    The fact we live in a country where there are homeless veterans in a lot of major cities helps you understand just how right George was most of the time. The fact that he could confront you with stuff that ought to make you mad, and still make it hilarious shows you his genius. He cut through BS better than anyone else, and his voice is greatly missed.

    Actually it pisses me off when people continually say halfway houses equal lots of crime while acting like they are interested in addressing the problem. I lived right next door to a halfway house for a number of years and we never had a single problem with any of the guys who were there and they kept to themselves.
    However, we had problems with many people in the neighborhood who were supposedly good people but always causing problems in one way or another. There were always Karen’s ( women or men) who would cause trouble with their neighbors or stick their nose into other people’s business, so I found that the most trouble was with the people in the neighborhood and not with the people who were in the halfway houses. It’s a disservice to people trying to get their lives together to say they are always a problem when they come out of jail and are trying to get back to society. Sure, there are some people who are going to get back into trouble but it’s wrong to categorize them all as being a problem.

    I understand the perspectives of wanting to help someone and of what that might bring into an area. But George was right. If you can’t make money off of an idea then it won’t happen. The reason Georgia and the city council of Atlanta will not build on the land that is open is because that land has been designated for future building and more development. Tiny houses, low income housing and halfway houses are starting points for those who need a leg up but like George said the idea is all people will support but not the actions of following through which is sad because compassion is probably the most rare emotion that people possess anymore. I’m not talking about spouting off on social media and giving your two cents about how this world is so cold emotionally but real compassion where you see someone actually doing something to help. Doesn’t matter if it’s buying food for a family whose down on their luck or getting an initiative passed through the city council to make sure those in need get help because that’s real compassion and it’s something we desperately need if we’re going to survive in the future.

    I know this video is a month old, and there's a number of comments here already, so I likely wont be saying anything that isn't already said, but for the discussion at 7:40
    When you ask "Why does it have to be in an established neighborhood", you also have to ask yourself what resources these people don't have. They likely don't have a vehicle, so a location near where a high population of homelessness already exists is optimal for its proper utility. To that you often hear "Why not make them take the bus", which has countless issues. Youre expecting these busses to provide them with consistent punctual timing, A lot of half way houses have strict curfews. Not to mention, you don't want them in your neighborhood, imagine the people who already rely on the transit system. Imagine you're working a 9-5 job, and one day, they open a half way house near by, and your drive home now has every homeless person on it, every day on the same system you travel.
    All that aside, shame is a huge factor in addiction and homelessness. When you say "Ew, no. You can go somewhere else" Thats not helpful at all. Ive lived next to a halfway house, and can tell you 100% for a fact, it makes your area a worse place to live, that's just a fact. But to say youre unwilling to lower your living standards from a 9/10 to an 8/10 in exchange for someone else, who would go from a 1/10 to a 5/10 is rough. No happy answer, just a thought.

    At least he admited it, being a nimby. I remember my old neighbors fought tooth and nail to keep an Open Arm home, for victims of spousal abuse out of their neighborhood, fearing that it would slow down their soaring home appreciation. This was in downtown Brooklyn so it seemed extra suspicious and hypocritical.
    I appreciate your good, eye-opening conversation. Both of you are thoughtful & and honest, and that's half the battle.
    Regarding the houseless,
    I personally wonder how much it would cost to build shelters where each person or couple gets their own room with a locking door. It can't be that expensive and, I think, it would benefit people so much.
    Maybe I'm off but it seems like a good idea to me and would provide safety and a safe place for the houseless to keep their belongings. If only their were a neighborhood where a consensus of people actually wanted to help.

      @@tntreactions I thought you two should be aware of something important.
      Many and I mean many of the homeless are not addicts, have never been addicts.
      They are people who have lost their homes.
      Usually through not being able to afford it due to the high cost of living.
      My husband and I moved back to my home state to become my parents live in care takers.
      I had worked but had become more severely disabled and due to the job my husband had, he too became disabled.
      I got my disability in 2019 after fighting for it since 2016.
      It's now 2024 and we are still fighting for my husbands and we started fighting for his, in 2015.
      When my parents died (my mom in 2020) (my dad in 2023). We were promptly kicked out of the house my parents had been renting.
      It was owned by my cousins gf.
      The house was bought by her in 2004 and the only thing they did was maintain the outside.
      She caused such a problem for the judge, that he ordered a city inspection and they were found seriously negligent.
      In the end....The court ruled in favor of us and classified them as the worst case of slumlords he has ever seen.
      But...We still had to leave as it was her property.
      All we had left (besides putting what we could in a storage unit) was our Jeep.
      We lived in that from Aug, 2023 to Jan, 2024.
      The Jeep broke down, we couldn't afford repairs.
      The dealership refused to help.
      I lost 12 thousand dollars (that was the total of the Jeep) had it for 9 months and we had nowhere to stay, no money, so we sold it for a quick $500 to get us to my bil's house.
      There was a group of about 60 of us. Living at a rest stop.
      There were tents in varying places all over.
      None of us were addicts, we're all beyond poor and couldn't afford a warm place to live.
      Still can't.
      That's who many of the homeless are. The beyond poor.
      I do not even make $1,000 a month in disability.
      Oh, and all those so-called homeless help orginations such as MSHDA, HUD, etc.
      It's All a Scam!
      I spent 6 months trying to get information.
      There's what is known as housing vouchers.
      They are meant to help by paying the majority of everything.
      However, you can only sign up when they are open.
      It's a 2-5 year wait to even get housing.
      And you have to practically crawl through the internet to get any semblance of information.
      Now, MSHDA does do these vouchers.
      The problem comes from the fact when I called them, they lied and sent me on a 6 month wild goose chase.
      We almost got help from a smaller place but for some stupid reason, they did not qualify being out in less than a week as valid enough to help.
      Now that program no longer exists.
      Every single one of them has some sort of excuse, they flat out lie and mislead you.
      The they also send the same dead-end information.
      MSHDA got billions last year.
      Yes, some went to help those already in, but no expansions, no nothing.
      Yes, they opened a few new places in other states.
      But no expansions in the area we lived in, as it has the highest homeless population in the state.
      I just wanted to share the reality of why so many are homeless and for most of us, it has nothing to do with substance abuse.
      We literally cannot afford it.
      And the COL just keeps getting higher and higher.

      Whereas many of us can't.

      Sorry, but you two treating an entire group of people as garbage because of their issues.
      Issues that are literally not even remotely their fault!
      Cause, I didn't ask to be born, let alone born disabled.

Sometimes, you need to accept that you don’t have the luxury of saying no to something being, quote on quote, “in your backyard”, or saying no to doing something. Someone has to clean buildings, someone has to cook food for the masses, someone has to get rid of the garbage, someone has to perform high stress jobs and lose hundreds of days of their life for it, someone have to run companies when it makes them utterly depressed, and these important pieces of instructors have to be put SOMEWHERE, and it might be YOUR WHERE.
    Acceptance and adaptation is the best thing you can do, because freedom of choice is dependent on the choices available. Be wise with your choices, especially when they are large in number. Either take advantage and make good use out of your opportunities or accept the lack there of when the time comes.

    If you put social housing all together all you get is a ghetto, in the UK we place a small percentage of social housing in each new build and then you find people will copy other people keeping their property up to a standard not letting the neighbourhood down, add to this, the company owning/renting the properties could put in a caveat that the renters who dont cut the grass, let the property down, dump cars etc could be made to vacate

    I live in a VERY mixed area, wheren you can find a rental apartment for $300/m and one for $2500 within like 10 minutes of each other, homes of 300k a street from 500k homes near a midrise of 200k apartments overlooking a street of 900k homes from the balconies and such. Since its all mixed there aren't really poor areas or underpoliced/poorly policed areas. Pretty much everything that happens will affect or be witnessed by an affluent citizen, so the service for everyone else is pretty dang good. So yes, halfway houses, rehab centers and prisons are just weaved into the fabric. Is it fair that standards differ based on who lives in an area? Nope, but if you mix the 1-10% that does quite well, it raises the base nationwide, to the point a new halfway house is totally fine for many people since the police can handle it.

    The biggest issue with the NIMBY mindset is that it allows people to continue being apathetic.
    Who cares if the prison system does anything to reform people who are incarcerated if the prison is nowhere near you and you never have to think about it?
    Who cares if the conditions at halfway houses are terrible and the people there are not given mental health support or proper resources to avoid relapse if it's hours away? A lot of people won't. They don't want their tax money going to that.
    More people would care about the quality of all social assistance or rehabilitation if they were more integrated with their community, rather than relegated to the 'wrong side of the tracks'. Almost every city I have lived in, upon arrival people would tell you which side of town or street to avoid. Don't live East of This Street. Don't live near That Street. Avoid between Those Streets. It's easier to ignore a problem if you don't have to face it.

    The reason, I believe, it [halfway house] needs to be near an established town is for the ability to rehabilitate into society. I don't know the specifics on how they work but if you're rehabbing people theyre going to need to be able to be walking distance to a job or being able to transport groceries. I'm sure a large number of people in the situation don't have cars. being stuck in the middle of a resourceless area is only going to drive people back to drugs or crime.

    Real talk, though... coming from a 42-year-old white American dude...
    When I was a kid, the adults couldn't even fathom bringing a homeless shelter into the neighborhood or a halfway house, something like that.... But I heard many adults at that time talk about how black families moving into neighborhoods would bring down property values and bring an increase in crime. And this was coming from adults who swore they were not racist, they just thought it would be better if black people had their own space, and stayed out of ours. It sounds ludicrous to say at this point, but that was only like 30 or 35 years ago. This was in the suburbs of New York, not somewhere in Montana or Indiana or some shit.
    I'm just saying, the whole concept of "not in my backyard" is incredibly ignorant and has never led to anything good.
