If you were paid $240k a year base, not including bonuses and kickbacks, to research the cause of homelessness, would you find a cure and give up the gravy train? No.
I would milk it for decades. Just like they're doing now.
No. I would be happy to help.
@kortni_animations
Sure
But lets say you have to move to LA to help
Now you owe a 10-30 year mortage
Lets say you find the cure
How would you pay for the mortage you just took?
They're not necessarily evil people
But are slaves of the system as well
Exactly
It comes down to drugs. If we stopped addiction, the homeless population would do a total 180. Never gonna happen.
Jennifer Friedenbach 'works tirelessly' to keep getting her six figure salary as the kingpin of the San Francisco Homeless Industrial Complex. SHE is single-handedly responsible for the growing number of 'unhoused' drug tourists who call San Francisco home. This is not a housing issue, it's a drug addiction/mentally ill crisis! The solution to this problem is forced rehab for addicts and mentally ill.
I hear the word 'invest' being used multiple times to refer to what really is 'expense paid for by taxpayers'.
People are unhoused because they can't afford a roof over their head. Then they get into drawn into that drug life!
Maybe it could have something to do with the fact that they keep voting for democrats.
@@user-wx8ol9ud3e you got that backwards boo-bo
You can't force rehab on addicts anymore than you can force BLM people to stop looting & pillaging.
It’s not just CA. It’s everywhere in every 50 state. Idaho is being a disaster problem. High cost of living, high taxes, rent is really high, people doing illegal drugs because other people fire people off or let them go. People struggling with anxiety or depression. It’s not good for what people are experiencing in this world nowadays
I travel to Idaho every couple of weeks. Idaho is NOTHING like CA in terms of it’s homeless population.
Haha… you are comparing Idaho to California? Get real…
How high is the tax? If so, are education and health care free? Do they use the tax money to build home & improve healthcare for these people? If not, where has the money went??
@@Julianimator It lines the pockets of the politicians and the contractors they hire to implement these programs. That’s your “compassionate” liberal government at work…. Nothing more than a grift. But Californians and Americans in general continue to vote for it over and over. Republicans do it also. This is why liberal voters and conservative voters alike should only vote for populists. Get rid of the establishment.
At least conservative voters are attempting to do that by voting for people like Trump. Liberal voters keep voting for whoever the TV tells them to vote for. Whoever the TV hates is exactly who you should be voting for.
USA must spend money for development of fusion reactor, this will boost the economy
Close the boarders. Help American citizens NOW.
Y’all need to stop blaming immigrants for homelessness. Its your own people americans committing retail thefts, mass shootings and homelessness and weak governance. Stop the dilusion immigrants still want to come to america. It aint so great anymore. Its scary to go!
The boarders? What do they have to do with this???
@elainegoad9777 Did you mean "borders" as in the bordering county of Mexico that sits below the US, or "boarders" as in the people who are in boarding homes?
no just because the illegals gotta go, doesn't mean i'm gonna spend a dime feeding vagrants
In every large urban city. We keep bringing people in and giving help to all but our citizens. Politics and Politicians don't really care until they want your vote. We need mental health care for our citizens, and veterans
Open your home to the homeless if you care so much
Exactly!!
@@firstlast8258What? Are you happy that our government sends billions to Ukraine and not investment on our people?
I hear a lot of people talk about mental health care, but I'm not really sure how that works. Would the government hire thousands of psychiatrists and make them free for everyone? Or do you build hundreds more mental institutions and round up all the crazies and stick them in there against their will? I know we already have lots of social workers who help families in poverty. But how does a country go about getting better mental health treatment? Maybe there are already plans in place, but I've never heard them
I love how the media is once again rewriting the dictionary and referring to them as “unhoused”. Anytime they want to obfuscate an issue, they start inventing new words.
Thought the sameee thing when I saw that like “asylum seekers”
A livable wage is $26 an hour.
I agree. It's total Crumponium all around.
They don’t blame heroin or it’s killer friend fentanyl at all either.
Are they not unhoused though? Seems pretty accurate.
Unemployment is what made me homeless. They NEVER talk about that at all!
Because they have no solution to unemployment… they’d rather blame homelessness on drug addiction etc … they will never admit that the reason someone becomes homeless has to do with politicians….
I was just in San Diego and its getting worse there as well!! I was there same time last year and there were no tents on the sidewalks downtown. Now they are everywhere.
Hello 👋, I'm sorry to infringe on your privacy, would you mind me extending a hand of friendship 🌹?
But still, they keep voting for democrats.
You get what you vote for
Liar lol. They just made it illegal in San Diego to camp on public streets
I think sd is worse I live there
The government has really called things more difficult for its citizens, and we can't sit back and bear all the consequences of the bad governance. It's obvious we are headed for hyperinflation,it is always the poor who take the hit.
The crypto market is highly profitable with an expert broker just like Mrs Laura Jennifer Reeves. I got recommended to her, and since then, my financial life has been a success.
Since I started my investment of $7,000 with Mrs Laura, I am now having $29,450 in my portfolio.
You actually need an expert trader assigned by a registered broker company to help you out. I currently trade expert Mrs Laura Jennifer. I thought I'm the only one trading with her .
please, how can someone get to speak with Mrs Laura!!?
She's mostly available onWhatsApp
I work alongside many homeless people, its insane how many of these people come from out of state. Ive even dealt with individuals who had their bus tickets paid for by the city or police dept to have them come to san francisco because they are told they get treated better and are even paid an allowance which is true many are given resources but very few actually try to take advantage of it since they realize they get a lot of things free
You're such a loser to be LYING to try to manipulate and influence others to see things the way YOU WANT them to see things,,,,how pathetic.....what a loser of a person you are....
Texas has been busing out their homeless way before they did migrants.
Almost all homeless in major cities are from far and wide. I live and Austin and talk to homeless all the time and ive never met one person from the area. In the last few years I dont even meet any from within Texas.
@@HMuny55 how does that matter where a homeless originates from......if a guy born and raised in your city steals your car...or a guy who was born and raised from NYC steals your car ,,,,does it matter where hes from???
Billions of dollars spent and the problem not fixed, where have we seen this before?
Homelessness has now become seen as a culture of life for many people in the USA, Canada, Australia, UK and Japan.
It's never going to end 😢
As long as you have Democrats, yes...
Keep voting liberals

Keep voting liberal and keep destroying your city.

Homelessness in San Francisco isn’t about poverty, it’s about partying, doing drugs and not wanting to work
true
so it;s better illegal than homeless people live there.
Yes. If you don't want to work that's fine......but you still have to be able to maneuver yourself like the rest of us; you're no different from the people who decide to go to work every day. Being homeless is still a full time job if you do it correctly; which alot of people do, you'd never even know they're homeless. But if you just want to stand around and not put in any effort and wait for handouts nobody's gonna make moves for you.
Recent research finds out almost half of homeless people in the U.S. have autism. Maybe start there first.
This people of San Francisco get what they deserves.
You're fucked up
Homelessness doubles about every single year. It's bad out there.

When you expect everyone to be rich in these cities, this is part of why it happens. Very sad. I have family in San Francisco and nyc and I don’t know how they do it.
Most of them don't want to follow rules and regulations in these shelters so they leave and return to the streets. I feel that the responcibilities that we were given as tax payers for their addictions will run out soon. We've done everything imaginable to help yet the Homeless aren't doing anything to help themselves.
Go eat some cookies and milk!
There's NOT ENOUGH ROOM WHY PEOPLE FIND THE THE TRUETH HARD TO EXCEPT😮 OR THEY DONT WANT TO😮🤔
Have you tried giving them homes?
@@TheZchristina97 They usually leave after a few days. So what's the next step?

they didnt even mention fentanyl

I’m a S.F. Resident and it’s worse than this report.
Stop paying them
Yeah, Breed just mentioned about "No more anything goes". No more assistance from SF w/o drug test/treatment. Let's see if this will work? First time time for anything beneficial.
I don’t think we can ignore the fact that the vast majority of homeless do live in democrat run cities. It’s not a coincidence.
Most cities are run by democrats and most cities do have and attract a lot of homeless.
I think its important to point out that California and san Francisco are uniquely broken. Their policies and the outcomes are so far beyond what exists in chicago or new york. California is a bad scary place.
Let's not ignore the fact that many homeless are coming from cities and states that are run by republicans.
@@Kitkat-wu3ow Because republican states don't supplement these lazy arse, drug abusing clowns as readily. Which is greaaat!
You really think all those homeless here in CA are natives? They come from all over because of the weather. If they could all be sent back to their original states, you would be crying.
@@Kitkat-wu3ow Can you cite a reliable source to support your claim becasue it's not true.
SF has the best homeless benefits for the homeless. Every homeless person in the nation knows to head for SF. The minute u show up in the City , u can start receiving these benefits. We need to start cutting back on these benefits.
Benefits and weather are the two biggest factors
Does this help the homeless? I think we are talking about helping these people and how to reduce homelessness and drug use in general. Moving the homeless to other city/state (out of your sight) doesn't solve the issue.
What do you expect from a benefits program that gives people everything except the very thing they actually need: a home.
finally someone that gets it. If you incentivize not producing, you're going to have more people not produce.
The people I'm charge of fixing the homeless problem makes hundreds of thousands a year, why would they work themselves out of that check? If anything, they want more homeless, so they can ask for more tax payer resources to increased their budgets and paychecks.
Illegal immigrants in this country figures it out, why can't the homeless figure it out?
Affordable housing in California is insane shared room for $1200!!
Life is always harder under a Democrat government.

we love it when corporations use the money made from reporting on homeless people to line their pockets instead of maybe... using the money to help fix the problem they are reporting on, you know like any awareness campaign would do, that's mainstream media in the United States and it's creating a dystopia for everyone. Give young people a break, stop pretending you care.
We keep inviting them in with all the resources. Are we surprised that the homeless population is growing?
The only people we are helping are the residence of neighboring cities where they come from.
The real solution to San Francisco homelessness is to provide resources in neighboring cities to attract relocation FROM San Francisco. We are doing it backwards.
Send them to Mexico 🇲🇽
@@firstlast8258they’ll kill them down there, Los cholos!!!
Cost of living is not the problem. It’s the lack of crime prevention. Homeless flock there because the accountability of that city is done and they know it. I love homeless, I have worked with them my whole life but the truth is the truth. Unless they ask you to get off the streets (there are sooooooo many programs that will do it all for you and they know it too, that help you before you’re at that point) but if they don’t ask they don’t want it. They want to be where there at, at the moment. Until they’re done they will stay out there or they’ll stay out their whole lives. Unfortunately 99% of the homeless is out there due to drugs which then exhibits mental health problems. Very rarely are people just out there due to mental health crisis, it does happen I’ve seen it but it’s only about 1% from what I’ve witnessed. Although I do love them, just like in any society there has to be rules. If you give them rules they will follow them to keep living outside and to do their addictions. If there was more enforcement of cleanliness and rules this problem could be fixed. Also arresting a lot of them when they do commit crimes and break the law will help them and save their lives. Especially the ones on the verge of dying of addiction, disease, prostitution (unsafely) etc.
I’ve seen ways that the situation can be helped but if we keep ignoring it, it will only get worse.
"There has to be rules"...that's the crux of it. Yet still, we suspend them for the most dangerous amoung us.
That is so bullshit if there were programs why wouldn't they take advantage of them. People can even get assistance if they are single with no children. That's not representative of what's going on and it's only going to get worse as the days pass by.
Cost of living is definitely a problem too
Well said. The liberal media tries to paint this as a cost of living problem but it really isn't, its the lack of crime prevention that's the catalyst. But to call this out would mean their sociological quackery that led to things like no bail policies would be at fault and they will never take responsibility for this. Better to just point the finger somewhere else...
Well written! I totally agree with you, if they wanted the help they’d get it but they don’t want it. Most of them are young and healthy. I see them all over. But people ignore it and make up excuses for them which is crazy! I don’t get rewarded for waking up at 6am and working 8 hours a day but they do? They get all this help but I have to pay for myself because I am not homeless? It makes no sense.

Caste is the highest lol no wonder the British took everything, don’t even like the people that live in the same country as you
Not a single time they mentioned " out of control rent".
If the Coalition of the Homelessness still exists as the middle men between gov and the homeless, this problem will never end
The Homeless-Industrial Complex....is it the Marxists, the DNC, Soros, the WEF, the globalists and the Red Chinese behind all this? Big Tech and Big Pharma? And the determination to break up the nuclear family and raise trans people is quite sinister and they work together as part of the same thing.... I just don't understand why they want to do this unless they simply hate people in general. And America and Trump especially.
Never say never
Unfortunately, they are not the problem. Ask yourself - who owns the most rental properties in the United States?
Director of Coalition on Homelessness forgot to mention Diverse Dense Housing (including temp.) with Housing vouchers is important. America used to do both (e.g. Public Housing), but went in on vouchers.
Hello 👋, I'm sorry to infringe on your privacy, would you mind me extending a hand of friendship 🌹?
We never saw so many homeless as we have from the current government! It sucks!😢
These people are hopeless. They don't have the frame of mind to better themselves or work with others to get off the street. Homelessness has become a way of life.
Homeless here. I hope for the day I can buy a property and grow food to help others in need.
Gotta give up your drug habit first……👍

Yes, we have a housing crises, but greater than that is the fact that we have a severe untreated mental health crises which fuels addiction which then in turn, for many, leads to living agonizing lives in filthy gutters and eventual death. Between Jan 1 and today (9/28/23) close to 600 corpses have been removed from the streets of my city - folks who died form taking too many opiates! We have an epidemic of destruction, agony and death here. WHAT, just what are Democrat officials here doig about this inhumane problem? The answer: NOT ONE DAMN THING, yet, they'll tell you everyday with a smirk on thier faces that they are the party of compassion. Compassion my ass! THIS is the utopia the woke left always envisioned as they cancel everyone who disagrees with them, and while they destroy and re-write history and forge a new language that we all must speak to apease them. All this awfulness makes them come despite the fact that their hands are all soaked in the blood of their victims.
Stop using the BS mental health excuse. Those people are either drunk or drugged up. And people like you allowed them to do whatever they wanted.
Well said.

Two wings of the same dying bird 🤓🖕
Most of your comment is grossly exaggerated partisan conspiracy hysteria all pulled together, so I won’t engage you on all of it, and I’m not defending Dems, but I would like to know how would Republicans handle it? Republicans tend to cut social services which are badly needed in these cases. Like colossally. We saw our first wave of major homelessness, since the great depression, decades ago when Reagan gutted social services and mental health services. Do Republicans champion more services because I sure don’t hear them doing it. Cut taxes for the wealthy, deregulate, and cut social services is their way. And I’ll never believe some of these red state communities aren’t sending homeless to states like California. So is this really just a Dem problem or is there more than just a little blame to go all around?
Remember California……you voted for this!
I'd probably want to do drugs if I was homeless too, it's their escape from their situation. The family units hardly exist these days, these people don't have anything to work for, especially in California, where the rent or home ownership is way above what people can afford, not to mention food, insurance, gas, etc. I can't blame this people for throwing up their hands and checking out! The mental health field only helps people with money!! Period!
You have to remember that a lot of them are not from California they belong to other states and second of all sometimes in life you have to sacrifice something in order to gain something else. For example, a car not everybody needs to drive there is buses and trains, but people choose to drive people are used to having everything and wanting everything and not sacrificing anything.
America is the land of opportunity. For every one homeless person in America..... they're are 35 millionaires. The system works better than one could hope.

Every night, they would accompany me home, making me feel safe and cared for when I had no one else in my life to help me. Their compassion and generosity will remain in my heart forever, as they made me feel so special and loved.

Uhhh, you forgot to mention that most choose drugs over a regular life. Let's be honest here.
A large percentage of those in encampments have serious mental health issues. These aren’t people just down on their luck, or in between jobs. Many are veterans suffering from PTSD, many are addicts,alcoholics, etc. Homeless is too general a term. When you defecate in your pants, and have body lice, and are completely strung out all day long, you need help from mental health professionals. Would help come quicker if these people voted?
They're spiritually possessed, really.
@@gatbos Mental illness is not demon possession you lunatic
This is a standard generalization about the homeless. The first guy interviewed worked in the restaurant biz before COVID threw him into homelessness. This doesn't fit this stereotype at all. Gotta look at each on a case by case basis, and figure out what to do about the high cost of housing which is the real cause of homelessness of this magnitude.
This doesn’t explain why the problem has only gotten out of hand the past decade though. Clearly, this is the long term result of Democrats having a monopoly on power for 2-3 decades. Republicans have had a monopoly on power in places like Texas, but you do t see these problems there. Which is ironic since the claim is that Republicans don’t care about the poor. Seems democrats love the poor so much, they want to c rate as many of them as they can.
yeah, and all homeless plans do 'not' include any new institutions to be built, can't resolve this issue without many folks needing to be institutionalized. Some will live there for life others for a short period, nevertheless, the need is there -- has always been there till leftists shut them down decades ago...
It's really ironic, the meaning and form of the words "freedom and human rights" which are echoed in other countries, but are applied in their own countries are different, like negligence..

She says it criminalizes the homeless well most are doing drugs in front of elementary schools, districting the peace by all the grotesque things they do and 99% want to live on the streets and do not want not seek assistance. It’s time we criminalize homelessness NOT the homeless but homelessness. People like her really get under my skin because they have done her too 3 ways to help the homeless for some time and nothing had happened. She’s also just one person thinking she can single handily defeat this growing issue. You can’t! Criminalize homelessness!
if you enforced drug laws and made people get treatment a lot of this cleans up. They’re just allowing these people to off themselves slowly while forcing society and children to watch
Massive shame what’s happened to, in my opinion, the greatest city in the world. I’m English so I only visit but the city is beautiful and full of great people. I might not agree with the politics there but the city has a special place in my heart.
& nobody thinks about rent control?? Even a blind man could see this.
Raleigh NC High cost of living is everywhere
The root cause is that America's homeowners will never sacrifice their appreciating home values by allowing multi-family, dense housing to be built at scale. This is how we got here in the first place but everyone's afraid to call out this catch-22. Politicians know who their key constituents and will not betray homeowners, so instead continue focus growing a multi-billion dollar homelessness industrial complex, instead of fixing the root cause...
Good point. But who are buying the homes? Who is paying the rent? Nearly every apartment block I see appears to be empty, and I drive to San Francisco every day. No curtains in the windows. No people going in and out. Plenty of tents. I suppose we'll need a 1906 event to fix it. And I don't want one, 1989 was bad enough.
The shelter offered to those people in tents is full of bedbugs, roaches, violent people who steal their things and have zero privacy so I hope nobody is suprised people in those situations frequently decline giving up a lot of autonomy to trade one set of discomforts and dangers for another. The tech billionaires should be very rapidly creating civilized habitations with safety, privacy and some level of comfort for those people. It is sadistic billionaires hoard vast sums they will never spend while there are people living in constant, excruciating discomfort and fear.

"Lack Of Investment?" No the root cause is government
The fact of the matter is, the local
residents who complain about homelessness in their neighborhoods, they don’t want to eradicate and end homelessness. They just don’t want to see homelessness. Out of sight, out of mind. So those who feel that they are negatively affected by homelessness but are not homeless themselves are part of the problem as well.
That’s such a false argument.. but please educate us .. what do you do to help solve homelessness.. what do you want citizens to do to prevent , and eradicate this ?

send more money to Ukraine
As a Californian, safe to say we need to criminalize homelessness. Plenty of space in jail and free education. Plus, lots of ex-cons come out with GEDs or other more marketable skills.
Don't want to invest another dollar in this situation!
Getting paid around $500K a year to "help the homless" seems like a good incentive to make sure the problem never gets solved
Politicians in San Francisco create policies that cause more homelessness. For stolen items from stores or cars of less than $950 there will be no arrest, no consequence. This policy caused many stores and restaurants in Oakland and SF to shut down their business and to lay off workers. If the rent of 2 bedroom apartment is $3000/month, 4 restaurant workers could share and each pay $750/month. When the restaurant shut down, the 4 workers had no money and became homeless. A homeless man in this video said that he used to work in the restaurant and the restaurant shut down. To reduce the number of homeless, we need to vote out the politicians who create problematic policies.
Strong work California. Keep it up!
What a blight, but some how there's got to be a way to make it right. Homelessness has been going on for years of either administration yet Ron has homeless issues in downtown areas of Miami and South Beach that needs to be addressed in his backyard.

How do you not mention the main reason being prolific drug use? These people are not homeless because of an economic downturn or high cost of living. It is because they are drug abusers.
Another thing that isn't talked enough about for this, is the general modern day break down of community/extended families. We weren't meant to live in this atomized manner. When someone is struggling, the family (and to lesser extent, community) is/was the safety net. And sadly, that has largely disintegrated. Some of this is in the name of the modern work/capitalistic society we are taught is 'normal'.
This has nothing to do with capitalism. Capitalism was working just fine until Newsom destroyed the state with endless lockdowns causing businesses to close and people to lose their jobs. The blame rests on the government, one political party in particular. THEY are the ones destroying families and communities by encouraging everyone to think about skin color and sexual identity rather than the entire human
It's also drugs. Who wants to deal with their family members who are unwilling to get clean?
American culture frowns on adults living with parents.
What did Teflon trump do about homelessness when he was occupying the White House 🤔
And his solution is to criminalise it ? Cool story bro 🙄
And liberal policies only enable it every liberal city with these bleeding heart liberals who don't want to do what's necessary has issue with high crime and homelessness.
Open your home if you care so much
Lower your f rents. Everybody in this country is so greedy. 2000 for studio because its in CA .... insane
Yo some of those pictures aren’t in San fransicsco, they’re in LA
This is what happens when you abandon God, capitalism, and common sense
Gawd bless Murica 🤓🖕
“Religion is the opium of the people.”
Keep voting Democrat!!!!!!!
I will never again, never ever again vote D. I did my whole life, but not after what I've seen here over the last 3 years. DEMS and INDEPENDENTS = dare to vote R for a change. We have nothing, absoltuly nothing to loose and everything to gain. The status que is fine the the woke loosers. These people are dying at a rate of about 3 per day here in SF. The dems have blood on thier hands. This is all on them
Oh shit, I've learned in the past (4) or started dancing to a different tune...😂😂😂
This is normal. Sf voters voted for this.
This is not okay… I will vote for people who clean our streets up… I don’t want to see this - we tried throwing money at the problem… it’s not working
No one can afford to live in an apartment! Rent is through the damn roof!! The only thing I can currently afford is an RV. I rent from a kind gentleman who was willing to let my son and I stay in his RV. I'm very grateful we aren't living in our car but many folks are. It doesn't have as much to do with mental health as the idiots in Washington would have you believe. It's about affordable housing!! Better to blame it on "mental health" than admit that there's a HUGE wealth gap and middle class people can not afford rent.
Awesome! 🤗

Prison is the answer. Plenty of room in jails and prisons for long term housing. The enabler said this was due to lack of investment, no it was due to drugs and lack of work ethics.
It’s unhoused instead of homeless? Does it make it better
No it's not the cause of pandemic. Hundreds of cities thrive after pandemic. There are billions already given to the homeless, lots of programs n facilities but it's no avail. Living in sfo is not sustainable.
They all come form outside the state, because they know SF will give them food stamps on day one, 165 in cash ever month before they are out in supportive housing, they get free food from glide, they get free medical and meds. All on the working poors back
You cant have an open drug use policy and also try to care about homelessness. People fail to recognize the role drugs play in this problem.
Tell them to get off the drugs and alcohol.
That’s total BS that Florida doesn’t also have a homelessness crisis.
a lot of these people chose to live on the streets, what they didn't count on was where they would end up. and I have no sympathy for them.
Why do they sometimes say unhoused and sometimes homeless?
I like the reasoning behind Trump's call to ban public encampments but offering the choice for rehabilitation. That said, I also think we need to invest in mental health infrastructure to secure adequate and appropriate individualized care. Unfortunately, simply giving out such vouchers and what not is more like a handout, encouraging dependency. Like they said in the video, there are resources being offered, and yet they're not taking them up. We've tried providing resources, and it's still not biting. To dramatically combat the issue, we need to hit it with force. I mean, it's not like we're heartless individuals. We want these folks to be healthy and contributing members to society. Perhaps less choice and more of a push is what it'll take to really get the wheels moving.
When a town is over 90% democrats like San Francisco is, it's a given that there's going to be lots of drugged-up folks who have an aversion to gainful employment.
All we have is each other. Help each other. Have compassion.
Speak for yourself
So invite them to live in your home? Oh, changed your tune now?
Living the American dream compliments of greed and politics
CA needs to build more housing in general, not enough supply of homes makes it expensive for everybody
That's so disgusting to see. America's wasteland all because of greedy investors
Everyone knows that most allocated funds for the homeless don't go into helping people. The majority of funds go into the administrative and other costs. It's a bureaucratic game that is more focused on helping the issue as opposing to solving it.
I personally think cities should just set aside some land and let people build their own shantytowns and park RVs, vans, and cars in them. The US is becoming more and more like Latin America, and this is just how Latin America works. Shantytowns are just a part of Latin American culture.
Brazil, Argentina, and Mexico just can't tear down their shantytowns and incarcerate all the people who live in them. Nor can they spend the billions of dollars to house all those people.
Homelessness is manufactured by lack of investment… dumbest statement I’ve ever heard.
Make drug use illegal again
Enforce theft rules
Put more money in police
