Homelessness on the rise in Colorado and across America

- According to the Metro Denver Homeless Initiative, the number of people who reported first-time homelessness doubled from 2020 to 2021. Denver7's Rob Harris takes an in-depth look into homelessness, and the different ways advocates are working to help people get off the streets.
FORCED REHAB WITH HOUSING IS THE ONLY WAY FOR STABILITY, PERIOD.
🙄🖕
Agreed. I don’t know why some people keep thinking that housing alone is a solution to the homeless problem, most of the homeless people out there unfortunately, are mentally unstable, and cannot hold a job or become a productive citizen of society.
Our leaders really need to get to the core of the issue, mandated, or required rehab along with housing is the solution to stability, your comment a spot on.
Seeing what has become of Denver is sad. Growing up there in the 1970's and 1980's was a delight. But an incident that happened to me in 2019 forced me to say goodbye. I was on my way home from work when a homeless person on the 16th St. Mall asked me for some money. I politely told him I didn't have any. He became very angry and slashed my arm with his pocketknife. I moved to Phoenix primarily because it's not that far away (14 hour drive). I drove up to Denver this past August and the homeless problem has gotten worse. Phoenix has a bad homeless problem too but the city will not let the homeless set up tents in front of your house like I saw in many parts of Denver. Homelessness is a complex problem with different causes but the politicians in Denver have added fuel to the fire.
So sorry you had this happen to you. I agree. The politics and the people who vote for such policies have allowed denver to go downhill. We were once touring an apt complex and a homeless man almost assaulted my wife. Idk what would have happened if we didn’t lock the doors and drove away. He had a rock on hand. I truly hate this place now and we plan to move for work elsewhere. It’s gotten expensive as well and it’s constantly dirty and worse by the day. Even brand new areas like Stapleton are trash now. I think you did the right thing. I agree with other states doing a better job. This place will be the new Portland or LA. Very sad to see it happen. And the influx of people coming in are that high quality kinda folk who loves to contribute to society so this place is slipping fast. And the politics and policies of this place don’t help at all. Shame.
Only going to get worse.
Having lived in Denver area for 35yrs...I left and vomit when I see the DESTRUCTION of the lunatic left. Why CALIFORNICATE the beautiful STATE of Colorado ? Enjoy your ride to a SHEETHOLE
@@thomasboutin6045 We have tons of people from CA moving to Phoenix. They've driven up home prices and I hope what they did in CO doesn't happen to us in AZ.
@@drivingphoenix3019 I pray that you are correct. I think it's going to happen to the entire country because the TAKERS are winning until they MAKERS are tired of being used and robbed. Good luck
I’m from Los Angeles and just went to Denver a couple of days ago to see The Cure show. I went downtown with my buddy and his family to a Brazilian BBQ. We took the train in from Glendale. There were shady people smoking something out of tin foil. The restaurant was near Union Station and there were quite a few homeless people around. It kinda surprised me. It actually reminded me of Downtown L.A., which is next to Skid row. Downtown L.A. is all hipster next to Skid Row and they blend together near the border.
Who would have guessed that a market does not effectively and efficiently distribute? Property owners have no disincentive to increase rent or to jack up the prices of homes. People lose their livelihood so others can make a quick buck.
I no isn't that so sad , how could these people sleep at night , I guess they have no ❤️
@@paulalobato5987 I have a heart for homeless dogs, but not for druggies. I have to do what I can to stay afloat, and I don't have the bandwidth to care about someone actively destroying their own lives, and anyone in their path.
@@suesmith1769
It’s almost always a symptom of the problem. Your compassion astounds me. How many stray dogs do you actually take in and care for on a regular basis?
🦗 🦗🦗
That’s what I thought.
I’m sure your high horse is taken well care of though.
I became homeless in June. We get harassed a lot now.
Bull. You can find a job. Contribute. But sides LA or Portland I guess this place is the place to make a job out of asking for money and squatting wherever you want no problem.
@@AlexZ-lc6nl You can't get a job smelling like a homeless person and can't always get access to a shower. Very very few people would want to hire people like that.
@@wturner777 I beg to differ. I've seen homeless wash themselves in public restrooms or nearby lakes/rivers. Gym memberships are free in certain areas.
If you're homeless how are you able to post this comment?
Good. Get a job and start being a productive member of society. If it’s too expensive, move.
I was homeless in denver for a couple years and alot of people i knew all had the same story how they started using, it was all because of pharmaceuticals like oxycontin etc.
If anything why aren't we going after the CEOs of those pharmaceuticals?
They need to pay up for resources.
I was able to get clean after i got into a house.
While on streets i held signs, picked up trash, and i would take work if offered but it would never last long because they always wanted something more from me and if i declined to sleep with them id get the boot.
I was constantly harassed by people trying to traffic me, they steal my IDs, glasses, and anything else to degrade me.
I know this is all my fault for even doing drugs so im not looking for sympathy i just wanted to show a perspective from someone that was there and got out of it.
Ive been clean for almost four years now.
We will never reduce street homelessness without reducing the amount of fentanyl drug available on our streets. Fentanyl is everywhere and so cheap. Many will die from overdose, or drugs related violence.
If they die from fentanyl, wouldn't the numbers of users decrease?
@@Shadow__133 new ever young recruits replenish the ranks of homeless addicts/thieves. Dealers recruit our teenagers on social media without even knowing them. We have armies of people that flirt with drugs for fun or self medication purposes, and their brains are cloudy, so it's extremely easy to sell them fentanyl 💊 popular blues. You just call them bro, and tell them it's something cool, something new, something that will make them feel great for entire week. You would be surprised how stupid our kids are with no sense about real world.
To make matters even worse, fentanyl is getting replaced by nitazenes chemicals, and as it happens overdose deaths will just skyrocket with no end to it. We will be seeing dead bodies on our streets on regular basis ☠️💀 ⚰️
Drugs are bad mkay
It is a fact that the city of Austin has suffered environmental destruction of its housing and infrastructure due to catastrophic-runaway-anthropogenic-global-warming [CRAGW]. Today 7/26/2022 the St. Louis region experienced 7.02 inches of rain which is making many more people homeless due to the widespread flooding. So both St. Louis and Austin has lots of vacant land a 30 minute bus ride from the city. Where shelters provided by FEMA are established into campgrounds for 5,000 homeless families.

Homelessness has nothing to do with drugs and everything to do with failed RepubliKKKgun polices.
EVERY CHILD 🚸 SHALL HAVE A HOME 🏡🤯
Yes that’s true, but honestly due to inflation not every child can have a home
@@Jacobcrazystudios And what's really bad is so many children are orphans and are in foster care.
@@wturner777 :(
Not all people that are homeless are not on drugs . And Colorado is not doing enough to help these people that are on the street ,not to mention don't have anything to eat ..........smfh
Every weekend I go into downtown Denver. It seems to get worse.
The constant drum beat of human rights and never a peep about human responsibilities. YOU are always responsible for your actions. It’s tough Love… but I was always told growing up; “You’ve made your bed, now lay in it.”
What if someone else did it to you and you can't afford a lawyer. I'm not a druggie. I had a stable income and home for 10 years. Then boom bad crap happened in May, snowballed and now I'm homeless. Don't drink don't do drugs on disability just trying to live a quiet life. Now my world is upside-down. I think of suicide daily, if I don't find a permanent address soon I loose my disability.
@@lemonhead4368 haha
@@lemonhead4368 oh goodie- we get to pay for your "disability."
Lived in Denver and homelessness is very profitable for politicians and their friends. This news story is PR/advertisement for more funding, a very small amount of which goes to homeless.
Just one of those days where there’s a lot to cover in the news. I wish that there had been some statistics on how many beds are available for people who have Medicaid and addiction but no legal charges…. We wait until the last minute because we don’t have the money to help people. And then we punish them mercilessly for needing help. Thomas Moore said it best, “first we create thieves and then we punish them for it. “
No they have the money 💰 , it's just not a priority to they ,they don't care it's not there family that's going through this .and yes ur right they do punish them instead of getting them the help that they really need. Welcome to America what a shame.......
@@paulalobato5987 they send all our money to other countries and to cater to the illegals. They don't give 2 shits about US citizens. Time to vote these people out.

Human connection? Seriously? A person under the influence can't be trusted at all... period. Why would anyone feel bad about treating these people with guarded fear? Hello? How nieve is the person behind this video clip!
Yea, the news also has to say things like "people experiencing homelessness" and pretend that they are just "down on their luck," but usually just great, dependable folk. Did you catch her disclaimer at the beginning when she said "not all homeless are on drugs...." Of course they are. It's obvious to anyone with eyes.
😂😂😂 For real ! They should of interviewed you, you speak the hard truth.
F of Parts A-F The homeless-shelters are powered and heated with butane and solar-panels, depending on how well the infrastructure held up, which are integrated into the construction of the *temporary* _homeless-shelters._ Which are a dry, clean place to sleep, and store their stuff. People from the city drive out to the homeless-communities to pick up food bank food; because that is where the food banks and free-ice machines are located.
Thats not a crack pipe thats a meth pipe lol get it right haha!
Homelessness: *Paragraph 2 of 3.* In order to instantly create dignified shelter for the working poor; weighted down with college-loan-debt and *30% rent increases.* *Millions of American families can be provided with prefabricated homes made from the plastic taken from the oceans.* The *plastic-waste is melted at sea* with wind, solar, and wave energy. Then made into prefabricated, plastic, easily-assembled pieces. This is the new definition of a “mobile-home” that are prefabricated into campgrounds with common: shower, cooking, and toilet facilities.
Most people in Colorado are just a rent hike away from homelessness. There needs to be laws against rent hikes
No, "most" people are not. That's something people like you tell themselves for being underperformers.
*Section 3 of 3.* FEMA run homeless encampments share shower, laundry, toilet, cooking-facilities, stores, restaurants, dumpsters, and a post office where everyone has a POB; just like a large campground. No trash or crime problems for the cities and the working poor have a dry place to sleep and store their stuff. 24/7 every 20 minutes bus service connects the homeless encampment to the city. Where *subsidized for the homeless,* electric-cargo-bikes are provided by companies such as: _Wheels, Lime, Link, and Veo._ Food banks operate out of the homeless-communities where free ice is provided. Amen.
Housing first is essential! Shame on the politicians who should and could be making a difference and get people off the street regardless of their mental state or drug addictions but they do nothing! They need to get homeless people housing first. They should be designated fenced in places with tiny houses for them. To just allow them to live & sleep on the streets is unhealthy, dangerous and will only get worse. There also needs to be much more affordable housing programs nation wide. Not just for immigrants, blacks and Hispanic's but for all Americans especially senior citizens, disabled and people with low income. Rent is way too high, and even if one gets a low cost housing voucher most apt complexes still go by your income and credit score which is ridiculous because those are the main reasons they are applying for low cost housing. So they make it even harder for people who are accepted to get low cost housing to get it! The laws and policy rules are horrible and they need to be changed. If you call they tell you your on your own, we don't find housing for you. So even people who are accepted for low cost housing have to jump through hoops and go through a ton of red tape and are treated unfairly. Not counting the $50 to $100 fees per application for a apt. Its disgusting! One day these crooked politicians will have to answer to God as "God does not allow the guilty to go unpunished".
First of all, keep your religious babbling to yourself. Second, "So even people who are accepted for low cost housing have to jump through hoops and go through a ton of red tape and are treated unfairly."

The winter cold nice opening clap and close.
P 1 of 4* Cities can eliminate homeless tent cities by replacing them with *homeless-communities* using _Pallet Shelter's_ existing *homeless shelter village components.* The _Community Room_ sells for $37,000 and serves as a shared laundry room, restaurant, *child daycare center,* and addiction services center. The _Bathroom_ cost $35,000 and the _Services Office_ costs $9,000. So for only $81,000 a city can establish a *homeless village.* The 10'X10' *Camping Cube Sport Pop Up Tent* costs only $120 and provides protection from the elements.
P *4 of 4* The homeless can simply move the tents they are using now into the homeless-village. Or the _Shelter 100_ is a $9,500 shelter that is climate controlled, built in one hour, is 100 sq. ft., and uses a folding bunk system to house up to four beds. *_Pallet Shelter's_* private sleeping cabins offer *security* and durability. Which addresses the concerns of the homeless who reject the restrictions of “bed-only” homeless-shelters; for only one night.
P *3 of 4* Those with income pay rent which is 10% of their net income to the homeless-village for their 2 person _Shelter 64;_ and 20% of their net income as rent for the 4 person _Shelter 100._ Their rent money goes to pay for: *childcare for working parents,* one free meal per day, and addiction services; in the community-room.
E of Parts A-F In the on-site factories the homeless population's workforce is used to make more homeless shelters from plastic-waste taken from the oceans and government subsidized Styrofoam; and electric car conversion kits which cost only $3,600 because _The Defense Production Act_ was invoked. _Which does not include the cost of batteries and installation._

No person thinks this can happen to them
That was in a crack pipe that man had that was a meth pipe lol I have friends that do that
you need new friends
Just because I'm homeless doesn't give you the right to classify me as a worthless addicted human being. I get my disability and I don't contribute to seedy criminal underbelly anywhere I go. I do my very best to stay presentable and I don't litter. I stay away from others that choose to live like that. For me it is a choice. I worked hard all my life and I refuse to give away my minimal income to a society that has made it damn near impossible for the working class American to make with out a government handout.!
The problem doesn't lie at the bottom. It starts at the APEX.!!!
The hatred and greed in this country is down right appalling.
I'm of the firm belief that bureaucrats do nothing for this country but robbed the coffers.
Proud to be a old Hobo 🤓
"Do nothing but rob the coffers" and you are on disability that I/ WE pay for.
I’m of the belief that if one isn’t contributing to society more than they are taking/interfering with society then one shouldn’t be allowed to remain in society. There has to be a line somewhere, right? And within that boundary I’m all for progressive improvements. Not saying throw the people to the wolves, just that we need a system that helps prevent, and doesn’t incentivize, a complete surrender to human apathy and/or lethargy.
Why else should society, mainly the working class, have to bear the burden of such lost humans?
Respectfully
Shall we start by putting young kids to work and dispatching all the elderly?
Excellent points.
Let’s think this through…
Young kids aren’t an interference to society as much as they are the next up to keep civilization going.
They are full of potential and contribute by learning and developing. The elderly are assumed to have contributed so much to society that they can even retire from their economic roles.
As it is, I’m not swayed from my stance by either example.
There are more people lost than before because housing prices are f$cking ridiculous. Also, mental illness is on the rise and mental institutes that are designed to help or keep them away have been shut down. What you say makes sense, but I'm not sure if you meant that all homeless people are not contributing to society. A lot of them are but still can't find themselves a home because the prices and inflation are ridiculous. Horrible economy, horrible fake housing bubble, and horrible presidential administration.
There's a reason why there are more homeless in places like California than Texas, because the housing prices in CA are F$CKED.
@@davidshaw1103 I don't think we live in the same reality. The kids today are useless and a blight to society. I've seen more elderly coming back to work than kids doing real work. There is zero potential on current gen people, they should be rebooted.
I SUPPORT EUTHANASIA, THEY ARE SUFFERING. 🧡🧡🧡
There is no amount of money or funds to help these people.
The only answer for them is to want to help themself, to choose a better life.
Until then, they will always be a torn person on the street.
Exactly. Services we pay for are useless if they are allowed to refuse them.
Who would have thought that "Demolition Man" would be the most prescient of all the 80s/90s dystopian movies.
Someone , somewhere said people are lazy about education but do you know what their mental capacity is? Also, these apps KEEP some people from working! Help people step into jobs! Help people get homes! STOP throwing money at people, it is a disabling thing! Let people have the income they already have but help them find jobs
People are homeless for so many different reasons but, why do many leave piles of trash wherever they go? My family and I were having this discussion and we figure they are probably in such a low spot being in survival mode only so, they’re not thinking about keeping things neat or littering in their location. Years ago I worked with women trying to transition out of halfway houses. They had a history of struggling with poverty and addiction. As I spoke with them about their situations I noticed a pattern of multiple poor choices along their road in life and sometimes a sense of laziness or non-motivation to improve things and to just take the easy route at that moment every time 🤷🏽♂️ We probably need to reopen more housing for the mentally unstable as well. If we could keep even a small percentage of people on regular medication it’s more likely they’d could be productive members of society.
It's almost always a pattern of multiple poor choices. You don't just miss a rent or mortgage payment and end up in a tent smoking crack. So, so many poor choices to get to that point.
Bring more illegals, kick more Americans out of there home illegals come first
Most are depressed, let’s get real here. Who wants to be homeless? Not many. Many poor choices as Sue Smith stated is a crock of sh!t. Looookkk arrroouunnddd outside of your white picket fences. An average worker makes less now than they did in the 70’s, yet rent is unsustainable if even attainable in the first place! Most that are making it, fall under the category of one check away from being homeless! So many put a stigma with being homeless it’s unreal. My degrees are in business management and I was a Senior Representative for the largest bank in the world. Do you know what happened? It damn sure wasn’t crack or mental instability. I was more than one paycheck away from losing everything but guess what, Getting sick is not covered correctly and Short term disability was only 20 consecutive days ( not business days) to be diagnosed with an acceptable sickness. Not even the doctors in New York can diagnose that quick and they are top notch. It was this is a corporate America. Our government was in jeopardy about 20-30 years ago and they were failing. People were realizing this and ready to overturn our government and they screamed for help hence our government sold their souls to the devil aka corporate America. Who is buying up the housing market and raising the rent so high it’s unrealistic? Corporations and the government doesn’t stop them. Pharmaceutical companies provided opioids for many many years knowing what they have done and our government didn’t step in until it started to effect the rich kids. But let’s not talk about the facts of the matter. Do you know what it’s like to get into a shelter? It’s unreal!! There’s literally months and months waiting list and when they call, you have to be ready to jump as high as they tell you to and when they tell you to. People need to get out their own heads and truly open their eyes. Our society is crumbling and everyone is diverting away from the true issues at hand. We could make our government fix all of this if we’d put their precious GDP on a back burner. All it would take is buying second hand items and our government couldn’t move forward, they’d have to face the facts of what we want now but so many are unaware of GDP much less even heard of it or the true power it ( we as consumers hold) has. All these things were done for a purpose as they seen the older generations attest and win and they didn’t want to risk that no more so what did they do? They dumbed down the average Americans. Unless we get smart and unite real quick, our country is done for. May our maker have mercy on our souls!
Because most of them are tweakers. Let’s be real
P *2 of 4* Cities are spending millions of dollars to open and run homeless bed shelters; that the homeless reject due to the many restrictions and lack of security. _Pallet Shelter's_ two person _Shelter 64_ cost only $7,000 and provides a dignified, secure sleeping base of operation. So for only $201,000 [$120 tents] a city can establish and run a *Homeless Shelter Village* with 1000 shelters that can accommodate 4,000 beds!
Homelessness: *Paragraph 3 of 3.* *Plastic-trash recycled to create solar and butane-powered, communal-settlements, with shared facilities.* Like a campground run by FEMA; for America's working homeless. Provides shelter and dignity to millions of Americans who will be unable to afford traditional housing. Until the 5 million backlog of houses is built during this time; *when building materials are unavailable and prohibitively expensive.*
Co. Needs to take better care of those living in poverty and does not do enough for the homeless 😕
"Taking better care" of anyone who doesn't work just skims money from those productive people who DO trudge to work everyday, every week, all year long.
Are you kidding me? We spend 70k a year on one homeless person. Give me a break
You're forgetting about the people that are homeless because they can't afford first last and deposit for rent that are on SSI I was homeless for over 5 years back when they had the homeless killings and the reason why I was homeless is because I could not afford rent
D With subsidized for the homeless electric-cargo-bikes at all bus stops from companies like: _Wheels, Lime, Link, and Veo_ in the city and at the homeless encampment; so the working homeless can get to work. *Which are large 1,000 people disaster relief centers.* With trucked in water. Shared laundry, toilet, cooking, and shower-facilities. With restaurants, post office, and stores; just like a large campground.

A guaranteed income of $1,800 a month given to all Americans making less than $1,500 will end homelessness, crime, and boost the economy so much that the increase in tax revenues pays for the stipend given to Americans to keep them out of poverty and homeless.
There's a lot of empty houses and apartments across the country and a lot of jobs to be filled, costs need to come down and pay needs to go up. For the homeless that are trying good luck to the drug addicts and people that choose to be homeless I don't know what to tell you other than get your shit together.

Homeless population across the country are created by wages that are not a living local commute. If the wages are not transient wages or homeless wages then there are fewer people in homeless population across the country. 4 times the rent for one bedroom apartment local commute is what landlord rightfully expects a person to have as income and this is the minimum wage legal minimum wage act is not a homeless wage. Enforced legal wages.
good odds most homeless want to live that way , if there someone want to change then do what you can, but the true homeless type give them nothing, if they od on drugs do not save them, let they have their way , it will improve the world

The TH-camrs 'Some More News' and 'Second Thought' did extensive research, soooo...
Americans need the ASSURANCE of housing as a HUMAN RIGHT amended to the CONSTITUTION for HOME AUTONOMY through HOME OWNERSHIP for EVERYONE and ALL. No one should have to 'apply' or 'qualify' for a home. Rentals should be reserved for vacation space and hotels, not a permanent home. 'Real estate investors' and 'land lords' should be abolished and have no place in a civilized society.
It is not easy to listen to what is said with this constant music.
WITH ALL THE PRAYERS TO OVER COME HOMELESSNSS, ALL THE SCHOOL SHOOTINGS, MOST JUST WANT A HAND UP. BUT WE ALSO KNOW TROUBLED HOMELESS PEOPLE THAT BRING DOWN PROPERTY VALUES AND CAUSE ALOT OF ROBBERIES, RAPES, ITS JUST A MATTER OF TIME "SHOOTINGS MAY TAKE PLACE IN THOSE COMMUNITIES " PEOPLE WILL FEEL THEY'VE DONE THEM A FAVOR!
PRAYERS!
Homelessness and living in one's car are spiking because big government delivered a one-two punch to working Americans: The COVID lock-downs and the inflation that resulted from COVID subsidies. All of this misery is the direct result of big government action.

Let’s be real, we all know where this is headed, toward a very Final Solution.
...The TH-camrs 'Some More News' and 'Second Thought' did extensive research, soooo...
Stop giving them free handouts. It’s that simple
Purge??🤔
P B of Parts A-F The B!den administration has proposed *Christian, compassionate,* homeless solutions *but Republicans* do not want the FEMA homeless encampments within their cities; which *have the highest number of homeless families.* The solution is FEMA coordinated homeless communities a 30 minute bus ride, 24/7, every 20 minutes, from the FEMA established homeless shelters; to the city. *Established on land made vacant due to global-warming extreme weather events; that no one should rebuild on.*

Too bad you need a college degree to rent an apartment. Basic needs shelter, food, and being warm. Should not require a college degree. They should be a right not a privilege. A car, boat, and vacation, those should require a collage degree. A privilege! The world needs to learn the difference and STOP the greed.
Addiction leaves people moraless.
*Paragraph 4 of 4.* 89 million Americans is 27% of the *working* population! Or a $50,000 a year stipend for 40 million American families of 4 making less than $15 an hour; *so that they are NOT made permanently homeless.* Amen.
Hurry to Venice beach or San Diego before it starts getting cold.
Or do whatever it takes to get out of homelessness. It's not going to be easy though.
I say get rid of these damned tents, thieves hide things in there!
Government regulations is one of the biggest barriers to building new housing. Licenses and permits should be illegal in the United States if you are a land owner.
Bullying is on the rise, you mean!
*Paragraph 3 of 3.* Which is 27% of the *working* population! Or a $50,000 a year stipend for 40 million American families of 4 making less than $15 an hour; so that they do not become homeless.
Call for sheriff's reinforcement have arrived
And no affordable housing in trinidad co for low to extremely low income
In Europe all their citizens receive free college educations so do *NOT* carry crushing student loan debt making them homeless. Free dental, hearing, vision, and healthcare so no crushing drug and healthcare costs making the homeless.
Which European country should the USA follow? Lmao.
@@Sir_Pumpington_Of_Dumpenshire You pick one, you can't fail.
@@lbergen001 Don't avoid the question, which European country would you choose, give me a name, bozo.
@@Sir_Pumpington_Of_Dumpenshire The WHO ranks France's healthcare system that costs 1/3 that of America; #1 in the world. While the rate of maternal morbidity [mothers dying from childbirth] in TexASS is the highest, not just in the USA, but in the entire civilized world!!!
@@Sir_Pumpington_Of_Dumpenshire France and Finland.
The US prefers to take care of other countries than its own country... most of the state funds are sent to other countries while its own people suffer from hunger and homelessness 👍
Again, elections have consequences.
That wasn’t a crack pipe, was for meth. Just saying
Plenty of jobs that are hiring, PLENTY!!!!
Try reporting on the outrageous rents and homelessness in Trinidad and surrounding communities The rents are so high here and no jobs . Report on that ask the people who are trying to survive here
Stop the shadyness people sending people to hurt others and stripping them down of all survival means. people play useless mind games just to make money that is someone goes through pain of theirs and put others through that just to feel okay or do worst, too many psychological games what's the need to proof how smart people are?
It's just going to get worse.we are being priced out because of Greed.and no one really gives a Dam.about IT rent goes up every 6 months or once a year.middle class is no more it's the Rich and greedy and the struggling and poor people.
These doctors should do their jobs and stop derailing people to " Behavior Health"!
FEMA run homeless encampments share shower, laundry, toilet, cooking-facilities, stores, restaurants, dumpsters, and a post office where everyone has a POB; just like a large campground. No trash or crime problems for the cities and the working poor have a dry place to sleep and store their stuff. 24/7 every 20 minutes bus service connects the homeless encampment to the city. Where *subsidized for the homeless,* electric-cargo-bikes are provided by companies such as: _Wheels, Lime, Link, and Veo._ Food banks operate out of the homeless-communities where free ice is provided.
TAX the RICH TAX the RICH TAX the RICH
🤔Who TF do you think pays taxes? Certainly not those without jobs! 🙄
