- Those experiencing homelessness in Wyoming are reportedly being sent to Salt Lake City as winter approaches, leaving Utah's capitol city city responsible for taking care of another state's homeless problem. However, one official says the article reporting the information doesn't tell the whole truth.

I like how the cop was trying to Church it up about how cold Wyoming gets. Like Utah doesn't get cold. Send them to California then.
I used to drive late night snow taxi in PC and would trip tf out on the homeless living under the 11400 off ramp bridge between the traffik light electric boxes. 2 degrees F and a sleeping bag. There are only so many overpasses with transormers
Send them to Texas
California is flooded with homeless people. It's over 75,000 in downtown LA.
Everybody in power city/state/county seems to believe their constituents/people its not their responsibility
Send them to Honolulu. It's summer all year round and they won't be flying back to the mainland anytime soon.
My dad was a Greyhound bus driver in Utah and Wyoming for 33 years. Tiny towns everywhere around have long solved homelessness with a bus ticket.
They could solve it with a plane ticket and send them to Honolulu.
Rather then fixing the problem and helping their citizens they just ship them off for another state to deal with it. That is just laziness. Fix your own problems! Salt lake has enough to deal with already.
Did Wyoming also send money to Utah with their homeless population?
@@awesomesmasher999ftw4 No that's the problem
Send them to California
Yep California has the perfect climate year round.
I'm sure they're already working on it
Please no, smelly. We are full.
@@charkswitlazers "smelly " i hope you're not referring to Monica's
From what I have read and seen on-line, California is struggling badly to dead with their homeless problems. I think every State should handle their own problems and not send them to other States to deal with.
The reason people come here, is because we have decent shelters. There is an organized way to help people here and people have known this for the last 30 years.
People don’t really want to solve the homeless problem, they get upset when they hear a the solution.
I trust Wyoming people. I have an extra room in my place and would give it to the right person. Plz no drugs. I’d love to help
I live up north in sunset I live half a block from a elementary school and 3 blocks from a middle school. I have a room that my grandkids use to stay in. I have a day bed and a full bed in the room. If you need help hit me up ok
@@jfo6383 nothing I want to help. Tell me about yourself. I have a room with a full bed and a single I use to keep for my grandkids.
An older person giving free room just to help? Or maybe a companion? Just saying??!
The homeless in Jackson aren't from Wyoming. Jackson is a tourist town, people go there from all over the country
Well just expect more violence mayor is not going to do nothing either.
Hey if Salt Lake City wants to be mini California it has to deal with all the homeless that comes with it.
WE DONT WANT TO BE MINI CALIFORNIA!
@Dub Jubs we'll see but I think all these Cali people will leave in a few years. Especially if the drought issue gets worse and severe water restrictions happen.
@@aramondehasashi3324 You already are look at the sprawl in SL, Weber and Utah county.
Salt lake City do not need any more people they need to start taking care of the Utah people like the veterans and such you tell homeless instead of inviting more and it's just making it worse
Salt lake City hospital sent me across the country to Tennessee because I'm disabled and homeless and they don't want to help me and frankly they refuse to help me gaslighting me and further assaulting me they stole my clothes and refused to render aid
If that is true, report them to the police.
I don't believe that
When the homeless come to Utah so does their bad habits and their crimes
Unlike the pedos in the church.
I call BS because salt lake does get really cold can people freeze to death
TAKE THEM TO YOURE HOUSE , SINCE YOURE SO COMPASIVE , AND CONCERNED
@@panterpanterpanter993Compassive? Perhaps you meant compassionate?😊
This is AWEFUL!
If you really wanted to help them you should buy an Airline ticket and send them to Hawaii with a couple hundred bucks and some snacks........... just sayin
I live in Austin Texas. There is a major homeless problem here. Most of the people on the streets are from other states or even Texas cities. Austin is out of control now. It’s soo liberal here they just neglect the homeless. So many are beyond mentally unstable
Yep. Exporting homeless is a widespread and long standing tradition in Wyoming. It's the "sorry but food, $20, and a bus ticket west excuse". Really stinky & unfair policy.
Seriously. Such a joke. Utah you have more then enough resources for the what 3 homeless form Jackson and secondly any of the homeless that may be there are not from hear so don't put that on the 307.
Wait! Shipped them to Los Angeles. Or Newsom's in Sacramento.
Ah yes a useless trumptard that don't take care of your states problems.
wait? red states not taking care of their homeless
The answer is yes! My brother was bussed out of Fremont county court in Lander and sent to Nebraska! Yes the answer is yes! Exporting yes 320 so far and Fremont county court in Lander ships 20 to 30 a week to Nebraska
Wyoming has no taxes, and too many millionaires, who refuse to provide a safety net for those in need. Heartless, may karma sort out this mess for them all.
TAKE THEM TO YOURE HOUSE , SINCE YOURE SO COMPASIVE YOU'LL BE CONFORTABLE WITH THEM
Wyoming is a welfare state. It gets WAY more in federal funding and grants than it has ever put in. Wyoming needs to stop being welfare bums. Stop state socialism
Give them jobs picking up plastic and trash out of all the trails, lakes, rivers, & reservoirs all the better off people dump.
The homeless refuse to work
@@blondie7240 that’s a pretty big net to cast on so many people in many different situations…
@@brandonsmith3060 hard working and homeless as never been said together
@@blondie7240 You wanna bet? When I was on the street in salt lake 30 odd years ago, I saw a line out the door and across the parking lot at a temp outfit down the street from the mission! And a lot of them WERE street people, looking for work!
Have you taken the time to really study the issue? I'm guessing NOT! So, what's YOUR solution? I'll wait.
@@devilsatan2973 when’s the last time you walked down any major city’s streets? It’s full of junkies, they’re not going to work another day in their life. They’re hopeless, trying to help them is a waste of resources that could be better used to prevent homelessness or help the very few homeless who are not junkies
Pray not it is snowing and so could. Cost of heat is so high how can they survive in this snow they will not
It sucks for some people I guess 🤦🥶
Wyoming cares nouthing for there people
Stop sending them here, we’re not a sanctuary city.
According to the Mormons and all the temples being built. There's more than enough room
@@daniellefoster8974 the Mormons only help their own. They don’t help the general public or homeless.
I heard Utah sends homeless to Vegas. Then a valet driver at one of Marriot hotels from San Francisco told me Vegas sends homeless to San Francisco.
@@sv4996 My point was each state seems like sending homeless to out of state rather than dealing with them. Not saying whats right or wrong because seems like no one has figured out a solution to homelessness in the us.
SEND EM BACK
So Wyoming that’s your problem not Utah. My heart breaks and we can only help our own homeless
Slc should sue Jackson Wyoming and force them to building a housing community to shelter their homeless
Jackson Wyoming is like the Martha's vineyard of Wyoming.
They can't- Big Corporations are to busy building resorts and fine dining establishments to care about homeless
This is like a Episode of SOUTH PARK
Houseless people should come to Honolulu. It's 80°F in Honolulu right now.
Salt Lake City needs to put in place or the state government needs to put in place a tax and a heavy tax on communities within the state that do not. Provide homeless shelters within their community Utah county does not have an adequate homeless shelter in their communities. I would heavily tax that community for the homeless shelters in salt lake and salt Lake County. And the state legislature could do that make the whole state bear burden for sending their homelessness into the salt lake area from Saint George and large commute cross. The Wasatch front Ogden run down-the-line Logan. All of these communities could bear attacks on their communities to house. The shook and sheltered homeless that they send the salt lake area and the legislature could put that tax in place
0:19 -
1:36 - executive director of the Pioneer Park Coalition. SLC popular place 4 homeless.
build tiny home and tell of states to do the same
jail them in tents in the wastelands, make them work, no drugs for them.
2:14 homes are not a solution for the homeless? What?
Jacksonville Walgreens one of the 2nd wealthiest communities in the United States that just tells you with the privilege and the wealthy in thisation think about homelessness. Not in their backyard happened back east on the East Coast. When I set the homelessness to Martha's vineyard that didn't last long 2 days right? The. 2? Wealthiest communities Martha's vineyard and Jacksonville Wyoming got rid of their homeless overnight.
Durango is sending them to SLC as well! Via Gray Hound Bus
I heard that Deanie Wimmer is saying the Sharks Machines authorized this... so now what?!?... ya know?!?🦈
So do they go pick them back up when the weather warms up or do they just leave them there so somebody else can deal with the homeless problem .
Think your in to something🤔🤔
A few new hobos in Smelly Salt Lake won’t make a difference. You act like they making a dent. There’s hobo’s everywhere in smelly Salt Lake City.
Jackson Hole, WY Police Dept. say they gave the Homeless the option to go to Salt Lake City. I would like to know what the other options were?
We will never be able to solve SLC Homeless problems if we're allowing other cities to send their Homeless here. Crime comes with the Homeless. We need elected officials who are going to be tough on dealing with Homelessness here in SLC. I don't think our current Mayor is able to do the job.
The other option was probably "freeze to death, because we ain't providing you food or shelter."
❤️well said
@@awesomesmasher999ftw4 yes your right
Congratulations. You just wrote what California has been dealing with for decades. Red States keep shipping their social problems the rich blue states.
🙏🙏🙏
Yes, because slc is so much warmer. 😂
i love Jackson Hole Wyoming!! This is NOT called Jackson,,,,seeing the clips of the town was great.
Wow... Glad you enjoyed the scenery on this crisis.
Yea Jackson Hole is a great place if you have money
A lot of states are sending homeless people to salt lake city because they are in hope that the LDS church will help them
@@kayjay4060 really you don't say... I have gotten help from the church a few times and when I was in my 20's living in provo Utah the church helped me a lot I was raised in North orem Utah I'm Baptiesed a mormon in the church but I don't really go to church often and don't they helped now I live up northern Utah I'm a truck driver and I earn income something most Americans don't know how to do anymore..is working a career job and earn income ... Uber is not a career job...people
@@kayjay4060 well I have a career job I'm a truck driver and I earn income wen the church helped me it was in the 90's now day it's easier to just get a real career job like a doctor or a nurse or a truck driver or an airplane pilot and earn a living then you wouldn't be homeless and broke
The LDS church helps them, because it is the Christian thing to do. Other states have Christians.
lds aint Christian. it is a wacky cult.
Or recruit them
Send them to Salt Lake so they don't freeze to death? 🤔
Sent them to az or California
Its also cold here and there have been people freeze to death during the winter.
Send them to California
Wow due think rich people want to see homeless in Jackson? Of course not like Martha vineyard back east ....they should find resources for them in Wyoming
mormans are filthy rich.
not just Wyoming, many western states have been sending their homeless to S.L.C. . decades..
Las Vegas did for a long time
Jackson Hole is nice, but OVERPRICED. It’s not the only place in the country with mountains and rivers. It’s small and boring.
Cause its cold in Wyoming?
The 2002 winter Olympics was held in Utah…..
It’s quite a bit warmer than Wyoming though, Wyoming regularly hits -20 in winter. Salt Lake City rarely gets below 10 F. It’s still REALLY cold but not as extreme as further north
If every state managed its respective homeless problem things would get solved much faster.
States rights. California, New York, Vermont, Texas and six others should not be paying for the other states infrastructure and social obligations. Each state must pay for their own infrastructure and social obligations, and federal obligations. No more tax havens either
Salt Lake City needs more accountability for the money they've already gotten they can't give you a straight answer and we're all of the money they've gotten in the last 5 years have went not 10 years 5 years Is a state free different information act ask for an accounting of where all of the money for homelessness is went Start to get a picture of where this money is going and to whom it is going to
I heard the money goes for housing for formerly homeless people, so the don't have much left over for "newly" homeless.
Your right on! Our politicians think taxpayers should funnel money to them so they can live the life style their accustomed to. We need them all gone!
@@awesomesmasher999ftw4 OK? We'll that solves the mystery of where the money went
I worked in the ER in downtown SLC. I watched human popsicles come in that were behind bushes, up against buildings, trying to get any heat they could. This cop saying it's cold in Wyoming to justify not taking care of their citizens is rancid. He and the others up north are the reason we don't have enough room in the shelter. This time of year, that means people die.
It's a shame
The rich entitled people in Jackson don't care. Their NIMBYism has blocked any affordable housing. The rich bring in their foreign houskeepers and babysitter (that has to be made illegal). Wyoming also gets WAY more federal funding and grants than they have ever put in. They are leeches. They feel entitled that other pay for their infrastructure and social obligations so they don't pay taxes. South Dakota steals the exact same way. This state welfare needs to stop. States need to pay for their own obligations and their federal ones. No more expecting others to pay for you.
I work in an ER in Austin. People living in the street flood the ERs all year long because of the weather elements.
Let the Lds Church take care of the Homeless since the Lds Church has Tax Exempt Status with the
Lds Church has Millions of Dollars at their Disposal
Try Vegas
Salt Lake did bus the homeless out of state before the Olympics.
Every city does that. Every summer and winter
I live in SLC,Utah the thing is they freeze here also. Every year we have them freezing. NO Wyoming share the cost don't send the problem here. Not cold hearted here truly concerned.
Can we ship them to a warmer climate
It’s not a homeless problem. It’s a freaking DRUG PROBLEM. Let’s call it exactly what it is 😤
Jackson Wyoming is in Teton County, the RICHEST county in the country. Think about that. The residents there whine they can't get service workers because ordinary citizen can't afford to live there so there are no workers. they bring in foreigners who don't realize they will be wage slaves. The rich and their entitled mentality is driving everyone to poverty there.
Wyoming has ridiculous tax laws. They have no state tax. They depend on retail tax. They have the nerve to take WAY more federal funds and grants to pay for their infrastructure that they have ever put in. Wyoming is an actual WELFARE state that feels entitled for other states' citizens to pay for their infrastructure and social programs. They refuse to raise their own taxes to fund their own obligations. Numbers don't lie. This state socialism is killing the US. Not foreigners. Poor states taking from the innovating, advanced technological wealth creating states, like California, it has to stop. Cut off this entitlement to all US states. States rights should be all states need to pay their share, they pay for their own obligations. No more shipping your social problems elsewhere.
Doesn't that whole valley actually belong to the Shoshone tribe? It should be given to the 5-tribes of the Laramie treaty that had their land stolen. That is a fair trade. There' no one really living in the whole valley. Just have the military move them out and let the Native tribes move back to there. That's fair.
I was homeless in Jackson hole when I was 18 I slept outside the McDonald's
Why not just help them get a job? There's no reason to be unemployed right now.
Jobs still doesnt pay me so that? People dont want to work without getting paid and money. If homeless knew it the gov is greedy now
They don't want to work. Drug addiction
Salt Lake City has cold winter to
They wanted to send them to Martha's Vineyard but the "No Vacancy" sign was on.
Used to happen back and forth between SLC and Reno many years ago.
This is nothing new. SLC has been sending their many homeless to California for years
If that's true then California deserves every one of them. The people their crapped their own bed. They need to lay in it now.
It is the small border towns that do not have funding that are getting hit hard now. They drop the migrants off in the middle of the night by the bus loads and there is literally nowhere to go down there and no resources.
What a great administration and how they care about the people of America 🙄
Military families can barely stay above poverty level and are left to measures of donating plasma, ect, to barely make ends meet. How is this going to make for a strong military????
🤔💯
Yeah housing and sheltering does not help people that want to be homeless I'm telling you man a bus ticket and some traveling cash
SLC accommodates them. Build the nests and they’ll come.
Then what's YOUR solution?
As a fellow wyomington being homeless in a state where the temp even in summer gets below freezing there isn't really any homelessness like you would think
Odd.. Salt Lake City did the same thing to Las Vegas and other cities during the 2002 Olympics 😂 whoopsy daisy
Hey, we don't export our people.. the heck Wyoming thought we were friends LOL
Then Utah sends them to California....
Sure Wyoming, send them. We will send worse.
Yeah and Salt Lake and every state sends them to LA
Take that Utah 😅😅😅😅😂😂
I hate to break it to you folks who are aghast at this method of dealing with the homeless, but this has been a standard procedure for decades. When I lived in Yosemite in the 1970's it was common for NPS to put "park bums" on the bus to Merced.
Seattle sends them to California
Well when you get rid of the vampires the homeless will be pooping all over the country
In other words, that ARE sending them to Salt Lake City.
Open up the temple for shelter!
@@sv4996 That's for dam sure! I knew a guy that was hiring street people in SLC. He had a small buissness that worked for the cult. When they learned he was putting street people to work, they told him to stop! He didn't.
Soylint green the homeless easy fix
Like the mormans deal with them.
