P 1 of 4* Cities can eliminate homeless tent cities by replacing them with *homeless-communities* using _Pallet Shelter's_ existing *homeless shelter village components.* The _Community Room_ sells for $37,000 and serves as a shared laundry room, restaurant, *child daycare center,* and addiction services center. The _Bathroom_ cost $35,000 and the _Services Office_ costs $9,000. So for only $81,000 a city can establish a *homeless village.* The 10'X10' *Camping Cube Sport Pop Up Tent* costs only $120 and provides protection from the elements.

thats news "reporters" for you today, what a freaking joke

[@user-wv8ms9xv3q]

We need to understand that being at the top of the pyramid of creation means that everything we do trickles down the structure, from top to bottom. When it reaches the bottom, the inanimate level of reality, from which everything grows, it changes it. If we ooze ill-will, it creates negative changes throughout the system, which manifest in increasingly extreme climatic and geological events. In other words, when human relationships go out of balance, everything goes out of balance. When our relations become extreme, everything becomes extreme; when we become violent, everything becomes violent. Each summer, the ramifications of the linkage between our relations and our world become more extreme, until we acknowledge that everything that exists, exists in a connected, hierarchical system and that whoever is at the top determines the state of the rest of the system. It is not as if previously, we were better people than we are today. It is simply that there were fewer people, and therefore fewer elements that exude ill will. Also, relationships between people in the past were less toxic than they are today. While there are fewer wars today than ever, the levels of suspicion and alienation between people are skyrocketing, to the point where people can no longer trust their own family members. As a result, wars between countries are rarer than ever, but divorce rates, domestic violence, and violence in the community, are at an all-time high. Even the internet, which we invented purportedly in order to connect people, is being used to abuse, deceive, and exploit people. The world-wide-web proves that everything we create, we use against others. When there is such a negative element in a system, and that element is at the top of the system, how can the entire system not go awry? Therefore, if we want the weather to cool, the sea-level to drop, and the storms to subside, we must cool the fire and calm the storms between us. Mutual concern, mutual responsibility, or at least the knowledge that we are dependent on each other, are necessary in order to restore balance in our world at all levels, from the ground we walk on to the hatred in our hearts.

P *2 of 4* Cities are spending millions of dollars to open and run homeless bed shelters; that the homeless reject due to the many restrictions and lack of security. _Pallet Shelter's_ two person _Shelter 64_ cost only $7,000 and provides a dignified, secure sleeping base of operation. So for only $201,000 [$120 tents] a city can establish and run a *Homeless Shelter Village* with 1000 shelters that can accommodate 4,000 beds!

[@domesticterrorist9969]

P *4 of 4* The homeless can simply move the tents they are using now into the homeless-village. Or the _Shelter 100_ is a $9,500 shelter that is climate controlled, built in one hour, is 100 sq. ft., and uses a folding bunk system to house up to four beds. *_Pallet Shelter's_* private sleeping cabins offer *security* and durability. Which addresses the concerns of the homeless who reject the restrictions of “bed-only” homeless-shelters; for only one night.

*Paragraph 3 of 3.* 89 million Americans is 27% of the *working* population! Or a $50,000 a year stipend for 40 million American families of 4 making less than $15 an hour; so that they do not become homeless.

Unfortunately for millions of Americans in order to survive, those made homeless, due to failed Republican polices, will have to lower their standard of living dramatically and live in modest accommodations. Such as _Pallet Shelter's_ *Shelter 64* which sleeps two in a private cabin. Placed in combination with _Pallet Shelter's_ other components: *Community Room,* Bathroom, and Services Office; to form an entire *Homeless Shelter Village.* Where rent is 10% of net income for the 2 person shelter and 20% for the four person shelter. Which goes to providing _one free meal a day_ and *childcare* so that the working poor can go to work: in the Community Room.

But do not go out or follow [them]. 24 For like the lightning, that flashes and lights up the sky from one end to the other, so will the Son of Man be in His [own] day. 25 But first He must suffer many things and be disapproved and repudiated and rejected by this age and generation. 26 And [just] as it was in the days of Noah, so will it be in the time of the Son of Man. 27 [People] ate, they drank, they married, they were given in marriage, right up to the day when Noah went into the ark, and the flood came and destroyed them all. 28 So also [it was the same] as it was in the days of Lot. [People] ate, they drank, they bought, they sold, they planted, they built; 29 But on the [very] day that Lot went out of Sodom, it rained fire and brimstone from heaven and destroyed [them] all. 30 That is the way it will be on the day that the Son of Man is revealed. 31 On that day let him who is on the housetop, with his belongings in the house, not come down [and go inside] to carry them away; and likewise let him who is in the field not turn back. 32 Remember Lot’s wife! 33 Whoever tries to preserve his life will lose it, but whoever loses his life will preserve and [e]quicken it. 34 I tell you, in that night there will be two men in one bed; one will be taken and the other will be left. 35 There will be two women grinding together; one will be taken and the other will be left. 36 [f]Two men will be in the field; one will be taken and the other will be left. 37 Then they asked Him, Where, Lord?

It looks like boats can actually go on those water levels, and the water levels look high enough to have boats on top of it. If there are regular major floods in the USA then why are there no boaters in the areas of where major floods happen? Putting people in trailers is a better idea than in houses especially in areas like that because trailers can move, so it can leave those areas, but houses cannot leave. I think putting people in trailers would be the second best option, for the people who want to live in Kentucky. Not the best option though. Because if the people who live in Kentucky want to stay there then the best option would be living on something that floats. It looks like the people who live in that area were not prepared, and as a result loss of life happened.

@@knowledgeandmultiskilled I don’t think you realize this, some people don’t have much of a choice on where they live. For many it’s a matter of what’s cheaper at the time. And as I have mentioned previously, this a very poor part of the country. A lot who live there where born there and they can’t always afford to move.

Both the oceans and forests are saturated and no longer sequestering CO2; the forests are actually giving off CO2! That is why these homelessness creating, rent raising, extreme weather events are increasing in strength and frequency. It was 117 degrees in Portugal in July 2022. In the year 2032 the air temperature in Portugal will be 133 with the associated massive increase in flooding levels, fires, hurricanes, tornadoes and other homelessness creating, extreme weather events.

*Section 3 of 3.* FEMA run homeless encampments share shower, laundry, toilet, cooking-facilities, stores, restaurants, dumpsters, and a post office where everyone has a POB; just like a large campground. No trash or crime problems for the cities and the working poor have a dry place to sleep and store their stuff. 24/7 every 20 minutes bus service connects the homeless encampment to the city. Where *subsidized for the homeless,* electric-cargo-bikes are provided by companies such as: _Wheels, Lime, Link, and Veo._ Food banks operate out of the homeless-communities where free ice is provided. Amen.
