  • One in 10 rough sleepers in London is under-25, according to figures from City Hall. Charities say the problem is getting worse because of the pandemic with issues like youth unemployment, strained family relations and domestic violence made worse due to lockdown.

    It’s gentrification: most places used to be a affordable for the average Londoner but now that’s gone out the window. Wages, can’t keep up with inflation. You also have MNC’s buying up ex council land, and building plush apartments going for £700,000 a pop.

    New Yorker here, it's similar here with the homeless problem. I feel like it's more of a drug and addiction problem more than purely economic, and the addictions probably also traces back to mental health. These people are trapped in a cycle, and I feel so hopeless when I see them.

    The councils need sorting out. If your young no health issues or kids. The council won’t help. The problem is massive around the country. Even when you go in an hostel. Around 600 plus rent a month. It’s like a vicious circle. Go in the hostel u won’t be able to get a job as the rent is high rocking.

And there also have to pay rent themselves for who’s building it is. When I was in a hostel the rent was close to £650. But places for people owned the building that the charity was running so there would get a good fraction of that rent.

    Always good to shed light on social issues.
    As a mostly retired social worker I really like the documentary on TH-cam called Seattle's Dying and it's sequel.
    It promotes the Rhode Island model of dealing with the homeless as being best.
    I would have to agree.
    It's not compassionate to leave people on the street that will die and heard others along the way.
    The Rhode Island model dedicates a prison just for the homeless.
    Not the student going to college who lives out of his car but the chronic homeless who choose it as a lifestyle.
    I'm talking about the drug addicted mentally ill. Talking about the squatters who break local laws regularly.
    In the prison you differentiate the ones that are so mentally ill who will never know how to brush their teeth versus the drug addicted, the mentally ill or both.
    The graduates of this program are thankful and say they would have ended up dead if it wasn't for intervention.
    The great homeless industrial complex is costing way too much money and doing way too little care. Truly special interest at the trough of the taxpayer.
    These tiny home villages are crazy expensive when we could have army barracks that people can voluntarily live in.
    You staff it with tons of mental health workers and social workers in case managers who get these people out of the barracks into housing in a community that they can afford. You cannot expect Los Angeles to be affordable for everyone.
    Yes we need low cost housing for people who work in the service industry.
    The homeless do commit crimes but we're not prosecuting so the ones that refuse the army barracks solution for getting off the street then can find themselves in this dedicated prison.
    Society has got to stop feeding the homeless. If you feed them you only encourage this lifestyle.
    Hardly anybody makes a change in their life unless it gets painful enough.
    Not everyone will survive this process and many people will die but that is a fact of life. People are dying constantly everywhere, whether they're homeless or not.
    Letting homeless have this lifestyle is not compassionate. It is not freedom. It's a lifestyle that brings death, mental illness, is a danger to others and a plague on the city with blight.
    People work their whole life to buy a home and tourists save up to go on vacation but when the homeless take over an area what's the point of the American dream of saving and working hard and doing the responsible thing that leads to a lifestyle of abundance.
    Success in abundance is nothing to apologize for.
    The taxes of these citizens should be used in a productive good way, not wasted on crazy programs that are failing us all.
    This lifestyle has got to come to an end!
    The open-minded politicians, the homeless industrial complex are supposed to be the grown ups in the room yet they're failing all of us.
    We need to get back to common Sense. This notion of personal freedom and expression is crazy when it tears down property values and shutters businesses and is a danger to everyone.
    Taking over sidewalks, feces, urine and danger that makes our city unlivable is not okay. It is not compassionate to the homeless or the taxpayers.
    With the Rhode Island model there will be some who upon graduation will only be able to live in a group home. They've done so much damage to their brain that it may take years if ever to come back on line where they can live independently.
    We have to have a carrot and stick approach. An option to get off the street. Yet if not chosen then involuntary lockup in the dedicated prison staffed with workers to help them regain their skills to live independently.
    I'm not willing to be open-minded about this even as an old social worker.

Instead of crying and pretending to be a loved one, let 's educate ourselves with our income and raise our level of thinking to a global level to shout out to the embarrassed global community. Let's show our protest with a few tweets every day, with a few simple messages, so that little by little, these protests will be added and the international community will think about a fundamental change in its path. We can help big campaigns to fight homelessness with big tweets. We can take care of the homeless, help them find jobs, help educate them, with a few tweets. We, who live comfortably in our homes, live comfortably in warm weather, owe at least this to them.

It's a complex problem yes, but again, there shouldn't be an expectation put on those well-off to coddle the homeless, especially when there's so many programs and help already available to them.

    This is all a total falacy.
    The only people "on the streets" in London during the pandemic are those who were kicked out or refused to go into temporary housing. ALL London Boroughs prioritised money from thier own funds and Central Government , rented hotels and student accomodation to provide single rooms, shower, cooking facilities, free food, free mobile phones, free clothing (all on top of thier Universal Credit) and free housing (with no bills) for EVERY SINGLE HOMELESS PERSON OF ALL AGES.
    There are only about 40% of all homeless who have genuine needs - the rest are playing the system and are full of self entitlement. Charities sprend 70% of thier money on staff and admin and STILL make enough to show profit, pay staff £20.00 per hour and pay all bills.
    Homelesness is big business.

    When it comes to helping people it's about appropriating the right help. Appropriating help has a real sense of empathy in regards to those who need it. By actually going out of one's way to selflessly make a difference in another's life.
    Therefore, giving advice and making suggestions without genuine compassion doesn't help anyone. Due to the fact that the person hasn't been taken into careful consideration, in order for the right help to be applied.
    Not only that, but charitable deeds seems to undermine the help people need. They often have short term solutions with unrealistic expectations.
    We feed the homeless, offer places of temporal accommodation, clothed them and give money. But not selflessly. Not in ways which will actually make a difference in their lives. Where it all becomes government's diplomatic priority, which doesn't consider the best interest of those who are poor at heart.
    The poor are just left to the negligence of the government and the self righteous.
    We don't open our homes up to the homeless. And help them to work through any issues they may have until they can have stability, a place of there own and a means of financial support. Due to an unwillingness not to bear anyone elses burden apart from there own.

My Jehovah’s Witness aunt was also found to be abusing her young son & is still a Witness to this very day whereas I’ve been shunned & have had absolutely every single belonging stripped or stolen from me including my whole entire music collection.

    The problem is. Parents can't hold their tools inside their pants nowadays, they get children because everybody else does, but when reality sets in it's already too late, the damage is done because the child has already been born. Kicking out their children at age 18 should stop, even if society demands that. But I also want to adress the other problem leading up to children getting kicked out and that is social media. Being parent is supposed to be hard and unfortunately society has made it 100 times harder. 200 years ago (before the urbanisation) 3 generations used to live in the same house.
