    This class is a fine example of complete horse shit. You must live in a bubble if you think there isn't bad homeless issues in red states. Try not being such a biased hack. At least in California you can help them. In places like Houston an ordinance was put in place that makes it near impossible for the heartfelt to help the homeless.

    Doesn’t make any sense. They probably have good cash flow [with their tax rates I don’t know how they could keep from it] but you can still be underwater with good cash flow.
    Just because you spend a lot of money doesn't necessarily mean you are going to get good results. We take the attitude that our approach is correct and thus if it is not working we simply need more money. Therefore no matter how much we spend it is never enough.

It could be as simple as living in a tent for a few weeks and filling out some papers.

    That said, I don’t have an answer for it either.
    Did you see the news articles where 3 or 4 women were squatting in an empty house, the person who bought it, wanted them out, the women went to Court, the Judge said get out, they wouldn't leave, and the Sheriffs made a forced eviction.

    That was in Oakland. I think the women got the idea from watching Eddie Murphy's SNL Mister Robinson's skit on squatters rights.

    I get tired of public officials with their, out of sight and out of mind policies, making the homeless move?!!

    If I was homeless, my main concern would be bathing and clean underwear to put on afterward?!! I take showers everyday, a habit I kept from the army?!!

    Santa Rosa, California (CNN)The globs of peanut butter were evenly applied. But this was no sandwich.

    Pest control workers were using the spread as bait as they installed rat traps -- 340 of them -- throughout the mile-long homeless encampment after infrared video from a sheriff's helicopter revealed a major rodent infestation.

    "I think it's sad and overwhelming," said pest control technician Matt Dougherty of the conditions for more than 200 homeless residents. "We're here just to make it better for them."
    The rat problem could hardly have been a surprise. Trash and human waste had been piling up for months along the Joe Rodota Trail, nestled behind neighborhoods in the heart of Northern California wine country.

    https://www.cnn.com/2020/01/18/us/sa...amp/index.html

    I think it's a damn shame we even have homeless in this country?!! Coming up in the 50's, 60's, and 70's, I never did see any homeless people?!!

    If you think it's such a shame, you should prove you care by taking them into your home. You can claim it's a shame all you want. Until you personally do something about it, the number of homeless won't change.

    If there are homeless where you live, apparently your heartfelt concern is only in words and not actions.

    Maybe they're not investing the right stocks.

    If there are homeless where you live, apparently you personally aren't helping them much. Talk is cheap unless it's back up by actions. When are you going to invite the homeless to live in your home?

The number of patients living in state hospitals dropped from 535,000 in 1960 to 137,000 in 1980.""

    Ronald Reagan defunded and closed down mental institutions and crooks like dump rigged the realestate market to make housing unaffordable for the average person.

    These are policies you voted for so stop complaining about the homeless.

    Well, it is true that 9 million people would have 9 million different stories, so it made some kind of sense.

    About 40 years ago I was attending classes after work at the County College, and after a long day one day, I decided to dive into one of the bars across the street from the college, AND HAVE MYSELF A BEER! LOL!

    I was there drinking my beer, and a stumble bum pulled up a barstool and as he sat down beside me, he asked, "Could you buy an old drunk a beer"?

    I was a bit surprised by all this sudden predicament but I said, "OK- But only if you tell me what has led you to being a bum".

    He pulled out his wallet and pulled out a business card and handed it to me. The card said so and so ATTORNEY AT LAW from one of the well know Dallas Law firms.

    I asked him, "Is that you"? And he said, "Well it used to be me" So I asked him, "What happened to that"? THIS WAS HIS STORY.....

    He said, he used to have a beautiful wife and two sons, a nice home in Highland Park, and everything he could possibly want. He said he bought one of those nice cigarette boats and he used to take it to Lake Texhoma and cruise the lake with his family. One day, he hit a wake wrong and flipped the boat over, throwing everyone out in the water, and no one was wearing any life vests. He could see his wife about 10 feet away and struggling, his sons were in the other direction 20 feet away and they looked like they were drowning. Well, somehow, his wife and both his sons drowned that day and he somehow managed to save himself.

    He said it went downhill from there because he started drinking, turned into an alcoholic, and ended up losing his job, his home, and everything he owned but the clothes he was wearing.

    I've kind of looked at bums a little differently since then. And since then, I've heard some rather sad stories from some of these bums- always about alcohol or drugs somewhere in the mix.
    In other words, this guy, like so many others in his situation, caused their own problems by drinking and doing drugs and now want someone else to foot the bill for his bad choices?

    You and the other bleeding hearts on this thread claim to care about the homeless. As long as they exist, it's clearly you that doesn't give a shit. Why haven't you provided them a place to live?

    Absolutely agree. They claim to care about the homeless yet how many homeless have they invited into their homes to prove it?
