[@tenabruce3548]

I lived in Tulsa on the east side, and I seen lots of homeless people, and I couldn’t give them very much money, but I gave some a sandwich and a drink, because I used my foodstamps to get them something! I could only help a couple! God Please Help These People!!!

God bless the man who runs The Merchant and the other places that help homeless individuals.

SADLY, THIS IS HAPPENING ALL OVER THE COUNTRY AND THE WORLD!....AUSTRALIA, CANADA, JAPAN,.UNITED KINGDOM, UNITED STATES, ...THE LIST GOES ON

[@kasnuaku]

rent is the problem

[@brianmarcum8306]

If there are so many good Christian people in Oklahoma,why is there homeless people to begin with? WWJD

[@SS-iw2nq]

Drug addiction. You can’t help those who don’t want to live a drug free life and work an honest legal job. Many choose the streets and drugs even when offered shelter and employment opportunities. I’ve lived in Oklahoma for 13 yrs and still do. I see it first hand.

[@kushman425]

Amen

[@UHaulShorts]

Victim blaming?

[@kushman425]

Wow Tulsa Oklahoma homeless like that!!! This is happening everywhere and it's getting worse!!!😕😕😕😦😦

[@TheFireInside-3535]

Quit allowing big corporate hedges to come in and buy out the only homes that are affordable to for first time buyers. Housing is easily the biggest issue across America right now, not just Tulsas. The fact a handful of companies have a monopoly on rentals across America is beyond insane.

If the landlord stop being greedy and raising the rent and stop throwing people in the streets you wouldn't have homelessness best way you f****** fix it and stop discriminating you know what I'm talking about

[@actuallyitisrocketscience]

It’s not the landlords fault if cities put unfair expectations on them. The landlord may be someone who just owns a couple of houses and rents one out. It takes money to keep a house in good repair. New roof? New floor? Broken window? A/C, furnace, water heater and other appliances need service, repairs or replacement. The city doesn’t ante up that money. But they expect it to be painted, landscaped and new carpets/floors. Plus there’s property tax and insurance to consider. The owner might still have a mortgage to pay on the rental as well. Add it up.

[@m0dNaR4lyfe]

But they are paying $10,000 to move people to Tulsa thru Tulsa Remote.😞...help your community. Theres a serious strong need for love in that place. Please.🙏🏽

[@elenaceleste4363]

I think the government need to investigate if those homeless are moving to Tulsa to create a homeless community from other states like immigrants crossing the borders. We in Oklahoma can be targeted for this movement before it gets worst like Seattle, SanFrancisco, L.A., Philly. I have noticed that there are more and more walking with shopping carts full of belongings. 😢😢😢😢 Crime will increase and high health risk for lack bathroom/cleanliness.😢 Trash everywhere will be a big problem.

[@righteousbyfaithinChrist]

Only due to the sinister work of greedy corporate bullies..

[@galegrazutis964]

The corpert bullies as you reffer to them . Did make them lazy junkies

[@mysticseer19]

Clueless!!? Your only now realizing it's a problem.

[@tooge47]

life is a series of choices. Some people have chosen poorly

[@galegrazutis964]

ABSOLUTELY 💯

[@jmcnally647]

Most of the country is dealing with this issue now. Until America wakes the f-- up and realizes the affordable housing crisis affects EVERYONE and maybe we should not have such high housing prices nothing will be done. 3D home printing and other newer home building technologies are the answer. Flood the market with cheap homes people actually WANT to live in that are well built-charge no more than $150k for a 3/2 1500 sqft home-that would go a long way to help people secure their financial future and not end up on the streets. It's all over the country folks, and it's going to stay that way until laws change and affordable homes are available for EVERYONE-homes not based on people's income rather what people need for modern life. Nothing fancy, just good, solid homes like the ones from the 50s and 60s.

Bet yall do nothing about it
