Building housing isn't the answer. People like Sussy are too far gone to do anything but ruin any housing they might be given (and it WILL be given, not rented to them, because their own lifestyles have made them unable to ever earn enough to pay for it). It'll be given to them by politicians eager for a favorable mention on TV, and paid for with the taxes that The Party extracts from ordinary honest working people. The politicians in turn will be re-elected by those same ill-informed voters (the few who bother to vote, that is) who will see those TV clips and believe the lies they're being told.
Many of the things happening are illegal and we simply aren’t enforcing laws on the books. I dare you to try as a tax paying hard working citizen to camp/poop/have fires/sell drugs etc on the streets. You will be charged accordingly.
You'll never be able to solve the homeless crisis completely. Why? It's too expensive. You have to be able to get the homeless to pitch in and do something.
They’d gladly go to a shelter if you don’t tell them what to do. Government is totally out of touch cause no matter how many shelters they make, they’ll refuse to live off of any rules .
Affordable means you have some money and you'll be able to afford something. If you are so wacked out of your mind and spend every cent you have on drugs you are incapable of paying rent.@@STOP.Deleting.Truth.Comments

at 5:05 in the video: There is an "emergency shelter" in place 40 feet from the apartment complex I live in. It was created in a renovated motel, and since it was established 7 months ago, my car was stolen along with 12 others, there have been over 20 break ins, there are homeless fights and drug fueled screaming matches in the parking lot, I am constantly catching residents of the center looking in car windows, going through the dumpster and leaving trash every where, and I have had to call the center many times to get their wandering, mentally compromised residents away from the apartment entrance. The final straw for me to try to break my lease (unsuccessfully) was when I had to shelter in place for 6 hours while Alameda Police responded with 9 police cars and a SWAT team to one of the paranoid schizophrenic patients at this facility who was pointing a gun at people. It is easy for a city official to say, " we all need to do our part" when they themselves can go to a home that isn't located near one of these sites. My response would be to any city official who thinks the responsibility belongs to the average Joe, "Do your part, because you signed up to make the city a better place for the people in it, not force responsibility onto citizens who aren't prepared/willing/trained to deal with this. It is dangerous, and creates even more problems. This is not a NIMBY mentality. This is a response to the complete and utter lack of accountability for the "non- profit" agency, (Cardena Health) that was allowed by shortsighted and half baked plans to aid the homeless, and allow the organizations to slam together zero accountability, zero security shelters, and create dangerous situations for homeless and the neighborhoods they pick for these sites.
these "atmospheric river" rainstorms have probably resulted in a significant number of bodies getting hung up on brush or whatever in the river areas too
1/2 of all the homeless in the USA live in California. Why? Because they are welcome their, it is easy, they are protected. It does not help the homeless. And this "leader" wants YOU to pay for this. Thank a Democrat.
We have tons of land, California's huge. We just need to set up asylums, places they can be sent and stay as long as needed, the old classic insane asylum model like the Agnews center only bigger, and we need many of them. State mental hospitals, whatever you want to call them.
@@alexcarter8807 they will fill up and there will be even more the problem is systemic its not like some people are born homeless. this homelessness is a result of our culture and our economy the more we hate homeless the more homeless we create the more we create division the more people end up on the street stop judging and the problem will get better its just a universal concept
Many of these homeless people are handicapped in some way and can't hold a job or care for themselves and their surroundings. With housing so expensive they have nowhere to go.
There are parts of the Country where housing is a fraction of the cost here. Federal Disability is good al over the Country. They can move. They like it here better.
Well-meaning politicians(IF there are any) should be careful about promising to tackle and solve problems that they don't fully understand. The homeless problem as in this case, is mostly and often a greater problem of substance abuse. Simply housing anyone with a substance abuse problem and removing them from the outdoors will solve the homelessness problem but will also create a new set of problems. I've lived with meth users for 8 years. Been there done, done that.
I would love to have the opportunity to get paid for working but unfortunately i have not been given any opportunities i did not go to school and i have many years of compound trauma but yet i am a kind person respectfull and grateful for life and i do not fit in with my homeless encampment guadalupe creek trail and biggest homeless campsite in san jose ca all over the news these days i i am two streets away and still have managed to take care of and treat my area respectful yet sadly i do not fit in with non homeless community for i do not belong anyplace i constantly feel as if i am in everyones way and try to hide myself so as not to be a burden or a problem i am in fear of being push out because of all the destruction other homeless individuals choose to do near me i have been waiting on waiting lists for years and yet they overlooked me and i am tired of people like susie taking advantage of resources yet playing the victim infront of the cameras again she has been kicked out of shelters temporary housing etc etc etc tell the truth stop trying to munipulates the story but then again the programs know who to choose to participate willingly in the revolving door affect to continue collecting more data towards acuiring more than enough funds
Honestly say no to meth and say yes to a loving God. God in my humble opinion doesn't want people to live this way. People choose to live like this and they with a little encouragement must choose to come out.
the only way for a person to not be homeless is to givecthem a home. cities are suppose to be able to figure it out. dont let the real estate industry tell you. home values are all inflated. build affordable housing.
How about enforcing existing rules?
I thought it was illegal to camp near a waterway now. Clearly not being enforced.
Enforced ??? were do you live ??
WHAT? Really?
I can't imagine how the unhoused community could treat the waterway like a toilet.
LOL
Confucius say…”Drug Addiction leads to homelessness” A meth habit is a fast track to homelessness, just ask sussy 😂😂😂
That’s not very nice.
Shit creek California style!
Just do like Texas. Bus your issue to another state. San Jose is too expensive. Mississippi is affordable.
No teeth. Meth is one hella drug.
That or no dental insurance. 🫢
I had to get dentures . A particular denture and I have nerve done drugs or anything/ no alcohol either! So there’s that…
Send them to Detroit, give them an abandoned house to fix up, and open a factory to employ them. Win win win 🥇
All the nimbys, build the housing needed but it’s hard because of the opposition to build the housing needed

This is so San Jose.
I can’t believe people used to want to live there.
I’m fixing to move there, servers make 18 an hour plus tips
@ San Jose has fallen further than BLM.

It is not governments responsibility to house people. It is each individuals responsibility
capitalism doesn't work
I love how pollution is something we can deal with; homelessness not.
The City and the mayor have allowed this to get this bad !
You'll never be able to solve the homeless crisis completely. Why? It's too expensive. You have to be able to get the homeless to pitch in and do something.
been like that for two decades

I know people who own their home, and the back looks homeless encampment.
NOTHING New
Look at the state of these people. Do they look like they can hold down a job? What will affordable housing do for them?
Restore human dignity

STAY OFF DRUGS.
Drugs is not the root source. Capitalists not paying livable wages is the root of all problems.

What happened to all the money you siphoned off tax payers
The more free housing you provide, the more homeless from other states you attract.
Creeks turned into open sewer, and that's how pollution started.
She sounds like Joe Biden. Can’t understand a thing she says.
I think you meant demented tRump. Biden has an aging brain; Trump has a demented brain.
Sussy on drugs
Fine the city. Period. Sue the City.
these "atmospheric river" rainstorms have probably resulted in a significant number of bodies getting hung up on brush or whatever in the river areas too
Time to restart the WPA.
So shuffling the old temporary solutions instead of actually fixing the problem.
Asylums!!!!!!!!

Where he stay cause i have not seen him around here
Stay crazy mfers!
It's time to MOVE the homeless OUT of California.
You’re going to hate it when nice hotels are full of illegal immigrants.
Vote Blue
We have tons of land, California's huge. We just need to set up asylums, places they can be sent and stay as long as needed, the old classic insane asylum model like the Agnews center only bigger, and we need many of them. State mental hospitals, whatever you want to call them.

@@copyprint-fz2hbvote blue to get rid of orange boogey man and his mean tweets, even if it means more crime, homeless and murder
It may cost less by just pay 60k/day.
They are merely migrating
Involuntary commitment.
continue authorizing the use of drugs
… on a waiting list……
The city needs to install portable toilet and shower stalls for these folks. They need water to live like every other human being

First they need to accept going sober to get help which they don't want to
D dens with restrooms and showers

Cap rents. Raise minimum wage to a sustainable level.
Businesses would close. More would become unemployed. Real estate would go down. More people would leave. Is that your solution?
Dont come to SF because the drugs are better 😅
…but they’re homeless so they get to d whatever they want.
