Long term homeless are not that way due to economics. It is 90% drugs and/or mental illness. Problem is, by basically decriminalizing drugs, we are enabling users to continue their drug lifestyle. Drug addicts would rather sleep on concrete rather than go into a shelter that has any rules. This is practically a death sentence with fentanyl. And we no longer have the ability to compel the seriously mentally ill to be institutionalized, even if we still had the beds.

Accountability and charity are not mutually exclusive. You can provide a helping hand but not a hand out.

Also, its inhumane to let the homeless live in squalor and filth. So, what's needed is give them some support but require that they take it.

Nooooo, the most affected are the people who are actually living in that area. Just get a Bobcat into the encampment, and clear the place out.

[@djdcoy]

Seriously thought you were talking about the mountain cat. Thought wouldnt lion or tiger be more effective then realized bobcat the construction go kart thingy

[@KK-pm7ud]

Obviously the people who actually live there and pay rent and their mortgage are the ones most affected. But the news organization will be insincere just to get clicks and views because saying otherwise is a better "story."

[@khmernomad206]

Unhoused or unsheltered or homeless?

[@Jojo-oj1uz]

Voters are dumb. They should have done this since day 1. Rule of law for public affairs! Swallow it!

[@Dan-zu5fd]

The Solution is Simple----Get a GD JOB!

[@lynnbaker2336]

Are rents ten grand A month yet. ?

WHAT MODERN DAY SOCIETY ALLOWS THE UNHOUSED TO DIRTY THE PUBLIC SPACE AS THEY ALLOW. MAKE DRUGS ILLIGAL. MAKE BLOCKING THE SIDE WALK ILLEGAL. AND IF SOMEONE IS A DANGER TO SOCIETY/ CHILDREN GET THE THEM "HELP".

[@Americaone1]

If you go to your spot at night on public property dont block the sidewalk and leave by 6:00am no problem but the people with circus tents stolen shopping carts with junk and stay all day trashing the area their the problem 😮😮😮😮

[@user-ce7uf2ui1l]

Get to building some low income housing. Middle class families can't afford the rent these greedy landlords started charging when the Covid hit.

[@patricklavelle4615]

Homelessness is big business now. Is it helping? Hell no!

[@MylesStandish-oh6bq]

Lived I San Diego from 2012 to 2018. I wouldnt have left had this been passed earlier 😅

[@JoesCornerstadios]

Shelters are worse tham streets. Some shelters if you find a job take your paycheck soo you can save money. Streets is safer better option. Step 1 go after drug pushers life in prison. Step 2 rehab and mental Step 3 work and shelter program

[@cirezane]

They are squatting at others expense, time to go to work & fend for ur self

[@v10moped]

oh boo-hoo. These "these invisible people" need to actually get invisible. Im done sympathizing with them. Can't help them if they wont help themselves.

[@mattalley4330]

If you are on the street and are willing to work hard to get off it you can. Its as simple as that.

[@BrandonClaypool-jq8wb]

Designate areas of the city just for homeless.. empty park, empty building,accomidate homeless...get homeless off the sidewalks but find homeless a place to pitch tents..help all homeless, don't kick em down the road... I'm defending homeless rights, at least show some dignity... thanks!!kick addiction first!!! Find a program to help you off the street.....

[@tgarcia-rocha3629]

Damn you might have to fuck around and get a job and possibly your life together. What an injustice💁

[@tom8181]

county jail saved me 9 times

[@dregonzalez6815]

Other states make it harder for them and thy transit there way too California for drugs and help from the state

[@christianbrother4724]

Makes it harder to get drugs and booze.

[@Cooler989]

They don't want help

[@scottrobertson307]

Dude higher functioning means you can get a job so get one!

[@PelosiStockPortfolio]

Not working and collecting welfare check is easier. High functioning people know that

[@bcwsfo1]

They need to be moved to shelters indefinitely. If they refuse to go or they do drugs, put them in psyche wards.

[@terrybeasley5931]

When your lifestyle negatively impacts safety of other people you lose my sympathy. There IS help out there. They just don't want to follow the rules.

[@notown4204]
