Change housing rules. Make rent 30 percent of minimum workers wage. Only 1st and last month rent to get into apt. Month to month rentals. No more overpriced rentals.

They don’t want that they just want to live free and do drugs

[@MichaelJones-rn2pq]

You can do that with your rentals but don't tell anybody else what they can do with their property.

[@Tom-cz9op]

Want the government to tell you what you can sell your car etc for?
Think

[@MichaelJones-rn2pq]

Homelessness is more a lack of family and support rather than the lack of a home. That statement comes from working 14 years at a homeless shelter. Most people would not sleep in the streets tonight if their house burned down today.

Rwnt and cost of living is atrocious

[@golfdoc1950]

If you build it, they will come.

[@whansandceros]

A drop in the bucket to what is needed. I hope this proves to be more than a multi million dollar photo op

[@Greghh1960]

If you build them, more and more will come. Just what we need....and endless supply of homeless migrating here. Well done democrats...you earned this.

[@catamountmpls]

@@Greghh1960 They are already here. Do you ever go outside? You should ask your fellow Americans to build across the country as well. Some of you find anything to complain about.

[@Greghh1960]

@@catamountmpls ->You build more shelters....more and more will come.

[@catamountmpls]

@@Greghh1960 They are already here. There are up to 16 homeless encampments in Minneapolis. And the shelters are full. Enjoy your week in lala land.

[@Tom-cz9op]

Its not so much a housing problem as a mental illness and addiction problem.

[@donnalarson1660]

What will you do with families. People that have kids .

[@Greghh1960]

Why are they having kids they can not afford?

[@catamountmpls]

@@Greghh1960 You're insufferable with your comments. You must be a really miserable person.

​@@catamountmplsyou can't handle the truth?

[@dons3073]

Shh I would live in the woods and build a cabin before that for sure

cops: let me see your ID
me: I don’t have an ID
cops: go get your ID at the DMV
DMV: what is your address?
me: I don’t have an address
DMV: call the cops
cops: you are under arrest for disorderly conduct
me: what did I do?
cops: stop resisting
