It’s not all drug addicts. After they closed the psychiatric hospitals the people suffering from mental illness had no where to go. I used to see a homeless girl in my neighborhood walking around talking to invisible people. It’s sad and yes a lot of them are dirt bags but some of them deserve compassion
the 2 more often than not go hand in hand. a lot of the crazies are actually crazy because they have fried their brains. drug induced schizophrenia is a real thing.
Nope. It was the same with the border crisis. When the government stepped in to put the migrants up in hotels to ease the overcrowding situation in the detenion facilities it end up costing tax payers $3k per person, per night! They couldn't of just handed them $65 and directions to the nearest Motel 6????
This lady is full of crap. Yes Austin is a smaller city than LA. But the scale of homeless people in LA is off the charts in comparison. If you’ve been to LA, there’s no way you could confuse the two. LA metro. is 8 times the size of Austin metro. But they have 20 times as many homeless.
High salaries to manage the homeless create a perverse incentive to never really correct the problem...so you can keep getting paid high salaries to manage the homeless problem.
Kind of like the prison industrial complex, qualified immunity, the military industrial complex, healthcare and big pharma or congress and lobbyists? People only care about the wasted money when it's for the poor and homeless. never when it makes the rich richer.

I used to work at a homeless shelter in Los Angeles and let me tell you , housing will not solve anything, we've had clients straight out leave and rather sleep out side because they rather do drugs and sleep outside then follow rules and sleep in a bed. What they need in more mental health resources but yall not ready for that convo...🤷🏻♀️
You are correct^ I was listening to Tim Dillon speak with Yannis Papas (who used to work in social work)…. said the same thing you just did -> that homeless ppl would literally bring junk into their apartments from the street OR just disappear and live on the streets for 2 weeks and then ‘come back’ to the house for a day or two before going back under the bridge
I work for a mental health org. Part of what we do is find housing and services for homeless. It's a revolving door; Find them an apartment, get it furnished, hook them up with medical services, EBT, etc, etc. A couple months in they trashed the place, sold the appliances, invite their fellow addicts in to party. They get evicted and it starts all over again. Not easy to find landlords who want that shit anymore.

When I lived in LA, it never ceased to amaze me how the hipsters are totally oblivious to how terrible LA is. One time I started working with a client who had just moved into a fancy loft in a rennovated building Downtown. I visited them at their expensive apartment and parked in what looked like a third world country for a parking spot, with dirty, broken pavement and potholes filled with luminescent green water. Then I stepped over homeless people leaning up against the building. And then I stepped over a big turd on the sidewalk before finally reaching the front door. The loft sure was nice, though. Not long after that, I was on a crew unloading a truck in a alley, also Downtown, which was filled with tons of turds, and I told the others "don't wheel those cases through dog turds," and one of them replied "those aren't dog turds." This was adjacent to another renovated building with fancy apartments with their windows and patios overlooking this disgusting alley.
Wow that's actually eye opening. I always thought there was no money going towards the homeless problem. It all makes sense now. The homeless problem won't end because people don't want their 6 figure checks to end.
Just like the mass encarceration industry and the war on drugs. It's all a business to employ the elite so that they can make sure that Feudalism in the 21st century is a reality.
Old Joe would have invited a homeless person to talk about how they live and what issues they have. New Joe invites some blonde to complain about how annoying the homeless are to look at.
The old rogan was trying to build up an audience ,The new rogan is a millionaire 100 time over so he could care less about what a home person thinks he just wants then out his sight
my cousin was explaining that he can't afford a 1 bedroom studio despite making 20 bucks an hour. Because you need to prove 3x the rent to get approved. Then it starts making sense why people are living outdoors. When you are charging 1600 a month (x3) for 450 square feet

Austin is so gross with the homeless. I’m literally uncomfortable sitting in my car at most red lights. I have a heart and I feel bad for how I try not to make eye contact. It’s just out of control they are everywhere
Try not to be uncomfortable and just be friendly. I've been going around Dallas offering water bottles, food and someone to talk to for the homeless. So far, no takers. They're not so helpless as you think.
I had this problem in Florida. We used to throw Mcdonalds drinks at them as we drove by. Most would have to move elsewhere after they cleaned up. I honestly think we helped get rid of them. It was common knowledge to hassle them. No reason to put up with that . It ruins you community, home value, etc..
It's interesting to think that a person who might be employed and function as a working adult and contribute to the economy, could still have the reality of having a nonliving structure to live from out of in L.A. My statement based off of the cost of living and the number of affordable structures that could house a single person , that meet "Code" and are run by fair and decent management or city personnel.
Yea but his solution of just tell them no camping is delusional. You tell them no camping and they just move a few blocks down then circle back. You arrest them and your tax dollars pay for them to stay until they are released and the cycle repeats
@ mostly? Well could be a fact, but then again are we now implying that felon's are the majority and can't be placed anywhere Or is it that to gain a felon charge is quite simple In the grand scheme of laws and judicial sentences. It's not surprising that most people who have a prior conviction of a felony are very aware of the separation of meaningful employment and being rejected when applying for said employment. But I'm guessing that the majority of homeless have been dealt a shitty, real bad hand in the beginning of their lives. Foster parents dew to the inability of their biological parents or young mother. On and on the basic truth is the population growth has been and continues to produce more of the products of environment.

Ex service men 50.% and people with mental illness.. joes solution remove their tents. Spoken like a true millionaire who invites the C I A on regularly to talk on his show. What a idiot
that's the cool thing about having a PhD in Homelessness Studies, everyone you talk to by definition is less educated than you on the subject. if anyone says the $200k on you isn't well spent, you just point out who holds the doctorate, then cite a long complex set of theories and statistics, and ask them to pinpoint the flaw in your approach. Theory says that you are right, according to other PhDs.
The only people who can "fix" it are the people themselves. You can't change anyone against their will and, believe me, having working in the homeless housing field, very few have any interest in changing anything. Staying fucked up is their life's ambition.
@@duffal0 yeah, I live here but they didn't until 6 to 9 months ago, and then suddenly almost overnight the overpasses that had all been pristine were all hosting tents.
Doctors, lawyers, investors, oil companies, and homelessness managers should get paid based on how they decrease the problems, not increase the markets by CREATING more needy consumers (including homeless' need for gov consumption because death is the only alternative to inability to attain/hold shitty and hated jobs).
I passed by a field a few years ago in Louisiana that was a graveyard of Fema campers from Katrina. Grass never cut and just rotting. At least sell the campers instead of letting them rot.
If a private company wanted to buy them, they would have offered. You want the government to start soliciting while there is the fear of being sued and having a "politically bad" spot light? The system is working just the way the rich feel comfortable with it.
When you pay people massive six figure salaries to fix an issue like homelessness you’re not incentivizing them to fix it, you’re incentivizing bandaid solutions. Solutions that never truly fix the problem. If they solve homelessness, then they’re no longer needed to solve the problem. Bye bye massive six figure salary.
I try to always put myself in other people's shoes. Imagine being one of these six figure salaried homeless busters. Like do they realize they're paid ridiculously high for not solving an issue that's only getting worse? Maybe that floats around in the back of their minds and haunts them when they take too many shrooms. What's probably going on is these are affluent, college educated, liberals. They've been taught in these elite university settings, they give a lot of weight to the theory behind social science, they're intellectuals, and they're really really trying to be good, empathetic leaders. They think they know what's best for poor, homeless people. They think they deserve all that money and it's justified. They think they'd have a truly massive impact on homelessness if only the greedy corporations and the crooked politicians pulling the strings. They're just in these elite, social worker, liberal, intellectual bubbles. Also, I'm sure there are some real assholes who know they're making the big bucks to ineffectively address the homeless issue, but I 'd say most of these people really do have a version of reality where they're just good guys, working hard to fight against homelessness. Their biggest critics, conversely, have their own versions of reality where these overpaid social workers are nothing but anchors and leeches on society. A more true reality is probably somewhere in between.

I met a ex-homeless woman in Austin who hated the other homeless. She had 2 kids and became homeless for 6 months, but had a local church who helped her get back on her feet and she found a job quick as a security guard downtown. She would roll her eyes at the rest who were milling around drunk or high while begging strangers.
I used to drive for Uber in Los Angeles, I picked up a homeless lady she had the new iPhone that cost nearly 1k, my phone was a little wimpy iPhone 6 at the time.
@ he never said that quit trying to some work tool. It’s really fuckin stupid to be homeless but also walk around with a months rent in your pocket, in general it’s dumb to buy the most expensive thing even when your financially stable.
@ you don’t know that they give out free phones to hobos in California? I’m not joking, its called lifeline program. All hobos out here owns at least one phone, if not few of them.
What do you mean? He knows what it’s like. It’s easy. Just pull yourself up from your bootstraps! Maybe if camping was illegal, you could go to jail and figure your life out so I don’t have to see you!
I am not a huge fan of Spotify because of their persistent refusal to offer lossless audio format, which is really important to me. But other than that, no other service I've tried matches them in terms of playlist generation (according to what you listened to in the past), low amount of bugs (e.g. Tidal, which I use for times when I really need hi-res music - cuts off frequently when streaming chromecast to my DAC), niche music, and UI (which is debatable, because it's a personal preference). This week I considered moving to Apple music (I use iPhone), since they are releasing their lossless audio offering, but given that it does not offer dedicated application on Linux, I'll have to stick around with Spotify, until they enable high-res audio. When that happens, no other service (for my particular use) will offer better service for my money.
@@joeyn4607 don't lump in the homeless population with the poor working class. poor people keep the country running, (most)homeless are fucking tweaker leeches. most working class people in LA hate the homeless, its the trust fund art/journalism liberals with money who enable and protect the homeless who just end up causing stress and harm to the working class.
There’s a simple reason to that. It’s because the City of Austin gives more money and programs to the homeless rather than any other city in Texas. Why, if I was homeless, would I go to any small Texan town or even Dallas or Houston? It’s already hot as fuck here, I need some place to help me.
I don't hate or resent the rich merely because they are wealthy. Most of them became wealthy because they were able to provide goods or services that people wanted, and so they were successful. If you want to hate the rich who became rich through vulture capitalism, buying companies and strip mining them for profit before shutting them down, destroying local economies to line their pockets, and swindling and subverting on an international scale through stock market games and hedge fund manipulative predatory tricks, I can understand that. I can also understand why the rich don't think that money should be thrown at the homeless problem. I resent that my money could be taken by threat of force or legal punishment and given to people who are willingly homeless and not working. It's different for those who are truly mentally ill and can't function in society, but in my area, the overwhelming majority of homeless live the way they do because they use hard drugs all day, and they just don't want to be in society. They stand on the side of roads or walk through traffic, wearing clothes nicer than mine, looking and smelling freshly bathed; these are the ones who most likely don't have a hard drug problem and just make money by asking people for it. Then there are the ones I look a little rougher, but you can tell in conversation with them that they are mentally normal, and you can see on their faces that they are using hard drugs. Then there were the ones who walk around talking to themselves, unable to interact with people on a normal level, looking extremely disheveled, unbathed, smelling like body odor and urine. Those are the ones I feel bad for.
The wife and I visited Austin. We avoided Austin after seeing all the homeless. We drive to San Antonio. So much cleaner, so much more inviting. We loved San Antonio.
Yeah, San Antonio is better. The people are nicer, it's way cleaner like you said, you don't see homeless everywhere.... Austin has a lot of issues. I lived in San Antonio for a few years and now Austin for a couple. I miss San Antonio
I’ve lived in both, and SA is definitely better, but you’re ultimately going to see every big city go downhill to some extent because of the people who run them. I recently moved to New Braunfels.

@@TheGeorgeous I would happily contribute to a solution if the offending party were willing to engage. Until then, they are a nuisance and should be treated as such.
I grew up in Austin in the 80s and 90s, it was an absolute gem of a town. I left almost 20 years ago and whenever I go back to visit it's unrecognizable. It's sad what became of my hometown.
Annie Lederman says "I drew this picture of me looking in the mirror and seeing something very different looking back at me. The Huffington Post did an article about it but did not watermark it correctly and the picture became a meme and went viral without crediting me. It was stolen and posted everywhere a million times. It used to infuriate me but now I’m so happy it reached and resonated with so many people and am really so excited to be able to take back the night by making these shirts and sharing my art with you."
I've volunteered at several homeless shelters over the years. Providing all sorts of assistance and opportunities to get people back on their feet, even for felons. I have found everyone's story is different. But 90% of them were all decisions they've made or were still making that kept them there. Some of them were very successful prior to living on the street, but got bad breaks and just needed a little time to get back on their feet. Others chose to be homeless because they got that welfare check every month and qualified for disability. A common story among most who stayed homeless is they had no drive, or desire to do, or go, or become anything more than being provided for, no matter how many opportunities were available. Depression and alcoholism were commonplace, where all the money went to getting drunk or high simply to forget their troubles. One I remember couldn't get a job because they kept failing the drug tests that they needed to get clean for, and refused to get cleared with rehab. We can try and help people as much as possible, but just like to horse to the water, you cannot help anyone who won't take the measures to help themselves.
@Globglogabgolab 2.0 True, but not wanting to get better is a mental health issue in the first place. Its easy to separate from homeless people by saying "they just don't want help", not my problem. Then you can look down on them and not feel bad (not saying you do this but many do). There is a gigantic mental health crisis and equally large stigma still attached to it.

Always happens. People move to LA to get rich, then once they have it they get a ego and forget where the small town they came from, and then move to a no income state.
Why can't homeless people become millionaires? Were these people in the discussion just given millions of dollars or have they earned it?? None of them look like hunter Biden or Joe biden.
This is the most inept discussion about homelessness I have ever heard. This is not a State's issue, this is an entire country issue. Whether you see homeless people daily or not, its gonna take sweeping changes to make an impact.
Facts. One State could solve an isolated issue however nothing is really stopping other ppl from other parts of the country to flock there seeking a safe haven. The homeless migrate towards densely populated areas since there are more social services in those areas. Up here in Toronto, Canada, tent encampments have been popping up to the point where laws are being pushed through the system to have them removed. The issue is global even.
I’m visiting Austin right now, and coming from Dallas where I didn’t see a single homeless person, to Austin where EVERY street is lined with tents… I was literally shocked.
Yeah dude, listening to Rogan whine about the homeless is ridiculous. Especially since his only answer is to cut funding and tell 100,000 people to pull themselves up by their bootstraps, despite the fact that many of them already have jobs, especially in LA.
@@a-par82 He should think about moving to a different part of Texas. He moved to a place with just as much homelessness and that's what he was trying to get away from?
Social programs in general would help immensely. Not just housing, but big spending on mental health and community job support systems. Trying to find a job with no address, no access to a shower or a place to put a good set of clothes is a challenge. A center where if you are actively looking for work that allows you to use a shower, laundry and locker (so you don't have to stuff your clothes in a bag and walk around with it all day.) would probably help a lot.
Blame the fucking Sackler's & big pharma. Why do people feel the need to medicate?... oh, yeah...because if they're not from money they can't get there.

I used to work at a homeless shelter in Los Angeles and let me tell you , housing will not solve anything, we've had clients straight out leave and rather sleep out side because they rather do drugs and sleep outside then follow rules and sleep in a bed. What they need in more mental health resources but yall not ready for that convo...🤷🏻♀️
They need both.
You are correct^
I was listening to Tim Dillon speak with Yannis Papas (who used to work in social work)…. said the same thing you just did -> that homeless ppl would literally bring junk into their apartments from the street OR just disappear and live on the streets for 2 weeks and then ‘come back’ to the house for a day or two before going back under the bridge
That's what Finland did. And it helped massively.
I work for a mental health org. Part of what we do is find housing and services for homeless. It's a revolving door; Find them an apartment, get it furnished, hook them up with medical services, EBT, etc, etc. A couple months in they trashed the place, sold the appliances, invite their fellow addicts in to party. They get evicted and it starts all over again. Not easy to find landlords who want that shit anymore.
We need to offer a free cruise. Then float on out into the ocean, have a helicopter pick up the staff from the boat and just leave them floating in the ocean to their own devices. But we need to put cameras everywhere and stream that shit.

Not true, you can never fix homeless problem because more people go homeless each year. It’s a loop.
@@May16Joe solving the homeless problem doesn’t mean having no homeless people, if there was less homeless people they would need less staff, they don’t even try to make it better.

When I lived in LA, it never ceased to amaze me how the hipsters are totally oblivious to how terrible LA is. One time I started working with a client who had just moved into a fancy loft in a rennovated building Downtown. I visited them at their expensive apartment and parked in what looked like a third world country for a parking spot, with dirty, broken pavement and potholes filled with luminescent green water. Then I stepped over homeless people leaning up against the building. And then I stepped over a big turd on the sidewalk before finally reaching the front door. The loft sure was nice, though. Not long after that, I was on a crew unloading a truck in a alley, also Downtown, which was filled with tons of turds, and I told the others "don't wheel those cases through dog turds," and one of them replied "those aren't dog turds." This was adjacent to another renovated building with fancy apartments with their windows and patios overlooking this disgusting alley.

This is the result of the media and “celebrities” using propaganda to convince people “democrats good”. They ruin everything
Yes it is, I visited Austin 3 years ago and it was bad then. I can only imagine how it is now.
My trick was to leave space between me and the car in front of me and then pull up when they approach my car.
Try not to be uncomfortable and just be friendly. I've been going around Dallas offering water bottles, food and someone to talk to for the homeless. So far, no takers. They're not so helpless as you think.
I had this problem in Florida. We used to throw Mcdonalds drinks at them as we drove by. Most would have to move elsewhere after they cleaned up. I honestly think we helped get rid of them. It was common knowledge to hassle them. No reason to put up with that . It ruins you community, home value, etc..

It's interesting to think that a person who might be employed and function as a working adult and contribute to the economy, could still have the reality of having a nonliving structure to live from out of in L.A.
My statement based off of the cost of living and the number of affordable structures that could house a single person , that meet "Code" and are run by fair and decent management or city personnel.
Yea but his solution of just tell them no camping is delusional. You tell them no camping and they just move a few blocks down then circle back. You arrest them and your tax dollars pay for them to stay until they are released and the cycle repeats
@ mostly? Well could be a fact, but then again are we now implying that felon's are the majority and can't be placed anywhere
Or is it that to gain a felon charge is quite simple In the grand scheme of laws and judicial sentences.
It's not surprising that most people who have a prior conviction of a felony are very aware of the separation of meaningful employment and being rejected when applying for said employment.
But I'm guessing that the majority of homeless have been dealt a shitty, real bad hand in the beginning of their lives.

If you get paid to "work" on the homeless problem instead of _solving_ the homeless problem, what incentive do you have to fix it?
exactly!
that's the cool thing about having a PhD in Homelessness Studies, everyone you talk to by definition is less educated than you on the subject.
if anyone says the $200k on you isn't well spent, you just point out who holds the doctorate, then cite a long complex set of theories and statistics, and ask them to pinpoint the flaw in your approach. Theory says that you are right, according to other PhDs.
This applies to Military and Aerospace contracting perfectly too.
The only people who can "fix" it are the people themselves. You can't change anyone against their will and, believe me, having working in the homeless housing field, very few have any interest in changing anything. Staying fucked up is their life's ambition.

No sir if they did things like that, then there would actually be more money to go to important things. They can’t have that
If a private company wanted to buy them, they would have offered. You want the government to start soliciting while there is the fear of being sued and having a "politically bad" spot light? The system is working just the way the rich feel comfortable with it.
Those fema campers contain high amounts of asbestos. They're better off staying there as they're unhabitable
Are there homeless people still around from Katrina?
The cancer campers? Bury them
When you pay people massive six figure salaries to fix an issue like homelessness you’re not incentivizing them to fix it, you’re incentivizing bandaid solutions. Solutions that never truly fix the problem. If they solve homelessness, then they’re no longer needed to solve the problem. Bye bye massive six figure salary.
This is a problem that applies to many government departements!
Just like the DEA. They are racketeers
I try to always put myself in other people's shoes. Imagine being one of these six figure salaried homeless busters. Like do they realize they're paid ridiculously high for not solving an issue that's only getting worse? Maybe that floats around in the back of their minds and haunts them when they take too many shrooms. What's probably going on is these are affluent, college educated, liberals. They've been taught in these elite university settings, they give a lot of weight to the theory behind social science, they're intellectuals, and they're really really trying to be good, empathetic leaders. They think they know what's best for poor, homeless people. They think they deserve all that money and it's justified. They think they'd have a truly massive impact on homelessness if only the greedy corporations and the crooked politicians pulling the strings. They're just in these elite, social worker, liberal, intellectual bubbles. Also, I'm sure there are some real assholes who know they're making the big bucks to ineffectively address the homeless issue, but I 'd say most of these people really do have a version of reality where they're just good guys, working hard to fight against homelessness. Their biggest critics, conversely, have their own versions of reality where these overpaid social workers are nothing but anchors and leeches on society. A more true reality is probably somewhere in between.

“Come to Spotify where everything is worse and the UI sucks.” “But it’s all free! With ads…”
I am not a huge fan of Spotify because of their persistent refusal to offer lossless audio format, which is really important to me. But other than that, no other service I've tried matches them in terms of playlist generation (according to what you listened to in the past), low amount of bugs (e.g. Tidal, which I use for times when I really need hi-res music - cuts off frequently when streaming chromecast to my DAC), niche music, and UI (which is debatable, because it's a personal preference).
This week I considered moving to Apple music (I use iPhone), since they are releasing their lossless audio offering, but given that it does not offer dedicated application on Linux, I'll have to stick around with Spotify, until they enable high-res audio. When that happens, no other service (for my particular use) will offer better service for my money.

Joe hustled to get where he is. People who are on 6 figures doing Jack shit is not hustling
I don't hate or resent the rich merely because they are wealthy. Most of them became wealthy because they were able to provide goods or services that people wanted, and so they were successful.
If you want to hate the rich who became rich through vulture capitalism, buying companies and strip mining them for profit before shutting them down, destroying local economies to line their pockets, and swindling and subverting on an international scale through stock market games and hedge fund manipulative predatory tricks, I can understand that.
I can also understand why the rich don't think that money should be thrown at the homeless problem. I resent that my money could be taken by threat of force or legal punishment and given to people who are willingly homeless and not working. It's different for those who are truly mentally ill and can't function in society, but in my area, the overwhelming majority of homeless live the way they do because they use hard drugs all day, and they just don't want to be in society.
They stand on the side of roads or walk through traffic, wearing clothes nicer than mine, looking and smelling freshly bathed; these are the ones who most likely don't have a hard drug problem and just make money by asking people for it.
Then there are the ones I look a little rougher, but you can tell in conversation with them that they are mentally normal, and you can see on their faces that they are using hard drugs.
Then there were the ones who walk around talking to themselves, unable to interact with people on a normal level, looking extremely disheveled, unbathed, smelling like body odor and urine. Those are the ones I feel bad for.

Joe "Pull yourself up by your bootstraps" Rogan. How tone deaf
I've volunteered at several homeless shelters over the years. Providing all sorts of assistance and opportunities to get people back on their feet, even for felons. I have found everyone's story is different. But 90% of them were all decisions they've made or were still making that kept them there. Some of them were very successful prior to living on the street, but got bad breaks and just needed a little time to get back on their feet. Others chose to be homeless because they got that welfare check every month and qualified for disability. A common story among most who stayed homeless is they had no drive, or desire to do, or go, or become anything more than being provided for, no matter how many opportunities were available. Depression and alcoholism were commonplace, where all the money went to getting drunk or high simply to forget their troubles. One I remember couldn't get a job because they kept failing the drug tests that they needed to get clean for, and refused to get cleared with rehab. We can try and help people as much as possible, but just like to horse to the water, you cannot help anyone who won't take the measures to help themselves.
Very sad but true. Depression is a serious problem that needs to be addressed
You need affordable therapy and healthcare that is accessible to the general public. Not everyone on the streets ends up there because of drugs.
High wages, low rent, problem solved.
How many of those people had mental illness of some kind? You didn't mention that but I bet it was a high percentage.
@Globglogabgolab 2.0 True, but not wanting to get better is a mental health issue in the first place. Its easy to separate from homeless people by saying "they just don't want help", not my problem.

Feel like Rogan's take on homelessness is one of his shittier ones. Might have missed his thoughts on solutions though so fair enough if so. A lot of it feels like "they need to stop being visible"
Yeah it's so shallow, Joe "homeless porn" Rogan show.
exactly how he seees it

Lol at “you can’t loiter or litter or something.”
Why does that sound ridiculous to you?
@@knightofjustice5475 because those words have two completely different and unrelated definitions
@@lakaskafad they’re different words but not unrelated. You’d expect litter as a result of loitering. They go hand in hand.

Been talking about this as well.
@Toughen Upbuttercup best solution right here ladies and gentlemen. Cuz homeless people _aren't_ people. 🤦♂️
@@Synthwave89 They sure like to live like they're animals, so treat them as such
Homeless people purge wars. Make them all fight to the death amongst themselves.
You get more homeless people in California because homeless people from other states move there. They treat them better there and the weather is much more tolerable than lets say Phoenix or NY City.
Yeah definitely not the socialist policies incentivize welfare
@@SM-yr1go think that's what they meant by "they treat them better there"
True
Lol Joe didn't mention that HE wears toe shoes.
Yes🤣🤣🤣🤣 he used to run in them all the time
How else would the Toe Rogan be covered?
Heyyy I wear them too 😂😂
I remember when those were trendy like 8 years ago but haven’t seen them in a long time.
Oh man, I've been hanging out for Joe to do a deeper dive into the homelessness since his initial podcast about it but I feel like it was totally wasted on her :/
She was not interested in talking about homeless people
Would you be?
@@matthewfortuna3443 yes, I feel like if you're asking this question you don't know what I'm referring to.
Joe 'why dont the homeless just start a billion dollar podcast ' Rogan
I'd listen to a podcast based out of skid row
I'm sure they'd do just fine away from people who pay taxes and shell out for a nice house in a good area.
Can't y'all see this is Hoovervilles all over again. The disperity between wages and home costs is absurd on average. This is no one parties fault.
Blame stagnant wage growth and infinite QE. Money grows on trees from the Fed money printer, and the wealthy are the only one that are catching them from falling.
In California its absolutely one party's fault
@@lakersfansince1991
Democrats pretend to be for solving the homeless problem but always exacerbate it by doing nothing because doing so would look cruel. This
Republicans say the government can't solve it, so they should just remove them and do nothing--while keeping minimum wages low and push for lower wages and print money so that they can make more money, and keep everyone else poor. Then they wonder why so many people are homeless.
Both parties suck. Can't blame it all on Democrats. The last 3 governors of the state were awful too.
@@lakersfansince1991 what you see happening in California is happening all around the country and it's taken decades to manifest itself stop kidding yourself and stop playing the blame game
@@moonrooster7160 republicans are just democrats doing the speed limit for sure but California is a direct result of 40 years of democratic policies. I’m no fan of Republicans but don’t play the “both sides are equal to blame” game either.
I was homeless for two and a half years in my early twenties. What a nightmare. It's really not a personal problem so much as a systematic one.
It's the system that needs to change. One person can only do so much.
"Just go away!" is not a solution to the homelessness crisis in LA or anywhere else
The "cut the social services funding so they have no choice but to get a job" is such a dumb idea it boggles my mind that they would seriously say that.
Joe thinks they spend a lot of money in Los Angeles, he's like wow, 300 million dollars! That's a lot! Yeah Joe it's a lot to you, one person who just made hundreds of millions of dollars in a spotify deal. When you split it between 100,000 homeless people it's $3,000 each, which isn't enough to house someone in the middle of bumfuck nowhere let alone Los Angeles. Even here in the midwest it's hard to find an apartment for
It actually is. You get what you tolerate.
@@markus64s how about then, we get rid of all the self righteous, self regarding, selfish people that think their 'success" in life is all their doing? Then the homeless can take their homes. Problem solved.
@@vtquest You'd compel me to give up my home but won't compel bums, addicts & the mentally ill to stop sleeping in public spaces. You're not a big-hearted hero, you're a useful idiot.
@@markus64s the term useful idiot refers to people being useful to those in power. Obviously you are in favor of keeping power (housing, land) very concentrated, as it is, and I am not. So who is working to keep those in power, in power? Who is the "useful idiot"
The issue is homelessness, not the homeless.

"Made all my money in LA, left it because I'm a big baby and now I can't stop talking about LA"
He could have made more money if its anywhere outside. Lmao.
Always happens. People move to LA to get rich, then once they have it they get a ego and forget where the small town they came from, and then move to a no income state.
@@RockinLoud360 except Joe was from Texas tho. Well for a while he lived other places to but LA is where he lived when he really started making money
@@benjaminsmith4519 Thats what i said lol. People move to LA to get rich and then move away and complain about the place that made them rich
Hearing about homeless problem from a multimillionaire is hilarious
Exactly, he could probably afford to buy apartment buildings or hotels and provide affordable housing for all the homeless people in Austin!
Well your not exactly gonna hear homless people talking about it
Why can't homeless people become millionaires? Were these people in the discussion just given millions of dollars or have they earned it?? None of them look like hunter Biden or Joe biden.
@@powderandpaint14 so could that funding that is 200k usd wages per year for all those employees
Remember when homeless people were accurately called bums?
I’ll make this point again. The financial bubble caused rents to increase while minimum wage remained the same. More homeless.

Well in all fairness, it is a problem.
@@donjuan6118 I know it's a problem, but man, he talks about it on pretty much every podcast i watched lately.
This!!! I miss the chimps taking DMT smoking weed convos. Austin is gonna be fucked too. Poor guy is in total denial though.
This is the most inept discussion about homelessness I have ever heard. This is not a State's issue, this is an entire country issue. Whether you see homeless people daily or not, its gonna take sweeping changes to make an impact.
Facts. One State could solve an isolated issue however nothing is really stopping other ppl from other parts of the country to flock there seeking a safe haven.
The homeless migrate towards densely populated areas since there are more social services in those areas. Up here in Toronto, Canada, tent encampments have been popping up to the point where laws are being pushed through the system to have them removed. The issue is global even.
“All politics is local” - wise person
@Kane bourgeois universal healthcare would be a start.
Blame the homeless, not government legislation or the unethical corporate practices which have become common practice for the last forty years…
"They're (Homeless people) gonna just light things on fire and do drugs" -Joe Rogan
Dude, you are literally describing yourself.
I’m visiting Austin right now, and coming from Dallas where I didn’t see a single homeless person, to Austin where EVERY street is lined with tents… I was literally shocked.
He never stops talking about this, feels like he brings it up every episode
It’s because he regrets moving.
Maybe our nation should do something to fix the problem?
It seems like we're going thru a hidden depression.
Yeah dude, listening to Rogan whine about the homeless is ridiculous. Especially since his only answer is to cut funding and tell 100,000 people to pull themselves up by their bootstraps, despite the fact that many of them already have jobs, especially in LA.
@@a-par82 He should think about moving to a different part of Texas. He moved to a place with just as much homelessness and that's what he was trying to get away from?

Social programs in general would help immensely. Not just housing, but big spending on mental health and community job support systems. Trying to find a job with no address, no access to a shower or a place to put a good set of clothes is a challenge. A center where if you are actively looking for work that allows you to use a shower, laundry and locker (so you don't have to stuff your clothes in a bag and walk around with it all day.) would probably help a lot.
Same reason US doctors don’t really “treat” illnesses but MANAGE them…create customers for a lifetime ✊🏿🔥✊🏿
Homelessness is not a homes problem, it’s a drug problem
It's a mental health problem
Blame the fucking Sackler's & big pharma. Why do people feel the need to medicate?... oh, yeah...because if they're not from money they can't get there.

@@TheMikeMase And who pays for the homes to put them in and the maintenance homeless shelters are limited and weren't deemed essential during the pandemic. That's not solving homelessness, what exactly is the "root issue" you guys are no different you haven't said anything specific
Just put them in jail, problem solved
@@darthcelsius6393 root problems, in my opinion, are:
1. lack of affordable/government subsidized housing
2. lack of mental treatment options unless you're willing for fork over almost four figures a visit
I don't claim to have the answers, what I'm saying is that the strategy we're using right now (and this is prevalent in both RED AND BLUE areas) is basically, "well, this person complained about them being on their street, we'll kick em out of there and not worry where they go" which doesn't solve anything OBVIOUSLY
Joe “The homeless are coming for me” Rogan
lol
Well to be fair I been in Austin for about 3 years, and I didn't really see any homeless under overpasses and such while driving for the first two and a half. But in the kast 6 to 9 months they came out of nowhere and now there's hardly an overpass without some tents. So it seems like maybe he brought them with him, and he should go back where he came from.
@Wong Washer Allegedly and yet asfaik nobody I know has died. What I've seen is the needless destruction of small businesses by totalitarian government lockdowns as well as violent mobs that the government and big business encourage on one hand, while denying even exist on the other, or insisting they are actually peaceful. Meanwhile they gaslight us about how the biggest threat is what the Democrats were 60 years ago, pretending that's what Republicans are now. So for all I know, with how honest they are, what you say might not be true in even the slightest. In any case, we are ruled by pure evil passing as good.

He's not helping. Homelessness is not an individual problem where individual's "just need to get their lives together" as Rogan puts it in this clip.
There are appx 3000 homeless people in Austin.. there are about 500,000 in LA.
Please explain how Joe Rogan moving to Austin created the homeless problem there...
@@Loyal_Lion it’s just a joke.. the joke being that he will bring his liberalism to Austin, thereby eventually turning it in to Los Angeles.
