    Your voice can help end homelessness. If we do not fix the affordable housing crisis, homelessness will continue to get worse. Click here invisiblepeople.tv/getinvolved to tweet, email, call, or Facebook your federal and state legislators to tell them ending homelessness and creating more affordable housing is a priority to you.

    Best way to relay this message is clearly with non aggression, non hostilities and with politeness. Because people will eventually see the presence of the devil if it's there. Showing short videos, shedding light on the ugliness, darkness and the nastiness of the joblessness and homelessness phenonena.

      If God is omnipotent, why does he let the devil perform all of these evil deeds, in fact, why did he create the devil in the first place?!?!

      @fugu_13 5 ปีที่แล้ว

      @AllGuts NoGlory hey well that didn't answer my question, God is supposed to be omnipotent, all-powerful, so the reason he lets the devil do these things eludes me...

    • @fugu_13
      @fugu_13 5 ปีที่แล้ว

      @AllGuts NoGlory yes, manmade indeed! God used to be more interventionist in such scenarios back in the Old Testament days (although why he created things like sin and temptation in the first place still baffles me), maybe he's moved onto other projects (and perhaps he's come to the realisation that a purely good human race works much better in Earth v2/3, or whatever he's working on nowadays)...

    There is no affordable housing. Rents are ridiculous. You literally need thousands of dollars to get into an apartment. Jobs don’t pay you enough to cover rent plus regular living expenses. And don’t have kids.

    It is far less expensive and much more productive, to simply give homeless folks a grant of about $10,000. That is how much it cost me to go from homeless in San Francisco to having my own stable home. I pay $500.03 a month lot rent and own my RV and my car. I expect my rent to increase to $550.03 in April 2019. I will likely begin to transition to living in my RV on the curb in front homes with extra green lawns. I'm tired of going without everything just to have a place to park. The oil and gas industry has over inflated rent prices in my area of Colorado. There two vacant lots next to me that have been paid for by the pipeline company. Paid to sit vacant all summer! Think about that. Folks here are begging for a legal RV living spot. Yet the pipeline can afford to rent the spots AND NOT USE THEM? Shameful.

    That’s exactly, why we need self sustainable off Grid earthhouses, worldwide, governments have to help people, building these. Then, all rudimentary needs are fulfilled and people can decide, whether they work more, to make luxury dreams come true, no problem at all. Solutions are there, just have to turn into reality.

      Yuppies don't owe you anything, dude. Let me help you here, okay? First law of Planet Earth is: if you are depending on the GOVERNMENT for ANYTHING, you're gonna be disappointed. Second law is: See Law #1. If your plan is to cash disability checks for the rest of your life, regardless of the nature of your disability, you are taking the opportunity that God has given you as a white guy in the most prosperous and opportunistic country in the world, during a very good period in human history....financially speaking...and wasting it. Try working! Mow lawns, blow leaves, learn carpentry, deliver pizzas....do SOMETHING! Put down the chips and stop crying and work as if you're a Mexican immigrant hungry for work. Your hard work will be rewarded and you will eat and have a roof over your head. Try it. You'll like it.

    There are many things that could be improved upon. Such as, changing it to where elderly can own their own home and qualify for some of the assistance. It makes no since that they sell there home and move to a nursing facility when, nursing facilities cost 6000 a month.

    I'm retired, and on social security. I retired in 2006. I worked for May Co, a Hugh retail corp, for 26 yrs. May Co went out of business, and Federated took over. I had stocks, that lasted about 8 yrs. Now I'm living on social security. I know that social security was always meant to be supplementary, but folks r living on it now, in their older yrs, more and more. It's a Hugh problem now, with the housing crisis all over the world now. The average waiting list, for senior housing, is 5 to 7 yrs. I live in Danbury, Ct. It's Fairfield County.

      @@InkdNXS I disagree. But then again, I grew up in Queens, NY in the 70's. My Dad worked in sanitation in the Bronx. I remember a time when seeing piles upon piles of cigarette butts at every stop light, and trash covering the highways, was a common occurrence. I live in south Charlotte, and most places are well maintained and clean. And that would be a draw, for me, if I was homeless. But the situation with the homeless is becoming heartbreakingly difficult. I can almost guarantee that I will come across several just while I'm out doing errands. I've been approached for money more times here, than anywhere else.

    Healthcare and housing is owned by the insurance corporations and banks. They only want profit, before people. There's enough housing for everyone in this country but the banks keep the prices of rent and mortgages artificially inflated. Wages are not rising fast enough to keep up. The foreign real estate investors contributed to the high cost of housing too.

    • @CraigFactsareFacts
      @CraigFactsareFacts 5 ปีที่แล้ว

      @@InvisiblePeople Homelessness IS an American problem that effects us all. However, it is prudent and reasonable to explore how this happened and who is making policies that encourage homelessness. Giving people needles and money who then buy drugs with it is a policy that liberals have embraced. Sorry, I know you're a liberal, dude, but Republicans don't have needle programs! Making excuses and not exercising discipline when it comes to getting off drugs and being an active and consistent worker in society is NOT helping! While "love" is necessary, so too is "tough love". Otherwise, you're enabling a huge population of entitled, sad and motivation-less dependents....and everyone loses. If we hold our elected officials accountable (the clowns in San Fran, LA, Portland Oregon and Seattle are good places to start....not to mention New York, Philly, Detroit and Baltimore...all liberal cities) then they will understand that this is a serious problem and strong policies need to be implemented not just to accommodate homeless people, but to facilitate an environment that discourages rather than encourages it. That's a win/win. By the way, I like your videos and think you are helping.

    Sorry but it's extremely difficult for me to believe the millinials are so high tech and wealthy and well educated, they can throw our entire economy and housing into a tail spin. Raising the entire countries wage over building affordable housing in every city is ridiculous and unattainable. BUILD THE HOUSING!

  • @Doug-do7ge
    @Doug-do7ge 5 ปีที่แล้ว +5

    Not sure how to fix the problem but to blame it on the job market is not the answer. Not all jobs are meant for adults who have a mortgage. Most positions in the hospitality field are meant for high school and college kids or a part time job. Not all but most. Chances are if you graduate high school get married and stay out of jail you will not be poor. Nothing bothers me more than hearing her say she received millions of dollars for homelessness. How much of that is going to get spent on beaurocricy and salaries? My guess is alot.
    I enjoy your videos keep it up and hopefully you can make a difference!!

    What a beautiful and amazing woman! I think it's cool she is from Columbia originally :) For me, watching this highlighted the generational split there can be, thinking about Millenials and tech (when she mentioned the tech industry, etc.). I'm a Gen-X-er (50) and though some of my best friends are "Millienials," there can be some differences in our expectations and life experiences based on what things were like growing up. Maybe this generation can help shift how we think about community. We have to create this shift. I love so much that you are showing some of the beauty of the Carolinas... we don't have a great reputation in the south but there is some big-heartedness.
