Yeah it's getting bad sometimes I have lock my doors so the mentally ill can't come in because customers get uneasy

Throwing money at them won't work. Turn some of these abandoned buildings into rooms to stay.

Over the last 30 years Fort Worth has built new civic buildings, museums, libraries, bridges, roads, parks, animal shelter (3 millions dollars cost), improving neighborhoods with millions of taxed dollars.
Now the city may help a few homeless people ....Shame on them.😡
With our higher property appraisals and higher taxes, 🤑🤑🤑🤑🤑we may also be homeless.

So, they have to be homeless for a year and disabled. That rules a lot of people out. Many end up homeless attempting to get ddisability

Homeless are sleeping in front of my pawn shop in East Lancaster and some are addicts who rather live in the streets instead of getting help 😪

Yes and many have severe mental illness. Thats what happens when you close down and destroy the long stay mental hospitals.

[@amandameyerholz816]

I need and want help. I will work and want an apartment by myself.

[@scottmadison2402]
