TAKE NOTICE: A Camp for the Homeless

[@paulwood2329]

How ironic is this? Homeless build them themselves a safe place to live, they have helped themselves. Then the government make them homeless again!

[@mrmustangman]

yep, thanks government and politicians.!!!!!!

[@patriotwarrior4freedom569]

[@TheMarkanthony5]

What an absolute disgrace to remove these people from the camp, they respected each other had a community.Looked after the camp environment and the nature around it.Were totally civilized only to end up on dirty streets and cold alley ways. Shame on the state and the authority's for allowing this to happen. There should be more camps like this. Any one of us could end up in this position. How are people suppose to get on in life if they cant even have the basic right to live!! Shame on the government too.

[@bertThugh2]

mark farley This "state" that Americans are in was planned. The gov't & its special interests deliberately set things up so Americans will be reduced to a "third world" status. They did not 'let' it happen, they planned it to happen. This is not a "theory." I have been, along with millions of others, been watching it go down for a couple decades now. We all are seeing it, but so many Americans don't want to know what it means nor the why of it, nor where it ends up. Apathy is rampant in America, & it is costing us all. those who want to bury their head in the sand, & think the next person "elected" will straighten all this out. BS magical thinking, wishful thinking. Lots of people say the gov't would not do this. That's because their heads are focused on the TV,& never on the world around them, even when it is their own fellow citizens who are sounding the alarm. Many people are under the delusion that our gov't will let them know all we need to know, & don't want to think that our gov't tells us only what They need for us to know. Therein lies a big difference between the two. People think our gov't will come around to help sooner or later. That is exactly the attitude the gov't cultivates. It of course, will do no such thing, except to herd us where it wants us, & it is doing exactly that right now. Homelessness is no accident or "sign of the times." It is part of a careful plan. The New World Order dictatorship is moving along nicely.

[@touxiong519]

The reason it's difficult for them to find a place to stay is not because the city officials wouldn't allow them, it's because all the land has owners. The owners don't like people being on their land that they payed for.

[@lestatangel]

Carly Fournier - They can provide a solution for themselves. No one is providing solutions for me, or the majority of the rest of society. And there's a big difference between providing housing food clothing Medical Care transportation, which just enables them, and getting at the Crux of the problem which is drugs. Until you stop the supply of drugs and this liberal mindset of providing everything for people who can provide for themselves if they actually had to, the inner cities are going to continue to become 4th World Shitholes. You do realize don't you, that when you just give things to people instead of having them earn their way, that it is negative. How could anyone possibly have any self-esteem if they were not pulling their weight. ? Oh I get it. They are so f****** high on dope they don't need self esteem. They just need more handouts at the rest of society's expense. smh

Absolutely right. Life rips the rug out from underneath you sometimes, without provocation or warning, and suddenly you are without your basic needs. People are so quick to judge but fail to realize that it can happen to anyone, regardless of race, sex, or financial stability. Mental illness and addiction (sometimes both happening simultaneously) run rampant in these communities. The world needs more people like you who operate with empathy and love.

The governments of the world need destroying instaid of them hiding & living it up in their ivory Towers protected from the General public.

[@armywife274]

This isn't about people from other countries. It isn't like our government is taking money from homeless support programs and are giving it to assist people to relocate in the US. This is the result of capitalism and privatization of mental health care, substance abuse treatment, the habitual criminalization of poverty, and the "I got mine, go get your own" mentality of our citizens. Microloans, sponsorship, and financial support of local organizations is the best way to help...because I am sure after making such an ugly post you are more than ready to HELP, right?

[@SSanf]

There should be a free, self governing, no questions asked, public camp for anyone who wishes to stay there regardless of income or circumstances. A person's reasons for being there should be a private matter. The camp should have adequate toilets, showers, trash pick-up and a heated, safe, community structure where people can sleep when the weather is dangerously cold. It should be supported by donations and whatever the campers can provide for themselves. It should have accessible public transportation. It should be enlarged to the capacity needed. There should be such a camp in every part of the country where five or more people request one.

[@ronniemead805]

[@choose1909]

[@glennyj65]

Most people who live in a house are barely making it as it is. Sounds like another well intended drain on everyone else. I would encourage all bleeding heart, self=appointed "caring folks" to actually volunteer for helping the homeless. More than HALF of them are fine with their "laid back life of sloth and the insignificant footprint left on this planet. I was raised and taught that EVERY person alive has a duty to the world they live in to do what they can to make it a better place. That's the opposite of selfishness. Show me an addict, I'll show you a selfish person. It's that simple, and buying them things and coddling them only steepens the slope to hell for them. Folks who feel pity for these people are mostly ignorant of the lifestyles they have and their preference to remain as they are.....until they shoot up that one last time and leave this world. You can believe what the media portrays the people as, or you can actually go hang out with them a couple of days and nights, and quickly see thru the bullshit.

This person should be ashamed of himself for complaining to authority about them maybe one day he might be in the same situation. They need a place that they can sit up camp instead of putting them on the streets to have to find a place to sleep. These people are human beings and need the same respect that you would want.. we are all Gods children. I pray that they find another place that they can call home again.

I truely would if i could. But as im skint because i cant work because of my disability i dont have much money coming in. So I can't sadley. But i often think if i had the land i would welcome the homless onto it & provide as many tents as i could so thay could have somwhere to live in peace. But its always the case the ones of us who don't have much are always the ones who are 1st to try & help the less fortunate out. Its very very rare to see or hear of a money loaded person offering any sort of help to anybody beneath them. They prefer to stay on top and leave the poor lowdown so them ritch shits have someting to stand on to be higher than the rest of us. Jim... 2019.

[@touxiong519]

You know I was thinking the same thing, but different. I was thinking about buy a plot of land in the Midwestern part of the us with a stream and forest and good farming land. That way I can settle down and live close to nature. And anyone who are willing to work and abide to the rules can stay there too. Haha but one thing stands in the way, money. So as of now I'm working to build a business to create a cash flow so I could do that. Of course it's for me and my own selfish reasons, but anyone who obeys the rules can stay. Lol it's a kids dream.

Amen Sir ! We all need to help the homeless as they all had mothers , fathers, and maybe a married life with kids, but maybe not a good life , such as being in a abusive relation ship, or living with an alcoholic or drug addict, ect. ect. It could happen to anyone of us , I know as I used to love to play the slots so much that I got in debt , so then I sold my home to pay the debt , yet what money was left I gambled away . Later I managed a rental place for apartments and stole money from the owners , saying that some apartments were empty , when in reality I had rented them and took the money to gamble . Yep you got it , I ended up in jail. We all have our own demons , so who are we to judge . Just someone that felt like us , would actually win a BIG LOTTO , and put their words to do good.

[@lolyyyuwuy9542]

how's progress?

[@jasonkinter9700]

I'm 44. When I was 22 I wanted to know what being homeless was like. I was fresh out of the Navy and wanted to travel for a year before reentering the workforce. I was educated, had a little money, just spent 4 great years on the sea, single... free. But I was desperate for adventure, more education. Not the type my GI Bill would provide and not the type you get sitting in class. I decided to sell or give away most of my possessions and begin a homeless trek westward as an experiment, or better yet an experience. Within 1 week of my drastic decision, I left Va with nothing more than a backpack, $400 cash and my wits. I rented a storage unit in Va for 18 months prepaid just to store extremely important documents, photos, and small belongings. I locked it up and told no one of its location or that I was disappearing for an undetermined amount of time. I boarded a bus and headed for California. It was the mid 90's and it was the destination for despot hobos back then. My goal was to document a full year of living homeless, and joining a homeless community. I spent the first week under a bridge living close to 3 other wanderers. I learned very quickly what I still believe is true today. Being homeless for MOST people is a choice based on a lack of drive and motivation. Period. I met terrific people. I met horrible people. Most of the people I met along the way were addicted to one substance or another. Their lack of motivation was usually a huge factor in becoming addicts, and once you're an addict, there's very little hope of ever regaining that motivation, especially when you're broke and homeless. The cycle keeps these people "lost". During that first week I tried to fit in as much as possible. I even experimented with various drugs (no needles, though). I quickly became bored with the lazy pace and lack of ambition. I tried to tell myself that I am still too fresh, that some of these people had given up on life. 6 weeks in and I was starting to feel truly homeless. Scruffy, not so clean, tired looking, a shoulder injury. I helped others collect cans and bottles, scrap metal and tires. Monotonous and very little reward. Surely that had to be another way of making money (without getting a legit job, of course). I stuck with it, vowed not to break down and get a real job or return to Va. Any given day I had less than $1 in change in my pocket. My initial 400 was gone within the first 2 weeks. I laid awake one night listening to some others talking in a tent nearby. They wanted to rob tourists in Santa Monica. I knew it was time for me to move on to a new community. Before the sun came up, I packed my bag and left the bridge. On my way out I met a young girl, 19, who also wanted to leave. So, we left together. She, for other reasons. Tanya said she was sick of the lazy, shameful act of panhandling freeway exits. If you had 8 hours to sit there and hold a sign, surely you had 8 hours to walk around and look for some type of work. I agreed. I was finding it impossible to be in big cities and NOT stumble into a job. Seriously. People offered me a job several times every week. But I was determined to finish a full year. I came up with an odd way to earn money. Good money, fast. I was situated in a suburb of LA and surrounded by golf courses. During my many shortcuts through the woods I would find dozens of random golf balls strewn about the ground. As a golfer myself I saw the value in these balls. I began collecting golf balls and cleaning them. A few dozen at first, then hundreds, then thousands. I developed a system for locating balls at night in the woods and marshes next to particular golf course fairways. I'd hustle a few dozen here and there, to golf course pro shops, print ads (yes, before Craigslist), flea markets, etc. It started slowly. $15/day then $50/day then more than I could handle alone. Soon, I had to upgrade my shelter to accommodate the added gear for cleaning and sorting golf balls. Then, there was the whole "keeping it secret because I didn't want thieves to steal my product" thing. Being homeless was starting to slow me down. I'm 10 months in and I have over $9000 from 3 months of "balling". Mind you, I had no "bills". 2 months to go. But I caved and rented a safe deposit box for my cash. Tanya helped me a great deal and I paid her very well. In fact, within a few weeks she had enough to buy a van and finally leave. But not before she wrecked my experience. One day I returned from the hardware store, buying cleaning products and 2 more large tubs. Walking through this secret part of the woods to my little camp, I noticed pieces of my home scattered about everywhere. All was destroyed or stolen. Everything. I started over at a new location. After 14 months I packed up and headed back home with a sizable little stash and a business idea. Today, after decades of working corporate management, I have returned to golf balling. Only this time with a license, contracts, insurance, taxes and space to work in. For 4 years I've been doing this and now make more annually than I ever did working for someone else. But it all started while being homeless and penniless. I couldn't fathom the idea of sitting around waiting for someone to give me a handout. Or spending hours laying around in a tent, or at intersections with a sign. Some homeless are truly incapable of helping themselves and/or have ended up this way due to no fault of their own. BUT a majority of them are simply lazy. Able-bodied physically + mentally = no excuses! There's always a way.

[@nmortenson]

Jason I'm in totally agreement my journey as a single mom for 20 years working 3 jobs and I am not saying this to make ANYONE feel sorry for me. I am so blessed to have the drive and not make excuses as to not make these youtube videos saying "I" a million times. Everyone has a story. Well, learning a long time ago, no one cares about your story at all. Unless you have done great things. my job is working with homeless, mentally ill and abused victims and I can tell you 85% is so intitled and looking for something for NOTHING!!! If I was a home.owner and your camp was 50 feet from my property line I would bring in a bulldozer. All my life of paying for my 30 year homeloan to let you take my property value down is displaying no reguards to anyone but yourself. I sure did notice all the people without teeth though mmmm look like a duck and walks like a duck.

Unbelievable! Thank you for showing this!

[@touxiong519]

Face life as you would death, forget about pride, forget about face, forget about name. Forget about what people will think of you. Forget about the separation of those who are better and those who are not. Forget about what society have bestowed upon you as good and bad. Listen to the Lord, he speaks through your heart. Return to the nature of peace and harmony, and help out the people around you. Hahaha I think I might go find a camp like this and live in it for a while, just to learn some personal discipline. If we don't know emptiness how will we know when we are full.

SEVEN YEARS AGO?! WHAT HAS BEEN done to improve the lives of these people? I cannot comprehend how people get to this point..

[@Lollylovestealth]

Fees on top of fees, pay fee and tax to pay rent, than the landlord charge late fee and tax, than you just lose it and run away

[@jksharma7]

A Great work to open the eyes of Ruthless Society...

[@springtrap7797]

They have no were to go but yet they still know they have to fight to live in horrible conditions. Are government needs adjustments. These people with vouchers in hand still can not find landlords, each and everyone should have had a place preauthorize before they were again made permanently homeless; this is negligence and abuse of power at it's finest

That was 2012. It would sure be interesting to see a documentary on how they are doing now.It is sad how heartless some people are to people who are struggling. However, it was uplifting to see the many who helped.

Truly so sad. One day I’ll purchase a lot and allow the homeless to call it home.

[@42ayla]

Great in theory but the township will shut you down. I've tried letting someone stay in my back yard and bi-law put the kibosh on that. A local church tried letting some stay on their property and they were shut down too. Big brother has his ways. It's disgusting.

How did people live for thousands of years? Humans have forgot i guess

[@steveshea6148]

Well in the paleolithic they lived in small semimobile hunting and gathering bands at quite low population densities. In the neolithic anout 10,000 years ago more permanent settlements and farming started to filter in. The difference is that now all land is claimed by property rights and there is no legal place to just set up a community for those on the margins. Yes you can probably set up a camp by yourself or maybe a couple more people but once it starts to grow enough to be noticeable the city or town will jump in and disband it. Keep in mind also that life expectancy in the paleolithic was maybe 43.

[@charlesaguilar1708]

+Steve Shea I set up a place to stay but, I never told anyone where and I never left any signs that I was there. IT worked out as I had a job,saved my money and found a place to rent out. Others can do the same if they put their minds to it! GET OFF the drugs/alcohol and make contacts with people who will give you work! Save your money for a while and for a better future.

[@phillipespinoza9378]

[@joedog3977]

government should definitely allow homeless camps on pieces of land to help out the homeless. if they are worried about crime allow police checks and small searches once a week.

[@tonyrigo9096]

The government wants tax dollars that's what the problem is

[@VladTheImpalerTepesIII]

@@tonyrigo9096 is the only one in this comment section that gets it. If the govt allowed people to live in tents then they would et a lot less property taxes. It's all about taxation. But you have to realize that less taxes leans less welfare, too. So it's a double-edged sword.

[@susansaunders6899]

I own a chunk of land and no longer can do the up keep on it!!! I would love to have a few of these wonderful people live on my land and help me take care of it!! I can't even get people to help me with it when I offer to pay them!!! I need homeless people!!! I would never make them move it they make my land look cared for!!

Anyone who feels we should allow illegal immigrants to invade our country - 100,000+ in April 2019, we should feed them, provide housing, food, medical care - etc. should WATCH THIS VIDEO! Everyone pass it on to your friends, co-workers,and family we AMUST take care of our fellow Americans - from infancy thru the elderly! America for Americans!

[@42ayla]

Hell yeah. Immigrants need to go. Drury, that's an English name isn't it? I'm sure your family's going to be glad to see you back home. Unless you somehow attained indigenous status along the way. Bon voyage!

[@michaelmueschgambino3140]

i usto live like this. and i must say they are the most caring individuals i have ever met. maybe it was the most important part of my life. cause alot of people make fun of the homeless and i was that way also. but damn do they take care of you. and the cops are so supportive of this cause theres no crime involved

[@kathyroebuck7345]

When the lights go out. The homeless people will know how to live.

[@VladTheImpalerTepesIII]

NO they won't. Most homeless people panhandle or get help from a shelter. Once people do not have money to give and shelters close, they are fucked. Homeless people are far from survivalists.

[@DebtBuysFreedumb]

I've been in this situation quite a few times. It's the reason why I don't have kids nor have alot of material possessions. You can lose everything at any time. And believe me the help out there is minimal and bleek. The government acts poor and spends rich. Your best bet if your in a hard spot to do your research on moving to a differnt spot. Look for medium size city's with low unemployment. You will have no hard time finding work.

[@voice9847]

Let me understand this: We are the richest country in the world. We can provide shelters for millions of people around the world in catastrophic events: Philippine, Syria.. We also can pay hundred of billions of dollars to rebuild Iraq, Afghanistan. We contribute billions more to shelter animals that were abandoned by their owners. But WE CAN'T HELP OUR FELLOW AMERICAN? Yes, they had issues at beginning with. Yes, they are addicts. Yes they are ex-con. But YES THEY ARE HUMAN BEING. Now what you do better? You evicted them? They dispersed all around your neighbor too. They have to sleep on the concrete and expose to the elements. They are many thousands and still growing around this country BUT we can't solve this problem??? We can help illegal immigrants. We have law to let them go to school and pay at in state fees, take care of them when they are sick. BUT WE CAN'T HELP LESS THAN A MILLION HOMELESS AMERICAN.

[@alarahillton1343]

Capitalism does not allow you to stop. You must walk until you die. - There are many reasons for homelessness but at the root of all of it will also be abuse. Many people are abused and never get psychological help. That kind of help works part of the time. But, we really are our brothers keeper--capitalism doesn’t allow that. Only long distance. Or war for profit interests the powers that be. It’s all appearances; and the increase in people who can’t function is no coincidence..... God is testing us....and we are failing miserably.

[@uglyturnips2813]

Im badly in need of a place like this right now. I’m in southern Oregon and need this.

[@fourscoreandsevenyears7768]

I feel for these people, that was pretty heartless booting them like that. Todays times are very hard specially the older you get I know first hand. I lost a job of 5 years & have not been able to get much in employment for around 3 years. I was totally unemployed for over 2 years then got 2 jobs, one I was making very low wage the other like double the wage I was planning to cut the low wage job & suddenly was terminated from the higher paying job, terminated for a very lame reason as I was from the other job. This kind of crap is happening all across this country along with the over flow of illegals who are lowering wage standards being it will be much more than where they come from in most cases. I don't blame them I blame our government for allowing this to be happening. I also blame corporate America for being so greedy they also allow this to happen. I think people need to leave these people in these tent cities alone & work on solutions to the cause of what is making people create these tent cities bottom line. All they are doing is trying to have a place to live & sleep in this ridiculously bad economy, it is bad I know as I said first hand. I will be losing everything soon if things don't get better soon I can not survive on my current wage & it's only part time, I have been living on retirement wage which is close to gone & I am 48 with no retirement, yea America the land of opportunity what a joke! For who is what I'd like to know? Americans need to start banding together again & take back what is rightfully ours this really needs to stop, not one damn American should be jobless or home less unless of course they chose to be.

I believe a total collapse is just around the corner, and a lot of people who shun and ridicule you now, will one day be joining you. Maybe then you will be in a position to teach them a thing or two, starting with empathy, humility, and community. Keep on fighting the good fight, I hope you persevere despite your obstacles.

[@fourscoreandsevenyears7768]

You are very kind, thank you very much. I do hope some day the right people will rise and teach those who need to be taught. We have to many no it all's that know absolutely nothing and to many who know something and has experienced many things that are un-heard. "empathy, humility, and community" we are seriously lacking these things as a society. People need to put down the smart phones, ipads and lap tops for a moment to have a look at these things. Thanks again for your kind words.

What our country is doing to it's poorest citizens is unconscionable. Social welfare has not been evenly distributed for a long time now. The shit our govt is up to is shady to the max. And lets not even talk about the rich. Most of those people are grossly overpaid and hardly irreplaceable. There is a lot of suffering in the world and more than ever in USA. Makes me sad and mad. Praying for all the dispossessed from Camp Take Notice.

[@justgivemethetruth]

This video is very good, the stories are heartbreaking, and the country, state, county and cities should all be doing something for these people to help them. Most of them are good people, and the bad ones will fall out soon enough. When do the bad rich people fall out and end up in jail? Destiny should not be having a baby, this just makes the problem worse.

[@MissFoxification]

If you want to help, propose and enforce a change in laws which allows for exemptions to insurance, zoning and sanitation laws. Encourage your councils to allow such places, within reason. (For example, well managed and clean "tent cities".) These places are a stepping stone where there was none, it might just be one step from the bottom, but it is a step. Evicting the homeless, what a sad reflection on our society.
