Imagine the Democratic Party not helping the people! Not a shocker, platitudes without actions always around election time. They pass funding bills that mostly never seem to actually reach the people it’s supposed to support.
This is exactly why our government shouldn't be wasting trillions of dollars on useless and endless wars abroad. This country has an urgent need of affordable housing.
if its not affordable they will have to lower the price until someone can afford to buy it. you do realize there is a cost to building and the more the government regulations there are regarding who how and where to build is a main driver of those costs.
@@branchingoutnurseries4403 absolutely, and it appears local governments have haf more control over housing inventories over time than states and the federal government. Just as an example, our city has increased the cost of building fees for a single family home from less than 10K in the early 90's to over 75K today and as a result have cut new construction by over 70% over the last 10 to 12 yrs. That 75K is a combination of the building permit cost, water and sewer connections, and other "development" fees. The city claims it's had to raise fees so much to at some point in the future replace aging infrastructure. The same applies to the development of buildable land. Prices have gone up 400% in the last 30yrs. Quite a lot more than incomes. Zoning and public works is another issue as well
@@rafaelmariscal9170 We have to abolish corporate real estate speculation. These speculators are to blame for the homeless crisis. We should nationalize the housing stock. No one should be allowed to own a home unless they live in it!
Any old time our government needs money it will print more, easy as that.
And billionaires will funnel the bulk of it out of the country and hoard it in Swiss banks.
That money is representative of value is a flexible concept.
Government's money doesn't work like bank accounts do for states, cities, and people; currency is a popular way to reinforce social power hierarchies and justify imprisonment and removal of 'undesirables' (a.k.a. not valuable to the state or corporations) ; war is only another favorite scapegoat to blame for problems our elected leaders are too lazy to either fix or, if they did fix them, too lazy to come up with an explanation for.
The U.S. is always at war somewhere but it may not be branded as war. And it's always been in civil war with itself, but it's so one sided we have to dehumanize and villanize the appearance of its victims to continue allowing it. So, don't.
I don't.
I won't.
It's wrong. All of it.
It's wrong.
Stop it.
You have hit the nail on the head
The solution: Put these people in the abandoned housing in exchange for work. I’m sick of this narrative that poor people don’t want to work. They not only want to work, but they’re usually the hardest workers. Give them the dignity of shelter and let them work in exchange. That addresses multiple problems because, believe me, we need more people willing to do manual labor.
Everyone deserves a home in the richest country in the world regardless of their ability or desire to work.
Rich people don't work, rich people own the news. And rich people project what they don't like about themselves onto the powerless, avoiding all sense of personal responsibility....a trait which they turn around and blame poor people for not having or using. They're just not very creative, these rich people. And so lazy.
@Raffine Debauche There are more than 10 million available jobs in the US, so nobody that wants to work should be unemployed. Squatting is stealing, no matter how you slice it. If somebody insists on living in somebody else's property without permission, they should at the very least pay a reasonable monthly rent into an escrow account and this lady in the video should make it her job to locate the owner and pay them that rent. I've never seen a squatter NOT destroy a property & the owner shouldnt have to pay out of pocket to repair those damages. If the squatter won't work and won't pay, that makes them a lazy, thieving, undeserving squatter.
@@einnAnnie That’s an overly simplistic assessment. Just because there are X number of jobs doesn’t mean they’re in the same area as the people that need them. I come from an area where the number of people wanting work FAR outnumbers the number of jobs available. And the majority of the people don’t have the resources to relocate to try and find work.
And let’s go back to the housing market collapse. PLENTY of property owners were bailed out. So, for them to act indignant about someone else getting a leg up off of them is insane. If you’re going to apply that kind of standard, it needs to be applied consistently and across the board.
@@gperson1967 But we still need work done. Digging your heels in and insisting on homeless people getting free housing is NOT going to move the needle. So, I guess it comes down to a question of priorities. Which is more important to you: Putting a roof over someone’s head or insisting that it be free?
What about people who aren't able to do manual labor? Why would you assume the work has to be manual? And what's the rest of your plan? So these people have a roof: that doesn't mean they can put food on the table. Do they get paid for working these jobs you're imagining?
The last time I checked, there are about 16,000 abandoned houses in Baltimore. And old Baltimore city houses were once as solid as a rock. That where all the funny infrastructure money needs to go. People are slowly weaning themselves from our infantile car culture.
Or people are just living in their cars now.
DO YOU REMEMBER THAT GOVERNOR ELI?? THAT DIED STOLE OVER 5 MILLION FROM THAT CITY
Looks like the pastor struck a cord. Well said. To God the Glory.
I live in a city of 60,000 in Indiana, and we have a Republican Mayor and a Republican town council, and there are homeless people EVERYWHERE right now. It’s absolutely horrific right now. It’s the worst it’s ever been, and they just go ignored mostly
Republicans and Democrats are controlled by the $ of eugenicists.
I’m in Indiana in a city that hasn’t had a Republican mayor in 50 years and there are homeless people everywhere. Can’t fix the issue without addressing addiction and mental health.
Same here in Seattle. The homeless is out of control. Poverty and drug/mental health addiction is a national emergency. There is no abandoned homes in Seattle, because developers have already taken over housing. There affectively is no affordable homes in Seattle anymore. $600k-1+M. So you know who that is for. A house bought for $117k in 1994 now accessed at 1.1M. The house was built in 1907. $600k is for townhouses. Crime is out of control.
It's basically not a partisan problem. The problem is poverty: the big monopolies that run our economy--and both parties--are busy amassing more wealth and throwing more and more people out of work.
So many empty homes in Ga...sitting for years.
I support their efforts 100%. Greed is killing our country.
democrat slush fund. same happened in breonna taylors neighborhood
What is a "democrat slush fund"? What are you babbling about?
Thank you!!all over America
The Municipaltility is worried the same as any Landlord. Will the people being helped respect and leave when the property is sold? And what will the condition of the property be? But they have to Provide other reasoning or none at all!
Yeah; try to imagine not having a home space, and let's see how productive you can be. Cover people's basic survival needs and watch how they grow and develop
I pray for humanity🙏🏾
And instead of terring down houses redevelop commercial buildings for low income houses
it takes money and resources to keep a low income building afloat. Tearing down means something else will take that spot, for business or new houses.
That's what they have been doing to California for years. So she just admitted to teaching people how to take over houses they don't own.
I think you missed the main point bro.
So what?
And it's legal and desperately needed. What is your point?
If HUD (which is part of the government) built and is maintaining those properties than aren't they public property? Also Finland solved it's homelessness problem years ago by simply giving everyone in the country a place to live.
@@MWhaleK so all our homeless can go to finland and live, right? Oh wait. Finland doesnt have open borders therefore allowing them to do better for their citizens. Cant have your cake and eat it too. Thats something adults are supposed to know.
The government needs to help the homeless but will they
Westmoreland County has issues too!!! Been going through it myself 4 years and waiting still!!!!
Did not expect Alyssa to be empathetic on this
"..these are properties built by HUD, owned by HUD..." Got to call BS on that, HUD isnt in the construction business, and the Federal Housing program is tax payer funded, how do they own any private residences, landlords other than for immigrants would be a state or local municipality issue or it would be on Federal lands such as a courthouse etc.
These abandoned properties are for the most part homes that had FHA mortgages and for whatever reason went into foreclosure, after all the legalities they become what is known as a HUD home. The time line from start to finish varies on many circumstances. HUD homes are normally put back on the market through real estate brokers, when first put on the market they are available for owner/occupiers only, if they don't sell, the properties are then available to be bid on by investors. The point is that the FHA was responsible for paying off the mortgage and reselling the property is their way of recovering some, if not all, of their losses.
Who do you think contracts those construction companies and developers?
I wonder if asset forfeiture abuse is a large portion of these unused homes.
It is happening in Idaho too
The only question that needs to be asked is who owns the properties
They answered that question at the top. Listening ears.
What?
The properties would not be livable if they are really abandoned - mold, mice, etc. would make them very bad places to live in.. the properties are maintained by the foreclosure servicer who comes in winterizes the property, cuts grass every two weeks, etc the desperate people will destroy the houses
Can a City or State Attorney General sue HUD? HUD may be breaking LIHTC law because they're artificially manipulating AMIs to raise rents on the low-income tenants.
Good
When people NEED HELP Social Services ONLY GIVES THEM $497.00 PER MONTH TO GET A PLACE TO STAY RENTS ARE 3-4 TIMES THAT MUCH,HOW ARE THEY EVER GOING TO GET ON THEIR FEET?, THEN THATS NOT IINCLUDING SECURITY. WHEREZ THE REAL HELP FOR THEM TO BE ABLE TO GET ON THEY'RE FEET
Finland solved it's homelessness problem years ago by simply giving everyone in the country a place to live. Why can't the USA?
Because they have a culture in finland that does not believe in killing people off to clear the way for investment and profit. These people who move some parts of our economy are incredibly predatory, inhumane.
We can't even get Universal Health Care.
Because that is COMMUNISM!
@@maggiejohnson6232 No it is not communism. Communism would make all housing to be exactly the same in its amenities, size and value and retain ownership in the name of the government. It maybe socialism, or Christian values expressed through the collective use of the people's taxes, but it is not communism.
Because rich people like feeling better than everyone else and the upper middle class has themselves convinced that they got where they are by earning it with all their hard work; thus anyone and everyone must suffer like they do or society will be ruined.
And collectively these people comprise the bulk owners of media and collectors of wealth, consumers of products. Everyone else is human waste. Human garbage collectors are called cops, they're waiting around every corner to pick up the human waste to make money for the prison industrial complex. The waste humans are turned into slaves who work for pennies to get free of their cell for an hour.
Do you get it?
Everything about our country is built on shoving people who are down, back down further. Keeping people in their place is what we're all about, not free houses.
Oftentimes, I'd rather not exist as it means having to humiliate myself and contribute to the exploitation of others in multitudes of ways. But I do because I must, we all must, in order for the vast lot of us to barely survive here.
U.S. is a s*thole.
If the government won't help us, WE NEED TO HELP OURSELVES!!!!!!! enough of the out of control corruption.
Badass
If these people are mostly ex-military
This ifes can be used in other cities
So the poor want to live for free
Time to nationalize the rental housing stock and abolish real estate speculation in the housing market.
Entitled. This is what you get.
Lord. The multiple people panel now is unwatchable.
People who claim that, because we have more empty houses than homeless people, we can just put homeless people in empty houses and solve the problem, think like children. That is a child's idea of problem-solving.
Prove it.
Saving them for refugees at taxpayers expense! The invading Afgans will have visa that entitle them to homes, food, foresee medical, education etc! All while homeless AMERICANS ARE LEFT TO LIVE ON THE STREETS!
What vaccinating kids under 12 have to do with this? Not sure everyone want their small children vaccinated especially after so many older kids taking it having issues.
If ever there's an army that deserves our tax dollar, it's the Poor People's Army. Keep fighting!
People need to stop having kids if they can't take care of them
Don't worry because I will never have kids
Keep Kim, get rid of Ryan
Wrong.
You thought democrats hud was great ..
As much as I appreciate the goal, there is still the argument of many people taking advantage of the system so they don't have to work as hard as all of those whom do own homes and pay taxes on the properties they own.
Is this organization going to help in this situation or just blindfold their victims and take what they want? Or do they have a plan to get them self sufficient?
