That's exactly what the powers that be are trying to do where I live in Florida. And some of us who try to help the homeless humans and homeless animals, are punished or threatened when we get caught. Hell, the people that run the town I live in are mostly crooks anyway and put that tax payer money in their pockets instead of doing right by the citizens. When they just don't care, you can't force them to have a heart. Thank you for being a voice for the homeless.

As the previous homeless person, this is not just homelessness it this is called drug addicts. And actual genuine homeless person that doesn't like to do meth is not going to pile trash at a camp and retention to themselves because they don't like to be messed with. That is just a tweaker mess

[@FLORIDAHOODVLOGS]

Thank you. Most homeless individuals are on drugs or alcohol.

[@emerg0n0see]

I was thinking the same thing. Look at the mess they are living in. I realize tidiness is not exactly priority but that is complete negligence. These people destroy what others have worked so hard for. I have compassion but I am a realist also. Choices have consequences. If meth is most important, you’ll see what meth does for you. You are disabling your credit by telling us these people are caring, loving, good people. Is it the drug that is the bad person causing destruction or depleting another’s hard worked resource? I don’t wish living like that for any person but if the consequences don’t wake you, what will?

[@derekd1510]

I was homeless for years in Florida. I lived in mangrove swamps sometimes and loved it. I was not a junkie, just a confused weed smoking autist who took 4 decades to find my way. I didn't live like this though. I kept everything orderly and never left a mess behind. I have a deep respect for nature. I also stayed away from other homeless people. The few times the police came to visit me, they told me my setup was pretty neat 👌 I built an awesome tree house once..

[@Catspurrlounge]

I know where you're coming from.about 40 years ago. How's the deputy sheriff here in Florida? And someone pointed out to me and another deputy. About 3 homeless males in the sword. It area which we were scratching our heads. Cause we've been in and out that woods. And we've never found an encampment. So we went a little deeper. Where was very difficult to get and normally? I would never go through hip. Deep water, but we did when we came out to another high and dry area of land it was almost like an island deep in the swamp we found an encampment that was the. Best set up well. Maintain clean encampment. I have ever seen not even in the military. No one was there at the time and we came back later and found three of these middle age to elderly men out there. To make this short, We did not know these guys. Because they stayed low-key off. The grid never on the streets begging for money. No addictions whatsoever all. Well drinking problems. of them held 40 hour plus a week jobs. They had bank accounts. They Just wanted to be left alone. The property they were on which technically they are trespassing. They would go around the entire property, which was a probably about a 100 acres. And clean it the entire 100 acres. They would pick up trash and improve it. It was virtually leave no trace. When I asked them why they did that? They said well, if I own this place. I would expect the same. And they said they don't know who owns the property but They should do that because they were living there. We. Never bothered these guys again and on occasion. Me and another deputy who'd befriend of them Would take pizza out to them in spend a few moments with them by their campfire. All Of them had lots of money in the bank account. I asked them. Would the money they have? Why wouldn't they just go get an apartment together? And the answer was Really sad they said They didn't deserve to have nothing nice in life. Pretty much. They were homeless for so long that they became institutionalized to their situation. But never saw them without a smile. Hard workers. Great poker players l o l. And then the flip side of this coin you had this idiot with a mask on this video living in squalor who cares nothing more, did himself and where he's going to get his next fix.

I've been homeless and addicted to Alcohol. I was so sick of living that way I checked into a rehab and completed a 3 year program followed by 6 months in a half way house inorder to re-establish living a normal life. I hated rehab and it was so difficult to stay but I pushed thru and decided that I was out of options. I had nobody but God himself to take my life and reform it. It was long and uncomfortable but today I've been clean and sober for over 8 years and feel like things could have been much worse for me. Watching these people I know the resources to redirect your life are still available. The program I did was free for me and operated by donations from the community. It's a tough choice to make but living like the people in this video is no way to live and all it takes is a commitment to a better life. There is still hope and I wish nothing but the best for the homeless they just have to make that choice for themselves. Life hasn't been without problems even being sober and working countless hours but that's life and anyone in this predicament can do it just invest in your well being. ✌️

[@gigieyre]

The trash situation is what is so bad. When someone is an addict, they're not only throwing household trash out, but also drug needles, broken bottles, etc. No one wants this near their homes. It's not that people don't care. It's all this other stuff left there when they leave. Our out reach program has stopped giving out clothing because when we do cleanups, that's what is scattered all around. We sponsor laundry days and shower days. We do give out a clean pair of undergarments on shower days but no extra clothing. It's costing us way too much in clean up and garbage fees.

First, a mandatory rehab program. Then, placement into a tiny home community, complete with staff for emotional support. There should also be a designated area for overnight pod rentals; this is working very well at Eden for the Homeless in Missouri. These pods have a door that locks, heat, phone chargers, bathrooms on site, and people who monitor and enforce the rules. Those who show up are sometimes high/inebriated, but they are checked in (no questions asked) and are SAFE for the night.

@daniellecapichano905 Yes, Danielle, they take most of it to the landfill, and the good items are taken away to be sold near the landfill. I know I did NOT fail my daughter. If allowing her to fall in love with a hard working boy, who after living nearby for a couple years, moved back to help his dad, after his mother died, with the ranch and live on the ranch in the 2nd house, then I guess i did fail her for loving a son who wants to help their parent. anyways I have four wonderful granddaughters that I love. I believe it was the father of her children who didn't say a word to anyone when one of his friends kidnapped her and smacked her around enough to give her a TBI, and he then had her determined to be an unfit mother for running away.

The lesson to be learned here kids: Don't do hardcore drugs. These people put themselves in this situation, not society.

[@treuky]

People are not always homeless because of drugs there's also a mental illness issue, some people become displaced because of marriages and family, some people depend on family and then they have nowhere to go when they're out on the street... The problem is that we have forgot about these people for a long time and it's an escalation of numbers, we would have started taking care of this twenty years ago things would be better for people and it wouldn't be so much homelessness but we spend the money on things that don't matter, even the fact that we give other countries billions of dollars and we have this phone situation here in America

[@treuky]

Poor people are the most humble people on this Earth, and the love that the homeless people share with each other to look out for each other, that's a richness that you will never understand if you are a shallow person. To share a piece of bread, when there's nothing in your belly, is most important gift you can ever give..

I started to drive off and I have never seen anyone run so fast she could almost keep up with my van with traffic and all. I called 911 and she was arrested her claim was she thought my toddler was her son? And the police told me she had just been released from prison 3 hours prior

Yes, every square inch of Florida is getting developed. The developers need those encamped evicted for construction to start. Work from home brought millions to Florida during the pandemic. They earn big money, & want houses & condos to live in. Places that sat vacant for decades because they were not worth developing are now in hot demand. The whole East Coast from Jacksonville to Homestead is seeing construction on every available vacant lot & parcel, because now there is high demand for the housing that will be built there. The police are happy to oblige evicting homeless camps, because developed property = higher property taxes= higher salaries = higher pensions. Florida will never be the same. There is an earnest pursuit of ending homeless camping everywhere statewide.
