While I understand that homelessness exists in other places I've been, I never encountered so many young, able-bodied individuals living on the streets until coming back to the US. It's disheartening to hear people in the US say things like 'They choose to live like that,' without taking accountability for the systemic issues that contribute to homelessness.

[@elanbus]

I’m a social worker in Seattle who primarily works with the homeless population. One common misconception about homeless people is that they chose that life, yet when we offer them an opportunity for housing every one jumps at the opportunity. Homelessness is a housing problem first and foremost. Another misconception is that rising homeless populations are a sign of economic downturn, but in reality it's the opposite. Economic booms cause housing prices to go up and invite wealthier individuals to move in for employment, putting many individuals out on the street. When cities grow and their housing market doesn't grow to accommodate them the city will have an increase in homeless populations.

[@dumbtruccc]

you’re so right about the economic boom driving higher homelessness rates. i’m from the UK and the exact same thing has happened to London. our former home secretary recently deemed homelessness a “lifestyle choice” which is such a colossal spit in the face of everyone living in the street who is working to improve their situation

[@frikghorgan]

do you not remember the housing market crash in 2008? this is a multi-dimensional issue, and although gentrification causes rising prices that keep a lot of people from purchasing houses in certain areas, to say that that a better economy is a bigger problem is absurd.

[@elanbus]

@@frikghorgan I never said a better economy was a bad thing, that's absurd. But this is part of the growing pains of a city who’s hosting market can't keep up with the growing demand thanks to many factors like zoning regulations. I know gentrification is a sign of prosperity but when affordable housing isn't made to balance of the displaced then cities will inevitably have more homelessness. The fact of the matter is that ignorance and contempt drive many to believe that homeless people choose this life, but that's just another narrative to confirm their contemptuous biases.

[@frikghorgan]

@@elanbus gotcha, i misunderstood.

Public transportation can be vital for people of low income in order to be able to get around the city as well as help them get a job when they are unable to afford a car. But this Cho journalist, immediately assumes that the only use that public transportation serves homeless people is for them to go to shops and stores just to steal stuff. How someone can think so poorly of homeless people blows my mind.

[@user-vw8xq5pr1r]

I agree with you and I also hate those who say stuff like that about public transit. I am a college student in San Luis Obispo, California. Since I am an out of state student from Indiana, I don't have a car. It's too expensive to keep a car in California, with an extra $25 per month for parking at my apartment complex and I think an extra $600 per year for university parking. Not counting gas prices and car insurance. For college students, riding the city bus is free. For everyone else, the bus ticket is $1.50, and the monthly pass is $40. There are also various discounts for seniors, children, the disabled, etc. I am in my third year of architecture school, so I live off campus. I take the bus to and from campus. At certain times of day, the entire bus is filled to the brim with college students. I know people who take the bus despite having a car to save on gas. But, then again, TPUSA hates college students as well as homeless people.

[@biohazardbin]

I swear to you, my mother swears up and down that public transit would be worse off for us. "I'd rather have my own car than pay for a monthly subscription for a bus." Great! Now tell me, do you have car insurance? No? I didn't think so.

I was homeless, thankfully I'm in a much better place now. But, there's always been "journalists" exploiting the homeless. The BBC were awful for it here in Swansea the UK for a long time. It's cheap (practically free) to produce. They shine a light on "undesirables" then leave, exploiting them, making money off them in the process and then leaving with the police pissed of at them highlighting vulnerable people who apparently make the city look bad, so they amp up their presence and push the homeless into the shadows, where the problems continue, in a more dangerous environment. I knew one girl who was filmed for a homeless documentary and was told "come back when you've had more to drink so you'll be more entertaining " I was f'ing disgusted. KZbinrs have been doing the same sensationalist BS for years now, thanks boys for calling out this crap.

She has severe mental health issues too. What a sad society we live in where some of the most vulnerable people feel safer in prison and actually fear being released, as they know they have nowhere to go when they get out.

I grew up in a pretty privileged position, but when I got older I started struggling with mental health stuff. Even coming from a circumstance that enabled me to get better access to care than most, getting help was a nightmare. Not only that, I was often living among people who DIDN'T have the same level of support. It was really eye opening and honestly it's a very complicated issue but to sum it up briefly, there ARE things in place to help people but they are SO poorly implemented and often run by people who are payed very little and receive very little training. And that's IF you even manage to get help because unless you have private insurance, getting set up with disability/social security is a nightmare for most people (I've heard stories of from friends with serious issues like severe bipolar or debilitating anxiety attacks being told "you don't look disabled.") Honestly the "they don't' want help" explanation is not just ignorant, but it's super lazy... it doesn't take much, even without interacting with anyone in these positions to see the problem with that. Why would anyone WANT to live like that. Sure working sucks (especially minimum wage jobs) but it sure as hell better than living on the street where people treat you like trash and you're constantly in danger of dying of exposure, overdose, or crime related incidents.

Thousands of people are dying from drugs in Vancouver, and this was a move to treat addiction like a health issue and not a crime. The treatment those poor people in crisis got is appalling. Edit to clarify a couple small things: The move British Columbia made to decriminalize drugs was a last-ditch effort when many other things had failed. Nobody is happy with the state of affairs (neither people with substance use disorders or without), but this change was intended to make access to treatment easier. The system obviously still needs a lot of work, though. This is an incredibly complex issue and a little compassion for these people can go a long way. I say this as someone with mental health issues too, so I know what the system is like.

Yup! Insite has saved so many lives (I know a lot of people who have worked and benefited from Insite) and not only that so many people on the DTES are residential school survivors. They have a lot of trauma that is not easily fixed, and not to mention the missing and murdered Indigenous women.

[@Alfred-Neuman]

I respect these two guys, I love their videos and I really think they are good people but I think there's a lot of things they don't understand about homelessness and drug addiction. You can't just give them a home and a job and ask them to stop doing drugs. When they give a free place to someone that have been living on the streets for 20+ years the place usually gets completely trashed after just a couple of days and they don't have any choice but to evict this person...

[@saltyleaf6002]

And now the rightoids are acting like this is a new problem caused by decriminilization. I grew up in Van and the DTES has been like that for decades.

[@nebuchad6167]

I've been to van before and I can say that East Hastings spilling out into greater van because of the opiod epidemic/safe drug sites is not helping them in the slightest. All it has helped to do is enable those who are on the streets. Dealers have learned to carry only the amounts that would let the cops do a short seizure of the drugs that wont incur penalties because they know they wont get fined/sentenced for it. It's lead to many dealers simply having stashes nearby/out of sight in a safe site so they can just go and restock. Rocks and blues don't cost much and are cheap, easy ways for dealers to make an easy ten per deal. and with the advent of fent and tranq on the streets making it all the more addictive when mixed with whatever they sell, its all the more potent to find returning customers. You say they are "poor people in a crises" and they are all the more happy for it, because it means that you are more naïve and easier to take advantage of over others.

[@krazed0451]

​@@ddawgyo The thing is, the numbers haven't dramatically changed, only the visibility. The addicts are more comfortable in the open because it's actually safer, the fact it's harder for society to ignore them is IMO a bonus, continuing to ignore the issue is abhorrent.

That sounds like your personal issue. If people went interstate to live in the welfare state, it's probably because they need support and went to where they could get it. Not everyone is out to cheat the system or some shit.

@@blakewhite3131 Theres a service in SA called Trace a Place (angles on earth!!!!). At any time they where willing to place me in a hostel (they really liked me).

When I lost my squat I ended up going to a hostile that had more violence than living on the streets, but then they put me in Edwardstown Youth Housing Project which is fantastic except the bible bashing...."Peter, your doing really well here but the fact that you dont come to church with us on sundays and have to wait outside really causes some problems and youd fit in better if you came with us"....."Yeah thats cool, Im fine ;P". TAP put an end to that and I never cared, the place is so well run and such nice people. Also, I was given a Housing Trust flat but couldnt handle all the noise and people which is when I went back on the streets and found my squat that I had for over a year until the Grand Prix came here and the cops followed all the streeties home and kicked them out and barred it up. They drove us outta sight.

7 to 8 out of 10 times a homeless person has previously been convicted of a Felonious crime (a crime against the Federal Government) and is therefore prohibited from possessing a "firearm" or even bullets for a gun. So to have a hand to hand weapon for self defense or aggravated offense is quite common for them..

i live in a county in kansas that legalised public camping. ever since the surrounding law enforcement has been rounding up homeless people for sleeping in public and dumping them at the border of our county. IMMEDIATELY locals started blaming the public camping law for “destroying the town”. it’s actually heartbreaking to watch my town turn up their nose and become more and more aggressive towards our homeless population. business owners that used to feed and clothe the homeless population out of pocket have posted signs prohibiting loitering. locals are dismissive and rude to homeless people who didn’t even have a choice in coming here. several businesses are suing the city for the public camping laws like that’s the problem. now the city is building affordable and free housing (it’s shit, we have way more homeless people than the city can provide even the most barebones quarters for.) and people living near them are trying to get it shut down. it’s so sad that no one will extend sympathy to people living in such horrible conditions.

re. the idea that they're "choosing" to be on the street...I often ride the commuter train in my city and there are often un-housed folks riding as well. More often than not, despite stereotypes, they are lucid, sober and polite. I've had many conversations (without pointing a camera in anyone's face, just listening). A few times I've asked about the local shelters, or they volunteered their opinion. I'd just assumed they were full, but that doesn't seem to be it. The answer is always very similar: the shelters can be very unpleasant, dangerous places as you're forced in close proximity with people that have severe untreated mental illness and/or substance problems. Violence and theft are commonplace, and it's tough to sleep. Also, a surprising number (particularly those living in cars) are in fact employed, some working nights, and shelters typically have curfews-so that doesn't work for them. Where actual housing programs do exist, they typically require that someone be clean/sober as a prerequisite. Trouble is, for the subset that do have substance problems, a major practical barrier to effective treatment is the _lack of a permanent mailing address_ . Same for mental health and employment. So you have a bit of a catch-22 there. Thankfully, "housing first" (the radical idea of solving homelessness with...homes!) has at least gotten some traction in recent years. There's just not nearly enough to meet demand. So yeah, they might be 'choosing' the streets because that's realistically their best option. If they were offered some sort of clean, safe housing without draconian rules, I bet they'd take it. Keep up the great content, love the mix of smart humor and social consciousness.

I live in Seattle and lived within a block or two of the blanket guy. Fentanyl is absolutely an issue and more and more homeless people are getting hooked on it. It's cheaper than ever and abundant as all hell. Go back 5 years and it was mostly crack and heroin, now it's all just fent, or fent laced crack. It's seriously an epidemic. You absolutely see "normal" homeless people - people just down on their luck and out of permanent residence, but more and more it's addicts tripping in public. People try out fent because it's so cheap, and get hooked extremely quickly. Most of the homeless people sleeping on the sidewalk are serious abusers, which only further leads to perceiving this as a majority. Most high functioning homeless keep to themselves and are either employed or actively seeking some source of income(illegal to odd jobs to full time traditional employment). The real issue is that most employers don't want to hire someone without a permanent residence, and so it is hard for homeless people to get a consistent stream of income. This only perpetuates their homelessness (try getting an apartment selling stolen goods/drugs/panhandling). Staying homeless is extremely easy compared to getting off drugs, getting a temporary permanent residence and getting a job etc. Pre covid you'd see the occasional abuser or tweaker, but now it's every street corner. Walking down from University Station to Pioneer Square I see at least a dozen people tweaking or overdosing. Going through Chinatown at night is dangerous and many homeless around there are violent as well. It never used to be this bad, and Seattle isn't doing enough.
