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.
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.
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.

My typed words had nothing to do with why Mr. Rogan moved . My typed words based on my first hand experience with business owners and property managers/owners.
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.
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..
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.

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.
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.
@@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).
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.
@@piscesmoon6333 My father was homeless because he is a drug user and alcoholic. Many homeless DO NOT get their shit together so on the street they deserve.
They need to get.... away from me, because that's most of the problem. The home owners don't pay taxes so these people can beg for scraps at their doorstep.
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 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.
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.

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.
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.
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.
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"
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.
They didn't really say that exactly, just that most people in Boulder are healthy and spiritual. Of course they said that was the opposite of homeless which would imply no homeless, but still. Joe lived in CO for a while, pretty sure he knows there are homeless there... but it really isn't nearly as bad as LA or I guess Austin. I live closer to Denver city and there might be a few corners that have homeless, but they aren't everywhere except in the worst areas.
They seem to be oblivious to fact that these people will still be homeless and some where after being kicked out of where they are. They can't just vanish.
Having worked in that field I can tell you, they will be kicked out of everyplace they ever lived. Few people (landlords especially) will tolerate the filthy lifestyles of an addict, and no means has ever been discovered that can make people sober against their will.
The salary issue is similar to the NHS in the U.K. There are managers, directors, heads of departments etc that get paid crazy amounts of money for being a complete jobsworth. Usually these are people that are given the job because they have a family or business connection.

@@littlelarry2912 I'm not arguing any of that. Could it be that the homeless are a problem but also that Joe doesn't have any compassion for them? Or are they mutually exclusive?
It's just too expensive to live in many U.S. cities. Sure, there are the mentally ill and drug users and the incorrigable homeless, but now in places like Los Angeles it's also people working low wage jobs who can't even afford a studio apartment, who suffer one minor setback and are out on the streets.
Austin has become the same way more and more. In Austin you could work a 15 dollar an hour job and afford a one bedroom apartment 5 or 10 years ago. Not even close these days.
There's FAR more of the former rather than the latter. Most of the people who are of the latter actually "live" in their cars. They aren't the ones setting up a tent city rife with drugs and disease. Throwing money at it won't solve the problem, because the problem isn't the "system", the problem is personal choices.
@@stephenturner757 People do, but LA (up until Covid) had more people coming in every day than were leaving so the problem keeps metastasizing. And LA is a huge place. You'd have to venture out very far to find someplace affordable.

Homeless = no human minimum living standard in a society. IT IS SO EASY TO HOUSE PEOPLE. It is so evil and anarchistic to not have a roof, water, and food for every living human.
So people keep wealth-shaming those who live in big cities but don't give to the homeless. You have to understand that the US government already spends $35k a year on each homeless person. That doesn't even include street handouts from passing citizens, private charities and passive or active income many homeless people already receive. Money is not the issue, you would know that if you actually lived there and interacted with them. $35,000 is more than what the average Polish person makes in a year, yet you don't see an entire nation of homeless people in Poland. The truth is a significant number of homeless people (about half) are addicted to drugs or alcohol and another portion are severely mentally ill. Until you deal with these 2 problems, the homeless will never stop crowding your streets. Because people are so ignorant, they keep doubting the $35k figure, here's a source: rootsclinic.org/how-much-would-it-cost-to-end-homelessness-in-america/ This is easily available information
@@taboowriter9229 sigh... you're wrong on both accounts. Average income for Americans is about $50k a year. I didn't say homeless people make $35k a year. The government SPENDS $35k a year per homeless person. I have no idea how much they actually make on top of that.
@@taboowriter9229no he's not saying they make that much, but that's an estimate on how much is spent on each homeless person on facilities, food, case workers, etc.
A fair point. The sad truth to homelessness is that there’s a kind of freedom that goes with living like that. It can be hard to get people to stick to routines and schedules as a means of helping them.
Give the homeless "helpers" minimum wage and monetary compensation each time they rehabilitate and house one homeless person. So only the helpers who get results would earn six figures. Problem solved.
although austin has recently adopted california style social laws that create homelessness, at least austin does not have california style business laws that make it difficult to open and run a business.
Can we really assume that every homeless person is on drugs. Even if they are, there not going get there life together, until they do get off drugs. But we don't really help anyone get off drugs. We just throw them in prison.
This shit is only going to get worse with continued inflation and unaffordable housing prices. Thing is, it’d be nice to just give the homeless all the unoccupied houses, but they need more. They need jobs, financially security, and mental health rehabilitation.
they also need to choose discipline and responsibility instead of alcohol and drugs. You know what, I like drugs too! They feel awesome. I would love to do coke every weekend and have a good time, that shit feels amazing. But the main reason I don't is because that's fucking irresponsible. I wouldn't be able to afford the things I need in life like a roof over my head and food and a car and every other bill I have to pay. Even worse, I'm liable to get addicted and end up losing everything. You can't do both... some people choose drugs over a normal life. Some people have mental health issues too, and they need some extra help for sure. But a lot of these people chose drugs or alcohol over being a productive adult.
@@increase9896 That's questionable whether drug or alcohol addiction really is a choice that people make. The medical profession and neurologists would say otherwise, and I believe them over you. Additionally, substance abuse and mental problems may be symptoms rather than causes to some degree. I can imagine that sleeping out in the street for nights on end would drive most people crazy, as well as lead them to self-medicate with drugs or alcohol. Also, shouldn't there be a right to have at least barebones housing and sanitation for all Americans? If you don't think so, then the homeless are in quite a quandary, where their very existence is criminalized. By all means, pass laws that outlaw sleeping in public spaces. But then there better be enough beds for these people available, or you have put them in an impossible situation where they literally have nowhere to go.

Joe “I left LA and moved to Texas’ version of LA” Rogan
My typed words had nothing to do with why Mr. Rogan moved . My typed words based on my first hand experience with business owners and property managers/owners.
Good stay there
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.
We don't like to complain about it like you.

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
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.
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.

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.
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?

That's one way to ensure that homelessness never goes away.
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).
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.
open up all the insane asylums again and put them in there and take care of them

“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.

I remember when those were trendy like 8 years ago but haven’t seen them in a long time.
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. 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.

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.

It's just too expensive to live in many U.S. cities. Sure, there are the mentally ill and drug users and the incorrigable homeless, but now in places like Los Angeles it's also people working low wage jobs who can't even afford a studio apartment, who suffer one minor setback and are out on the streets.
Austin has become the same way more and more. In Austin you could work a 15 dollar an hour job and afford a one bedroom apartment 5 or 10 years ago. Not even close these days.
There's FAR more of the former rather than the latter. Most of the people who are of the latter actually "live" in their cars. They aren't the ones setting up a tent city rife with drugs and disease.

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.

Joe "I'm all for universal basic income but if you're homeless get a damn job!" Rogan
My favorite is people watching this like her thinking "this is so sad" not realizing the country is on the verge of a seismic shift economically.
Folks, this isn't a movie or some foreign war that you will watch on tv. This is real and will play out live.
Let’s see how Joe spins this into Austin is better than LA
Cuz LA is straight up trash. Just a bunch of wannabe losers with no real world skills
Both cities are shitthole
And then that skinny ghoul Hinchcliffe is talking about Austin has better Mexican food than LA 😂😂😂
@@JoseOrozco_1 right “Tex-Mex” and redban said they have good sushi 😂😎
Tbh she looks like a homeless Scarlett Johansson
I’ll make this point again. The financial bubble caused rents to increase while minimum wage remained the same. More homeless.
Homeless = no human minimum living standard in a society. IT IS SO EASY TO HOUSE PEOPLE. It is so evil and anarchistic to not have a roof, water, and food for every living human.
You should house them if it’s so easy.
Joe turned into that guy that cant stop taking about his ex lmao
LA started setting up in empty parking lots about 10’X10’ cubical pods for homeless individuals
Yeah, the city is paying 2600$$ A MONTH PER SQUARE. LOL LOL TALK ABOUT BEING STUPID
Now where do the cars park???
@@Patrick3183 no more cars they're not very progressive
@u dope you're being a bad person.
@@donaloizzo that's nothing. San Francisco is doing similar and it costs $5000/month per homeless person
So people keep wealth-shaming those who live in big cities but don't give to the homeless. You have to understand that the US government already spends $35k a year on each homeless person. That doesn't even include street handouts from passing citizens, private charities and passive or active income many homeless people already receive. Money is not the issue, you would know that if you actually lived there and interacted with them.
$35,000 is more than what the average Polish person makes in a year, yet you don't see an entire nation of homeless people in Poland. The truth is a significant number of homeless people (about half) are addicted to drugs or alcohol and another portion are severely mentally ill. Until you deal with these 2 problems, the homeless will never stop crowding your streets.
Because people are so ignorant, they keep doubting the $35k figure, here's a source: rootsclinic.org/how-much-would-it-cost-to-end-homelessness-in-america/
This is easily available information
This makes no sense. Each homeless person makes $35k a year? Avg american makes like $30k my dude...
@@taboowriter9229 sigh... you're wrong on both accounts. Average income for Americans is about $50k a year. I didn't say homeless people make $35k a year. The government SPENDS $35k a year per homeless person. I have no idea how much they actually make on top of that.
@@taboowriter9229no he's not saying they make that much, but that's an estimate on how much is spent on each homeless person on facilities, food, case workers, etc.
@@perrybb2 those numbers make sense to me. Have a source though?
Why does she keep calling Joe 'my king'
I can imagine what her standup is like
It's better than women calling other women queen, I hate that
She is actually pretty funny, but is cringe here with Joe.
A lot of homeless people don’t like living in state sponsored housings due to the rules that limit their wants and needs
Their wants and needs like smoking meth.
thinking that its specifically weed is adorable. You don't smoke weed with needles.
A fair point. The sad truth to homelessness is that there’s a kind of freedom that goes with living like that. It can be hard to get people to stick to routines and schedules as a means of helping them.
Wants and needs of drugs and crime yes. (No not all of them obviously)
lmao at the idea of a homeless person being picky about a place being given to them for free
Give the homeless "helpers" minimum wage and monetary compensation each time they rehabilitate and house one homeless person. So only the helpers who get results would earn six figures. Problem solved.
although austin has recently adopted california style social laws that create homelessness, at least austin does not have california style business laws that make it difficult to open and run a business.
Can we really assume that every homeless person is on drugs. Even if they are, there not going get there life together, until they do get off drugs. But we don't really help anyone get off drugs. We just throw them in prison.
They do get help. The majority of them just refuse it. And we don't put them in prison for just doing drugs. They don't need anymore coddling.
purdue family should put addicts in a paid facility. The cost of rehab is unbelievable
@S G I would, I can’t blame them, I can’t imagine.
Yes
What's this "we" stuff?
Joe / Jamie... y'all should try and get 'German in Venice' into your studio some day.
This shit is only going to get worse with continued inflation and unaffordable housing prices. Thing is, it’d be nice to just give the homeless all the unoccupied houses, but they need more. They need jobs, financially security, and mental health rehabilitation.
they also need to choose discipline and responsibility instead of alcohol and drugs. You know what, I like drugs too! They feel awesome. I would love to do coke every weekend and have a good time, that shit feels amazing. But the main reason I don't is because that's fucking irresponsible. I wouldn't be able to afford the things I need in life like a roof over my head and food and a car and every other bill I have to pay. Even worse, I'm liable to get addicted and end up losing everything. You can't do both... some people choose drugs over a normal life. Some people have mental health issues too, and they need some extra help for sure. But a lot of these people chose drugs or alcohol over being a productive adult.
@@increase9896 That's questionable whether drug or alcohol addiction really is a choice that people make. The medical profession and neurologists would say otherwise, and I believe them over you. Additionally, substance abuse and mental problems may be symptoms rather than causes to some degree. I can imagine that sleeping out in the street for nights on end would drive most people crazy, as well as lead them to self-medicate with drugs or alcohol.
Also, shouldn't there be a right to have at least barebones housing and sanitation for all Americans?
If you don't think so, then the homeless are in quite a quandary, where their very existence is criminalized. By all means, pass laws that outlaw sleeping in public spaces. But then there better be enough beds for these people available, or you have put them in an impossible situation where they literally have nowhere to go.
I saw a car in Texas with California license plates that had a sticker that said "Turn Texas Blue"... I hate these people.
Hahaha
It would have taken everything in me not to follow that person, wait until they got out of their car and smack them silly.
From how it's going it's already too late for you guys. I'm not from Texas, but laugh when it turned blue for a moment during election. Should had stop Elon and Joe long ago. I guess you should start heading to Alabama
@@Garrus1995 How very Conservative of you. Let's hope it does turn blue and people like you don't feel so confident anymore. Maybe get rid of some of those ridiculous guns you're all so obsessed with.
@@professorpancakes6545 so you don't see anything wrong with people destroying a state with blue policies, then fleeing to a red state just to try to ruin it? I'm legitimately curious. I'm trying to figure out if you are stupid, evil or both...
I live in the UK and our homeless problem is self inflicted by drug addicts choosing to be homeless to have more money to feed their addiction, I have zero sympathy for those people, I think as long as do-gooders are handing out change to them and free food & drink then they are never going to attempt to sort their shit out.
Hey Joe Rogan's idea to solve the homeless crisis...... Figure your life out. 🤯
I was dumbfounded 😂 wow joe its all solved now good job
"I'm from the government, and I'm here to help"
There's nothing more scary than that...
... and im here to help you give me half your money
"You can't allow people to camp on streets in the middle of nowhere"
What are they supposed to do? Where are they supposed to go?
Ebt office, get some motel vouchers,and then look around for places to put applications
Jails and mental asylums, where they used to go.
Exactly! Joe is turning into those annoying rich people complaining from their mansions. There's no constructive solution on how to bring back these people into mainstream society rather just whining about how inconvenient it is aesthetically
Away from my house. Not dropping needles everywhere, lighting things on fire, looking crazy. Idgaf where they go, they can go jump off a bridge for all I care but I’m tired of telling my little brother we can’t go to the park bc there are homeless there doing drugs and being crazy.
@You are Wasting Your Time Reading this I appreciate your concern but not likely with Gavin Newsom and his clique in power.
Homeless people are just regular folks who've been let down by their society, we shouldn't treat them as others and must be sympathetic to their needs
