Tense Situation at Venice Cleanup Deescalates: LAPD Helps Overcome Homeless Encampment Challenges

[@slenderwoods5301]

I used to be homeless, all it takes is work and a shelter to start in and move back up to having a regular life. I never did drugs or drink and the first job given to me I took and gave it over 100%. I hope everyone gets that chance and takes it.

[@phoenixman8569]

That is a good sentiment, but most of these guys are chronic meth, fentanyl addicts, you give them a room and they trash it, you give them opportunities to get clean and most refuse, what I'm saying is most of these guys are not in thier right minds and can be dangerous, no matter what you offer them, they will choose the drugs and the street, over shelter aand employment.

[@sandyvalentin3072]

Well said

[@oceancat0450]

But doing drugs in a tent is so much easier than actually getting a job. Good on you for turning your life around.

[@joelpineda2042]

I was homeless too. Even with a shelter once an employer finds out that u were homeless ur chances of getting hired r out the window. That brother is rt. At the end NO ONE gives a fukk. Before they tell people to go they HAVE to have another spot for them even if it's the streets. That ALL they ever do is just tell u to go. Glad u had luck. The majority of the homeless will NEVER find it

How nice of the city to clean the living space of the homeless so they can move right back in after they get done disinfecting the sidewalk!
