills, you're living off the grid basically, you're being one with nature. For many people, it's an appealing life to live. They reject the confines and trappings of society.
And if you are a legal citizen or a veteran our current government doesnt gaf
I sawthis coming back in the "80s. When they closed down all the mental health institutions becausŕ it was argued that people were being held against their will. No one ever ask or argued the question-- where do these people go and do once their support systems is yanked away from them.???
Wait, I thought Chicago was a sanctuary city? There shouldn't be a single homeless person in Chicago.
When some warned about this over a year ago and urged the continuation of the P-EBT funding and eviction moratorium, many on one particular side of the aisle were budget hawks but look at the blank check they rush to fork over to Israel.
We all know who created this mess..Thanks Joe!
"Over 1,000 NYC parks workers expected to lose their jobs due to budget cuts" - CBS New York
Dear Chicagoans, expect the same. NYC cuts all city services because lack of money for housing migrants.
That number is higher. But we will never reveal our selves. Especially to you government vaccinators.
In the end, everything comes down to greed. Homelessness is profitable, and people are greedy. The people that are supposed to be helping the less fortunate, our greedy criminals. Those jobs are never filled by good people.
In the end, it comoes to America not being a socialist counrty. If you want certain things in life you have to work for them.
Wondering how many homeless people are in Ukraine since we sent them all that money 💵
"The cost of housing is driving this"
Sure, its a factor, buy my rent/ housing costs have remain fixed (somehow) over the past 3 years, my salary has doubled and im still am scraping by.
Its not only the price of housing, its also the price of everything else.
No, it's the fact that these people refuse to work and would rather get high all day.
The numbers are WAY higher than that. It’s definitely in the millions!
Thank you Captain Obvious!
Maybe we should ask what needs to be done.
That’s sad and yeah this years holidays sucks a little it doesn’t feel the same the rising prices is crazy
This is the result of greedy landlords and lack of affordable housing
We should be embarrassed as a country. In America no one should be living on the street in the richest country in the world. This pisses me off more than the drug war. We have the money to fix this. Shelters are horseshit. Another money grab. Housing first.
simplified, coherent answer of how to invest:
"they'll sell when there isn't enough buying to maintain confidence of the high price, they'll sell even more if there isn't enough buying to maintain the lower price (depending on persistence of buying consistency according to figurable persistence of buying consistency and the difference of it according to confidently buying when it was sustained originally,) they'll buy when they stop selling (and sometimes they'll buy when they concurred the low price based on the price and what is figured as not selling too much, depending on persistence of buying consistency) and they'll buy even more if they don't sell (after they bought.)"
making something is better than not making anything which is better than losing money like being crazy.
and we are putting up illegal immigrants in fancy hotels with gourmet meals in NYC....plenty of tax breaks for corporations...
Taxing the crap out of us to provide free housing isn't the solution. We need a government that spends money responsibly and keeps us out of foreign wars. Those two simple steps will enable us to fix the housing problem.
Because all the money is going to unnecessary wars and overwhelming taxes and rent
What are you talking about man you must take care of your citizens and the people that's been here fighting the struggle first Boo this man 😞
With all the illegal immigrants it's more like 5 million
Because America wants to help other counties and not their own people. Thats why its so bad . I just don't understand why the law makers don't take care of this problem.
This can't possibly be with Bidens build back better. Vote Biden, maybe we can double that homeless number. Democrats can then really be proud.
They should pass a law that anyone that protests 🪧 about homelessness. Have to adopt at least 3 homeless people and take them into their homes
That won't solve homelessness, you baboon. We need actual reform, rent control, and affordable housin initiatives. No ones gonna end homelessness by taking them and shoving them in random people's houses, you absolute apes.
You are WRONG sir, those people had homes, in their own countries. We are not obligated to provide them “permanent” anything.
Solution is that everyone should stop paying mortgage or rent.
There's actually a lot we could accomplish if we all acted together. The govt can't throw us all in jail, they need the taxpayers.
A bag half empty of potato chips costs six bucks,is it any wonder common people are suffering?
Your numbers are off there's way more , all this money that is supposed to be given to these places to help are lining thier own pockets and giving help to no one , homeless shelters aren't free to stay in they make you pay to be there when we had to go last year the most dehumanizing thing I've ever experienced is realizing it's not even free to be homeless WAKE UP PEOPLE
Many grandparents who end up raising their grandchildren and have gone back to work at minimum wage jobs and helping you at your family dollar store or gas station may be living in a tent by the river in Nashville, TN. People see someone working and assume they have a home . Car payments , clothes and children’s activities and
needs don’t leave any money left for exorbitant rent. Where I live , only 2% of housing in my county is available for rent and the prices aren’t affordable . Most of our businesses - gas stations , cafes and such are short handed or have shortened hours are or even closed because the employees live 45-1 + hours away from their low paying job. $7.25 minimum wage while 1 person needs to earn over $85k to cover living expenses . All the affordable and low rent housing has been bulldozed and gentrified in the last 5-1o years . Maddening and disgusting here in one of the epicenters of evangelicals and Christian’s : More churches per square mile than any other place on the planet and many of the people that fill 0:47 those churches take no heed of decency outside of the church walls.
So many Americans are living in " Survival Mode"...and im just talking about single people like me and families who are working...smdh 😢
A great deal of the current homelessness problem is due to corporations buying up single family houses and then reselling them at much higher prices than they bought them, or renting them at much higher rates than they would have rented at formerly. The lack of affordable housing drives more people out of housing and onto the streets. This reporter is horrible. She is a one trick pony, and her only trick seemed to be blaming migrants for the homelessness problem. Like we didn't already have the problem, too. However, Corporate Greed - something I do not think this reporter is capable of acknowledging - is to blame for a great deal of problems people are suffering economically right now. Many people that are currently homeless even have jobs, they are making money, but they can't keep up with Greed-flation. Corporate profits are off the charts right now, and they still keep raising prices and squeezing the average consumer. That's corporations, not the government, not the migrants. I was glad to see the man she interviewed was someone who believed that EVERYONE deserves shelter, which was clearly not something this reporter believes. Shameful.
How can people save for a down-payment to buy a house when they can barely afford to pay their sky high rents.
Bullshit, a great deal of the current homelessness problem is due to addicts being enabled by blue city governments giving them handouts and allowing them to sleep on their streets and get by without having a job.
@@CL-lo3xr Sorry, I can't solve your problem, but I did give you a major reason for it - Corporations buying up houses and jacking up costs to buy as well as to rent. More laws and regulations against such abusive practices might help to restrict and reduce such behavior, but it seems people only want government involved in their reading choices and sex lives, not to actually protect the public from predatory corporations . . .
@@CarolinaCarolina-ph9mxYeah no. It's just as much state governments' fault. My property taxes are 2.5x's higher than the national average. Got nothing to do with corporations. Furthermore, the vast majority of houses aren't corporate owned.
@@blackhawk2302 property taxes rise with asset values; asset values rise when available supply goes down and demand stays the same - like when corporations buy up the supply to rent it out at exorbitant prices or sit on it for resell value.
Try to keep up, man. Money runs the world.
Living wage and affordable housing
There are enough vacant houses in america to give every homeless person at least 3. The answer is simple, modern homesteading. Let them move into one of the vacant homes and as long as they continue to improve or at least maintain then they get to keep them
To be honest as free market conservative who believes in being practical.. THAT IDEA HAS ALOT OF MERIT.. sort of a mini reset .. The Fed would pay the owner for the property and than it becomes part of a pool for eligible candidates .. which might temporarily upset some markets but if successful be a meaningful enough solution to be worth it.. and you could do it so that after 5 year's your on your own again.. no special rules no special expectations ..So the middle class might not even notice.. raise more people than sinking every one
If it's a so called "fixer upper", forget it. Those are money pits. If you're homeless because you're broke you wouldn't qualify to fix up an old money pit. Wasn't it Tom Hanks that starred in a movie by that title? Very funny, but in a most disturbing way.
@@cameronidk2 So, as a "free market conservative", you think the federal government paying property owners rent for homeless people to move into their vacant properties is "being practical" and "has [sic] alot of merit"??? You might as well call yourself a communist libertarian. That idea is stupid for a variety for reasons.
-We already do that, and it's called public housing. If public housing were the answer, the problem would be getting better, not worse.
-The problem with public housing is it is INHERENTLY laden with bloated costs and poor maintenance. They cost far more than similar homes in the private market, and become ghetto cesspits full of crime, gangs and drugs.
-In order for these people to move into these vacant properties, they would have to come up to code and become livable. That means even more money. Imagine the government paying for renovating all these properties. Ridiculous.
-These homeless bums would destroy all these properties, just like they destroy their current environments. Seriously, look at a homeless encampment. Does it look well maintained? They are DISGUSTING.
So, no, it's a very stupid idea that has NO merit or practicality. You are dumb for even entertaining that stupid notion. The OP is just another bleeding heart SJW who has never gotten one single person out of poverty or off the streets in his life. He is simply virtue signaling by suggesting OTHER people pay for his pipe dream.
And why should we have to spend all that money to give people who don't care to work, produce or help a place to live that they will inevitably, just as they always do, trash it? We already have public housing, and it has shown to be a terrible solution, so it would be even worse if we were to go around renovating other people's private property and let them move in and destroy those areas too. Imagine the abandoned house in your neighborhood turning into a homeless encampment. Stupid idea, man. You definitely live up to your name.
@@kommisar. its a valid point .. it's problem free things end up to be shit more often then ends up to be golden..
We as US always go fight against other countries and states help
provide Aid. Our own veterans,
Family, children, teens need housing in US states come on.
Really!!?
The guy who lead this study is the renowned statistician Captain Obvious
You do know that living in a car ,is homeless. An these people are stealthy, an blend into society, an are not counted
The few and the proud and the homeless Americans..
Oh, think twice, 'cause it's another day for you and me in paradise
Oh, think twice, 'cause it's another day for you
You and me in paradise
But the economy is doing better than ever, no?
That’s what CNN says.
ITS NOT CHANGING FAST ENOUGH
Sad and also feel like it’s way more . There’s no way they have done on foot counting in every city . I feel bad for them every winter tho
I'm a homeowner and I don't see how people can afford one these days.
If you're making house payments, then it's not yours yet, technically.
@@NTWJVIP paid off
That's definitely a better way.
Actually, unless we control greed as a species we’re all going to be homeless, but I guess people only care about the present.😂😂😂
this should not be allowed, get ppl off the streets!
The states need to come up with money to help people. The states are part of the problem
Send money to other countries let illegals in but let people who need the money live in the streets. Sick
Every single homeless program has the money to solve the problem but if they used all the funds they d be out of business ! Homelessness now is big business ( scam) just like poor people make the world go round it costs a lot to be poor....
Ignorant
I just farted and it made my bed springs rattle with a funny sound 😮
Ofcourse it's at an all time high, these MF-ing land lords have increased at a ridulous rate!
When there's no entity that will stop them, of course they will.
Allowing corporate management companies free reign, and allowing them to buy up all the properties for rentals is the biggest problem of all.
I know plenty of landlords who DON'T raise the rents to ridiculous levels. What they created is tenants who will never move out of their house, condos, etc, and that makes them very happy.
I told one that I want to be his renter, he says nobody has defaulted on their rent with him in 10 years, and until that happens he's got nothing open.
He has a home in a very desirable area, (among at least 7 others too), but this one for example: 3bd, 2ba, with gardening service, paid cable, and the tenants do not have to cover $1 of any repair like some places do, (like where I live, any repair under $100 I have to cover, even if it's nothing to do with me causing it, and he pays the HOA dues! Wanna know what he rents that house for? $1150! He's raised the rent $100 in five years!
He says it's just the right to be a good landlord. He's still making his little profit, has no money worries, and isn't interested in gouging people to add to his several million dollar portfolio.
Now there's a person to smile about. And he's only ONE of the dozens I know.
Crooked is out there, but so is good.
Supply and Demand.
B.S. It is more than that. 3/4 Of a million and up. Now add and count the illegal folks. Nation wide. My 2 bedroom APT. in Bay area of Pleasant Hill CA. JUST WENT UP ANOTHER $100 . It Is now $2170.00 month. These Apts. Were built in the 1970. Are quite old. My income went up $47.00. To $1548.00 For 2024 .. I rec. A qovernment subsidy for rent. Or I would be homeless again. I am disabled and 72.
Make the world homeless then what else do you expect 😮
Just think if they gave the homeless in the US, the 200 billion allocated for Ukraine
We mean nothing to our government
