- Since the actions taken in Austin on homelessness, camping laws are getting another look. For Worth Police say the homeless camping on private property should require written permission from the property owner, which currently is not the case. Police say it would speed up the process to verify what illegal campers tell them when officers are investigating.

I live in fort worth and they all hang out on Lancaster. But there are alot of businesses on that street. and normal people dont want to go to those businesses. Because homeless people come up to them and ask for money. And I'm sure older woman or women with kids get that uncomfortable feeling.
Bosseleny G normal people??? 😂
I don't know...I don't go to church or give to charity and I think you are wrong about getting asked for money. I like it, because I know it's not going to an evil corporate tax shelter but a real person. You probably ask people for stuff or to do stuff that makes them feel uncomfortable all the time and you don't even know it because you're used to getting people to do stuff that makes them feel uncomfortable all the time, but you can't honestly tell me that you're going to do business with any of the businesses over there anyway. You make me feel weird every time you ask for donations, but I don't think you should be removed from the area and jailed or fined. That's oppressive.
Giving them tickets will only over crowd the jail system. Your making one problem turn into another. When it's cold outside they will wanna go to jail three meals and shelter.
Lol 500 fine who going to pay it
Not like the cops have an address to send the bill lol.
Fort worth have private prisons?? Are they running low! Have to keep a few men in wealth!!
Leave the homeless alone.we are not all drug users or alcoholics.dont judge us.
People drive by people on east Lancaster and think that could never be me.dont judge get to know those people.
Someone should buy a lot and give everyone written permission to be there. lol
So they can leave trash poop and IV needles??
@@BlackBiggot Form a community. There are solutions to every issue. Violators lose rights.
John Watcher trying to build a complete lot with homes but I have no money. I’m trying right now to get the 398 for non profit status. Then hitting up city council and Tarrant council for donations. It’s 6 acres of land. If you look at Emerald Village - you will see what I am going for.
@@BlackBiggot well the city could buy and maintain port a potties.
Yea they are making it criminal to be homeless. If they could pay a fine they could afford a room!!
Oh Texass
@@BlackBiggot no will hire people like you to keep it clean.
They’re going to fine homeless people that many do not have a job or some sort of financial stability. There’s a growing epidemic of homeless people across the America. The latest count of homelessness was at 1.2 million homeless people and family’s across America in the year 2017. Its sad that America sends Millions of dollars in financial aid overseas, but have a problem providing aid for homeless people. Many did not choose to be homeless and have worked and had good paying professions.
Leave the homeless people alone.always want to bother people

Provide housing too many able bodied people on housing too lazy to get a job
How about providing housing.too many able bodied people on housing.get jobs housing should be available for the homeless.perfect example taj Mahal apartments 2625 merrick.permanent housing no I think not
Issuing tickets are you serious.if we had money would we be on the streets.
Ticket ?? Why would the city even think about that, That is
not helping the situation, people who live in homes, some of them don't pay their
tickets ! If not paid, so they
will lock them up ! Criminals
will be walking around free
because the jails are overcrowded, a lot of
those homeless people
have lost good paying jobs,
a lot don't have family or anyone to turn to for help.
Now everything is online,
Millions of applications are
sent through, if a business
fails to call you or hire someone else, It's not their
fault, a lot of people choose the wrong path to follow, that's their choice, but their are some who are still out their trying. I think the city
should build more shelters
and maybe have a on spot hiring day, like every 90 days and do a Drug Screening and Background Check.
Fort Worth has a scan card program without that no help what a joke provide housing
Where are the HOMELESS supposed to sleep? Motel 6? How about we give them some of the thousands of homes and apt’ not being used. But no, that might be actually christian of us and we cant have that here in the Bible Belt.
Me and my wife Ellen Rollins are on the streets on east Lancaster due to lack of work.
Either bite the proverbial political correctness bullet and crack down hard on homeless loitering. Or just don't crack down at all. Because all this gentle pushing is doing is making all sides angry.
Oh like the citation is going to work . Hahaha maybe as toilet paper but that's about it.
Fine? If they've got money they should be in a Motel.
Paul Brancato @ no they don’t want to be in the motel , they want to save some money for drugs use and boosts and lotto scratch off tickets. In south Dallas, down town Dallas I see it all.
There isn't enough room in the shelters. Where do they want them to go!!
Fine homeless people
JaysKennel nah lets just make it a capitol offense to be homeless. Then we can have the police just execute them!
JaysKennel my bad, I thought were advocating that we fine homeless people.
Na Na i was being sarcastic. Of course I dont think we should execute homeless people. Hell We have more empty houses and apartments than we do homeless, I say give them a home. But then people, probably like you, would start bitching about “why they get a free place?” instead of being happy we solved homelessness over night.
Its illegal to be homeless in North Carolina and soon to be south Carolina...this is pretty much moving in that direction like it's illegal to FEED the homeless in Dallas...arent there any human beings out there that have any compassion left. I get that they shouldn't be camping on private property or trashing the places they camp. But I think it be a good idea to take a little piece of that big pie ft worth has in their budget and invest in an outside homeless camp area.. Maybe hire a couple of the homeless ppl to keep it clean and running smoothly so cops aren't wasting their time fining ppl they know can't pay the fines and get out there stopping more horrific crimes and putting some real criminals behind bars .
"arent there any human beings out there that have any compassion left" Compassion in the form of fake virtual signaling on social media. No one really cares anymore.
@@SB-qm5wg pessimist responded to the optimist comment...interesting :)
Make to much sense to fine the land owner. Instead of fining the have nots
Yea then you will be mad when the land owner shoots have nots for trespassing.
Sam The man get a life. People like you love to come on social media and result to violence. You are coward if you want to set up there and shot unarmed homeless people
Good for Fort Worth
Fine Them??? Where are the homeless going to get their money to pay fines?
