- The ever-growing homeless encampment along the Guadalupe River is the first thing many Silicon Valley visitors see when they land at Mineta San Jose International Airport. Kiet Do reports. (11-24-2019)
People in the plane probably think they're flying over an apocalyptic event.
Or a third world country.
Look up 'Mumbai Airport slums'!
In a sense, they are.
The people in planes are returning from vacation where it is pretty and clean, to the homes they purchased and now cannot sell. They know all about those homeless people below the aircraft near the airport, they also know that they could be a part of that community, if things don't improve soon.
@Bjorn Goumundsen You guys have something called biltong which I really want to try but you can't get it in the US. It's not the same as beef jerky, apparently.
Neighbours prefer tent cities instead of tiny homes.
Tiny homes r great put them everywhere
let's border wall the tent cities after all good fence's make good neighbor's.
lead bullets 4 life no just remove all walls in America. No more property or possessions. Let the homeless into your home since you’re so compassionate and liberal and progressive and against walls
@@bronsplan2683 we'll i would say give yourself a senario where there are no more fences to separate you neighbor, you can say good bye to your safety and privacy, no more border wall's in the south, hot and cold i'll got and i'll gains meaning the list would be to long to write, and so on... i'm all for safety and security for everybody it's the way to live, how would you like stranger's sitting on your porch step's and parking and blocking your driveway and again the list would be to long to write.
Bron’s Plan Tijuana has a first come first serve land race
A little 400 sqft apartment goes for over $2500 a month there and people are surprised there's a lot of homeless.
This is what rapid gentrification and out of control rent prices get you a scene strait out of a dystopian novel.
The fact the tech companies want these sprawling campuses when a high rise tower would be a more efficient use of land doesn't help things.
Calling Poverty "embarrassing" is horrible.....shame on the rich corporations who pay no taxes so that the poor and working classes are left with little to no housing alternatives.....What is embarrassing is the greed of the companies that benefit from the local labor pool , but don't pay their fair share!
You think those people are part of the working class? Lol
Shame on 1980’s republicans for closing down mental health institutions. Homelessness would be fixed if we helped our own citizens mental health issues
Welcome to unregulated corrupted capitalism!
The councilman says "This problem's not going to go away." So why does the city tax its residents tens of millions of dollars to fund their homeless budget?
What do they expect when Heroin is only a misdemeanor
BrewsandBass And they hand out free needles.
Have you ever heard of Holland
San Jose needs to just build more of those tiny homes and send the bill to Amazon and FB
They need to change the building codes to make those tech companies use more space effficient high rise office buildings vs a sprawling campus style headquarters and build more housing of all types.
Then Amazon and FB move, then they raise people tax, then the people move, then they push for exit tax. You can't escape California.
NO! Why should tech companies have to pay for these homeless dirtbags?
@@Patchuchan
Why? Those tech companies have every right to build as they wish. It's THEIR land!
Poor babies, they don't want to see the results of their governing ideas.
Hasn't changed since 94. Not sure what you imply by the government. Nobody wants homeless people in there city, so what's your solution?
@@capitanm2166 Easy, if they want to be homeless, then toss them into the prison, yes I know it'll cost but still... the other solution is far more humane... give them cots inside an abandoned building to live in and demand them to work or else.. prison!
@WithAStick AngryWhiteMan that simple huh? Your solution it's like a 6 year old telling his teacher his solution for not coloring within the lines..
@@jimmybon9314 nope that won't work, 75% of homeless people are mentally challenged. Putting them in prison will only cost us more and cause more problems. The other 35% are drug addicts, it'll sky rocket he cost of medical needs in the prisons. Your solutions basically will cost tax payers way more money, instead of having our tax money out to better use. The only solution is to build more mental health hospitals and more treatment centers. Did you know there is only 3 drug treatment centers in Los Angeles that are designed for homeless people? And ONE mental health hospital? Yet there is thousands of homeless people roaming the streets.
@@capitanm2166 Treatment centers usually won't work, its like a 50/50 chance they'll make it, regardless if it doesn't work out for them.. what else should they be let back into society? I mean, the only other way is really a harsher punishment of sorts... As for the mentally challenge, I agree, they should have mental institution for them, categorize some of them that needs to be in the institution and the other lesser mental disabilities can be slowly but surely be led back into our society.
I'm sure they spent millions to build those stupid 40 tiny houses!!!!
*MORONS* All of them... like it isnt hard to build massive *DORM STYLE* housing with shared living spaces in cheaper areas like san bernardino
over budget and most likely has been delayed by all the bs bureaucracy this state pushes
Meanwhile the homeless are still druggies and mentally ill and probably don't even realize these homes exist in the first place.
The high cost is more to do with the burdensome building and environmental regulations.
150 thousand a piece, i think it is what they said.
“ A eleven miles of human misery “ 😯 WoW🤷🏾♂️great way to describe ppl just trying to survive!
*Awww man, it's been awhile since I last visited Detroit...... OH SHIT!! that's San Jose?!?!*
that's a completely different situation. when they start selling abandoned houses for $1 in San Jose then you can compare it to Detroit.
😂
@@Imperial0666 very true 😂 ...
topnotch97 Detroit is thriving and did a 360. Return, you will be shocked like I was. Much better than la and San Francisco
The downtown has gentrified, the rest is returning to nature.
If they owned a Wall Street management fund the government would bail them out and give them bonuses.
@mike a If that is he case, we should get back all that money the government gave to Lloyd Blankfein and Jamie Dimon. This socialism for the rich and hard core capitalism for the working class is bullshit.
@u2good2b4gotn Until you start looking for someone to blame and then there is no one responsible.
I live near San Francisco and as a small, white woman, I do not feel safe walking through the streets because of all the druggies lining the sidewalks.
Get a gun if you dont feel safe!
you are strong independent woman, you figure it out.
I would move away from there before you become a victim. This problem will not get fixed soon.
But Kalifornia banned plastic straws, isnt that really great?
When drugs and unfair living prices takes over california. This is the results
The "unfair living prices" are high taxes to pay for these people who don't want to live in shelters because of the rules. Its expensive for all the free medical care, shelter feeding programs, social workers salaries. These bums show up for the free food, go to the county hospital and live in the libraries, using them for day shelters.
Bums. Run them off. My son is one of them in Ft Worth Texas. Doesn't like the shelters rules. Lives in the library by day, under bridges at night. Cons churches into feeding him, they take him to restaurants for meals. Takes takes takes. Never raises a hand to help THEM though. If they're stupid enough to give all that to him, that's their pr. He tried sponging off me. He isn't allowed at my home even for a visit. Because if you watch the RUclips videos, you see how they come for a visit, and when it's time to leave, they refuse to go, tell the law, ( when you call to get them out), that "we live here". And you're stuck until you get them legally evicted through the court.
His "girlfriend" had a minor surgical procedure done, and refused to leave when she was released. The hospital called the police, and she went to jail for trespassing.
And those 2 think I'm letting them come to my home for a visit?
No way. I have a nice, clean 3 bedroom home. And I plan on keeping it. For myself because I work my butt off to have this nice home. They're not going to squat here and turn it into Hoarding Buried Alive.
Don't forget that illegals get taken care of better, then an American citizen.
dobie gal no they aren’t. High living prices come from east coast elites and tech elites from the Midwest who come with high income and gentrify previously black and brown neighborhoods
@@SuperDobieGirl no for illegal aliens
@@theusnationalist9572 lol... yes. Them TOO. Thanks for reminding me
Those camps are everywhere. They have portapotties and generators. Some are even on solar.
Homelessness isn't just for crazy drugged out people anymore
That's what it looks like when you decriminalize "simple" possession of methamphetamine ...thank you California lawmakers (sarcastic)
Solution - Rent $105 per month for a 4 room apartment with balcony, Electricity $5 per month, Internet with cable $25, Bus fare 50 cents, Meal in a restaurant $3 - $4 Warm temperatures year round. Close proximity to the beach. Where is this? South of Brownsville, Texas in Matamoros, Mexico. Jump on a Greyhound Bus to Brownsville and avoid living in a tent on the sidewalk.
get rid of the mayor and his staff and wipe out htis santuary city.
@Charles Pieters no hell without the devil"agreed"
@Charles Pieters are you talking about Australia? i've been to perth.
@Charles Pieters she'll probably wear those more often than the other's good choice. you sound like your my age i graduated high school and entered the navy in 1980.
@Sir Honkalot yeeeeeees!!!!
@Charles Pieters this is SanJose Ca, not some bleeding birdhouse in aussie land
All I gotta say, the age old excuse of "we ain't bothering nobody", is out the window. The fact that you're chosing to go into urban city areas is reason enough for you to abide by society's rule. Don't want to be bothered by anyone, go live in the mountains or somewhere remote. I'm all for helping people get back on their feet and for housing to be build but i'm fairly certain a good chunk of these individuals are lost causes and prefer that lifestyle. I say kick them to the curb if they prefer it that way but not within societal limits.
Jago Gonzalez awesome point!
I feel exactly the same way.
Kiet is an amazing journalist
The problem is mislabeled. It’s not a homeless problem. First it is an addiction/mental health problem... you need to address that first!! What good is it going to do to put a person with incapacitating addiction or mental illness into a tiny house? Define the problem correctly first or you will never solve it!
100% correct.
if they dont call it what it is, it wont heal.
@NorCal Rider and what you favorite party has done for them ? Nothing right ? so what are we talking about here if no one cares ?
That’s a good point. But in San Francisco, they hand out free needles so they can shoot up drugs. They even provide safe places for them to shoot without fear of arrest. Don’t believe me? Google it. I hope people wake up to what the politicians they voted in are doing to their state/city.
dogma f10 how many republicans do you see in CA? How many do you see elected into office in San Jose or SF? Exactly.
@@boostedmaniac many of my clients are and not all of them like trump so i dont know what all the confusion is about, but the ones on power never ever care about the homeless , stranded or unemployed like everyone is thinking .
The ones making solutions for the specific areas issues are the local citizens pushing for solutions not a president dummie
Human misery and suffering? I’ve been to these camps and these people are some of the nicest and caring people I’ve ever met. Everyone has an opinion but never ask the “homeless” what’s really going on.
Yeah homeless people really are the cream of the crop. If only society didn't treat them so unfairly and do things like build dedicated housing for them! /s
What's really going on is that most of the Homeless people I've talked to have made major mistakes in their lives. One woman that I talked to had sued our city for cleaning up their Encampment. She said that with the money she'd bought an old Motorhome and would never be Homeless again. It wasn't licensed, Inspected or Insured and she said as long as she was living in it they couldn't tow it away for being illegally parked. These people need a Keeper!
I walked from Diridion Cal Trans to the Airport back in 2012 down this path. It was pretty bad back then.
sethvicious That’s your narrative and outlook on life.
This is neither a democratic or Republican problem. It's a greed problem. California, you brought this onto yourselves. Your fellow man needs you, and this is how you treat them. I just fear this disease of greed will spread to other parts of the country. We will see.
NorCal Rider the greedy in California are the property owners kicking out poor black and brown families that have been there for generations in favor of new tech money from the east coast that comes to live the “Cali life”
NorCal Rider so in your opinion rising rent and displacement of minorities in the Bay Area, especially SF, isn’t a problem? It’s completely okay to price people out of their homes and onto the streets so rich white people coming for tech can live the west coast life?
Why isnt the city cleaning up the trash? Advice to the lady walking her dog, Find another route!
The Homeless sit around most of the day producing the trash why can't they pick up their own shit. Why should I as a hard working tax payer have to give up anything to pick up their trash. I've made good decisions in my life. The better the decisions were the more work they took and the harder they were and the more they cost me. I served in the Military during Vietnam so that I could EARN the GI Bill and work fulltime and go to Junior College fulltime in 1975. It's not a matter of "No Options" or "Opportunities" it's a matter of working hard and making good decisions. Some of the Homeless simply need a Manager.
@zenubi As despicable as you feel the Military Veterans are just remember that we wrote an open check to the people of the United States payable for an amount of up to and including our lives for the freedoms that you Enjoy.
You can Simply say Thank You to us for your freedom.
zenubi wow you’re ignorant. Acting like every soldier goes to war because of what you stated. You realize they are pawns in the chess game. Blame who’s making the moves not who they’re giving orders to moron
@zenubi China is going to developing countries and using "predatory economics" to take the resources from that country. They build ports, send their citizens to live there, and establish miltary bases. The local government can't pay the loan off and defaults. The Chinese owned business takes over. They strip the country of it's resources, employ only Chinese, and the locals are left jobless and broke. In SE Asia, drugs, money laundering, scams, etc. are frequently run from mainland China. In the Philippines, the police have admitted that Mexican cartels are funneling drugs using Chinese and Philippine citizens as couriers. What a world we live in!
@zenubi Totally agree with too many military bases. Other countries should foot the bill and be responsible for their own defense because the U.S. taxpayers are being screwed over. Libya? You mean the Gaddafi that warned Obama that removing him would cause a major shit show that is now going on in the Middle East? There were small voices saying that we should not be involved in Syria, Egypt, etc. but they were ridiculed. But, the media and majority party were waving their poms poms and were sooooo surprised that things are bad there now. Nope! Not blind to that, my friend.
the lady in the rv was all twack back!!!!! lol
The core of this issue is they're building homeless housing at $650K per unit....(yes nearly 3/4 of a million per unit) that would cost $60 billion to house everyone it's economically IMPOSSIBLE. However, they can build really nice 3d printed and shipping container homes in the desert, where land is literally dirt cheap, at a cost of $30-50k each and they could have all the facilities in one place...Mental health support, job training, addiction specialist everything in one area...and then work their way back to the city based on merit..Problem solved.
This stuff has to stop.... an utter embarrassment.
This is not just an addiction or a mental health issue. Much of it is about income and affordability. Many people are a couple of paychecks away from being in that position. Even those who are not are still human beings. We are not doing enough as a society to help people from sleeping hungry or freezing overnight.
nah, if they're broke, they must be stupid or drug addicts...couldnt possibly be our blessed system
Homeless increases in direct proportion to employers hiring illegal aliens.
@@adamwomble5189 Illegals with *CHILDREN* are given *PRIORITY* in regards to subsidized housing, sec 8, low income buildings etc.
That displaces citizens who could occupy those spaces. Most of our homeless is 40+ .
Also, it might not be "high paying" jobs but there were jobs in construction, shipping recieving, forklift, dispatching and more whose wages were depreciated by illegals.
im a UPS driver and ive seen so many illegal immigrant enclaves from pico union to westlake to koreatown and so many more.
I have relatives who work for d.p.s.s and WIC stores. They'll tell u first hand to
illegals should only have the first priority to a one-way ticket back home.
Giving an illegal ANY assistance should be illegal and offenders need to be punished accordingly
@@adamwomble5189 illegals have no high paying job? I do construction and plenty of them work as labourers and carpenters and make bank. Cement masonry has illegals,heavy equipment operaters do. Bro get ya mind out the gutter fam, its only a matter of time, I mean come on they now have the numbers
It's really absurd to believe that people really believe they're more than just a human being
I hope your neighbors are kind and gentle
they should make a rent cap for life long residents, let the the engineers pay top dollar and protect the families who have been here since it was orchards.
My phone was stolen in my backyard a day before thx giving. I track my phone and it was located at a homeless shelter. These r the reason why i stop volunteering to feed, clean and serve the homeless. They should get there act together not the community
I am sorry you were so naive thinking they need any help. You wasted your time. Only a tiny fraction of them have the will to get back to “normal” life and that tiny fraction needs our help. Most of them are a lost cause , not able to function in our society and do not wish to change their lifestyle.
I live in Milpitas where we now have a homeless problem . One even took a dump outside the pizza hut by my house ....
I know people are proud of living in Milpitas
People need homes and there are few public restrooms. Try a bit of compassion.
Jason Gee who is proud of living there? Gross.
@@briesthoughts2261 Then they should get a job skill and a job just like the rest of us. I didn't enjoy getting 2 community college degrees 25 years apart but that's what keep me employable.
george t ....poop pan pizza! 💩 pan! pan! 🤧
You should be embarrassed that you don't care about the homeless.
They do. These homeless DON'T want to work. Don't want to clean up, get jobs or homes. They want it GIVEN to them. My son is one of the these bums. He doesn't want anyone telling him what to do.
I gave up when he got out of prison and thought I was magically going to put him up in my home. Nope. Not without a job. I don't feed bears.
@@SuperDobieGirl, mental health is a real issue.
@@edgarpadilla7397 there is a combination of mentally ill, substance abusers, folks with poor behavior. Some folks have all traits. Some are workable and others are not. Only they can help themselves, the resources are out there, it depends on the individual if they want to reach out for the help.
@@edgarpadilla7397 yeah? I spent 15 years getting him help for his "mental problems " he's a natural born con artist. Thumbed his nose at EVERYONE who tried to help him. The school, MHMR, several placements. Finally CPS helped me after several legal issues for trying to molest children. He's just a bad seed. He NEVER wanted help. He wants a free ride through life. I'm done.
I plan on enjoying what I have left. I'm 61 about to finish paying the mortgage on my 3 bedroom home in the country on 2 acres. He isn't even allowed to come for a visit. I don't trust him or his girlfriend.
I'm tired and worn out dealing with him.
I read all of the comments on the different Forms and FB & YT and the point everyone is missing is that these people choose to live like this. If you've ever tried to help one of them the conversation always starts off with "What they need and not with what they need to do".
The difference between winners and losers is the Outcome. If my Outcome is poor then I will change my plans. I may have several Different Careers during my life. My conversation with a prospective business partner or employer usually centers around what I have to offer. At age 14 I had access to a lawn mower and a snow shovel and that made me a business owner. The Homeless people are not looking for a solution. They're looking for someone to help improve their outcomes. The less they can contribute and still have an OK Outcome the less they will do for themselves.
We, the productive people, are entitled to a life that is not negatively impacted by and or disrupted by people who don't want to do the work. I'm sorry that I sound hard and callused but I've worked my but off to have something nice. I don't feel any need to give any of it away. I've worked 60-80 hours a week for 50 year's and have 2 community college degrees. I'm also an Honorably Discharged Vietnam Era Veteran. I left home with Nothing and I had a severely Mentally Ill mother and an Alcoholic Father. Retirement is nice and it's the result of 50 years of Flexibility, Good Decisions and lots of hard work. The people who can be helped usually aren't Homeless for long and usually find their own way out with the many opportunities that are available to them. The long term Homeless can't be helped and they don't participate in their own success. The Cost of Living is the same for everyone in the Community. If you can't afford to support yourself the problem rests on your shoulders.
Really? You think people choose to be an addict or mentally ill? C'mon.
@Charles Pieters You are absolutely correct I was not Homeless at age 14. My Mother was a Severely I'll Paranoid Schizophrenic and my Father was an Absent Alcoholic. We lived in a section 8 housing project and went to one of the toughest schools in town. I bartered for the lawnmower and I bought the snow shovel. I had a morning and an evening newspaper route. Newspaper routes were hard to get and girls were at the bottom of the list for routes. It was in a violent neighborhood and nobody else wanted that route. I convinced them that I could handle myself. I quickly earned a reputation as an astute business person and a worthy fighter. I was a Mean SOB in those days, you had to be to survive. I had 2 younger brothers that I had to look out for. I remember that sometimes we'd draw straws to see who stood watch at night when my mother was really bad and hearing voices in her head.
Sometimes life just plain Sucks. It's how hard you work at it and how good of decisions you make that separates the winners from the losers.
Life is really good right now and I've earned what I have and I'll never apologize for being successful. We need to help the disadvantaged people acquire the skills necessary to work 60-80 hours a week for 50 years just like the rest of us did.
@Charles Pieters That's Great. Because of taxes and the cost of housing I could never afford children and with a dysfunctional family there was certainly no support. I had to work until I was 66 before I could afford to retire.
funny how the news is worried about outside visitors seeing the problem instread of actually tackling the problem
the solution is obvious... add virtual reality screens to airplane windows and display pristine scenery when arriving to SFO.
The Ultra Rich freaking out over those without homes ? That's a shock . With housing in short supply . And most at $1,000,000.00 or more it shouldn't be .
Post-apocalypse without an apocalypse. Well done.
US needs to be a state factory and not sending it abroad, no private ownership but state owned and sponsor factories to keep a millions of Americans citizens occupied
At least people can see it from the plane so they can book a flight somewhere else as soon as they land.

Also that 50k price tag to own the home is now 500k

Bring back welfare for the needy, I grew up Eastside San jose, Ca and my mother got a fat check and a stack of food stamps and she used them right and it got her on the right track. She had 5 kids and no husband but, it helped and it worked.
I feel sorry for that woman who said, we aren't bothering any body. She makes a good point. It's the cities fault for allowing out of control rent increases to good hard working folks. The only thing the city is concern about is it's image rather than it's own citizens.😥
Oh, dear. Poor Americans are SO unsightly for the gentry.
It’s very expensive to live in San Francisco 🌁
Most people move to another State like right now Californians are moving to Idaho or Texas. But if drug addicts, they would not move because they have a dealer there to feed them.
They should cover whats happening in between Santa Rosa and Sebastapol on the Joe Rodata trail. I swear it was empty when I moved here in the beginning of the year and now theres at least 100 tents setup.

I’m from Tucson AZ we had a homeless veteran camp known as “base camp bravo” was for homeless veterans& they also welcomed females who where homeless. These camps do nothing but bring down your community! My dad lived a block away and would tell me how everyday there would be 30-40 homeless people a day walking across his front yard or leaving debris and shopping carts around the block some time even in his front yard .homeless people just need to get off they’re lazy tweaking asses instead of living off panhandling or the government 💯 all they’ll ever bring is crime and drug and more drug users to your side of town .

Why don’t the ‘woke’ Google employees let them stay at their houses?
They do not have room what will all those computers in every room, the Lambo, Porsche and Prius in the three car garage, and the olympic swimming pool and jacuzzi in the backyard?
The truth is they helped create the mess in the first place by driving up rent prices but now even they are being priced out of the market.
Google employees are sleeping in the company parking lot. No room in the RV.
I still don't know why housing prices are so high in Kwa-Zulu...
As a sj resident i have no problem with tiny houses as long as it is managed correctly. Its better than tents and tarps.

California is an awesome place. Everyone wants to live there
How can this be? The city WASTES so much money on this issue, FIX IT OR have the homeless move in with city officials. This is why they are in office correct? Or is it just for the easy overpaid salary?
its for the easy overpaid salary...they ask for more money every time we get a ballot
Funny how we have a trail that i never use because it belongs to the homeless...... rather go around the long way
Take care of your vulnerable people America.
Here they are... trying to build these tiny houses for the HOMELESS... but people are complaining about them❓
What else do they want❓❓❓
I hope those people get out of there before the storm hits.
San Francisco Bay Area rent is so expensive it is actually cause more people to become homeless
Interviewer: Do you have a job?
Homeless Meth Attics: No I steal from from cars bashing out windows for more meth!!!!
Its so much worst than that. All along the Pacific coast, homelessness is everywhere:-(
Hi folks are you ready for this I have a real simple solution. Every single public servant in the state of California will immediately take a duction in their pay and the state will reduce all taxes. These freed up funds will go to make work projects for the homeless and the reduced taxes will allow them to be able to purchase things more freely. In short reduce big government and give back to the people!
EVERYTHING IS FINE!!!!!
Why can't they send these homeless people to jail? They have shelter and food there and it looks cleaner for the city as well which is a win-win situation.
That Homeless Woman In The Travel Trailer Looked Like A Really Crappy Puppet
Here in the brew city they just uncovered a bunker system dug and built by a homeless dude. Complete with a cache of guns and ammo. Homeless have a right to defend themselves but it added to the crazy story.
As an outsider, I'm just puzzled - how did the homeless issue become so serious? Who are these people who are homeless? If the source of the issue cannot be dealt with, the problem will just snowball into bigger issues. Embarrassment and unsightly scene will be the least of the problems.
Nice. Let them see true California
I moved from that area because of the trash and criminals and the homeless plus the cost of living is ridiculously high

This is the best life has ever been. If you're Homeless then you need a manager. If you're "willing to do the work" there's no way you can fail unless someone is Mentally I'll or a Drug Abuser. We have the same problem in Fresno and Drugs and Mental Illness are big factors along with the Habitual Lack of Participation by the Homeless. The Homeless that I've interfaced with start the conversation off with "What they need" and not what they can do.
Jason Gee right outdated homes are cheap but big modern cost more I rather be living in Victorville or Barstow if I want a big house
@zenubi If they've reached middle or early Adulthood without acquiring the life skills necessary for survival and selfsuficency thats a problem. The problem is catching up on 20 or so years that they weren't learning and growing.
Those of us who are Successful and Selfsuficent are being asked to make sacrifices to help the people who in many cases laughed at us for our choices. A woman I know who is struggling has 2 live at home children who are in their 50s and are not monetarily motivated. She said that they never wanted the burden or responsibility of home ownership and now they have to move because of a rent increase. That's why I worked so hard to buy a home. It's not a posession that I'm proud of it's a way to fix my cost of housing. You have to Own the Dirt in order to stabilize your cost of housing. Housing is the biggest Expense and Responsibility you will ever have and you need to center your life around that responsibility first.
If you don't want to make uncomfortable education and unpleasant employment a priority in your life you will have a problem. Those bad choices don't give you the right to Camp Out in my Driveway and Shit in my Bushes.
@zenubi I might not be a Better person but my life's plan, the one that everyone else laughed at worked out pretty good.
How many of the people who are one paycheck away from Homelessness are going to night school looking for a better job and a more stable career. The more you know the more you earn and the better you live. People need a Career not a job. If you are a Registered Nurse or a Commercial Truck Driver or a Certified Welder you will always have the opportunity to work 60-80 hours a week 52 weeks a year. The last Homeless person I tried to help had all of the reasons why failure wasn't his fault.
Just trying to make a living? Lol crack or tweak??
Perfect site thanks San Jo for being so kind and considerate! 🤭🤪💩
There's a guy running a bike shop?
The huge stash of bikes........What is it with homelessness and bikes? Like Shields and Yarnell, Fred and Barney, Abott and Costella!! What do they do with all those bikes????
Looks like Manila airport in Philippines! Shanty towns next to the airport
It looks like Denver
If you don't care enough to try to solve the problem, don't complain about there being a problem.
I would never even think I'm looking at a American streets !!!
The comments here confirm we are in big trouble. I’m embarrassed.
Wealthiest citizens living right next to the poorest, homeless citizens. Nice.
I'd be more worried about people in your life, rather than be scared of the homeless.
Maybe if there were public bins around this wouldn't happen.
I'm with an organization called MOVE THEM ...we move 25 homeless from San Francisco to Los Angeles every month....Los Angeles is better place for them to live....our goal is to move 5000 by 2021
You are kidding, right?
Life starts to look bad if look out of an ivory tower
Housing is a human right. Tax the goddamn tech companies. If they decide to leave, confiscate their buildings for housing.
Maybe the techs are providing for them. That would be a nice thing to do.
Blame all the giant tech companies
Prison for employers of illegal aliens- bosa, swinerton, holland
Modern-day Hoovervilles.
Time for some tough love.
Time to crack some heads.
No mercy.
I agree, fastest way to get the revolution started and topple the government and bring justice to the people. Good thinking turd.
One thing for sure, it's just going to get worse.
