[@CanadianAmerican]

True, but not all homeless people are druggies. A few years back, after my landlord raised my rent, I became homeless. While working two jobs I lived in my car for several months. I've never done drugs in my entire life. I've never even had a beer, let alone a drop of any other type of alcohol. The homeless situation exploded when landlords became extra greedy and raised the rent on those who couldn't afford to pay more. While the cost of living has increased, salaries have stagnated. If it happened to me, it can happen to anyone. Today's homeless consist of families, people who have jobs (sometimes more than one job), those like me who had their rent increased ... and such. Since our government doesn't care its' up to all of us to be kinder and more understanding. While I'm no longer homeless, I will never forget the way that people treated me during that time .... as if I was a leper or something. Shameful !!!!!!!

[@fumblebunny1993]

I am in my 60s so I'm getting to an age where I have seen a lot in society and its changes since my childhood. When I was a girl, I didn't see this in cities. They were not called "homeless" then, they were called hobos. They stayed out of the city pretty much. You would see a few sitting here and there on sidewalks with a can for donations. It always made me cry as a kid. By the early 90s, I started noticing them increasing in our downtown area. I realize now that society was starting to see the repurcussions of NAFTA and our industry moving to foreign countries. Not everyone is eligible for college but 50 yrs ago, we had thousands of factories across the nation where our less educated and the rural populations were employed. We are now left as a nation with very little industry and most lower paying jobs that require just a HS diploma are service and retail related. Quite frankly, with these jobs being with the public, they want people who are clean and present well, which excludes this segment of society. Mental illness is another gigantic problem and states used to maintain state . psychiatric hospitals where the general public who had no insurance could be treated. All of those were emptied and closed in the 1980s. It is a shameful thing in America now that our politicians seem to be more concerned about people who are here illegally than Americans who are in trouble. It is not only our homeless. I routinely see parents begging on Facebook for money for their sick child. They have insurance but the hospital wants $20K up front to perform surgery/treatment. Why are we not discussing these things? Thank you for this video...showing people the truth of what is happening.

Yes, state mental hospitals were closed by Republican Ronald Reagan when he was governor. The police use to have them looked at Social Services then they would transport them to the mental hospital in LA and Santa Barbara. I am sure it was not all that great but they got treatment, food and a cot. Kept the streets clean. I propose a homeless city in the Mojave desert. It would be a walled in complex and they can have their own small house and get all their needs met in a one stop shop. All the cities could contribute and it would clean them all out of the downtown's, Cheaper then throwing random services at them,

That's a pretty narrow-minded perception of how people ended up on Skid Row. Sure, there are many that battle drug and alcohol abuse, but a lot of them have serious mental health issues. Some lives were destroyed by the market crash in '08. Others may have just not learned how to manage their finances properly. There are definitely a few who have just been given the worst hand and could not find a way to prevent them from getting onto the streets, some of whom I've had the pleasure to get to know.

The moral dilemma is pretty complicated, do we give them things so that we can feel good about ourselves or are we just sustaining their lifestyle "over there" so that they don't affect us "over here". You know what I mean? Handing them a place to live and a job to go to doesn't solve the problem of a person who is incapable of helping themselves. Of course some can be helped but they are in the minority.

[@ronmckee9019]

@@mattd1188 I agree with you guys. When I say help I didn't mean just hand them everything free and that's helping and so I should've further elaborated. And for 1 know they are not all just a bunch of loser bum drug addicts. For 1 a large percentage of our homeless or appearing homeless population are our Milletary Veterans who put their lives on the line for all of us and it destroyed them mentality and physically and they end up in a bad place financially and with reintroduction into society. And they deserve what ever money, hardwork and resources it takes to help them. Also many of the others are with mental problems also and I for 1 do not subscribe to fuck everyone with a problem because that's the easy answer. Also drug addiction is a disease and we don't typically say fuck the other people with illness or disease. When someone has cancer do we say fuck you get over it. Pull yourself up by your boot straps and get past that heart disease. It's a cruel way of thinking to just write off human beings. Not to mention the real root of the drug problem is drugs being illegal and big pharma corruption and greed and government corruption being bought off. All drugs should be legalized and it would illiminate most of the drug problem and associated crime and black market. People could be back under Doctors care and out of the Black market which would create a world of difference in it self. The government 1st flooded the streets with Dr. Subscription opioids so they can make trillions and then they pulled out the rug and pushed all those patients into the streets so now our corrupt government and friends get to get all that money tax free and in secret. Follow the Money. No One Cares! Most of the answers aren't easy and I don't have them but some are and I do and I just stated 1 big answer.

Drug addiction is mental health. And for the people putting them down are ridiculous. Everyone tries drink or drugs they don’t know they are going to be addicts or that it would affect them differently. The only way to prevent it is to find out who will be an addict or not and there not going to test everyone are they . So there will always be addicts while there is drink and drugs. Drink is a drug btw but you people probably don’t know that by your barbaric views on addiction.

@Patient Care Associates Ahhh... if things were that simple then we could just blame everything on "drugs and the devil" and then we would at least have an idea where to begin fixing it. Mental health issues often have zero to do with anyone's 'choice', but I agree with your point #1. Mental health or (lack there of) often proves to be the underlying cause for homelessness, and when coupled with drugs, the outcome can not result in anything productive or healthy. Housing costs along with other issues are relevant, but mental health + drug abuse (often to self-medicate) the mental and emotional hardships seem to cause the downward-spiral for many people who end up homeless. It all begins with our childhood, and with what many people go through that leaves them traumatized for the rest of their lives. Of course this is a generalization, and Not some blueprint' to be used in describing every homeless person. More often than not however, The drug-abuse is a coping mechanism for a deeper underlying problem, and the avalanche begins from that particular point of origin.

I agree to a point, but these are not the down-on-their-luck types portrayed in the media. These are mostly people with serious long-standing addiction and mental issues. I know this because I live a short distance away where homeless were living along a two mile stretch of a popular river trail. Shelter and mental health services were offered on SEVERAL different occasions by public and private organizations over a 6 month period but there were very few takers. The reason being is that these services have very strict rules forbidding weapons, alcohol, drugs, and pets (especially rats, raccoons, opossums, and skunks - yes, skunks). These people just want to be left alone to do their drugs and each other and do not want help. Sorry, but that's the reality of the situation. If people really want to help the homeless, then they need to find out the root causes of their addictions and mental issues BEFORE they end up on the streets. Because once they're here it's already too late.
