My mother lost everything in Oregon from the fires. The same man that started the fires was arrested, let go, and started the next fire that took my mother's home. I understand homelessness, but they need on-site security and portable bathrooms. Not asking for a fancy hotel, but dam give them some help.
@@really2345 judgemental a little? My comment was in regards to how my mother lost her home and why help is needed to those homeless with mental health issues. 1st amendment, so eat 💩 and go away!
@really2345
Judgmental a little? 1st amendment, eat 💩 and go away! Quit trying to feel better about yourself using stupid comments.
@@really2345 Who the fuck are you to presume she didn’t help, or that her mother spent more than a day homeless, or that she was ever in a position to help in the first place? Or that this didn't happen before she was ever born?
That's the problem with fucking cons. Zero empathy or thought and 100% presumptuous and judgemental assholery.
Fire that man. From life.
Give them a bus ticket to the middle of the Nevada desert...
What do they define as reasonable in terms of housing and rental price[s]??
Define "afforsable" housing. For example, MilePost 5 on N. Lombard charges $800 a month for a single 10x12 ft bare room only. Is that affordable for SSI recipient?
Is that the only place to rent? Owners can charge what they want to rent their Property out. Be that a house or an Apartment or even a car. Remember it is not YOUR property it belongs to someone else.
$800 a month for rent anywhere is cheap by today's standards, especially in San Francisco (Lombard St).
Yes, they never see that part, they sit in an Office and probably make 3 figures. 800$ is to much for People on fixed incomes. 300 to 450 is more affordable, but You hear about all these private equity firms buying up thousands of Apartments just to make big profits. They raise the rent drastically and force lower income People out. Also they buy rentals in places that have the least tenant protection laws. They do it intentionally. No one in Congress in either party is addressing this and they really need to.
@@amercanmade2685 It's cheaper than anywhere else, so effectively the answer to your first question is probably. I also think MilePost 5 is a cooperative, or state subsidized. I dated a girl who lived there in college. It's pretty much a hostel that rents rooms. Everything is communal except your bedroom.
Your last sentence, is this sort of a "to the victors go the spoils" kind of comment? Sort of seems like you're defending the principle of price gouging.
@@BETTERWORLDSGT And, now it's effectively illegal to be homeless. If you are unable to find work, or housing, you face prison. I wonder if they will require you to have gainful employment before they allow you out of prison if you were picked up off the streets?
In some jurisdictions, it costs the taxpayers over $200 per day to keep each homeless person in jail. I wonder if that money could be better spent on homeless services that do not require locking up vagrants.
No because the jails are owned by the rich and they want the money back that’s why these demons go around throwing people in jail to siphon tax dollars to the rich! Jails are money mills for the rich
Exactly.
$180 of that 200 goes in cops pockets . Multiply that by thousands . Policing for profit
I wonder how much we paid these so call non profit every year for homeless people?
@@veritas3179 That’s definitely an important question in L.A., where $26 billion was spent on homeless services, and the vagrants are not appreciably better off than they were before the money was spent on them.
There are a lot of vacant business lots. They are sitting vacant, and the owners are making no money. Let's have them give these to homeless people. It may not even be a city homeless vehicle. When someone has a job, it is much easier to find a job.
I know it's difficult, but this is the time we need to find a job.
Just give them to the homeless . So who pays for all of the 911 overdose calls, toxic clean ups and stolen bike parts that will pile up ? Not the homeless tge property owner will be on the hook.
@@MUUKOW3 It will be the same civil services that take care of them now on the street. The only difference is they have an address and have an opportunity at a job, something they can work themselves out of.
Let's give them a job.
Hardcore homelessness is not about jobs, it's 98% about mental impairment and drug addiction...
@@RoadWarrior427 first you have to clean them off their drug addictions...98% of the problem...
We choose to avoid the drug problem. Many people refuse help because they can't bring their meth with them to the shelter. When I was in that place in my life I just wanted to live without rules so I could get high. Don't you think we should look at it from that point of view more than we do?
I find it odd how the very same people who are claiming we are a Christian nation are expressing such extreme hate against the poor.
AMEN!
It's not hate against the poor. It's about a lifestyle that's been allowed and encouraged . You can be poor without being a menace to your city.
@@MUUKOW3 I disagree. It is about trying to hide the consequences of 5 decades of being trickled on by the rich by demonizing the victims so no one minds getting them out of view of the rest of us. We will never solve the problem that has led to the increase in homelessness since we decided to stop taxing corporate greed and exploitation, if most of us can't see it.
@@MUUKOW3 about what years do you think our economy worked for the middle class? I am talking middle class white people. Evil social issues aside when do you think the economy was working for you? When our debt was under control? What was the corporate tax rate at the time? What is it now? That is the reason the upper middle class business owners and resident are having these issues, not because of the victims.
@@MUUKOW3 it is harder to convince people that there is a problem if we let the people who caused the problem hide the consequences of their actions. (the huge number of homeless in the richest nation the planet has ever known)
I for one say bring on the development of new Mental Hospitals, shelters, and jails.
When did they get defunded?? With MEDICARE/MEDICAID 😮
@@dargonkhurvas5548 Nurse Ratched, that’s why.
This ruling says the government doesn't have to provide any services to jail people. They even talked about redistributing the funds which were already set to help the problem. There will be a reduction in services not an increase.
As a resident of San Francisco, I'm glad of the Supreme Court's decision. Many homeless in SF don't want help because of the requirements to stay there. Simply just staying sober is too much of an ask for the homeless around here, something that would be a problem in a regular, safe home. So they don't want to abide by general rules.
I think a solution is this:
1. Start by separating the true homeless from the drug-induced homeless. Divide and conquer. Take away that false sense of unity between them that advocates try to foster.
2. Once that is determined. Help the ones who are homeless by extenuating circumstances (not because of drug abuse and such.) Use 90% of social servicres to assist those. SNAP, SSDI, worker retraining, giving them skills to reestablish independence.
3. Habitual/constantly homeless are the ones who should face civil and/or criminal penalties allowed by the decision in Grant's Pass. Like the ones in SF who prefer to be homeless rather than accountable for the problems that made them homeless in the first place. I.e. refusing to stay in a shelter because they have no desire to stay sober. They should be dissuaded and not enabled from their current behavior AND status.
Those are the ones who should be ISOLATED from the other homeless, because they ABUSE their freedoms. They should get 10% funding at best, and that funding should only be to shame them about their life decisions. Shame them about how others have been picking up their slack for decades.
3. Once the homeless who will accept health AND treatment to help them reenter society without an entitled, lazy mindset have been identified...then counties can finally take extreme measures for the recidivists who have likely trespassed, stolen, abused drugs, and done countless other things that abused their freedom. Deny them that freedom. Take them out of city living, put them into supervised rural work farms they cannot leave, and make them work to earn their keep. Land is cheaper, purchases for room and board can be done to take advantage of economy of scale. Have basic necessities of life addressed, and not much more. And most of all, prevent these criminal homeless from tainting the 80% who can likely be rehabilitated. If we as people "are the company we choose to keep," we don't want other homeless keeping their company. For these homes are now criminal level offenders.
Make it a fine to imped the flow of traffic on the sidewalk
Grants Pass homeless camping law wasn't abusive, they allow homeless to camp in designated parks but they must move to a new park every week, this distinction means they are camping and the park is NOT their home. Homeless advocates think making them move every week was criminalizing homelessness, it is not, they would only get a ticket if they wouldn't move, some resisted moving to test the law, they failed. Volunteers help homeless move every week, this volunteer help is direct contact with the homeless as they try to assist them with moving, getting into rehab, improving their situation.
The abusive part is that they can now issue fines whether, or not the city's shelters are over capacity. Whether, or not they have another place to go. This does make homelessness illegal. The idea that something is ok because it isn't being enforced the way that it is allowed to be in plain English, baffles me.
A lot of these homeless people choose not to go into the shelter because they want to continue to use drugs or they have deep mental problems. Even if the government offering low income housing to these homeless people, many of them won’t even know how to live a clean life or manage to find jobs or their daily responsibilities. Bottom line, these people need long term rehabilitation or mental health help.
You need to lighten your load pal
You got many responsibilities
Thats your CHOICE
Thats not MINE
Thank you JC.
Maybe you should have tried harder to get your GED. Obviously you have no concept of homeless people.
Homeless shelters are a blight in itself..t
You don't know Jack about anyone but your pathetic little self. Stfu
As someone who was homeless, this is extremely incorrect
The major cause of Homelessness is spending your Rent Money on DRUGS . . . .No mention of all the Drug use is all the free TENTS given out by Multnomah County . . . .
You seem pretty out of touch. Do you even know how much money most people pay in rent every month? Drugs aren't that expensive. While there may be many people hooked on serious drugs who are homeless, it absolutely does not reflect the experience of most people. I know more than one person who works 50 hours a week who are homeless. People with degrees and work ethic. They've just been screwed over by circumstances, and now they're being marked as criminals. I wish you wouldn't stir up hate against them by insinuating that they're all drug addicts.
@@richm368 Can't work when you are high all the time . . . Can't get room mates to reduce your rent when you are on drugs . . . if you're not on drugs, family would let you live with them until a job is found.. Drugs are expensive if you use them 5 to 10 times a day!
@@richm368They are not being marked as criminals unless they behave like one . Put this down as things that didn't hsppen.
@@MUUKOW3 Sleeping on the street is a criminal offense now. So, sleeping on the street "marks" them as a criminal. I don't know anywhere that it is legal to sleep on the streets when there is a place you can go. The only difference is now it doesn't matter if there is a place to go.
Here’s what the gov’t needs to do: if any person makes under ‘X’ amount of money, they get a portion of their rent subsidized automatically. That way, there is no red tape to go through, the landlord still gets paid, and the tenant doesn’t have to spend 2/3 of their paycheck on rent. And if you make above ‘X’ amount, you get a monthly check every month equal to what the lower-income earners would receive toward rent. If taxes keep going up, it’s only fair that they help us out.
There needs to be a federal sales tax so we can have limited version of socialism for CITIZENS ONLY

I have mentioned several times. A encampment out side of city with housing,meals healthcare and maybe training for work. Maybe work on the grounds, maybe gardening ,cleanup, help in kitchen.
give them a chance to mend. If anything a place to be without being illegal.
The Supreme Court Would Have Never Ruled Against The Homeless If. Gavin Newsom Would Have Done His Job!
When you start pooping on the street and leaving your IV needles, you are the cruel and unusual punishment to tax payers.
Stop putting your tents on sidewalks find a wooded area to put ypur tent up
The ordinance of Grants Pass, which was just now ruled constitutional, forbids that.
Most wooded areas are properties that belong to people. You clearly don’t understand what private property is
@@MB-xv7erThis state has more federal public land than private .
How about we tackle income inequality and corporate greed. The driving issue behind poverty and ever-inflating housing costs. But we can't, because Republicans refuse to tax their wealthy donors or regulate corporate greed.
Truck drivers should boycott Oregon like they did NYC. ❤
Oregon brought this vagrancy problem on itself by decriminalizing public drug use.
This is everywhere actually
Where are you from?
@@All-due-respect-I-disagree I am in Florida where public drug use was never decriminalized. Oregon decriminalized drugs, and the streets were overtaken by drug addicts.

There are old schools and warehouse that are vacant send them to these areas

This is great! One of the fall outs of this communities are going to have to take care of this. I love it! No more urine, weed for days, vomit, feces, garbage spit and drunks!!!
REPEAL HB 3115!
Stop building shelters that kick them out in 30:days . Give them permanent housing . Also srop acting like there arent solutuins. Its an excuse .
Just give it to them at everyone else's expense, what are they going to do in return for free housing ? Oh I know spend the money on drugs and have zero responsibility.
This is some serious bullshit!
Need to protest the supreme court and the state legislature
People come from other places to be homeless there. Not fair to the residents.
You don’t have a right to put up camp where ever you want.
Watch me
You do realize that was never allowed right? Did it occur to you that this is saying they don't have a right to put up camp anywhere, period? It's ok, go ahead and clap for cruelty. I'm sure that could never backfire.
*The whole world is lying in the power of the [wicked one]. (1 John 5: 19)* Where anyone hears the word of the Kingdom but does not get the sense of it, the [wicked one] comes and snatches away what has been sown in his heart. Keep your senses, be watchful! Your adversary, [the Devil], walks about like a roaring lion, seeking to devour someone. The Devil said: “I will give you all this authority and their glory, because it has been handed over to me, and I give it to whomever I wish. Satan has been influencing world powers, anyone in the justice system, and all who do not obey God's standards of living. This system of things created by Satan the devil will soon end.

Seen COST of HOUSING /FOOD ? 1 Job NOT ENOUGH !
Every encampment looks like a dump site and brings value down with businesses. Maybe if you kept the area clean it wouldn’t be an issue sleeping in the park. Every site looks disgusting and unsanitary.
F*** your business community..
Housing is a private industry. The Developers are in business to make maximum profits. That is capitalism. So, there will never be affordable housing in California, Oregon, Washington and Hawaii. Because the developers can make units that sell in the millions. Why would they build tens of thousands of homes for $100K? Politicians don't have answers, so their go to answer is, "We need more affordable housing". Well, who is going to build that? The Federal Government, The State Government or Local Government. The 240 units in Los Angeles skid row, cost $600,000 per unit to build for the homeless. So who paid that $600 Million dollar price tag?
Homeless Nakba
"Homeless, homeless, out-of-range,
where the hobos and the dispossessed pray,
where seldom is heard an encouraging word,
and the skies are chem-cloudy all day...
"Happily-housed, Happily-housed in their homes,
where empty trailers and cabins are displayed,
where often is heard a disparaging word,
and the coffers go ca-ching ca-ching all day..."
.
Help me out here. I need a Definition of what Homelessness is. I big fire swept through a community and there are now more people that there are houses until the Rebuilding is completed. This is one type of Homelessness. I'm Mentally Ill, a Substance Abuser and or I don't have any Job Skills is another type of Homelessness. The first Homeless fire victims we can help. The people who don't or can't work and be productive are a different story. Everything that most of us have we earned and most of that earning wasn't enjoyable. Most uf us started planning this at 15 years of age.
Why are they Homeless??? Life centers around the Responsibilities of Adult Living and providing for yourself and contributing to the community. Life isn't supposed to be enjoyable. I don't care if you're happy and I don't care if you don't like the rules. You have to be Productive, even when it hurts.
Affordable housing, what a joke. Affordable housing for the rich is what ever they want. That doesn’t work with the 0 income level. I actually have some income, 1100.00 a month social security, after working 50 years in construction. 8:29 As written right now the state will make me pay 30 to 40 percent of my income for rent. Well doesn’t leave much left over. Think about what you pay.
Making up rules to force homeless into what the government wants…lol
Government, think about how you live, what you need, then you’ll know what to do.
How sad did they buy or give them so land, WOE to the RICH theres no more 1.00 burgers only 1.00 drugs
Lost your job go to jail. This is how there going to fill prisons . Employers are going to turn into tyrants .
Seriously.
Prison need more people in them too stay open.so why not put all homeless people into prison ok.there they will have a bed and bars too.ok seems ok too me.
I bet if you offered them a place to live and a job with the understanding they could no longer use drugs and had to live responsibly, that most of them would would not take it. Why be responsible when you an do as you please, live where you want and take drugs all day?
ANY OF YOU , ever LOOKED at RENT prices ! Also Offering TEMP. Housing is a JOKE !
i have deep empathy to homeless peoples but they are not the only one who live in the city. We are not talking about they can't bring they blankets, food, backpack, etc here. We are talking all the belongings that blocking the whole sidewalk so other can't pass through especially the handicap....I think the supreme court make a right decision here. The city leader has right to clean and organize the city that they manage.
On the other hand, the city leader MUST provide more public facilities such as trach can, bathroom/restroom, shelter so they can access them easily
So what good do you all do? Why do you all run for office if you are not doing your jobs...!!!!!!!!!
What can they do? Just let people set up makeshift shelters and then bring their filth and drugs into the neighborhood? People have to do what needs to be done. Quit drugs and drinking get two jobs and roommates with jobs. It’s better than being homeless and starving and filthy
It is said that lies of omission are the most despicable. What is not being mentioned is the growing number of "homeless" campers who are wilfully choosing the lifestyle over taking responsibility for their own shelter. It is a fact that shelters that impose reasonable safety rules have spare beds every night while homeless campers defecate and create havoc in once clean and orderly properties.
The homeless advocates should house the homeless in their own home if they care for the homeless people so much. The homeless issue will disappear if all the homeless advocates out there adopt one and house them in their own home. Taxpayers deserve to enjoy the public area that their tax dollars paid for without putting up with the filthy & dangerous conditions caused by homeless encampments. Instead, the homeless advocates just take the grant monies from the gov to pretend like they care about homeless people while laughing all the way to the bank. Homeless advocates just want more homeless people because they profit from them. These homeless advocates are only crying now cuz their revenue stream might become smaller after this ruling. We have lots of shelter spaces that the homeless refuses to sleep in then go around & complains that they don't get help, this ruling should address this problem.
HOMELESSNESS IS GOVERNMENT FAILURE. PEOPLE VOTE FOR THEM BELIEVING LIFE WOULD BE BETTER. GOVERNMENT HAS ALL THE POWER TO MAKE LIFE BETTER. INSTEAD, IT WENT TO WORSE.
Its going to cost alot of money to criminalize the homeless where as communities should put the money into shelters and affordable housing. Seems like a no brainer.At one time there were poor farms, where homeless were sheltered and worked, farmed, this was paid for by the state.
Ohh your news isn't biased is it. Get them out and reclaim your community
Theres land all over just let people build tiny homes . People act as if the land isnt ours . Freedom of the land is real
finally have some common sense. How can i let homeless people affect normal people’ daily life?
We can do better for our fellow Americans. We can do better.
Who else is sick of religious people telling me what I can and can't do??
They have the right to sleep but not camp that mean every morning they have to roll up and leave till nite time
Now tax the churches to build housing for the poor.
This is a beautiful decision thank you judges 🎉😂
Good!
This is a problem that requires compassion, but I recently encountered people camping in the Public Restroom stalls of a big City Library. Every Stall! There was no way to use those stalls for the reason they are there. This doesn't make any sense! I had to find facilities elsewhere. Why have a public restroom if you cannot use it for it's intended purpose. There has to be a way to fix this, we are smart inventive people, we can do it! Spoiler Alert: it may require some money.
you forgot a few more important human traits: SELFISH AND GREEDY
Nice long report on the issue
About 7 years too late...

It means the cities will have to provide homeless shelters. Humans are not made to live outside in the weather.
Where did you come up with that idea? This ruling says that cities DO NOT have to provide shelters. It only allows them to ticket, or imprison people camping on the street, which was already the case, but before the city was required to ensure that the person had a place to go before issuing a citation, or performing an arrest. That restriction has been removed.
There is a solution. Time to get the homeless registered to vote.

I think its wrong . Tents and camping should be allowed . These are people we need to care about . Camping at schools no not good .
I never seen high rent costs on the Bible . In the Bible they just rebuilt homes wherever they went . Maybe the problem is the rent and not the tents
Rent is just our government trying to make money off our people . Read the Bible . Where did the beginning of the world have thousand dollar rent .....they didn't it's greed in our society . It's what Americans have caused . Our rent is worse than all other countries .

You're kidding, right? Do you have any idea how many homeless did work? How many still do? Get off your high horse, or should I say high jackass?
Law enforcement is going to fine an unhoused person? With no address? With no money? 🔥👨🏻⚖️ 🚫🧠🔥
Omg! What are these sancuary cities going to do now?
OK what would you cut from your City Budget to pay for housing homeless? Cut the Budgets of Public Schools? Or how about the Fire Dept? The money has to come from someplace. Maybe raise property taxes?
Homeless camps are living graffiti
Housed people are hopeless
They work all year except vacation and hollidays
Inwich they play camp.
I got upset cause people were feeding the Birds and chipmunk right in front of the hungry bum.
Bring the guy over to your house then.
Aren't they already punished enough? They are harassed constantly, if you punish them for exsisting how does that help anything? They are not chosing to be homelss, they need afordable housing many are disabled.it is cruel and unusual punishment.
Some of them do actually choose that lifestyle. Plenty of local interviews with them proving that, so stop saying all don't want to be homeless, or implying it. Or they choose to not give up their drugs to get into a shelter or assisted living. Or choose not to go into rehab when after literally saving their lives from their overdose with narcan... so, some are choosing to be this way. A lot, actually.
Let them stay at your house then!
@@ninthsquarecommunity if I had a house then I would most definitely let one stay at a time till I could find them a home, that is a great idea!. But As it is I make them dinner or lunch and give their animals food.
I am reposting my personal story because Steve had it taken down. I was homeless as a teenager because my mom got a divorce and there was nowhere for me to go, it was not due to drugs. I was homeless when I was in a car accident and lost everything due to my injuries. Again not my fault and not due to drugs. I was homeless again due to the wildfire that burned my house down and my whole neighborhood. Again no fault of my own. Alot of people are disabled they cannot afford housing. Or fell on hard times but unless you have a family member or partner to take you in then you are homeless. I am not living in the Portland Area so am not seeing the giant numbers of people homeless like you are, and I know that alot of homeless people are from other states and alot have felonies that limit their being able to get work or housing again or have drug addictions. Alot have mental health stuff but that is not a shameful I don't understand criminalizing people who are already vulnerable. Regan did away with all the federal funding for mental health sanitariums and shut down all the hospitals and that has put alot of people on the street. Look for the solution to the problem and then fix that, putting them in jail is not a productive solution but with Repubs "cruelty is the point" and THAT IS shameful
Not allowing a person to sleep is cruel regardless of what the courts say.
This is being argued on the wrong point. The United States of America is a government of the people, by the people, and for the people. Nowhere does it say the residency status is a disqualification factor. You can't deny the public access to public property. It belongs to them.
I love sotomaters answer with" necessity of sleep". What a dope on the Supreme Court. She must sleep at work. sotomayers remarks sounds sleepyheaded
Give the homeless people the address of the judges and city officials for the homeless can camp on thier Street and in front of their house. Then we will see what they do about the camping. Will they enforce them to get out of the area? The address of the Supreme Court judges also.
She is sitting in a car and complaining?! WOW!
That's awesome news.
Thank you holy god!
Grants pass is a hick town
Portland is a metro plex
City governments have the right and responsibility to zone areas for use. Tent sleeping should fall under this right and responsibility.
Mean while he says,
Here at home
Putting homeless in jail doesnt solve problem just makes it worse
Actually if you think about it it does because who's causing all the chaos the homeless people
Even if U leave aside the physical harm of limiting one's shelter options; just imagine what this must do to one's psyche: well, just present as INVISIBLE & we'll leave U alone; because we just don't even want to look at U - You're not worthy! The more re-enforcement of being so devalued & then when they start doing drugs since afterall, nobody cares anyways (which often morphs into mental illness), well, that's their fault too, so we will criminalize THAT, as well! The R in REPUBLICAN stands for: The PARTY 4 the RICH!
And yet it is under democratic party rule homelessness has exploded.
Invite them over to your house then!
