You can also rent an apartment with a roommate and split the costs?
@kaelacoughlin1988 Жыл бұрын
@@marcopolo3109 Since you posted this as a question. I will attempt to answer from my experience and from an empathetic standpoint. If one was to put themselves in our shoes and begin to think about the situation, hardships, life adversities, traumas and so on that led people to this situation of homelessness. Many people have mental illness, from mild to severe, and that can lead someone here or be a result of being here or any combination there of. People have disabilities, again in a whole myriad of conditions. Lots of folx out here have substance abuse issues. I would say all of us are in financial ruin. And because of all this, we face immense discrimination and stigma and leading to shame on a daily basis. Up to and def not excluding finding housing or a roommate situation. Not to mention, the $400, $600, $800, or here, $1000 plus a month for a bedroom.And then to include insurance, security deposits, first and last if you are renting a new place. It is largely unobtainable for most. And I feel this may come off as a lot of excuses. But this is reality. Not many can uphold a job out here without access to safe storage of their belongings, no safe place to sleep and rest, showers and hygiene is few and far between out here. We are being left to suffer out here with lack of suitable shelter, resources, financial and social saftey nets are non existent for most. And that needs to change. People need not be in this or fall into this. This is a humantarian crisis and needs to be met with all hands on deck. People aren't digging themselves out of this. Hell most of us in LA live off $220 a month which is cash benefits for the homeless. Can you imagine coming up with only $220 a month. Plus the myriad of other factors, pets, children, or others one may be caring for might be keeping one out here. Not to also mention for the ladies, sexual assault is basically an ongoing experience for us out here. To find a trusting roommate when your boundaries and trust in people is majorly broken. Lastly I've met Soo many people out here that a roommate situation led themselves to homelessness. I speak for myself there as well. Affordable housing, social and financial safety nets, mental health services, substance abuse treatments, physical and mental wellbeing therapy, and a whole lotta compassion, empathy, and support from our communities, we need to demand change. This will be the only way. You offered a solution that is only a tiny small fraction of possible for people out here. Keep fighting. Blessings.

Depending on the state a new apartment complex has to have a certain % of the units dedicated for low income housing and builders bend over backwards figuring out how to get out of that, let alone entire buildings. The margins are much higher for luxury apartments -__-. The incentives aren't there with high government debt burden there is resistance to offer more money so either demand for luxury apartments has to go down or more money for low income housing. Either way this trend is not sustainable and will sadly get worse

@@purewonkaong. Talk about things you know about. California has the nicest weather year round in the US. Most other states have deadly cold winters or deadly hot Arizona hot summers, so it's worse to be homeless in most other states, because the weather is terrible. Homeless people in California get no money, unless if they actually qualify for Calfresh, GR, or SSI/SSDI. Most homeless people in California do not get these benefits, except maybe for food stamps, which is only enough to buy food for about 2 weeks. The real estate industry is just another business. If everyone had affordable housing, then a lot of rich people would lose A LOT of money.

@@purewonka he didn't choose to be homeless, though. Listen to his story, it's similar to most. Dude came out for a job or some connection, got laid off, and lives on the street because savings and affordability don't mean shit in most of the US unless you make good money to begin with. But even if you do make good money, once you're out of a job, it don't matter anyway because you're back to square one. It's not about choosing to live like this. The precarity of people's lives, most being 1-2 paychecks from being on the street, shows it clearly isn't about individual choices or responsibility. If people dont have anything resembling financial or housing security, then of course when their income goes away they are basically back to nothing. This is the reality for a huge majority of people in the US. We cannot continue to think that individuals "just getting jobs" or "turning their life around" will change this. Yeah, maybe 5% of people will be able to do that. But that is no marker of substantial change, and doesn't address the root problem of this crisis. If there is no incentive to re-enter society other than individual monetary incentive, their "choice" to be homeless (if you can even call it that) has already been made by systems outside of your control

Also, I'm unsure of what the purpose of your comment was the only thing I can assume is that you believe this man doesn't want to work so you felt the need to comment and be rude.

He seems a nice chap. Very clear of mind and certainly does not like a dope addict. I wouldn't just "Give" him a house. I think he should be able to work to keep a house like everyone else. I wish they could give everyone access to a Section 8 style apartment where you must play 30% of your income for rent. There should be enough housing so anyone with a Section 8 voucher should be able to get a clean descent apartment. I would not give dope addicts apartments till they were clean so I don't agree with housing first. If an addict gets clean he shows he is responsible enough to handle living in a house. Part of the problem is the government blew up the projects and did not replace those units on a 1 to 1 ratio. Blow up 3,000 low income units replace 3,000 units. The projects were hell but they beat the heck out of living in a tent on the streets. Also single room occupancy hotels are pretty much gone now. IF I had Mark's infamous three wishes. I'd wish for enough money to create Single room occupancy hotels where each room had its own toilet sink and shower. Every working drug free man could have their own clean nice room, toilet, shower, sink, bed and a small storage area. The only people I'd exclude are active druggies\alcoholics, ex convicts and sex offenders. I'm not saying the people I'd exclude don't need help but I don't trust such people so I'm not the one to help them. My brother used to be a druggie but, I could always trust him to never hurt me even when he was using (meth and heroin). My brother was a meth head, a drunk and a heroin addict but he never hurt me or stole from me so I could always help him. He did his last drug on November 15th 1985 been clean ever since. I'm proud of him. That was his last day homeless because I took him in my house. Been with me and clean ever since. Like I say I'm proud of him!

It's seems like there is a relation between the ability of the people driving by and the inability of the homeless to afford a place to rent. Why have the rents been climbing so high? Is it to enable people to keep on driving by. Once you have a vehicle you are occupying a vehicle of dispossessive security enabling a forgetfulness of the necessarily enabling left behind. Thank you for your commerce.

I wonder if we as a society could at least provide the bare minimum of shelter to these people. Instead of tents, how about the concept of an RV park, with just the shell of a car (no engine, maybe seats removed, with comfortable bedding). There would have to be a way to heat and cool it, of course. There would need to be restrooms and showers, also, kind of like a campground. And an address and a way to receive mail. As far as cooking, I haven’t thought about that yet. But at least it could be a way to safely sleep and store a few possessions without fear of theft. And undoubtedly, rents need to come down, otherwise there will just be more homeless. It could at least be a temporary solution. Animals are treated better than humans a lot of times. Or may work better on a smaller scale, so there is not such a high concentration in any one area.

No homeless person expects to be "taken care of" in any way. They simply want the security of walls and a door 🚪 so all their stuff isn't stolen.

Without housing these people have no chance to be able to get by and survive. I live in South East Asia and guess what u hardly see compared to America? Homeless. There are street people but not nearly like back home. I went back to visit in 2009 after living in Thailand my Dad took me out to In and Out burger. I'll never forget what I saw loads of homeless people in the restaurant like I hate to say it cockroaches but they are people. It should be a national crisis but no one cares it seems. If a basic job can't at afford a roof over your head than its an economic problem. The Christians say god will leave the sinners behind when we are allowing good people that want to work to rot in the street. Work builds character I love working on projects I'm lucky I have the economic freedom to work on my own. They bailed out the bankers gave tax cuts to the rich but let the hard blue collar workers rot in the street. This guy is bright dressed well and given a chance could be in a well paid position. But we don't value truth tellers real free thinkers anymore its all about profit over people get in line follow our made up rules. Its too easy these days to fall down and no one cares to pick u up.

Yeah they are poor live in slums that isn't homeless. I've travelled around seen the living conditions and they are bad but they still have a home. In India there are a lot of homeless but still many find a place to sleep. Most cities in America are suburbs and not areas for the poor. My hometown of Claremont used to be affordable but was taken over by the wealthy. Its very different in Asia the living conditions than America. For 50 dollars a moth you can find a place to live in Cambodia. Sure there are street people but in most Asian cities nothing like LA especially now. Like u said slums we hardly have those in America compared to Asia.
