Supreme Court decision on homeless encampments; Crisis on the streets, developer impact fees
HTML-код
- Опубликовано: 22 апр 2024
- Currently, San Francisco is banned from clearing homeless encampments, stemming from a lawsuit initiated in 2022, with the Supreme Court now playing a pivotal role. Amid the visible crises unfolding on the streets, the city has adopted a policy of only citing or arresting homeless individuals who decline offers of shelter. Encampments are only cleared out if they pose a significant public health concern.

Open up the supreme courts lawn, let people camp on the Supreme Court lawn.
Yes
They’re not the ones making people poorer.
Please, I humbly beg you use proper terminology when addressing unhoused population. Do not use term homeless, and use unhoused, because when you say homeless it reveals your inner hate for unfortunate ones. Please!!!
The firms that are increasing home prices, i.e., private equity, should be legally prohibited from owning homes.
Buy up all the housing, make homelessness illegal so people are forced to rent, profit.
Well, I got an idea let’s just give all our money to other countries so we don’t have any money here to help the homeless
Sorry James, Someone beat you to this idea....lol
You're assuming that politicians actually care. The federal government could easily fund programs for building new tiny home communities, and providing more section 8 housing, these new communities could include programs to get them off drugs and creating jobs. Unfortunately, they don't have a lot to gain from doing so. Weapons sales are far more profitable.
The federal government runs itself like a for-profit business, using third party entities for defense contracts, shipbuilding, aircraft manufacturing, munitions, and technology, among others. The money trail is impossible to follow, especially when a lot of it goes to other countries. The lining of pockets in certain circles is stunning. But the money trail is obscure, and it is designed to be that way. Investment by our government focuses not on the people, but on revenue producing investment. Unfortunately, even with all that, our national debt is around 34 trillion dollars. How it will all end is anyone's guess, and there are a LOT of guesses.
Liberals hates poor people. Unless they come here illegal. Then they get free hotels and food.
@@robynmasters335unless it's voting time 🤓 🖕
this is a symptom of our housing crisis and the greedy corps who are buying up the housing market and chargeing as much as possible....we need a law that only lets landlords increase the rent no higher than the current inflation
The current inflation is artificially increased by greedy politicians and the cost of living goes up too.
"If you are going to offer me something, let it be safe"
Is this a demand?
If a building is designated, will it be criticised as there would be many rules in order to create a safe environment?
At what point does a free place to live, and meals become a prison?
Could people be required to work in order to be given a place to sleep?
Why are we giving money to 10 million illegal immigrants when we can't afford to pay for our own homeless?
Would paying homeless people to clean up streets be bad? In order for a place to live
@@abracadabrapainting3373
I agree...
Give the homeless work and a place to live.
Many who are homeless and addicted don't want to get clean, but they want a safe place to sleep and food.
The obvious solutions are apparently not obvious.
Ironically they are defacing the streets, not cleaning them
@@ammasophia4663 well the businesses have a role in the dedication issues. They ban non customers etc from using their restroom. Why, most times because they use in bathroom, or not up on hygiene. Shelters etc are really waste of money. Property with some facilities etc is more productive. And even then someone will destroy that for everyone.
Where are your facts supporting that we "are giving money to 10 million illegal immigrants?" How much money?
I can see a significant disparity in your statement but, I'll wait on your facts.
@@mindtrix18 it could be proven without research. Over the past 10 yrs for instance. How many illegal migrants have entered the US. And by illegal I give examples of, didn't register, overstayed student or work visas... I'm that time frame, how many children were born? How many went to school? Wic, medical, food stamps etc. during the past 3 years payouts etc for travel, food, housing and medical for whoever comes across the border. Meanwhile cities who said oh we are sanctuary cities, are being demolished. It was bad for many who came to the US. Now they want it the way it was where they came from. That's not how immigration works.
Eventually... Not having a home address will be wholly criminalized. If you don't have or/and cannot find a home... One will be provided by The State.
Aka: incarnation / institutionalization.
As George Carlin said...
"We have no Rights. Only privileges that can be taken away at any time by The State."
That's the way, uh huh, the politicians like it!!
then if you want to be considered respectable PAY TAXES. stop being a bum.
@@marilynwillett804i tend to agree some of them purposely stay homeless even though they have local shelters in every major city, day shelters to with Internet access so they can set up mailing and look for jobs there's all kinds of options but I think part of the reasons a lot f people sleep out there is because there junkies there a little bit more stubborn about getting a job then just a local homeless guy because sometimes there either to old or there chasing voices.
I tend to agree a lot of times those homeless people that sleep in those tents are drug addicts and alcoholics so they probably should sweep them up when you think about it because some of them are rebellious to a point we're it causes to much of a disturbance I remember when they tried to put them up in a fancy hotel they trashed the place and another shooting happened so forcing jail or rehab on them might actually be a solution it's not fair that the rest of us have to hustle and they got all that free time to get on waiting lists, apply for work and usually shelters have mailing centers and a place for them to sleep, eat and shower too.

@@sarbantz do what? Houseless means u do not have a home. Therefore you are in the homeless category. Not a derogatory term, facts not feeling.
There needs to be laws to protect the homeless on the streets, just like there should be more laws to protect the housed from greedy landlords that keep raising rents to get rid of people they don't want living on their properties make them homeless. No one should be unhoused, jobless months/years, unfed, or unclothed in this country. This is just ridiculous.

If they were illegal immigrants seeking asylum, we'd have the problem solved over night. Shame this takes so much debate.

Work programs always get shot down by business interests. It’s like giving away food, it hurts their bottom line by giving their less paid workers a better deal.
I think the difference between a person who has lost a home temporarily and a career politicized homeless person is the aggression level and amount of garbage left.
I do agree that tents should not be set up near businesses or public sidewalks....however @ the same time with all the vacant houses and commercial warehouses, in most major cities it makes no sense for those who desire to get off the streets are not able to......
Fun fact! The recent war aid package was $146,153 per homeless person!
Unfortunately, a lot of the homeless want to remain homeless. That small package would not have done anything to even make a dent in the homelessness crisis in America.
That will buy a lot of drugs, which is what they do.
Making more people lose their homes and lives overseas.

@@sarbantz I didn't use the term "homeless" you did. Derp
When the hand outs stop, only then homelessness as a lifestyle will stop.
No it won't because not every homeless person is on drugs or have mental problems. A lot of people living off the grid have jobs. They just can't afford the outrageous rent/housing prices
Most are in California. They are also dealing drugs, killing and maiming people and setting fires. Not to mention stealing and squatting. Not fair to those who just want to work and live. We have to pay for people who stopped trying.
That’s a crazy leap of faith. How can you believe such a rainbows and unicorns slogan. Did you think there were no homeless people during eras with no handouts? Do you think places with no charities are just done with homeless people? That’s not even how animals work, much less people. But go on lying to yourself
Homeless ≠ Jobless/Connectionless: government has no room to complain about citizens not being able to afford housing, if they advocate for shipping them 30mi away from the places they need to be near to afford being housed once more. Why is no one doing commute and community impact studies?
100 yrs ago nobody would say anything about someone sleeping in a tent
That's not true they used to kick out the American Indians and anyone that they didn't like, so nothing has changed.
100 years ago lol. Yes we had a population density of 1 per state.
@@joesmith3590 how old are you that you're this uneducated?
@@joesmith3590 there's a restaraunt in San Francisco that has been open for 175 years.
Trust me in 1924 you would not be in a tent out on the sidewalk, in cities there were ladies and men, some arm in arm walking down the street, mothers pushing a baby carriage, police officers walking their beat, or riding their horse, IN the suburbs and in the city streets kids played outside, dogs ran free, in the summer an occasional fire hydrant would be open on hot days so kids could cool off. EVERYBODY was outside.
The homeless issue in SF falls into 4 categories. 1 - Drug users 2 - People with mental issues 3 - People with no ambition and move to California/SF for easier life and abuse systems put in place 4 - Those who have genuinely fallen on hard times.
But illegal migrants upon arrival receive maximum SS $3k a month free plane rides to anywhere they want hotels catering for their food presences 😂 this report is nothing but BS and distraction from what the federal government is really doing under Biden leadership 😂 I could pay rent on maximum SS that I paid into my entire working life
What are the percentages of each group in SF?
Lower mortgage, lower interest rates, and lower rent will help hard working Americans and the economy as a whole. What would the government do without the working class? There wouldn’t be any money to send to others countries. I want control of my own money. I’m tired of being Pimp’d by state and government.
Recall Newsom and vote Breed out of office.
Decent solution will come from the Dems long before they come from Reps. Reps want to eliminate SS and Medicare and make the homeless problem even worse.
Got rich old men making a decision on home less fk court soon ?????
it is no sin to be old , a man or to be rich, at one time they were quite young and they were working not lying on the sidewalk.
All the homeless people just need to identify as an illegal alien.😂
After knowing homeless people personally they choose it and they refuse the help that’s repeatedly given to them in order to freely use drugs over shelter and food it’s sad but true they don’t want help they want drugs
Get a job
@@TimSnell-dp4ly did you even read what I wrote
@@TimSnell-dp4ly sounds like it’s you who needs to get a job or learn how to read
That's not true. Many also have mental issues.
You are painting with too broad a brush. Not every homeless person is a drug user. Many refuse shelters because they have developed a reputation of being poorly managed and dangerous.
I've never seen a homeless who is physically disabled. Instead, I’ve only seen homeless people who are in the prime of their lives. If homelessness is a biological need, what about other people? Do they not have biological needs, or are they not considered people by the liberal judge?
You have homeless people; you have street people. I am homeless. If you use or deal drugs, drink heavily or mental health issues you must not be allowed the right to ' camping '. These useless freaks are making life bad for everyone.
Another way to combat camping is to restrict the time of day for sleep ( 9pm-7am ) and limiting the amount of property possessed by an individual.
ps DO NOT FORCE PEOPLE INTO ' SO-CALLED ' SHELTERS.
get them off all streets and all sidewalks, including all parks.
According to the Federal Trade Commission and the Federal Communications Commission, the lawful hours to operate as a telemarketer are 8am to 9pm. 9pm to 8am is telemarketing closing time. I sometimes refer to it as Purge Time, because nobody is supposed to be using computers and phones for business purposes during such designated times unless perhaps for emergency services contact, but cities continue removing publicly accessible electrical outlets in efforts to further criminalize homelessness, so who can afford to call ambulances and such? It can be up to a $1.5M court fee or fine to be justly convicted of a telemarketing violation! 😳
The streets are no place for the homeless give them a place with bathrooms
How about the people put their resources together and get their own bathrooms?...instead of drugs. alcohol cigarettes
Should we also provide soft toilet paper? What if they demand two-ply, should we also cave to that human right?
They have been provided more than you will ever know they don’t want bathrooms they don’t want shelter or to be safe they only want drugs and the freedom to use drugs as much as they want

Using the term homeless is appropriate. If you think that it indicates underlying hate you couldn't be further from the truth..that is your assumption...not the rest of us.
Please excuse me if I offend. It took decades of investments for citizens to civilly organize and present an idea, ANY idea on the topic, about homelessness in America to our SUPREME COURT, because it (our supreme court) almost never considers the topic. Countless ideas were considered by HUNDREDS-OF-MILLIONS of Americans. For examples, why do so many homeless people in Oregon near the coastline end-up missing? Why is our national lifespan average for homeless people age 50 years while the housed community lives as long as apprx. 80 years? Why do so many homeless people report abuse and neglect? Are drug rehabs effective? Are government benefits accessible enough? Are we providing enough medical assistance? Are social service organizations helpful enough? Does victim advocacy work? Is education affordable enough? Does citizenship demand additional resources from migrants? ... And many more ... What was at the top of the list, though? ... 🤔 ... "Are blankets (a textile product) real estate?" ... Apparently, our current supreme court judges don't know if blankets are real estate, anymore, huh? 🤨 I've had ENOUGH of weak homeless advocacy and greed disguised as charity! The truth is that a supposed "homeless advocate" attempted to sell our supreme court judges free charitable blankets in order to steal the limelight about so many important issues concerning such a topic.
Sincerely, &^$Y%&^%!!!!! 😡
Homelessness has been solved by Finland based on an American model. The United States gives up and changes depending on the weather -- whether someone is good or bad in the oval office, whether someone is good or bad in Congress, and whether someone is good or bad living on the streets. Just help them, no matter if it's raining or snowing. Why actually does not matter, just do not give up.
Now do the number of illegal immigrants in Finland every year.
@@johngalt3940 Now, you suggest a better solution. Let's hear it.
@@johngalt3940 Look at the entire bigger picture of Finland, including its size.
Homeless people should not be allowed to sleep on the streets if alternatives like shelters are available to them. Staying in a shelter should not be optional to them if a shelter is available. It should be mandatory, but in many instances these homeless people are drug-addicted and don't want to submit to a shelter's rules regarding drugs and curfews. They have rights, but their rights end where the rights of others in society begin. If you are homeless and panhandling and I give you some money, (which happens frequently), and then you turn around and use that money to buy drugs, you have completely lost my empathy. Tough love is what is needed to deal with the homelessness problem, along with meaningful support for those who fell in the situation through no fault of their own and really want to get back on their feet and do something with their lives.
Do you give enough for them to actually do something as important as acquiring a place to stay. When you GIVE someone something it's not for you to dictate what they choose to do with it. What you are saying is that it's your decision what they do with said "gift ". What their choice is is none of your business, and you are part of the problem.
@@JK-lp6uw I disagree… Your irresponsible mindset is the problem.
So homeless with a pet on drugs can’t use shelter. How does throwing them in jail help?

So basically throw away the life boats because a ship must not sink. You want everything to be solved by programs and shelters which do not work so far, but you just want to force it to work by pushing people into them. That only makes sense if the only reason they don’t work is due to lack of people using them. Which is a false premise
Stop doing drugs get a job. Afford your own property
All of the homeless people are not doing drugs, yet. They were driven to bankruptcy by greedy politicians and they can't get jobs because of other restrictions! Wake the 🤬 up! This is a plandemic engineered to displace the people and then depopulate the country. You will see the big picture, but probably not until it's too late. So keep on being delusional and have a high old time 🤤🤪.
Some don't do drugs and have a job still doesn't mean they can afford their own property
Thats the attitude thats making things worse not better.

Why not allow people to provide their own creative housing outside the city as long as it doesn't interfere with business's and other people
Yes, get them off the sidewalks, many of the homeless just want to camp out where ever they like. They trashed out the areas where they camp out. This affects businesses and public spaces. It is out of control and taxpayers need to reclaim their cities.
unhoused people are taxpayers. it is a wrong view to see homeless people as a monolith. many are employed full-time with taxes coming out of their paycheck just like everyone else. your classism is blinding you to the lived reality of your neighbors. i met and interviewed a sheltered tenant who tried to comply with the shelter system, but was r***d. in combination with the other abuses and dehumanizing treatment inside the shelter, she chose to street homelessness.
this was in 2008, i interviewed her in 2024. you have to understand that unhoused people are not degenerates or stupid; there are things that you are unaware of that push them to that. if you knew what staff does to them in shelters-- if you ever went through it-- you wouldn't be so ... well, it's giving fascist.
That issue is a lack of public spaces. When all the unused city land has been sold off to land developers or turned into highways it forces the homeless right into cities. if thats taken away from them there will be more home invasions and issues with squatters. meanwhile the cities are filled with abandoned lots and unused private spaces that obviously cant be used by the homeless either.

@@sarbantz okay, first off, well done in speaking up on the necessity for a shift in language on the subject! we need *more* people like you to make sure unhoused people are referred to with respect and dignity!
secondly, i am actively unhoused. i don't say "homeless" because i hate unhoused people. i use both terms in the sentences i compose on the subject because some people are in different places with how they understand and refer to the issue and using both helps introduce the new vocabulary to people who have not encountered it before.
words mean things! just because i am unhoused, doesn't mean i don't have a home; i am my true home, as the buddhists say. in that respect, i will never be "homeless". also, i have a mailing address (re: the shelter in which i live), so according to some of these Supreme Court justices, that makes me just as housed as anyone else.
for me, while experience-affirming, being referred to as "unhoused" instead of "homeless" does not make a difference in my daily lived reality; beyond adding a sliver more dignity and some liberal-approved tone-sweetening, it kind of just intellectualizes the issue and when people are admonished like that it can be disengaging.
i hope people like you are as passionate in their advocacy for *Housing First policy* in their local governance as they are in their language policing in the comments. we need people like you writing policy and ensuring each word is written with high regard to the lives of unhoused people!

All these empty sky rise apartments that nobody can afford smh. Most people working from home now. So many empty office buildings. Smh. Theres plenty of space.
Make them Federally funded Tax Credit Apartments where renters pay 30%, 40%, 50%. 60% 80% of their income according to their income and also by accepting HUD Sec 8 vouchers it benefits renters more but building owners still get their rent paid. Building owners and property managers still make their profits from the Federal Tax Credit Program. If some one only had $1000 a month in Social Security (that's why they're homeless !) then they'd pay $300 (30%) of their income for apartment and have $700 to pay utilities etc ... and would probably qualify for food stamps and medicaid assistance and they could make it.

There is a certain logic to taking the folks sleeping on the streets (or in cars) to sleeping in jail. A jail hop would include shelter, clothes, a shower, food, safe storage of belongings, etc. Especially during the extreme cold, BTW, not all sleeping on the street are unhoused, or homeless.
As for them complaining about impact fees it does impact our neighborhood none of us that live in this neighborhood want this built because of the impact to us so them acting like it’s no big deal it is ! They make money we have to deal with it for years to come ! It is harming our community we don’t want it the roads can’t handle it it sits right next to a 2 lane overpass that’s already congested ! Of course you didn’t film that part ! We are glad they aren’t funded to build it !
Homeless minus vacancies equals.. now plenty of space.
It's interesting to listen to the questions posed by the justices in their own voices. They're very insightful, and not at all along liberal vs conservative lines as the media would want us to believe. The justices are evenly weighing the health and welfare of individuals and giving careful consideration to safety in our streets; whether it's a person in a wheelchair not being able to go down the sidewalk because it's full of tents to facilitating municipalities getting help to homeless people who might have mental illness and drug addiction challenges.
If the US government stop giving billions of tax payer money to other countries. They could use that money to build houses for these poor Americans.
Developers will need more than the reduction of fees...once in a different area they will stay there..Nevada..etc
Homeless people need to gather where there are bathrooms.
what about the hard-working taxpayers who have their quality of life destroyed by drug addicts and the mentally ill?
Sober & educated with two healthy children. SADISTIC Envy & 33 years defending my right to exist.
Yes, correct. Homelessness caused by substance abuse and mental illlness for people who dont want or can’t choose treatment. Homeless have been killing people left and right in Los Angeles. These aren’t people just not affording rent. They wouldn’t be able to hold down a job or pay rent. People need to stop with the liberal nonsense. Our government makes it too easy to live in filth and addiction by not incarcerating and conserving people. We all pay for it. Can’t use public space because they are filled with needles and human waste.

Every homeless person needs to file suit against that city and state in federal court for rights deprivation.
It is not hard to get any police officer to violate civil rights.
These cases are worth thousands, if not millions.

Pandemic is over, time to enforce local public safety rules such as no sleeping on public streets or in parks. In last few years, CA WASTED 24 billion taxpayer dollars on homeless crisis, barely placing a dent in the crisis, allowing the grow much larger. MORE TAXATION is NOT THE SOLUTION to HOMELESSNESS CRISIS--billions are already available each year only they are being misspent on failed "Housing First" policy. These homeless funds need to be spent on mandatory (not voluntary) mental health and drug/alcohol addiction care. Laws need to be changed to mandate state/local government care of homeless people in appropriate facilities--it is the state's failure to permit mentally ill and drug/alcohol addicted people to be living on the streets. Former state senator Holly Mitchell's "Housing First" law, senate bill 1380, which was passed in 2016, is a HUGE CONFIRMED FAILURE all across CA, and instead we need laws that will offer every homeless person mandatory mental health and drug/alcohol addiction care they may need. Paying $7,500 a month to give a homeless person a motel room is simply the WRONG APPROACH and this money needs to be spent on mandatory mental health and drug/alcohol addiction care this population needs FIRST.
You want less money to be spend but you also want more money to be spent. You hate what state governments do but you want them to do it right this time

"Homeless, homeless, out-of-range,

where often is heard a disparaging word,

The law wants a founder to collect taxes but take what they and the government owes a owner. He is homeless because its his not his brothers lying child.
Think about the CHILDREN walking through the side walks and having to deal with the homeless and criminals among them, WE the people need a solution, etc...
Probably should have thought about that before making housing unaffordable. Ever heard the saying you reap what you sow?
How come the reporter doesn't contact the city and how they calculated the amount he was charged?
Bad journalism.
Vacancies minus homelessness equals more Vacancies. Please review.
I think that as long as they are not changed the situation in our country they should probably just leave it alone then dropped the cost of living on the people backs since we’re all feeling the stranded one thing that if they have cheap rental options then maybe we could start something else but charging people that have no money to live on for living on the streets I’m currently homeless and I don’t have drugs or do anything that would keep me high it’s is the cost of living that is making me stay outside 😢
Being homeless means you are not getting any support from the system. But, how do you help someone in this position? If a homeless person is on the streets, they're likely to encounter a lot of the criminal underground. Which means they can become a drug addict or dealer! It could also mean that they might get recruited into a criminal organization! Is leaving people on the streets a good thing? Obviously not!
I propose housing homeless people in jails, but not charging them with a crime! Unfortunately, having children on the streets doesn't guarantee anything, so is it wise to let people procreate in these conditions? No, they can get their family killed because of these circumstances! It's better to keep these people safe from others, so they can focus on themselves and improve! If you truly love someone, you would make sure they're taken very well cared for!
A jail offers the best alternative to let people self improve, so they can develop skills and knowledge to find a better career! Jail offers a guaranteed meal and bed! If you don't have education in a world that is rapidly progressing, then you're not going to survive! Which is why dropouts need to get educated, and why not let them get it in jail, especially if they're homeless? This person is not succeeding and might die on the streets! Get them off the streets!
House these people in jails! Don't waste money on tiny homes! You can't become successful without DISCIPLINE! Believe it or not, there are consequences for being a failure! There's no consolation prize! But if you don't want to do these things, take a bus out of an expensive state and move to a cheaper one! It's absurd! You're a health hazard to society! I'm sorry, but deadly drugs and human waste in public places isn't right! You clearly can't understand that whatsoever which is why you need DISCIPLINE!
Make the changes or continue to suffer these harsh living conditions in a first world country! As embarrassing as that is to say! 💩💊🥴😵
This is going to create an exodus of people camping in public spaces and it will get worse! A need to have a place with beds and food so they can find support for them and get them off the streets .
That’s never gonna happen tough. Your choice is not between banning them from the public and put them in a shelter vs no shelters and let them invade parks. Your choice is between pushing them around more often and jailing them vs the way things are (which is arguably preferable, a lesser evil)
Homeless shelters are sometimes bad enough that even the most functional people avoid them. I guess it’s like orphanages or churches. Some are GREAT, but not all are run great and the good ones are crowded and over stretched and they won’t get any more funding. And realistically it’s WAY easier to wish that everyone gets access to a charity/system than to wish the charity/system is run better. It’s just an easy fix
Forcing people to work or get off drugs should be law simple
But illegal migrants upon arrival receive maximum SS $3k a month free plane rides to anywhere they want hotels catering for their food presences 😂 this report is nothing but BS and distraction from what the federal government is really doing under Biden leadership 😂 I could pay rent on maximum SS that I paid into my entire working life
Not all homeless are addicts. In fact being robbed, losing a job, injury, illness ,lack of affordable housing, etc can cause homeless.
@@journeybrook9357 When you're about to lose your home or apt. due to lack of employment find any cheeze ball job and move to a cheap double wide not the streets,
There has to be places vacant somewhere in the state where people can use these places to live no one can afford the prices out there in the u.s. today also land lords raise rents every 2 to 3 years so then generally you end up back on the street shelters are no good they are horrible places to try to live in fights and thefts 😊
In my opinion, CA just needs to do what is necessary to attract builders to build the houses. CA is over populated and long time residents, residents who were born in CA, residents whose parents and grandparents were born in CA, are not even able to find housing to live here. Even better, stop making CA attractive to aliens entering who bring drugs , tax our system of ressources, and don't contribute to society in a meaningful way, but just take, including taking our young girls, and sometimes boys, and women back through the holes in the boarders to sex traffic them. Then we can focus ressources on the homeless who are actual American Citizens that no longer have access to the drugs coming through the boarder holes or the people who make the drugs. This might not be the only reason for homelessness, but it's a major contributing factor.
The homeless sorely need carts with wheels
The homeless need to BUY THEMSELVES CARTS except that the carts will be stolen probably
Rent control for low income folks and make housing available
US & cities/counties do not lack empty buildings, open land that better supervised encampments with services can be set up for homeless to receive services, medical, social service, housing placements, and caseworkers to help them move up and out of their situation. Separate the addicts from others as they require a different type of help and are harder to help.
THERE WILL BE sex assaults, urination, deaths from drugs, thievery etc. they are not children, they will continue to depend on others, because it is easier than taking responsibility for themselves as grown adults.
Perfect now I'm going to go live outside ow that I have got housing and your telling me I can't sleep outside that make me want to leave.
More courtroom time & less time on actually construction intergity. Eyes off talented able workers & onto ppaying lawyers & reading mubo jumbo. Heck sounds like my life trying to be a mom & run my home after I educated myselffor the task I invested my life on.
this is so important to understand: people who choose street homelessness have often TRIED to comply and go into "homeless shelters" but they are ABUSED inside of the shelters-- there is bullying, sexual abuse, subhuman treatment, starvation, and drugs inside the shelters. they should not be then criminalized for exiting the system and getting away from that environment. we need HOUSING FIRST POLICY, not attacks on homeless people for trying to survive. this "ideological" debate is disgusting and obtuse. HOUSE PEOPLE.
Open your home to them hypocrite😂
@@ryangianan1439 i'm known to do that, as a matter of fact. housing lgbtq+ youth and dv survivors was part of my role in the movement. just because you are incapable of empathy doesn't mean everyone else lacks the trait. read up on mutual aid. 😉
What happened to the projects that were in new york are those buildings usable there are many other places empty army bases that could be used sitting and decaying 😊

I use to be for the homeless, but the encampments in major urban areas has gotten out of control ever since COVID. You can’t just let the homeless take over public spaces like this. And especially when drugs, mental illness, crime is involved and they refuse treatment or shelter when it’s available they should not be allowed to continue to remain in their tents. Again when shelter beds are available they must accept. Shelters are not going to be the nice places that you want. They’re homeless shelters and it’s going to be filled with homeless people. It’s a place that’s supposed to be temporary until something more permanent is available. It’s supposed to motivate you to get your life in order. But in these encampments people are just encouraged to continue their situation and give up on improving it. And those that promote this are just enablers. It’s not about cruel and unusual punishment, it’s about public safety.
Yes it is a shame what the city has become. I can’t imagine having to walk my children to school in that environment.
Um do you know why homelessness has gotten out of hand since covid started?
Um no. One there are different types of people that prefer to live off the grid. There are people that work there are people that don't do drugs or even drink that work and prefer to live off the grid. It's your right to choose how you want to live as long as you don't obviously hurt someone do crime.
Speak for yourself 🤓 🖕
@@stevenledbetter80 live off the grid also means do not use what tax payers are paying for. live in the forests grow your own food.
Please, I humbly beg you use proper terminology when addressing unhoused population. Do not use term homeless, and use unhoused, because when you say homeless it reveals your inner hate for unfortunate ones. Please
Shared.
I'm not homeless your community is actually just less one home. Sorry I didn't conform.
Policies to create safeguards and assistance to avoid homelessness take decades, and the needle hardly moves. However, inconvenience and eye sores and action happen overnight.

The focus of the law is they want to stop people from being homeless, WHY? Homeless is not a disease, it could be a lifestyle choice, maybe people prefer being homeless. I picked up a couple Hobo Women, bought them a meal so I could hear their story, they loved their lifestyle, the freedom, the adventure, they had income from military disability that supported their lifestyle & travels.
Muh freedumbs
bull sh--t, my dad fought in war hand to hand combat in a jungle war ended, he married, immediately went to work raised 2 children, paid taxes, he dint travel round looking for free handouts. later in life he suffered, in and out of VA hosps. but never once complained.
Oh yeah the sidewalk is a good place to use as s bed. The public has the right to travel through the city. It should be a defined place to qualify as a place to camp. So water ways, sidewalk, roads and such are not areas of immunity. Then there should only be a certain amount of stuff allowed as shelter to prevent trash cities from becoming a problem.
Sidewalks are expensive real estate & necessary for walking safety. I wish cities would maintain sidewalks from branches. Tall people matter. Also moss & shrub overgrowth on sidewalks makes it difficult for me to pull my cart of groceries. Currently I'm housed! No car & leggs that work. I'd like safe sidewalks free from unsafe people begging me for money!
Instead of giving away our hard earned taxes to Israel, Ukraine, Taiwan why don't they put those hundreds of Billions of dollars in this country and take care of those people?
I don’t think we would magically just fix anything if we got that money back. We had that money before the war, and did we use it to care for our people? No. We just said they don’t deserve help. We don’t care about anyone that much. We just love to complain about money being spend on charity by pointing to another charity, but then we also don’t spend money on that either.
punish them how ?
hey supreme court jesus was homeless plenty and many before him and since jesus , if u do not have decent job training and decent life basics in schools we pay taxes for and decent min wage that gos up with the cost of living and that training free one night a week in churches and high schools then u will have too much homelessness , most shelters are not a home they are semi mini jails

There’s hard working taxpayers that are homeless or facing being homeless……I’m tired of paying taxes to take of other countries and not helping the Americans that need my tax dollars to
They want to make homelessness a crime without providing any type of shelter. That is bad law making and classic trying to treat symptoms without addressing the cause of problems.
Impact fees not being used in the areas they are being charged is just plain wrong. If a new building is impacting an area- those charges need to go there.
Being homeless and camping out on the street instead of a shelter is something you " do."
Give the homeless homes not prison time.😮
Open your home to them
Every homeless person who works daily can afford to split/share an apartment. The remaining ones with mental health and drug/alcohol addiction issues need to be placed in government MANDATORY care facilities until they get better.
Easier said then done. Many people are 1 paycheck away from being homeless.
Get a roommate? Give me a break!! Get a clue!
@@JK-lp6uw If you are one paycheck away from not paying rent, THEN it is TIME to SPLIT the RENT! Use logic please. Simple math!!
@@markinlosangeles9108 People are living paycheck to paycheck paying over 1000 a month and that is WITH splitting rent, for someone so hell bent on logic you sure did throw it out the window.
You speaking against the developers And the authentication process for ownership.
Homelessness should not be a crime; Sleeping in or near a public access point or building should be. If you need to camp, go to a designated campsite.
"Homelessness should not be a crime... if you 'need' to 'camp' go to a designated 'campsite'..." they aren't camping, they need housing. Telling them to "just move somewhere else" isn't doing anything to fix the problem, and there aren't enough "campsites" for them to go to that also have the facilities and resources of the city. It's so odd that you simultaneously understand homelessness shouldn't be made illegal but still act like the situation they're in is "camping", they're literally just trying to exist and live, saying go "camp" elsewhere is still essentially criminalizing homelessness while giving it a make-over.
You're ridiculous
There are no designated campsites
@@John-pz6nm if billions of dollars are being used for shelters that are nonexistent and far from being adequate for the homeless population, than the state is ridiculous. How about making a designated space for homeless to camp and shelter, since the majority can’t be forced to get help and choose not to.
@@robyngillum8577 You have no concept of reality
Nobody wants a place for homeless to reside or camp
Nearby residents oppose every location
It's call NIMBY
It's why they camp in parks and along the roadways. They have nowhere else to go
Do you want a camp in your neighborhood or next door?
How is he in Washington D.C.? I’ve never been there. I’m on the west coast too. Guess it pays to be homeless.
Get out of the street!
Illegal migrants upin arrival receive the maximum SS of $3K per month 😂 while US elderly are the fastest growing group of homeless on less SS after paying into the system their entire working life 😂 this report is nothing but complete BS and distraction from what's really going on
