24 billion went missing “ helping “ homeless in CA
It’s not missing
So this rationalizes dehumanizing other humans? Pretty sure, it wasn't the homeless that can't account for the money.
Why wasn't the money there to pay for promised projects? Why isn't there a safe place for homeless people to be located that wouldn't interfere with businesses and private property? People need 2 eat & sleep,wash toilet,access resources,be protected. We r human beings
Transparency & accountable 4 the money including given to shelters & donated. Who was the money given to? What did they do with it? Where is the document that shows any & all transactions? Why didn't the homeless people get the money? What actually did the homeless get 4 the money? How much did administration & staff get. Don't tell the money is gone and nobody knows where. Who got the money is the criminal,not the homeless they didn't steal it. Getting nothing from the money that was to house's them. They can arrest them. Yes it is inhumane and cruel
Yes absolutely
Homeless activists should bring homeless people to their own homes to demonstrate that they are sincere and not hypocritical.
How do they demonstrate being hypocritical?
The same can be said of the religious zealots and adopting children in foster homes. In my state on any given day there are some ten thousand children in need of stable loving homes yet, Republicans are mandating forced births and banning contraception measures.
Exactly, as simple as that instead of wasting other people money for their dream.
Being poor or homeless or sleeping on the street or in your car should never be illegal. The land of the free not longer.
Reductionism: (also, Oversimplifying, Sloganeering): The fallacy of deceiving an audience by giving simple answers or bumper-sticker slogans in response to complex questions, especially when appealing to less educated or unsophisticated audiences.
As somebody so has had feces and bottles thrown at him because I told a homeless person they are blocking my entrance way, I fully support this reversal.
Throwing bottles and feces is already a crime, don't conflate these issues.

Something has to be done! I’ve seen drug addicts camping outside a school in the city passed out on the sidewalk with their pants pulled down exposing themselves with used needles layed out everywhere! Children should never have to witness this! These advocates should be ashamed of themselves for contributing to the problem.
I agree, poverty, homelessness, sleeping in your car, all should be made illegal, which is now possible by Scotus decision. The end of the land of the free, which was a scam anyway.
these advocates profit from the drug addicts. They don't change. too profitable
there are decent people who are unable to afford the RAISED SKY HIGH RENT or find another place to live as well. disabled, moms with kids, elderly. they aren't doing anything wrong. . you people do nothing for the poor among you. God w ill deal with all of you who are so hateful to the neediest .
Get them off the street.
Audit all these homeless activists and their organizations. What are they doing with all the government money they are getting to "solve" the issue?
You don't know ?
@@beinquisitive yes, we’ve allowed churches to abuse their non-profit status for far too long. They’ve amassed unbelievable amounts of wealth and power and abused their status by becoming political powerhouses.
it's housing authorities as well. most of the builders, nonprofit and private incentivised housing owners, and housing authorities are paying high prices for too few units, not lots of cheap ones; and letting middle class occupy them instead of the poor. HUD is calling 72,000+ income " low income". They want thier family members and staff to get the cheap housing that's probably why. They don't reserve it for the poorest only. Those don't get in .
Millions of years as the rep of San Fran and still, not a word ever from Pelosi about her district.
Not only she & Biden promoted defund the police. California under Newsom a sanctuary for illegals poring in over and above including cartels massive amount of drugs, Biden passed whatever their crime they can't be arrested or deported. Newsom Biden Pelosi don't give a damn about the citizens or the nation.

Homeless advocates = enablers
jennifer friedman has made a career out of complaining...she lives in a huge empty apartment, let her house them
yup - helpers reduce /solve the problem while enablers grow the problem
Incorrect. The City itself reallocates money towards affordable housing into their own projects. They have NO ability in jails for mentally ill individuals or severe substance use. There will be deaths and injuries including police and prison staff
Homeless industrial complex = fat paychecks for these “advocates”.
I mean it should be basic human nature to not want others to suffer pretty sure they just wanted the government to do something about this unaffordable housing crisis
Time to remove all these shanty shacks on the sidewalks in Oakland too
maybe to your backyard or coach.
It's complicated. But a few people have stolen walkways and parks from the rest of the citizens. Housing is certainly the best solution, but they can't be allowed to steal public spaces from the rest of the people. Compassion needs to be there too, of course.
Not in my back yard!

Funds for affordable housing have been systematically reallocated into realtors and to give tax breaks for big property companies
@@pumamanta1771 Don't you mean systematically reallocated to the pockets of politicians and their cronies ?
@kimberlygause I was a kid when they tried to build affordable housing in San Francisco back when Silicon Valley started. The locals went nuts and blocked it every chance they could, got the council to turn most of the city into historic districts to block any new construction.
If you are homeless go find Catholic Charities. Most cities/towns have a Catholic group already on the ground...they helped me in California once....they get you a motel room, they bought a couple of motels for this, free rent, or their shelter, where I went. Then they bought apartment buildings. Not free, you must get a roomate, pay a very low rent, share expenses. It worked!!
there isn't anywhere near enough of that . the homeless are too numerous and the housing units are far too few. they are way overwhelmed.
You ever notice the folks running homeless services? They ain't in no hurry to fix it! 'Cause if they solve homelessness, guess what? They gotta find a real job! Can you imagine them flipping burgers?
If they can fix/solve homelessness, then they need to be running the country not flipping burgers. SNS 🤷♀️ IJS
Grants Pass homeless camping law wasn't abusive, they allow homeless to camp in designated parks but they must move to a new park every week, this distinction means they are camping and the park is NOT their home. Homeless advocates think making them move every week was criminalizing homelessness, it is not, they would only get a ticket if they wouldn't move, some resisted moving to test the law, they failed.
it also points out who is too mentally ill or drugged out to keep camping, which kicks them into treatment or a hospital sooner than later. 3 months rotting on the street or in a park will change a person
its bad here in grants pass, and needles are everywhere in parks where kids cant even go to play there. Have them go to portland where they are welcomed.
isn;t California trying to clear out an old desert town that sprang up because no rich folk wanted in the first place?
I agree with this approach.
@@kevinwallis2194 thats so sad. grants pass is beautiful. soon it will be bend, too. i'm an sf native so i understand seeing you're beautiful home deteriorate.
The encampments are a public safety hazard.
and now: sleeping in your car is illegal.
It's cruel to leave PEOPLE in the streets.
It's cruel to take our children's money that we could save for their future and pay for the "Non-Profit" organizations to provide them "legal" drugs.
Are you housing any homeless people?
its cruel to take parks away from kids, or have them step on needles. Tax payers pay for the parks here in grants pass, and homeless contribute nothing but problems.
Im saying its cruel to allow people to stay in the streets. As in it is inhumane to allow it and walk past like nothing is wrong. Jail them for all I care. @CA-kj4sf
It’s wasteful to allow addicts to refuse shelter so they can complain about being homeless. Don’t believe me? There are numerous videos where that specific point is highlighted. I’ve had it raised in my court where a defendant wants to have it both ways-to remain an addict who freely roams the streets, free to use but also a victim of homelessness, despite repeatedly being offered housing. As a judge, it gets old hearing that story
Homeless is a very lucrative business for SF politicians and those non-profits. They do not ever want for it to go away. They will pretend like they care but they do not want that in their own neighborhood. Imagine how quickly the problem will resolve if the homeless decides to camp in Presidio Heights.
Problem would be solved immediately!!😂❤
Is it homelessness or drug abuse and mental illness?
Is it Trump supporter or mental illness

Yes
That's discrimination
All of the above, plus a housing crisis across all big cities. All the up front money! If you only make 15-20 pr hr, but you need 3k to get a simple apartment.
It's called PUBLIC places, not homeless places.
Enough is enough!
You choose drugs, not shelters because you as a homeless MUST follow rules of no drugs, no addictions, and a curfew.
Take shelters to the country AND make them work for their food, utilities and a place to sleep

Could it be the millions of illegals being housed plus in California the thousands released from prison that are committing crimes? Newsom has increased money for illegals,budget cuts for the citizens and more money for illegals to get housing, not any for the homeless just grants & vouchers
Clean up this mess. No one should live like this legally in this great country. Open up mental health facilities, and make sure they have what they need.
Sure sounds like a great idea. Now all you have to do is find the funding for that.
So many bright ideas from people sitting around giving suggestions but no help in actually taking action.
Confine in drug treatment facilities. More compassionate.
we are about 40 years behind in building enough poor housing.
SF needs to do something. People avoid it now. Way overdue for a cleanup.
IT'S A PUBLIC HEALTH PROBLEM FOR EVERYONE.🤔
3 hots and a cot. What's the downside of this? Mental health care? Detox?
So what do homeless advocates want to do? Let homeless encampments take over all the neighborhoods and cities and don’t let other people enjoy their lives in this city? They have no solution and keep letting more and more homeless encampments grow.
Homeless advocates are not against removing tent encampments. They are against criminalizing poverty.
If you are homeless and use drugs daily then go to hell. Accept shelter and restrictions or accept prison (the best program to help someone get clean/sober). There is no other options

The Homeless Industrial Complex won’t like this ruling. .
Personal responsibility folks, all I see is grown ups able bodied individuals who have refused to accept personal responsibility and expect other adults to take care of them?unfair
One subtle benefit of this ruling is that it puts the onus onto public officials, whose choices on whether or not to clear public spaces will determine voters' choices of whether or not their government is competent and effective in protecting the safety and economic viability of their city..
Rewarding and propping up the homeless just creates more homeless. America in decline due to bad government not doing their job and being out exchange, being corrupt and getting away with it and giving themselves a raise all adds up to a decline in our society from the top down.
Great decision
All you have to do is turn off welfare to drug addicts and alcoholics mandate drug tests and most these people will move back to the state they fled here for free gibs.
Now will wonder how this is going to be implemented.
The liberal states have temperate climates and the homeless surge
has exploded.
They are already doing that and jails are at maximum capacity and lots of substance use disorder. Wardens are overwhelmed and having breakdowns now wanting to end their existence
All we need to do is just not be poor.
Just can't believe there is not enough jail cells. Nor can I except there is no place to put drug addicts & drunks somewhere. Putting them all together and making them all criminals is wrong. They must be separated from non addicts
Build more jails.
It’s a system problem

And huge numbers live in poverty

Does anyone think that ticketing people that have no money is going to be a solution? What happens to families? If taxpayers don’t want homeless on the streets, they going to have to pony up the money to house people. THAT’S REALITY!
What families?
I never see families on the streets, they would probably stay in a shelter. Probably just another lib fairy tale.

It also says that camping i the city is also aloud and paid for legally for homeless even on streets etc and that mainly they try not to be in residential district etc and if so they must provide with privacy like tarps or trees or shade cloths etc and government notices to guarantee cops don't get crazy etc.

or charge the poo r a lot of money, like that's going to get them rent money real soon.
Cities need to move away from dorm style shelters with bunk beds and need to recognize that people want some sense of personal space. Most people living in tents on sidewalks would be happy to be inside, protected from the elements, even if they were just living inside tents under a roof. The utter lack of imagination of officials is stunning. Why not take input from those who prefer living in tents and create new kinds of shelters. The old format is not suitable. And building "affordable housing" isn't affordable to the cities.. and it doesn't happen fast enough. There are tons of empty buildings - commercial and industrial. Get creative with how to repurpose those spaces to rapidly ramp up shelter and clean up the cities.
the people who are living in tents on the sidewalks refused tiny homes options, traditional shelter options. They want to be where they can easily access drugs, beg for money (they want to be where the population is) they want access to businesses to steal from. They do not want to abide by rules of the shelters, cities or other authorities.

@@jgirl18515 No, they do not. What you just described is a caricature of the homeless dreamt up by politicians who would rather demonize a vulnerable group of people than address the systemic issues that lead to homelessness in a meaningful way.
@@jgirl18515 that's false. many of the unsheltered homeless are not drug addicts and won't refuse a separate housing unit or even a separate room with a locking door and a bathroom. There is not anywhere near enough of those units to go around. Misspent money by corrupt stupid officials, is part of the big problem.
Blocking sidewalks is already supposed to be illegal.
647(e) Enacted in 1850: No squatting. Been that way for 174 years now.
Give them a safe place to be. Not enough shelters and they won't ever be enough with millions of illegals having preference. Human needs sleep,food water toilets ability to use resources that exist 4 them. Billions given promised projects never completed & money gone? Putting all the homeless in jail & fining them will not solve the problem they will still exist. Yes it is inhumane & cruel more abuse to human beings. Why not arrest those who are drugged or selling police know who they are. So many are not drug addicts
People get tickets for parking on sidewalks but tents are ok?Seriously
Where is the breaking point? The bay area just keeps getting more and more expensive with each month. When will it stop? What is the critical mass of people who literally cannot afford a roof over their heads that will cause something to change? 10%? 20%? Its absolute madness. 4300 households in a year. And that number will continue to grow.
Stop enabling hard drug users then
Blocking sidewalks is a crime. It makes access to buildings and services impossible for people, especially those with disabilities. Build campgrounds instead of shelters.
Yes! You are exactly right. There is enough land to provide a sage place away from business & private property owners. Billions given for the homeless little to nothing done promised projects never completed & money gone. Where?

Instead of worrying about what to do where they are sleeping on tha street, how about we worry about sleeping on tha streets period. Another piece of evidence that tha State government in CA have no idea what there doing.
Or to be more specific, how people end up sleeping on the street.
You can’t arrest your way out of homelessness!
All of the funding should go to homeless removal, drug rehab, and mental health. No tiny homes. No shelters without rehab or treatment. The days of living free in parks, RVs, and sidewalks have to come to an end. Your junk gets removed and put in a landfill. They just want a tiny home so they can continue living by themselves without treatment and without paying. No more of this stupidity.
Huge amounts of money has been thrown at the problem in my home state of California and now a lot of the money reportedly can’t be found. Where did it go? My town in Sonoma county built a tiny home village with money from the state and moved an entire large encampment into the tiny home village. Success stories can happen but an auditor needs to keep track of the money allocated for homelessness.

Not just morally wrong, it’s the incorrect way to go about this.
The crime is the lack of caring about these people, the lack of choices they have... and yet, frankly, I like the fact that tents will no longer be allowed on public sidewalks and parks etc. It's time to DEMAND MORE FACILITIES FOR ADDICTS AND THE MENTALLY ILL AND AFFORDABLE HOUSING.... I REPEAT... MORE AFFORDABLE HOUSING NOW!!!

Government needs to build mental institution, drug addict rehab, small tiny temporary housing, and jobs for the people before cleaning. Don’t waste of money to come and cleaning because it will come back to the same situations.

According to the Bible, Christianity teaches that Christians should help the poor and treat them with compassion and justice. Some say that helping the poor is a religious duty and that those who do so are righteous and good. The Bible includes many verses that address how Christians should treat the poor, including:
Deuteronomy 15:10
"Give generously to them and do so without a grudging heart; then because of this the LORD your God will bless you in all your work and in everything you put your hand to"
Proverbs 19:17
"Whoever is kind to the poor lends to the LORD, and he will reward them for what they have done"
Proverbs 22:9
"The generous will themselves be blessed, for they share their food with the poor"
Proverbs 31:9
"Defend the rights of the poor and needy"
Proverbs 14:31
"Whoever oppresses the poor shows contempt for their Maker, but whoever is kind to the needy honors God"
Proverbs 22:22-23
"Do not exploit the poor because they are poor and do not crush the needy in court, for the Lord will take up their case and will exact life for life"

The Americans With Disabilities Act (ADA) requires that sidewalks be accessible, which means there must be a minimum clear width to get around any obstruction. However, it is far better to have obstructions out of the sidewalk entirely.

One issue I hope we can all agree on is that the middle class pays entirely too much in income tax.
Why not set up public camping areas..... sidewalks are not camping areas!! You don't solve homelessness by making it illegal. True... very true!!! Offer alternatives.... the tiny home alternative offers privacy and independence and dignity!!😊❤
Don’t know why it took this long
Why doesn't the government build skyscrapers with tones of tiny home style rooms, one tower for MEN and another for WOMEN and separate them by age.
Must reopen mental institutions
better than they used to be though! those were horror show prisons.
They need to set aside a sanctioned place for those with no housing and provide services there, then there is an option. Also work on more housing. Then they can fairly limit the encampments that severely impact areas that were never intended for camping and causing safety issues. They also need to recognize that allowing people who are incapable of making informed decisions to make terrible decisions that endanger themselves and others is not freedom, it is neglect. Common sense needs to make a comeback and actual compassion is sometimes saving someone from themself. Everything does not need to be an option when that right infringes on the rights of others and causes danger and prevents a city from functioning in the way it was intended. And they need to recognize the varying reasons for homelessness-there is no excuse for disabled, children and elderly people to be unhoused in America. The mentally ill population need housing with treatment and not to be kicked out when they are stabilized. Those with addictions need mandatory interventions if they cannot function without endangering themselves or others, and public intoxication used to be something that could be addressed and that needs to be an option again. People trying to use sidewalks, residences, parks,and businesses as intended should have rights too. Then there are people who truly just have financial issues trying to make ends meet, and providing them with often temporary support makes their ability to be housed and employed a reality. There needs to be some examination of why this is happening, some compromise, and then apply some solutions that help resolve this dilemma in a better way. There also needs to be better communication and coordination between agencies managing the funding.
states and counties will need to create thier own laws , the Court just basically turned it all over to local and state lawmakers.
So that's the answer! Start arresting and imprisoning the people who've suffered the most in this country? Due to Trickle Down Economics, corporate greed and Right Wing policies we've created a lack of necessary funding to have a better society. Tax the Wealthy!
