@Blacksmith AutoWerks INC because unregulated private business has worked so well. didn't texas just lose power during a winter storm because a private business didn't spend money on insulation and a pipeline was shutdown because they didn't spend money on security? It's a nice thought, but when profit is the motivation of a company they only do as little as possible for as little as possible. You're just asking to waste money and make people rich for 5 or 10 years until the free money dries up.
It’s not all drug addicts. After they closed the psychiatric hospitals the people suffering from mental illness had no where to go. I used to see a homeless girl in my neighborhood walking around talking to invisible people. It’s sad and yes a lot of them are dirt bags but some of them deserve compassion
the 2 more often than not go hand in hand. a lot of the crazies are actually crazy because they have fried their brains. drug induced schizophrenia is a real thing.
Nope. It was the same with the border crisis. When the government stepped in to put the migrants up in hotels to ease the overcrowding situation in the detenion facilities it end up costing tax payers $3k per person, per night! They couldn't of just handed them $65 and directions to the nearest Motel 6????
My typed words had nothing to do with why Mr. Rogan moved . My typed words based on my first hand experience with business owners and property managers/owners.
I used to work at a homeless shelter in Los Angeles and let me tell you , housing will not solve anything, we've had clients straight out leave and rather sleep out side because they rather do drugs and sleep outside then follow rules and sleep in a bed. What they need in more mental health resources but yall not ready for that convo...🤷🏻♀️
You are correct^ I was listening to Tim Dillon speak with Yannis Papas (who used to work in social work)…. said the same thing you just did -> that homeless ppl would literally bring junk into their apartments from the street OR just disappear and live on the streets for 2 weeks and then ‘come back’ to the house for a day or two before going back under the bridge
I work for a mental health org. Part of what we do is find housing and services for homeless. It's a revolving door; Find them an apartment, get it furnished, hook them up with medical services, EBT, etc, etc. A couple months in they trashed the place, sold the appliances, invite their fellow addicts in to party. They get evicted and it starts all over again. Not easy to find landlords who want that shit anymore.
We need to offer a free cruise. Then float on out into the ocean, have a helicopter pick up the staff from the boat and just leave them floating in the ocean to their own devices. But we need to put cameras everywhere and stream that shit.
Wow that's actually eye opening. I always thought there was no money going towards the homeless problem. It all makes sense now. The homeless problem won't end because people don't want their 6 figure checks to end.

This lady is full of crap. Yes Austin is a smaller city than LA. But the scale of homeless people in LA is off the charts in comparison. If you’ve been to LA, there’s no way you could confuse the two. LA metro. is 8 times the size of Austin metro. But they have 20 times as many homeless.

When I lived in LA, it never ceased to amaze me how the hipsters are totally oblivious to how terrible LA is. One time I started working with a client who had just moved into a fancy loft in a rennovated building Downtown. I visited them at their expensive apartment and parked in what looked like a third world country for a parking spot, with dirty, broken pavement and potholes filled with luminescent green water. Then I stepped over homeless people leaning up against the building. And then I stepped over a big turd on the sidewalk before finally reaching the front door. The loft sure was nice, though. Not long after that, I was on a crew unloading a truck in a alley, also Downtown, which was filled with tons of turds, and I told the others "don't wheel those cases through dog turds," and one of them replied "those aren't dog turds." This was adjacent to another renovated building with fancy apartments with their windows and patios overlooking this disgusting alley.
Austin is so gross with the homeless. I’m literally uncomfortable sitting in my car at most red lights. I have a heart and I feel bad for how I try not to make eye contact. It’s just out of control they are everywhere
Try not to be uncomfortable and just be friendly. I've been going around Dallas offering water bottles, food and someone to talk to for the homeless. So far, no takers. They're not so helpless as you think.
I had this problem in Florida. We used to throw Mcdonalds drinks at them as we drove by. Most would have to move elsewhere after they cleaned up. I honestly think we helped get rid of them. It was common knowledge to hassle them. No reason to put up with that . It ruins you community, home value, etc..
He went to Austin for tax reasons nothing else. And when Texas starts catching up he will move again. That's the beauty of being Spotifies best paid employee.
my cousin was explaining that he can't afford a 1 bedroom studio despite making 20 bucks an hour. Because you need to prove 3x the rent to get approved. Then it starts making sense why people are living outdoors. When you are charging 1600 a month (x3) for 450 square feet
that's the cool thing about having a PhD in Homelessness Studies, everyone you talk to by definition is less educated than you on the subject. if anyone says the $200k on you isn't well spent, you just point out who holds the doctorate, then cite a long complex set of theories and statistics, and ask them to pinpoint the flaw in your approach. Theory says that you are right, according to other PhDs.
The only people who can "fix" it are the people themselves. You can't change anyone against their will and, believe me, having working in the homeless housing field, very few have any interest in changing anything. Staying fucked up is their life's ambition.
It's interesting to think that a person who might be employed and function as a working adult and contribute to the economy, could still have the reality of having a nonliving structure to live from out of in L.A. My statement based off of the cost of living and the number of affordable structures that could house a single person , that meet "Code" and are run by fair and decent management or city personnel.
Yea but his solution of just tell them no camping is delusional. You tell them no camping and they just move a few blocks down then circle back. You arrest them and your tax dollars pay for them to stay until they are released and the cycle repeats
@ mostly? Well could be a fact, but then again are we now implying that felon's are the majority and can't be placed anywhere Or is it that to gain a felon charge is quite simple In the grand scheme of laws and judicial sentences. It's not surprising that most people who have a prior conviction of a felony are very aware of the separation of meaningful employment and being rejected when applying for said employment. But I'm guessing that the majority of homeless have been dealt a shitty, real bad hand in the beginning of their lives. Foster parents dew to the inability of their biological parents or young mother. On and on the basic truth is the population growth has been and continues to produce more of the products of environment.
Old Joe would have invited a homeless person to talk about how they live and what issues they have. New Joe invites some blonde to complain about how annoying the homeless are to look at.
The old rogan was trying to build up an audience ,The new rogan is a millionaire 100 time over so he could care less about what a home person thinks he just wants then out his sight
When you pay people massive six figure salaries to fix an issue like homelessness you’re not incentivizing them to fix it, you’re incentivizing bandaid solutions. Solutions that never truly fix the problem. If they solve homelessness, then they’re no longer needed to solve the problem. Bye bye massive six figure salary.
I try to always put myself in other people's shoes. Imagine being one of these six figure salaried homeless busters. Like do they realize they're paid ridiculously high for not solving an issue that's only getting worse? Maybe that floats around in the back of their minds and haunts them when they take too many shrooms. What's probably going on is these are affluent, college educated, liberals. They've been taught in these elite university settings, they give a lot of weight to the theory behind social science, they're intellectuals, and they're really really trying to be good, empathetic leaders. They think they know what's best for poor, homeless people. They think they deserve all that money and it's justified. They think they'd have a truly massive impact on homelessness if only the greedy corporations and the crooked politicians pulling the strings. They're just in these elite, social worker, liberal, intellectual bubbles. Also, I'm sure there are some real assholes who know they're making the big bucks to ineffectively address the homeless issue, but I 'd say most of these people really do have a version of reality where they're just good guys, working hard to fight against homelessness. Their biggest critics, conversely, have their own versions of reality where these overpaid social workers are nothing but anchors and leeches on society. A more true reality is probably somewhere in between.
Rogan knows fuck all about homelessness in America and cherry-picked a handful of people in executive positions for his salary critique. The vast, vast majority of people working locally across the country to manage the homeless crisis are either 100% volunteers or are paid peanuts. Don't let the meathead mislead you.

They need to get.... away from me, because that's most of the problem. The home owners don't pay taxes so these people can beg for scraps at their doorstep.
Doctors, lawyers, investors, oil companies, and homelessness managers should get paid based on how they decrease the problems, not increase the markets by CREATING more needy consumers (including homeless' need for gov consumption because death is the only alternative to inability to attain/hold shitty and hated jobs).
@@joeyn4607 don't lump in the homeless population with the poor working class. poor people keep the country running, (most)homeless are fucking tweaker leeches. most working class people in LA hate the homeless, its the trust fund art/journalism liberals with money who enable and protect the homeless who just end up causing stress and harm to the working class.
I don't hate or resent the rich merely because they are wealthy. Most of them became wealthy because they were able to provide goods or services that people wanted, and so they were successful. If you want to hate the rich who became rich through vulture capitalism, buying companies and strip mining them for profit before shutting them down, destroying local economies to line their pockets, and swindling and subverting on an international scale through stock market games and hedge fund manipulative predatory tricks, I can understand that. I can also understand why the rich don't think that money should be thrown at the homeless problem. I resent that my money could be taken by threat of force or legal punishment and given to people who are willingly homeless and not working. It's different for those who are truly mentally ill and can't function in society, but in my area, the overwhelming majority of homeless live the way they do because they use hard drugs all day, and they just don't want to be in society. They stand on the side of roads or walk through traffic, wearing clothes nicer than mine, looking and smelling freshly bathed; these are the ones who most likely don't have a hard drug problem and just make money by asking people for it. Then there are the ones I look a little rougher, but you can tell in conversation with them that they are mentally normal, and you can see on their faces that they are using hard drugs. Then there were the ones who walk around talking to themselves, unable to interact with people on a normal level, looking extremely disheveled, unbathed, smelling like body odor and urine. Those are the ones I feel bad for.

The wife and I visited Austin. We avoided Austin after seeing all the homeless. We drive to San Antonio. So much cleaner, so much more inviting. We loved San Antonio.
Yeah, San Antonio is better. The people are nicer, it's way cleaner like you said, you don't see homeless everywhere.... Austin has a lot of issues. I lived in San Antonio for a few years and now Austin for a couple. I miss San Antonio
I’ve lived in both, and SA is definitely better, but you’re ultimately going to see every big city go downhill to some extent because of the people who run them. I recently moved to New Braunfels.
I've volunteered at several homeless shelters over the years. Providing all sorts of assistance and opportunities to get people back on their feet, even for felons. I have found everyone's story is different. But 90% of them were all decisions they've made or were still making that kept them there. Some of them were very successful prior to living on the street, but got bad breaks and just needed a little time to get back on their feet. Others chose to be homeless because they got that welfare check every month and qualified for disability. A common story among most who stayed homeless is they had no drive, or desire to do, or go, or become anything more than being provided for, no matter how many opportunities were available. Depression and alcoholism were commonplace, where all the money went to getting drunk or high simply to forget their troubles. One I remember couldn't get a job because they kept failing the drug tests that they needed to get clean for, and refused to get cleared with rehab. We can try and help people as much as possible, but just like to horse to the water, you cannot help anyone who won't take the measures to help themselves.
@Globglogabgolab 2.0 True, but not wanting to get better is a mental health issue in the first place. Its easy to separate from homeless people by saying "they just don't want help", not my problem. Then you can look down on them and not feel bad (not saying you do this but many do). There is a gigantic mental health crisis and equally large stigma still attached to it.
This is the most inept discussion about homelessness I have ever heard. This is not a State's issue, this is an entire country issue. Whether you see homeless people daily or not, its gonna take sweeping changes to make an impact.
Facts. One State could solve an isolated issue however nothing is really stopping other ppl from other parts of the country to flock there seeking a safe haven. The homeless migrate towards densely populated areas since there are more social services in those areas. Up here in Toronto, Canada, tent encampments have been popping up to the point where laws are being pushed through the system to have them removed. The issue is global even.
Hey privileged White female, try going somewhere with homelessness and seeing for yourself what it’s like. You don’t need TH-cam to “teach” you anything.
@@TheGeorgeous I would happily contribute to a solution if the offending party were willing to engage. Until then, they are a nuisance and should be treated as such.
I passed by a field a few years ago in Louisiana that was a graveyard of Fema campers from Katrina. Grass never cut and just rotting. At least sell the campers instead of letting them rot.
If a private company wanted to buy them, they would have offered. You want the government to start soliciting while there is the fear of being sued and having a "politically bad" spot light? The system is working just the way the rich feel comfortable with it.

I am not a huge fan of Spotify because of their persistent refusal to offer lossless audio format, which is really important to me. But other than that, no other service I've tried matches them in terms of playlist generation (according to what you listened to in the past), low amount of bugs (e.g. Tidal, which I use for times when I really need hi-res music - cuts off frequently when streaming chromecast to my DAC), niche music, and UI (which is debatable, because it's a personal preference). This week I considered moving to Apple music (I use iPhone), since they are releasing their lossless audio offering, but given that it does not offer dedicated application on Linux, I'll have to stick around with Spotify, until they enable high-res audio. When that happens, no other service (for my particular use) will offer better service for my money.
You get more homeless people in California because homeless people from other states move there. They treat them better there and the weather is much more tolerable than lets say Phoenix or NY City.
I grew up in Austin in the 80s and 90s, it was an absolute gem of a town. I left almost 20 years ago and whenever I go back to visit it's unrecognizable. It's sad what became of my hometown.

Having worked in that field I can tell you, they will be kicked out of everyplace they ever lived. Few people (landlords especially) will tolerate the filthy lifestyles of an addict, and no means has ever been discovered that can make people sober against their will.
I met a ex-homeless woman in Austin who hated the other homeless. She had 2 kids and became homeless for 6 months, but had a local church who helped her get back on her feet and she found a job quick as a security guard downtown. She would roll her eyes at the rest who were milling around drunk or high while begging strangers.
There’s a simple reason to that. It’s because the City of Austin gives more money and programs to the homeless rather than any other city in Texas. Why, if I was homeless, would I go to any small Texan town or even Dallas or Houston? It’s already hot as fuck here, I need some place to help me.
Why can't homeless people become millionaires? Were these people in the discussion just given millions of dollars or have they earned it?? None of them look like hunter Biden or Joe biden.
Keep making it comfortable to be homeless and you will continue to have a homelessness crisis. The outreach programs in my community emphasise personal development and responsibility. You can't get a free room, clothes, and food without sobering up first. Then there's free opportunities to get to go to rehab, learn skills, and reenter the workforce. There's compassion, but not to a fault.
Very good point! Portland and LA and even New York will basically allow the homeless to do whatever. Washington Square Park I've seen they just let them inject drugs in front of everyone and they even removed the curfew there so people can party there all night. In San Francisco they don't even prosecute theft in stores so nobody cares. Small drug possession of hard drugs is even just a ticket. Then they want to defund the police too?! 🤦♂️😂
This has a very dehumanizing tone. Rather than ask why this person is addicted to drugs or "has stopped caring", you just say "I don't care about you or your life unless you can show you can provide labor". So devoted to the idea of labor defining you as a human being, that you don't think humans should be given any kind of compassion unless they can create value for someone to siphon. Maybe if we started treated all humans like humans, and worked to help fix the conditions that led them to these unhealthy practices... we'd create healthier societies with people who work because they want to work - almost all of us want to work when our basic needs are being met. Humans crave structure and feel accomplished after laboring and having something to show for their labor... but if they are still dealing with trauma that has paralyzed them - they need compassion - full stop - not a directive to "get better so you can provide value or no compassion for you"
@@jlcrimm1 There has to be a balance. If you are an adult you have to be able to create at least the minimum possible value to pull your weight in the world. You are doing it just for someone to siphon you are doing it for yourself. Its your own responsibility nobody else's. So while some people might be completely incapable of pulling their weight and they shouldn't just be left for dead by society, there's also people who are capable of doing it and choosing not to. Show compassion, don't treat them like trash. But also dont enable them to make one shitty decision after another and expect someone else to handle it every time.
@@jlcrimm1 lol huh...no one said anything you put in quotes. There's a problem with homelessness. Here's the solution that works in my community; investing resources into people rejoining society in a productive way. A big part of being in society and having a healthy balance to your life is contributing in some capacity. That typically requires skills. Like learning how to use building tools or type on a computer. Nowhere did I insinuate anyones value being directly tied to their labor ability, or be dismissive to personal struggle.
I was homeless for two and a half years in my early twenties. What a nightmare. It's really not a personal problem so much as a systematic one. It's the system that needs to change. One person can only do so much.

Well to be fair I been in Austin for about 3 years, and I didn't really see any homeless under overpasses and such while driving for the first two and a half. But in the kast 6 to 9 months they came out of nowhere and now there's hardly an overpass without some tents. So it seems like maybe he brought them with him, and he should go back where he came from.

@Blacksmith AutoWerks INC because unregulated private business has worked so well. didn't texas just lose power during a winter storm because a private business didn't spend money on insulation and a pipeline was shutdown because they didn't spend money on security? It's a nice thought, but when profit is the motivation of a company they only do as little as possible for as little as possible. You're just asking to waste money and make people rich for 5 or 10 years until the free money dries up.
I dont agree with rogans take here but you sir are definitely onto something
It’s not all drug addicts. After they closed the psychiatric hospitals the people suffering from mental illness had no where to go. I used to see a homeless girl in my neighborhood walking around talking to invisible people. It’s sad and yes a lot of them are dirt bags but some of them deserve compassion
My state (Nevada) lost a lawsuit after it was discovered the state was shipping mental patients to california with a 1 way bus ticket.
The use of 'Dirtbag'...
They all deserve compassion. They're animals so far removed from their nature its a pity they'll never get to thrive.
Who said these people don’t deserve compassion ? Addict , mental illness or not !! It’s that what is happening is not working and getting worse .

I used to work at a homeless shelter in Los Angeles and let me tell you , housing will not solve anything, we've had clients straight out leave and rather sleep out side because they rather do drugs and sleep outside then follow rules and sleep in a bed. What they need in more mental health resources but yall not ready for that convo...🤷🏻♀️
They need both.
You are correct^
I was listening to Tim Dillon speak with Yannis Papas (who used to work in social work)…. said the same thing you just did -> that homeless ppl would literally bring junk into their apartments from the street OR just disappear and live on the streets for 2 weeks and then ‘come back’ to the house for a day or two before going back under the bridge
That's what Finland did. And it helped massively.
I work for a mental health org. Part of what we do is find housing and services for homeless. It's a revolving door; Find them an apartment, get it furnished, hook them up with medical services, EBT, etc, etc. A couple months in they trashed the place, sold the appliances, invite their fellow addicts in to party. They get evicted and it starts all over again. Not easy to find landlords who want that shit anymore.
We need to offer a free cruise. Then float on out into the ocean, have a helicopter pick up the staff from the boat and just leave them floating in the ocean to their own devices. But we need to put cameras everywhere and stream that shit.
Wow that's actually eye opening. I always thought there was no money going towards the homeless problem. It all makes sense now. The homeless problem won't end because people don't want their 6 figure checks to end.
Ya Colin Noire brought it up last time he was on the podcast. I didn't know any of this shit either. Truly mind boggling stuff this Nation does.
It’s not just because of that. It’s because governments, democrat and republicans, just don’t care to spend money on helping people.

When I lived in LA, it never ceased to amaze me how the hipsters are totally oblivious to how terrible LA is. One time I started working with a client who had just moved into a fancy loft in a rennovated building Downtown. I visited them at their expensive apartment and parked in what looked like a third world country for a parking spot, with dirty, broken pavement and potholes filled with luminescent green water. Then I stepped over homeless people leaning up against the building. And then I stepped over a big turd on the sidewalk before finally reaching the front door. The loft sure was nice, though. Not long after that, I was on a crew unloading a truck in a alley, also Downtown, which was filled with tons of turds, and I told the others "don't wheel those cases through dog turds," and one of them replied "those aren't dog turds." This was adjacent to another renovated building with fancy apartments with their windows and patios overlooking this disgusting alley.

Yes it is, I visited Austin 3 years ago and it was bad then. I can only imagine how it is now.
My trick was to leave space between me and the car in front of me and then pull up when they approach my car.
Try not to be uncomfortable and just be friendly. I've been going around Dallas offering water bottles, food and someone to talk to for the homeless. So far, no takers. They're not so helpless as you think.

that's the cool thing about having a PhD in Homelessness Studies, everyone you talk to by definition is less educated than you on the subject.
if anyone says the $200k on you isn't well spent, you just point out who holds the doctorate, then cite a long complex set of theories and statistics, and ask them to pinpoint the flaw in your approach. Theory says that you are right, according to other PhDs.
This applies to Military and Aerospace contracting perfectly too.
The only people who can "fix" it are the people themselves. You can't change anyone against their will and, believe me, having working in the homeless housing field, very few have any interest in changing anything. Staying fucked up is their life's ambition.

It's interesting to think that a person who might be employed and function as a working adult and contribute to the economy, could still have the reality of having a nonliving structure to live from out of in L.A.
My statement based off of the cost of living and the number of affordable structures that could house a single person , that meet "Code" and are run by fair and decent management or city personnel.
Yea but his solution of just tell them no camping is delusional. You tell them no camping and they just move a few blocks down then circle back. You arrest them and your tax dollars pay for them to stay until they are released and the cycle repeats
@ mostly? Well could be a fact, but then again are we now implying that felon's are the majority and can't be placed anywhere
Or is it that to gain a felon charge is quite simple In the grand scheme of laws and judicial sentences.
It's not surprising that most people who have a prior conviction of a felony are very aware of the separation of meaningful employment and being rejected when applying for said employment.
But I'm guessing that the majority of homeless have been dealt a shitty, real bad hand in the beginning of their lives.
Foster parents dew to the inability of their biological parents or young mother. On and on the basic truth is the population growth has been and continues to produce more of the products of environment.

I try to always put myself in other people's shoes. Imagine being one of these six figure salaried homeless busters. Like do they realize they're paid ridiculously high for not solving an issue that's only getting worse? Maybe that floats around in the back of their minds and haunts them when they take too many shrooms. What's probably going on is these are affluent, college educated, liberals. They've been taught in these elite university settings, they give a lot of weight to the theory behind social science, they're intellectuals, and they're really really trying to be good, empathetic leaders. They think they know what's best for poor, homeless people. They think they deserve all that money and it's justified. They think they'd have a truly massive impact on homelessness if only the greedy corporations and the crooked politicians pulling the strings. They're just in these elite, social worker, liberal, intellectual bubbles. Also, I'm sure there are some real assholes who know they're making the big bucks to ineffectively address the homeless issue, but I 'd say most of these people really do have a version of reality where they're just good guys, working hard to fight against homelessness. Their biggest critics, conversely, have their own versions of reality where these overpaid social workers are nothing but anchors and leeches on society. A more true reality is probably somewhere in between.

I don't hate or resent the rich merely because they are wealthy. Most of them became wealthy because they were able to provide goods or services that people wanted, and so they were successful.
If you want to hate the rich who became rich through vulture capitalism, buying companies and strip mining them for profit before shutting them down, destroying local economies to line their pockets, and swindling and subverting on an international scale through stock market games and hedge fund manipulative predatory tricks, I can understand that.
I can also understand why the rich don't think that money should be thrown at the homeless problem. I resent that my money could be taken by threat of force or legal punishment and given to people who are willingly homeless and not working. It's different for those who are truly mentally ill and can't function in society, but in my area, the overwhelming majority of homeless live the way they do because they use hard drugs all day, and they just don't want to be in society.
They stand on the side of roads or walk through traffic, wearing clothes nicer than mine, looking and smelling freshly bathed; these are the ones who most likely don't have a hard drug problem and just make money by asking people for it.
Then there are the ones I look a little rougher, but you can tell in conversation with them that they are mentally normal, and you can see on their faces that they are using hard drugs.
Then there were the ones who walk around talking to themselves, unable to interact with people on a normal level, looking extremely disheveled, unbathed, smelling like body odor and urine. Those are the ones I feel bad for.

A Dogan colab would be amazing. Its what we all deserve.
I've volunteered at several homeless shelters over the years. Providing all sorts of assistance and opportunities to get people back on their feet, even for felons. I have found everyone's story is different. But 90% of them were all decisions they've made or were still making that kept them there. Some of them were very successful prior to living on the street, but got bad breaks and just needed a little time to get back on their feet. Others chose to be homeless because they got that welfare check every month and qualified for disability. A common story among most who stayed homeless is they had no drive, or desire to do, or go, or become anything more than being provided for, no matter how many opportunities were available. Depression and alcoholism were commonplace, where all the money went to getting drunk or high simply to forget their troubles. One I remember couldn't get a job because they kept failing the drug tests that they needed to get clean for, and refused to get cleared with rehab. We can try and help people as much as possible, but just like to horse to the water, you cannot help anyone who won't take the measures to help themselves.
Very sad but true. Depression is a serious problem that needs to be addressed
You need affordable therapy and healthcare that is accessible to the general public. Not everyone on the streets ends up there because of drugs.
High wages, low rent, problem solved.
How many of those people had mental illness of some kind? You didn't mention that but I bet it was a high percentage.
@Globglogabgolab 2.0 True, but not wanting to get better is a mental health issue in the first place. Its easy to separate from homeless people by saying "they just don't want help", not my problem. Then you can look down on them and not feel bad (not saying you do this but many do). There is a gigantic mental health crisis and equally large stigma still attached to it.
This is the most inept discussion about homelessness I have ever heard. This is not a State's issue, this is an entire country issue. Whether you see homeless people daily or not, its gonna take sweeping changes to make an impact.
Facts. One State could solve an isolated issue however nothing is really stopping other ppl from other parts of the country to flock there seeking a safe haven.
The homeless migrate towards densely populated areas since there are more social services in those areas. Up here in Toronto, Canada, tent encampments have been popping up to the point where laws are being pushed through the system to have them removed. The issue is global even.

Yeah dude, listening to Rogan whine about the homeless is ridiculous. Especially since his only answer is to cut funding and tell 100,000 people to pull themselves up by their bootstraps, despite the fact that many of them already have jobs, especially in LA.
@@a-par82 He should think about moving to a different part of Texas. He moved to a place with just as much homelessness and that's what he was trying to get away from?

Feel like Rogan's take on homelessness is one of his shittier ones. Might have missed his thoughts on solutions though so fair enough if so. A lot of it feels like "they need to stop being visible"

“Come to Spotify where everything is worse and the UI sucks.” “But it’s all free! With ads…”
I am not a huge fan of Spotify because of their persistent refusal to offer lossless audio format, which is really important to me. But other than that, no other service I've tried matches them in terms of playlist generation (according to what you listened to in the past), low amount of bugs (e.g. Tidal, which I use for times when I really need hi-res music - cuts off frequently when streaming chromecast to my DAC), niche music, and UI (which is debatable, because it's a personal preference).
This week I considered moving to Apple music (I use iPhone), since they are releasing their lossless audio offering, but given that it does not offer dedicated application on Linux, I'll have to stick around with Spotify, until they enable high-res audio. When that happens, no other service (for my particular use) will offer better service for my money.
You get more homeless people in California because homeless people from other states move there. They treat them better there and the weather is much more tolerable than lets say Phoenix or NY City.
Yeah definitely not the socialist policies incentivize welfare

The issue is homelessness, not the homeless.

Rain check this topic. Bring it up again with someone who takes a deep interest and can talk about actual problem solving. This needs a Joe Rogan deep dive.
Can't y'all see this is Hoovervilles all over again. The disperity between wages and home costs is absurd on average. This is no one parties fault.
Blame stagnant wage growth and infinite QE. Money grows on trees from the Fed money printer, and the wealthy are the only one that are catching them from falling.
In California its absolutely one party's fault
@@lakersfansince1991
Democrats pretend to be for solving the homeless problem but always exacerbate it by doing nothing because doing so would look cruel. This
Republicans say the government can't solve it, so they should just remove them and do nothing--while keeping minimum wages low and push for lower wages and print money so that they can make more money, and keep everyone else poor. Then they wonder why so many people are homeless.
Both parties suck. Can't blame it all on Democrats. The last 3 governors of the state were awful too.
@@lakersfansince1991 what you see happening in California is happening all around the country and it's taken decades to manifest itself stop kidding yourself and stop playing the blame game
@@moonrooster7160 republicans are just democrats doing the speed limit for sure but California is a direct result of 40 years of democratic policies. I’m no fan of Republicans but don’t play the “both sides are equal to blame” game either.

"Just go away!" is not a solution to the homelessness crisis in LA or anywhere else
The "cut the social services funding so they have no choice but to get a job" is such a dumb idea it boggles my mind that they would seriously say that.
Joe thinks they spend a lot of money in Los Angeles, he's like wow, 300 million dollars! That's a lot! Yeah Joe it's a lot to you, one person who just made hundreds of millions of dollars in a spotify deal. When you split it between 100,000 homeless people it's $3,000 each, which isn't enough to house someone in the middle of bumfuck nowhere let alone Los Angeles. Even here in the midwest it's hard to find an apartment for

They seem to be oblivious to fact that these people will still be homeless and some where after being kicked out of where they are. They can't just vanish.
Yeah they get bussed out to small desert towns around LA
Having worked in that field I can tell you, they will be kicked out of everyplace they ever lived. Few people (landlords especially) will tolerate the filthy lifestyles of an addict, and no means has ever been discovered that can make people sober against their will.
I met a ex-homeless woman in Austin who hated the other homeless. She had 2 kids and became homeless for 6 months, but had a local church who helped her get back on her feet and she found a job quick as a security guard downtown. She would roll her eyes at the rest who were milling around drunk or high while begging strangers.
Imagine that, the liberal city in Texas has homeless people. Keep Austin Weird.
I just visited Austin, and Jesus Christ. I wa shocked. There are homeless people on EVERY SINGLE STREET. It looks like SF out here.
@@duffal0 doo doo on every corner
There’s a simple reason to that. It’s because the City of Austin gives more money and programs to the homeless rather than any other city in Texas. Why, if I was homeless, would I go to any small Texan town or even Dallas or Houston? It’s already hot as fuck here, I need some place to help me.
@@pablojuan8522 there are as many if not more homeless in dallas or houston

Exactly, he could probably afford to buy apartment buildings or hotels and provide affordable housing for all the homeless people in Austin!

@@powderandpaint14 so could that funding that is 200k usd wages per year for all those employees
Keep making it comfortable to be homeless and you will continue to have a homelessness crisis. The outreach programs in my community emphasise personal development and responsibility. You can't get a free room, clothes, and food without sobering up first. Then there's free opportunities to get to go to rehab, learn skills, and reenter the workforce. There's compassion, but not to a fault.
Very good point! Portland and LA and even New York will basically allow the homeless to do whatever. Washington Square Park I've seen they just let them inject drugs in front of everyone and they even removed the curfew there so people can party there all night. In San Francisco they don't even prosecute theft in stores so nobody cares. Small drug possession of hard drugs is even just a ticket. Then they want to defund the police too?! 🤦♂️😂
This has a very dehumanizing tone. Rather than ask why this person is addicted to drugs or "has stopped caring", you just say "I don't care about you or your life unless you can show you can provide labor". So devoted to the idea of labor defining you as a human being, that you don't think humans should be given any kind of compassion unless they can create value for someone to siphon. Maybe if we started treated all humans like humans, and worked to help fix the conditions that led them to these unhealthy practices... we'd create healthier societies with people who work because they want to work - almost all of us want to work when our basic needs are being met. Humans crave structure and feel accomplished after laboring and having something to show for their labor... but if they are still dealing with trauma that has paralyzed them - they need compassion - full stop - not a directive to "get better so you can provide value or no compassion for you"
@@jlcrimm1 There has to be a balance. If you are an adult you have to be able to create at least the minimum possible value to pull your weight in the world. You are doing it just for someone to siphon you are doing it for yourself. Its your own responsibility nobody else's.
So while some people might be completely incapable of pulling their weight and they shouldn't just be left for dead by society, there's also people who are capable of doing it and choosing not to.
Show compassion, don't treat them like trash. But also dont enable them to make one shitty decision after another and expect someone else to handle it every time.
@@jlcrimm1 lol huh...no one said anything you put in quotes.
There's a problem with homelessness. Here's the solution that works in my community; investing resources into people rejoining society in a productive way. A big part of being in society and having a healthy balance to your life is contributing in some capacity. That typically requires skills. Like learning how to use building tools or type on a computer. Nowhere did I insinuate anyones value being directly tied to their labor ability, or be dismissive to personal struggle.
@@jlcrimm1 another compassionate yet broke philosopher
Crazy, I wonder why homeless people find themselves in liberal areas with a higher density of services to support them...

@@darthcelsius6393 root problems, in my opinion, are:
1. lack of affordable/government subsidized housing
2. lack of mental treatment options unless you're willing for fork over almost four figures a visit
I don't claim to have the answers, what I'm saying is that the strategy we're using right now (and this is prevalent in both RED AND BLUE areas) is basically, "well, this person complained about them being on their street, we'll kick em out of there and not worry where they go" which doesn't solve anything OBVIOUSLY
I’m visiting Austin right now, and coming from Dallas where I didn’t see a single homeless person, to Austin where EVERY street is lined with tents… I was literally shocked.

Well to be fair I been in Austin for about 3 years, and I didn't really see any homeless under overpasses and such while driving for the first two and a half. But in the kast 6 to 9 months they came out of nowhere and now there's hardly an overpass without some tents. So it seems like maybe he brought them with him, and he should go back where he came from.
@Wong Washer Allegedly and yet asfaik nobody I know has died. What I've seen is the needless destruction of small businesses by totalitarian government lockdowns as well as violent mobs that the government and big business encourage on one hand, while denying even exist on the other, or insisting they are actually peaceful. Meanwhile they gaslight us about how the biggest threat is what the Democrats were 60 years ago, pretending that's what Republicans are now. So for all I know, with how honest they are, what you say might not be true in even the slightest. In any case, we are ruled by pure evil passing as good.
