@@trolltyrant8344 I am very pro-capitalism and free market but even I recognize that the situation is getting out of controll, and not just in the US. Honestly, corporations should not be allowed to buy apartments / houses for investment purposes. I would also heavily tax any vacant living spaces so that owners are incentivized to rent them out. Something has to be done.
I can assure you. I worked for an agency for over 8 years as a case manager, and doing outreach. It is VERY much a lucrative operation. It is a business.There is NO incentive to reduce the number of homeless people, only an incentive to increase that population. These agencies hide behind a veil of benevolence and virtue, while at the same time raking in hundreds of thousands of dollars from the government, healthcare entities, taxpayers, and wealthy people who have no clue.
This is what they've done to poor cities my whole life. They allocate funds extracted from tax payers to reduce crime but actually steal the money. Rinse and repeat.
Yes your right about that and many people who work the frontlines begin to just want their pay check and not care about the corruption behind it all. Others try to change things and usually get fired or pushed to the point of quiting.
@@Kyra_of_Kerkyra Wrong. They cant pay taxes because they have no home. Its the societies job to help these people to get back on their feet to be productive members who are able to pay taxes. The only country which doesnt understand this simple math is the usa.
I comprehend your analogy. However, the government will never be homeless. Systemic practices for the most part have caused homelessness. Corporations are the government partners and the government allows greedy corporations to unfairly astronomically increase the price.
@@jamiefrazier5137 How do you take into account that in calif they have spent over 30 billion on the homelessness and it isn't getting better? Is corporations to blame? They could have bought homes for every single homeless person by now.

@@MysteriMaan our U.S leaders are making alot of money off of people not being able to buy homes. I know it sounds weird? But that's there plan. They don't really care about helping us citizens.

Negatives about living in NYC -absurdly high rent. -rampant crime. -incompetent leadership. -increasing homelessness problem. -lack of safe transportation options. Benefits of living in NYC - None If I missed any negatives or positives of living In NYC please reply.
Benefits: Many good people are here, places to go and things to do for free, and entertainment and some good food. Free transportation during certain parts of the year and in regard to taking transportation, after certain times the buses can drop you off closer to your stop if you tell the driver. The libraries are free, and you can apply for free IDs as well in some. Lots of schools and colleges, lots of churches {houses of worship), if that is your thing, outdoor festivals in every borough, parks and park activities like learning to golf or play tennis for kids, swimming, camp for the kids, the zoo in the Bronx and the Aquarium in Coney Island, both have free days. All the museums in NYC and other exhibits. The bars and restaurants, cafes and bingo and bowling, and arcades and archery, axe throwing. All the parades throughout the city throughout the year. So many events in so many places, you can learn to grow vegetables in a neighborhood garden. If you need more I can put more here.
You can do the same thing upstate New York, NYC is crazy with rent, but this will all collapse anyway. Homeownership with land is the way to go and there is land upstate. I don't know much about Iowa, but it might seem to be a very nice place to live. There are pros and cons everywhere, but I do believe what is going on here does have an effect subtly nationwide, it is just a matter of time before we see the results of all these people coming into the country and all the drug abuse driven into more rural areas. Overall, it's a shame and shouldn't be ignored.
@jimmyday9536 what part of New York is "nice??" I'm sorry, but as a tourist, that city is DISGUSTING... the amount of poo, the smell of pee EVERYWHERE, impossibly high prices, the second worst on the continent, how is any if that great?
I was one of those homeless people. Shit is so hard, and being homeless in NYC is stigmatized heavily, with architecture actually being built that's got spikes and stuff so people can't sit there. Public opinion is terrible, with most people thinking you did it to yourself, or that you just gotta pull yourself up by the bootstraps while also getting little to no help. I struggled and struggled and struggled and now that I'm far enough away that I'm not in full survival mode I can really reflect on how fucked it is, especially with NYC establishment bringing in more and more immigrants and providing them with assets that I could never dream of receiving. Things need to change.
@@NerdyPengin first and foremost, I was always worried about getting sleep and being safe. Otherwise, I wouldn't have found a way out. That led me to finding many places that were in reality more dangerous, but were easier to sleep at because if I played it right, nobody knew I was there. I chose that option because shelters just have a lot of people who don't get help and actually have problems that need better care but they don't get that help and instead it'll be those same people that are the biggest danger in those situations. Many times I've had to negotiate my way through dangerous talks with unstable people. So honestly I'd say having a place to sleep is always the most important to me. Sleeping on trains is what I used to do but there are people literally slashing people who are unaware on trains, especially since the pandemic and the explosive growth of the homeless population that caused. There are so many factors to why homelessness is crazy in NYC I could be here for days tbh. The most important thing though? This is NYC. I didn't choose this place, I was born here. It's unfair to ask what things outside of money would help, because money controls everything here.
Anti-homeless infrastructure absolutely baffles me. Using money to make places more inaccessible to people who have nothing, instead of using that money to help them is absolutely insane. Spikes under bridges so vulnerable people can sleep out of the rain, the armrest on benches made to stop people from sleeping there. And the most insane I have heard of in New York is the covering up of subway vents, which was a source of heat for the homeless, literally second hand heat, they could let them have that. Spending money on all this should be criminal. Instead use it on helping the people you don't want to "bother" your eye. It is so unsymphatethic to think that if you drive these people away they won't be your problem.
@@tobiasagdrupdrager5583 You raise fair points but NYC is just a city that caters to rich people now and rich people definitely don't wanna see homeless people in the areas the deem to be theirs.
@@McQueenPress The lack of supportive systems in place for those going through rough times is definitely a big contributing factor. If there are systems, there are bottlenecks at varying points in that system. There are also restrictions on how much and how often you can use these systems in place as well.
This is such a sad video to watch. I was so close to being homeless myself once. That’s when you find out who your real friends are. My heart breaks for these people. 💔
You got that right. My Ex threw me in the streets and no one took me in after I would give everyone gift cards for every celebration or holiday. I have no family or friends and am still homeless. I keep my bags packed. You can't trust anyone ever.
Life is a fun, whimsical little game. Even these evil politicians are just people, no wiser than you or I, at the end of the day. Nobody needs to listen to them, or care about them and what they say, because there is no real authority figure of the land and authority figures are a made up concept. Only the guide of morality instilled in a man’s soul to know what’s right and wrong intrinsically is the real authority figure, such as god. Man has two sides and for good reason, the animal and the moral. It’s not something that makes sense from an evolutionarily point of view either. Both shouldn’t exist at the same time because it’s be easier for man to not have the knowledge and ability to commit evil for the good of society, but it allows man a conscious choice stemming from his soul instead of his mind. The only reason you listen to, or care, about these people, is because everyone is controlled completely by money and most have been raised to believe that “authority” figures are wiser and smarter than them NO MATTER WHAT, and they thereby worship these evil, misguided people as if they were god.
There was a study that showed cities attract mentally ill people and are likely to cause mental illness in their residents. It's almost like stockholm syndrome. They love their own prison. "My Dinner with Andre" is an incredible movie that explains this phenomenon in great detail.
Most of the homeless in the cities IMO are drug addicts and criminals. Of course, the shoplifters and other criminals should all be arrested. Plus they need to bring back no loitering laws.
Such a bullshit cope. The homelessness problem isn’t caused by high rents. High rents make people move to New Jersey or Floridia, not to the subway. The people living in the subway aren’t working jobs that just won’t quite cover an apartment near their work. Those people are going to be homeless no matter where they go or what the real estate market does. They’re homeless in New York because they moved there because it’s a great place to be homeless. Big subway, heating grates, lots of services, no prosecution for shoplifting. Pumping money into the problem is like saying we can get rid of stray cats by putting out enough free cat food.
"just people who can't afford to live in a home or apartment." This is where you are wrong bucko. 95% of homeless (if not more) make that their choice because they'd rather spend every waking moment getting high. People "who just fell on hard times" usually couch surf, or get it together rather quickly. They at any given time might make up less than 1% of a homeless population. The remainder of the 4-ish percent are just mentally broken crazies (usually due to drug use) and are incapable of enough rational thought to do anything at all. These latter people in times past would have been in an asylum. NO amount of enabling will fix the problem, because well, you're enabling it. It requires a crackdown of draconian measure to get the ones that could be saved off the streets. The ones that cant be saved, either you bring back the asylums or let them starve. Civilization isnt civilized, if these people are allowed to be in it.
thats not the biggest issue, although a very big issue. the biggest issue is that they keep electing people who want to put a bandaid over a wound and call it fixed. even if we gave NYC 1T$ it'd go to useless contracts that do absolutely nothing and are 50x what it should cost because its the government.
I’ll one up you. I’m a New York resident. I live upstate. And I bet most of the taxes upstaters pay are going right to NYC instead of helping/improving the upstate area!
Being homeless in Texas Once over heard a conversation between a homeless helper talking to a new trainee. The Trainee felt so bad that she had to turn a family away by telling them they had no options for them at this time other than a warm meal, some A/C, and a place to charge their devices B4 the placed closed at 3pm... The Trainer told her she understands how she could feel so badly but told her just think if we were able to house and help them all then we would be out of a job and probably in their shoes so don't feel so down... This makes me wonder how many of the homeless are being rejected just to keep others with a paycheck and stability...
It's the Democrat way. Democrats have been running NYC for over 20 years (mayor & Gov). The ONLY reason NY has Hochul is because of NYC. The city needs to change their voting habits NOW.

@Deppenradar Who can say since we don't know exactly who anyone is. There are a lot of people ditching their I.D. at the border because it is better to pretend you don't have I.D and so on. We can't vet people. That was DeSantis' issue with the FEDS initially, was that they could/would not tell him anything about the people that they were flying in to Florida and dropping off, expecting us to deal with them. So he shipped them to Martha's Vineyard, problem solved. People criticized DeSantis for doing it and also in Texas, but it was what it took to take the situation from a conspiracy theory that racists think is true to a problem that New York City has to deal with. Enjoy.
@@strategicfooyouagencyfirst8197 Nothing is free. Especially housing. If they want to start a normal life, they need to start packing up and leave.

Staying in one place is not going to get you anywhere.

The people who "work" on homelessness make 100s of thousands a year. If they fix the homeless problem then these people are out of a job so it can never be fixed. No matter how much money they throw at the problem. This is why the non profits that the city hire make 400 thousand or more per year.

“If the American people ever allow private banks to control the issue of their money, first by inflation and then by deflation, the banks and corporations that will grow up around them (around the banks), will deprive the people of their property until their children will wake up homeless on the continent their fathers conquered.”-Thomas Jefferson

That’s attorney general Bragg, the idiot that allows criminals to loot, steal and throw people in train tracks… but started a case against president Trump on a misdemeanor.
The homeless and the shoplifter are one and the same, the majority of the time. So if they can't be arrested for shoplifting then arrest them for being homeless. One way or another force them into housing (jail) and drug treatment (jail). Getting those people off the streets will then make it easier for the honest homeless to get services to help them get off the streets.

I was watching veteran biker he had a x border agent and he is doing a documentary but he was in Chicago talking to a homeless man asking him how he felt and he explained that during winter he was freezing and went to the park to get warm on the bus and they said only for migrants and migrants were keeping warm and eating hot meals
Honestly, it might not be bad. If they put these homeless in a level 1 security prison, they'd have access to internet, books and all sorts of things that they would not have on the streets. They'd have a roof over their heads and the ones who have addictions would be forced to be clean since you can't have drugs in prisons. It's a win/win if you look past the fact that they're getting locked up against their will. Honestly would you really argue with being in a jail cell with a bed and a toilet or out in the streets in the cold with nothing?
Now we're getting somewhere ! FYI drugs are readily available in prison too. I agree with moving them to a secure place with sanitation and security. These people will always require help to meet their needs. A cardboard box isn't cutting it.
every time I think NYers cant find a worse mayor than one they got, they prove me wrong. This joker is the worse so far. I bet he was a horrible cop too.
Gavin Newsom did the same thing to the homeless Californians. 24 billion tax payer dollars were found unaccounted for! 24 billion! Oops looks like I misplaced 24 billion dollars. 🤷♂️ these people belong in prison.
By this point, Eric Adams (D) KNOWS he's a single term mayor. As a Democrat, Adams put illegal migrants over blacks, Latinos, the working class, and the poor. So at this point it doesn't matter how bad Adams fucks up - he's done.
"Helping" people be homeless is called 'enabling'. The word you should have used is "punish", which apparently, they are finally trying. You dont enable bad behavior, or you get more of it. You punish bad behavior, so it stops.

in the tiny country of Switzerland I know a socialist party mayor, a woman who left her post after federal gov forced her city to pay....60'000$ a MONTH for an illegal family with 3 children they had a luxury flat at 2k/month private school for all children + parents a paid car, lease at 1500/month car insurance public transport max health insurance which is unpayable unless you're a surgeon or banker for that family probably in the 4000/month she not only quit but left the socialist party and went the equivalent of republicans with Trump pretty much LOL I didn't read it in the papers but from the person who welcomed her in her new party ahahaha

It's exactly the same in NewZealand and Australia. I'm nearly 60 yr old, female and became homeless mid March. I'm now renting a old caravan in a overfull camping ground. If you want to go to a camping ground for school holidays etc...you won't be able too as they are all full of homeless. Rents are around $3000 month NZ ..that about $6000 month USA dollars. For a one bedroom. That's the cheapest available here.
Why would any sane person pay $6000 for a tiny substandard apartment in NYC when there are lots of other cities in the USA. No, there is no paradise, but NYC is absolute hell!
$6K/m is approximately the monthly payment on a $1M mortgage over 30 years at current interest paying principle and interest. The real question is, if you can afford $6K rent, why are you renting at all?
1. Cut funding to migrants immediately. 2. Distribute funding back to track, arrest and depot immediately. 3. Make homeless shelters only to Americans. 4. Fund back homeless and training agencies that trains for GEDS, outreach services to get people back into jobs. 5. Get rid of all incompetent politicians and all corrupt stealers. 6. Punish all theft to community service to pay back the city while serving jail time. Not in any particular order, preferable all together.
When you donate to any organization that prétends to help the homeless, most of the funds are skimmed off and go into someones pockets, its an old scam.
Someone must have gotten an assload of money to bring them in and will get another assload to unload them. It's all about the money. They should have never been allowed to destroy the best city in the world. We needed another Rudy to be in charge.
Same thing happening in Canada's major cities as well as up and coming developing areas, prices rise to the max for the locals (houseing costs etc),and pushing others to homelessness.
Humans are very smart and can solve any problems; if the problem isn't being fixed it's because people are profiting from the problems remaining. FOLLOW THE MONEY.

Homelessness and drug addiction is through the roof. Just yesterday, I was standing across Radio City Hall and there were many homeless folks, sitting on the few stone benches in the area, one of them peeing in the open while there are children and families also visiting the area. Walk by the theaters on Broadway and without fail, there will be at least one homeless completely unresponsive, just standing there like a zombie, probably completely loaded on Fentanyl. It’s just sad and depressing to see these folks who need help and meanwhile corruption runs rampant in this city.
Yes, many subway tracks are OOS and it is an encampment that rivals Las Vegas's tunnels. It's actually warm in the tunnels during the winter.. Been down there many times doing things.
America would have to build medical facilities that house drug addicts & hold them while they receive long term care, probably against their will, and it would have to be paid for. No one in America is willing to do this. But it would finally help drug addicts, & the homeless drug addicts. It would lessen crime around the homeless areas, where the crimes are committed to pay for their addiction & to live each day. It would clean up the neighborhoods, make it safer, & less stores would close from theft. It would lessen money for drug cartels that sell, & provide drugs to these areas as well. In other words start to put them out of business, one drug addict/ homeless person at a time. Now try selling that idea to the American tax payer?!
NYC is going backwards. I remember seeing homeless folks sleeping in the subway or trains growing up. We cleaned up well but now….. two steps forward and ten steps back!
Maybe if we weren’t allocating millions upon millions for illegal migrants who haven’t paid any taxes, we could do a better job with the homeless problem, with whom many have worked before.
It is a political business Bro ( politicians get rich scheme ) ... just look at California .. they allocated 28 billion for homeless housing .. only built 1K houses .. the remainder of the money just disappeared ...
Just make it unrestricted to build more homes. Wanna bet that with the money they spent on the homeless already they could've just built enough homes for all of them instead? But no, there is endless lobbying to prevent more homes from being built by anyone as to keep rent prices up.
Don't be so sure of that. The dems make money off the problems. In Calif they have spent over 30 billion on the homeless and it's no better. They are like the worst charity. 95% to "administration" fees and little to the problem. They could have bought homes for every homeless person by now.
I had to be in a shelter for 18 months ...it was horrible. Filthy, dangerous, staff treated clients poorly .. I have so many stories. I'll be on the streets before I go back to a NYC shelter.
It amazes me how many people are just now seeing the corruption that has been going on for decades. Those of us who have always seen it were called crazy.
I've lost friends, family, and been treated like trash for years by my fellows/common man for just talking about the corruption in this country. Please wake up America... They're trying to tear us all apart & break everything down so they can "rebuild" society how THEY want it to be. The founding fathers dream is loooong dead, the American government is being run by tyrants and evil, wicked people.
The reality is that all the money and shelters and social programs are basically wasted, most of these people can't be fixed and, more important, many of them don't even want help.
Exactly. Most people who got themselves into a homeless position are there because they refused all other options. These are people who have given up on themselves and society as a whole. Spend resources helping them, only for them to relapse. It's a never ending cycle that isn't designed to help anyone. It's just another money laundering scheme, like cancer research, climate change and Nasa.
Exactly. Some people are failures through & through, and will never amount to anything more than the rock-bottom they decidedly settle for... The *big* issue here though with these chronic losers is they are lumped into "homeless" with other vets & good people just down on their luck. They alone deserve the least sympathy... but the rest of their homeless cohorts might be someone who really deserves/needs some help
Headed back to the shelter in highbridge now because of circumstances, and I've never been more terrified to go back. It's sad to say it's safer in the streets than in a place where staff is there for entertainment and a paycheck
How can new buildings be built in a city so overcrowded? Where is the space? The reality is that not everyone can live in NYC. Can’t keep building, unless buildings are built like the ones in China that look like hives. Depressing and dystopian. NYC is overcrowded already. Over a million for a 650 sq. ft. apartment? Unbelievable.
I promise you everyone does not want to. The only reason the homeless are there is because so many people are there and it provides a lot of crumbs for them to be able to collect; lots of people in relatively small area to panhandle; lots of trash to sort through.... If they live someplace less populated it vastly reduces the cast off and some of their resources.
Many places are "built out," and happens is that an existing decrepit 3-story building is demolished, and replaced with a 6-story building of expensive condos. Same footprint, but far more housing units.
@@johngrasso1483 they can’t move because now the state and the city has an exit tax that most people can’t afford… along with a years worth of income tax to New York State and New York City if they leave while also simultaneously need to pay partial income tax at their new state wherever they end up… no one can afford that. so they are stuck
Love that you’re empathetic to the homeless while acknowledging the issue. None of these programs work hard enough to rehab people so it just gives temporary food and shelter but no real way out. I get sick of it sometimes because mental illness often leads alot of these people to make public bowel movements and it’s hard to tell a harmless manic episode from a dangerous one with more psychotic individuals. At the end of the day though, for the mentally ill it ain’t their fault and without actually trying to help medicate, rehabilitate, and reintegrate these people it’s a shit sandwich we kinda all just gotta swallow. The most frustrating thing is at the very least we could try to prevent homelessness to stop the problem increasing but that’s not happening either and is just getting worse which increases the amount of work it takes to rehab the homeless due to not only the number increasing but also due to the fact that being in a high stress environment like that can lead to mental illness developing in previously stable individuals so if they don’t get help quick what could’ve been an easy fix of putting them in a job and safe housing turns into needing mental healthcare as well to rehab. So frustrating.
67 MILLION AMERICANS ARE HOMELESS LIVING IN THEIR CARS DESPITE WORKING 2 OR 3 JOBS. The average rent is 3000 a month, the average person makes 800 a month. 1 in 6 Americans are homeless It is a fact
Your statistics are wrong. It's more like 1 in 500. But yes with runaway rents and housing prices and a country with a poor excuse for any social safety net it will get worse.
Wow that is a huge lie. They were around 650,000 homeless people reported in America at the beginning of 2023. That is 1 in 500 according to HUD. Why do people just make stuff up?

@@trolltyrant8344 I am very pro-capitalism and free market but even I recognize that the situation is getting out of controll, and not just in the US. Honestly, corporations should not be allowed to buy apartments / houses for investment purposes. I would also heavily tax any vacant living spaces so that owners are incentivized to rent them out. Something has to be done.
@@trolltyrant8344You do know that New York has the highest population loss of any state, right?
And more are coming!!!
I can assure you. I worked for an agency for over 8 years as a case manager, and doing outreach. It is VERY much a lucrative operation. It is a business.There is NO incentive to reduce the number of homeless people, only an incentive to increase that population. These agencies hide behind a veil of benevolence and virtue, while at the same time raking in hundreds of thousands of dollars from the government, healthcare entities, taxpayers, and wealthy people who have no clue.
This is what they've done to poor cities my whole life. They allocate funds extracted from tax payers to reduce crime but actually steal the money. Rinse and repeat.
Yes your right about that and many people who work the frontlines begin to just want their pay check and not care about the corruption behind it all. Others try to change things and usually get fired or pushed to the point of quiting.
I really think you should write a book about this and I am sure all the homeless will hail you as their hero and not just them the American people!
Same as the penial system. They make more money the more people they incarcerate.
They definitely oil some hands well to stay in business.

The government doesn't have a real solution for homelessness. They actually want it. It's business.
The government would be homeless if they actually fixed the problem
I comprehend your analogy. However, the government will never be homeless. Systemic practices for the most part have caused homelessness. Corporations are the government partners and the government allows greedy corporations to unfairly astronomically increase the price.
Next comes the round ups to send all homeless who owe fines to a "government camp". Everyone forgot all about those fema camps during Obama.

Negatives about living in NYC
-absurdly high rent.
-rampant crime.
-incompetent leadership.
-increasing homelessness problem.
-lack of safe transportation options.
Benefits of living in NYC
- None
If I missed any negatives or positives of living In NYC please reply.
Snow....😂
Benefits: Many good people are here, places to go and things to do for free, and entertainment and some good food. Free transportation during certain parts of the year and in regard to taking transportation, after certain times the buses can drop you off closer to your stop if you tell the driver. The libraries are free, and you can apply for free IDs as well in some. Lots of schools and colleges, lots of churches {houses of worship), if that is your thing, outdoor festivals in every borough, parks and park activities like learning to golf or play tennis for kids, swimming, camp for the kids, the zoo in the Bronx and the Aquarium in Coney Island, both have free days. All the museums in NYC and other exhibits. The bars and restaurants, cafes and bingo and bowling, and arcades and archery, axe throwing. All the parades throughout the city throughout the year. So many events in so many places, you can learn to grow vegetables in a neighborhood garden. If you need more I can put more here.

Poor mental health.
apparently if you don't live in NYC you miss out on hanging out with rich snobby people and endless Italian restaurants.
Lower rents so people can actually pay and not be homeless , the rent in. NYC is ridiculously expensive. So shameful
Solution: rent control for a duration of time.😉
$6,000 for one bedroom...WOW! I live in Iowa in a huge house, big yard, and a great view of the countryside for $1,600. You can have New York!
You can do the same thing upstate New York, NYC is crazy with rent, but this will all collapse anyway. Homeownership with land is the way to go and there is land upstate. I don't know much about Iowa, but it might seem to be a very nice place to live.
There are pros and cons everywhere, but I do believe what is going on here does have an effect subtly nationwide, it is just a matter of time before we see the results of all these people coming into the country and all the drug abuse driven into more rural areas. Overall, it's a shame and shouldn't be ignored.
GREED
You better stop telling people that or everybody will start moving there and your rent will become double
News flash....Iowa is nice, but Iowa is not New York City.
@jimmyday9536 what part of New York is "nice??" I'm sorry, but as a tourist, that city is DISGUSTING... the amount of poo, the smell of pee EVERYWHERE, impossibly high prices, the second worst on the continent, how is any if that great?
I was one of those homeless people. Shit is so hard, and being homeless in NYC is stigmatized heavily, with architecture actually being built that's got spikes and stuff so people can't sit there. Public opinion is terrible, with most people thinking you did it to yourself, or that you just gotta pull yourself up by the bootstraps while also getting little to no help. I struggled and struggled and struggled and now that I'm far enough away that I'm not in full survival mode I can really reflect on how fucked it is, especially with NYC establishment bringing in more and more immigrants and providing them with assets that I could never dream of receiving. Things need to change.
What is one thing outside of money that would have helped you the most? Feel free to list other things too, I'm just genuinely curious.
@@NerdyPengin first and foremost, I was always worried about getting sleep and being safe. Otherwise, I wouldn't have found a way out. That led me to finding many places that were in reality more dangerous, but were easier to sleep at because if I played it right, nobody knew I was there. I chose that option because shelters just have a lot of people who don't get help and actually have problems that need better care but they don't get that help and instead it'll be those same people that are the biggest danger in those situations. Many times I've had to negotiate my way through dangerous talks with unstable people. So honestly I'd say having a place to sleep is always the most important to me. Sleeping on trains is what I used to do but there are people literally slashing people who are unaware on trains, especially since the pandemic and the explosive growth of the homeless population that caused. There are so many factors to why homelessness is crazy in NYC I could be here for days tbh. The most important thing though? This is NYC. I didn't choose this place, I was born here. It's unfair to ask what things outside of money would help, because money controls everything here.
Anti-homeless infrastructure absolutely baffles me. Using money to make places more inaccessible to people who have nothing, instead of using that money to help them is absolutely insane. Spikes under bridges so vulnerable people can sleep out of the rain, the armrest on benches made to stop people from sleeping there. And the most insane I have heard of in New York is the covering up of subway vents, which was a source of heat for the homeless, literally second hand heat, they could let them have that. Spending money on all this should be criminal. Instead use it on helping the people you don't want to "bother" your eye. It is so unsymphatethic to think that if you drive these people away they won't be your problem.
@@tobiasagdrupdrager5583 You raise fair points but NYC is just a city that caters to rich people now and rich people definitely don't wanna see homeless people in the areas the deem to be theirs.
@@McQueenPress The lack of supportive systems in place for those going through rough times is definitely a big contributing factor. If there are systems, there are bottlenecks at varying points in that system. There are also restrictions on how much and how often you can use these systems in place as well.

That's because they are the looters employers...

This is such a sad video to watch. I was so close to being homeless myself once. That’s when you find out who your real friends are. My heart breaks for these people. 💔

You got that right. My Ex threw me in the streets and no one took me in after I would give everyone gift cards for every celebration or holiday. I have no family or friends and am still homeless. I keep my bags packed. You can't trust anyone ever.
Most people are only 2 paychecks from homelessness.
Life is a fun, whimsical little game. Even these evil politicians are just people, no wiser than you or I, at the end of the day. Nobody needs to listen to them, or care about them and what they say, because there is no real authority figure of the land and authority figures are a made up concept. Only the guide of morality instilled in a man’s soul to know what’s right and wrong intrinsically is the real authority figure, such as god. Man has two sides and for good reason, the animal and the moral. It’s not something that makes sense from an evolutionarily point of view either. Both shouldn’t exist at the same time because it’s be easier for man to not have the knowledge and ability to commit evil for the good of society, but it allows man a conscious choice stemming from his soul instead of his mind. The only reason you listen to, or care, about these people, is because everyone is controlled completely by money and most have been raised to believe that “authority” figures are wiser and smarter than them NO MATTER WHAT, and they thereby worship these evil, misguided people as if they were god.
Thank you but they wanna cry drugs or mental illness. Some of the snakes in your life be the people closest to you. I’m a DV survivor myself.

It boggles my mind that most people in the country live in cities. Theyre universally shitty.
There was a study that showed cities attract mentally ill people and are likely to cause mental illness in their residents. It's almost like stockholm syndrome. They love their own prison.
"My Dinner with Andre" is an incredible movie that explains this phenomenon in great detail.
Don't arrest shoplifters, but arrest homeless who are just people who can't afford to live in a home or apartment. Riiiiiiight.
Most of the homeless in the cities IMO are drug addicts and criminals. Of course, the shoplifters and other criminals should all be arrested. Plus they need to bring back no loitering laws.
Home many homeless are illegal aliens???
what a ridiculous shitty city!
Such a bullshit cope. The homelessness problem isn’t caused by high rents. High rents make people move to New Jersey or Floridia, not to the subway. The people living in the subway aren’t working jobs that just won’t quite cover an apartment near their work. Those people are going to be homeless no matter where they go or what the real estate market does. They’re homeless in New York because they moved there because it’s a great place to be homeless. Big subway, heating grates, lots of services, no prosecution for shoplifting. Pumping money into the problem is like saying we can get rid of stray cats by putting out enough free cat food.
"just people who can't afford to live in a home or apartment."
This is where you are wrong bucko. 95% of homeless (if not more) make that their choice because they'd rather spend every waking moment getting high.
People "who just fell on hard times" usually couch surf, or get it together rather quickly. They at any given time might make up less than 1% of a homeless population. The remainder of the 4-ish percent are just mentally broken crazies (usually due to drug use) and are incapable of enough rational thought to do anything at all. These latter people in times past would have been in an asylum.
NO amount of enabling will fix the problem, because well, you're enabling it. It requires a crackdown of draconian measure to get the ones that could be saved off the streets. The ones that cant be saved, either you bring back the asylums or let them starve. Civilization isnt civilized, if these people are allowed to be in it.
Stop Sending Our Tax Money to Other Countries. OMG 😢😢

Being homeless in Texas Once over heard a conversation between a homeless helper talking to a new trainee. The Trainee felt so bad that she had to turn a family away by telling them they had no options for them at this time other than a warm meal, some A/C, and a place to charge their devices B4 the placed closed at 3pm... The Trainer told her she understands how she could feel so badly but told her just think if we were able to house and help them all then we would be out of a job and probably in their shoes so don't feel so down... This makes me wonder how many of the homeless are being rejected just to keep others with a paycheck and stability...

We can't vet people. That was DeSantis' issue with the FEDS initially, was that they could/would not tell him anything about the people that they were flying in to Florida and dropping off, expecting us to deal with them. So he shipped them to Martha's Vineyard, problem solved. People criticized DeSantis for doing it and also in Texas, but it was what it took to take the situation from a conspiracy theory that racists think is true to a problem that New York City has to deal with. Enjoy.

@@strategicfooyouagencyfirst8197 Nothing is free. Especially housing. If they want to start a normal life, they need to start packing up and leave.

The people who "work" on homelessness make 100s of thousands a year. If they fix the homeless problem then these people are out of a job so it can never be fixed. No matter how much money they throw at the problem. This is why the non profits that the city hire make 400 thousand or more per year.

It's crazy how homeless can get locked up for being homeless and while people stealing under $1,000 bucks and less go free.
That’s attorney general Bragg, the idiot that allows criminals to loot, steal and throw people in train tracks… but started a case against president Trump on a misdemeanor.
Petit larceny has always been a misdemeanor, the law that changed was not being able to hold people due to bail reform
The homeless and the shoplifter are one and the same, the majority of the time.
So if they can't be arrested for shoplifting then arrest them for being homeless.
One way or another force them into housing (jail) and drug treatment (jail).
Getting those people off the streets will then make it easier for the honest homeless to get services to help them get off the streets.

Honestly, it might not be bad. If they put these homeless in a level 1 security prison, they'd have access to internet, books and all sorts of things that they would not have on the streets. They'd have a roof over their heads and the ones who have addictions would be forced to be clean since you can't have drugs in prisons.

Honestly would you really argue with being in a jail cell with a bed and a toilet or out in the streets in the cold with nothing?

Send them to the Actual Demoncrsts homes where they actually live not where they they are just floating in and out with no regard to any issues other than they are elected then re/elected every time as the voting us a fraud

Btw, just like NY filtered illegal invaders for 6 years through Roxham road, who are now given a home or 5star hotels, food, clothing, full medical, denta, eye care and $221/day!
I make half that and of that the gov takes 30% off the top for taxes!
Yep and millions of the FEMA money was spent on them. Just wait till they run out of money for the climate disasters. And there are and will be many this year.
Why should New York handle the burden alone? They're human beings who said they wanted to go to Canada. We pointed north. Apparently that's Roxham Road 🤷🏽♂️
in the tiny country of Switzerland I know a socialist party mayor, a woman who left her post after federal gov forced her city to pay....60'000$ a MONTH for an illegal family with 3 children they had a luxury flat at 2k/month private school for all children + parents a paid car, lease at 1500/month car insurance public transport max health insurance which is unpayable unless you're a surgeon or banker for that family probably in the 4000/month she not only quit but left the socialist party and went the equivalent of republicans with Trump pretty much LOL I didn't read it in the papers but from the person who welcomed her in her new party ahahaha

Send them to BIDENS house in Delaware. They can live on the beach. Waterfront tent living.
It's exactly the same in NewZealand and Australia. I'm nearly 60 yr old, female and became homeless mid March. I'm now renting a old caravan in a overfull camping ground. If you want to go to a camping ground for school holidays etc...you won't be able too as they are all full of homeless. Rents are around $3000 month NZ ..that about $6000 month USA dollars. For a one bedroom. That's the cheapest available here.
This is disgraceful in a country that rolls out the carpet for other, but neglects its citizens. Shame on all these politicians/sales people.
Why would any sane person pay $6000 for a tiny substandard apartment in NYC when there are lots of other cities in the USA. No, there is no paradise, but NYC is absolute hell!
Don’t come here with your screw up voteing
Their stupid that why they vote democrats
$6K/m is approximately the monthly payment on a $1M mortgage over 30 years at current interest paying principle and interest. The real question is, if you can afford $6K rent, why are you renting at all?
Guaranteed if you are paying 6K in Manhattan it's not a tiny substandard apartment. You obviously are clueless.

1. Cut funding to migrants immediately.
2. Distribute funding back to track, arrest and depot immediately.
3. Make homeless shelters only to Americans.
4. Fund back homeless and training agencies that trains for GEDS, outreach services to get people back into jobs.
5. Get rid of all incompetent politicians and all corrupt stealers.
6. Punish all theft to community service to pay back the city while serving jail time.
Not in any particular order, preferable all together.
Do you mean immigrants ?
0. Reduce income tax

This is why I don't donate to homeless shelters, I donate to the people that need help while looking them in the eye.
When you donate to any organization that prétends to help the homeless, most of the funds are skimmed off and go into someones pockets, its an old scam.
Ahh, yes, the ole reward bad behavior tactic. How well has that worked out for you?

That’s why I don’t donate to either. Quit feeding them and they will go away.
@@dontbestupid6664 Yeah they will go away and build a tent in front of your house or to jail increasing your taxes.

It's not conspiracy - it's stupidity.
Same thing happening in Canada's major cities as well as up and coming developing areas, prices rise to the max for the locals (houseing costs etc),and pushing others to homelessness.

This country doesn’t care about anyone
we cared too much and normal people are fed up. time to be selfish
Yes it does. The current administration cares very much about illegal immigrants and their illegal votes.
The country does care, just not about normal people who can’t afford lobbying firms or huge campaign contributions. Even the SCOTUS is openly on the take.

Stop it. America is wonderful. Theres always going to be small pockets of homeless, crime and corruption when dealing with 333Million people. new york is know for being dirty and grimey. Watch gangs of new york when the irish arrived. It was awful conditions
California receives at least $47,000 per Homeless Person per adding up into the multi-Billions of American Tax Dollars.
The Homeless do Not receive $47,000 per year, so Who does? Plus, does everyone "think" it will be fixed?

Housing market manipulation
In order to even QUALIFY for that a person has to make 40x that amount annually, so $240K a year for a 1 bedroom apartment.
Pure greed
They don't allow overnight parking basically anywhere
These developers are out of their freakin minds. It’s as if they somehow think the wealthy demographic is far outpacing lower income families. And so they are trying to price these apartments accordingly. But they are only going to end up losing a lot of money in the end once reality hits! 🤦🏻♂️

The next Detroit. Except Detroit didn't deserve it and New York does.
Homelessness and drug addiction is through the roof. Just yesterday, I was standing across Radio City Hall and there were many homeless folks, sitting on the few stone benches in the area, one of them peeing in the open while there are children and families also visiting the area. Walk by the theaters on Broadway and without fail, there will be at least one homeless completely unresponsive, just standing there like a zombie, probably completely loaded on Fentanyl. It’s just sad and depressing to see these folks who need help and meanwhile corruption runs rampant in this city.
Is there help for the money addiction of the greed stricken gentrifiers?
This is nothing new in NYC. Thousnds of homeless having been living underground in NYC for decades!
Yup
Yes, many subway tracks are OOS and it is an encampment that rivals Las Vegas's tunnels. It's actually warm in the tunnels during the winter.. Been down there many times doing things.
@@krisone63 Been down there many times doing homeless people for cheap 😂
But why should Americans live in these tunnels while illegals live free in luxury hotels?
But now it's thousands of other countries' homeless
SO what is homeowner taxes annually?.what is the percentage?
How can any city "crack down" on homelessness when (1) the economy makes everything unaffordable and (2) they have nowhere to go?
America would have to build medical facilities that house drug addicts & hold them while they receive long term care, probably against their will, and it would have to be paid for. No one in America is willing to do this. But it would finally help drug addicts, & the homeless drug addicts. It would lessen crime around the homeless areas, where the crimes are committed to pay for their addiction & to live each day. It would clean up the neighborhoods, make it safer, & less stores would close from theft. It would lessen money for drug cartels that sell, & provide drugs to these areas as well. In other words start to put them out of business, one drug addict/ homeless person at a time. Now try selling that idea to the American tax payer?!
And (3) Millions of people are crossing the border.
Doom loop.
Keep asking questions, you're nearly at the answer.
Here's a clue: Order from Chaos.
Prop 13 in the 80s had a huge effect on this.@Chicharrera.
NYC is going backwards. I remember seeing homeless folks sleeping in the subway or trains growing up. We cleaned up well but now….. two steps forward and ten steps back!
Who was the Mayor when NYC cleaned up well? What was the plan of action? Thanks

Same shit here in L.A.
Yeah Rudy did that, you can thank him.

NYC is becoming a dystopian nightmare
It’s happening everywhere. It breaks my heart.
Shame on the government!!!!!
Maybe if we weren’t allocating millions upon millions for illegal migrants who haven’t paid any taxes, we could do a better job with the homeless problem, with whom many have worked before.
Don't kid yourself, the people who run the place wouldn't help fix homelessness even if they had the resources
@@krandlezAgree and I like your name. 😃
It is a political business Bro ( politicians get rich scheme ) ... just look at California .. they allocated 28 billion for homeless housing .. only built 1K houses .. the remainder of the money just disappeared ...
Just make it unrestricted to build more homes.
Wanna bet that with the money they spent on the homeless already they could've just built enough homes for all of them instead?
But no, there is endless lobbying to prevent more homes from being built by anyone as to keep rent prices up.
Don't be so sure of that. The dems make money off the problems. In Calif they have spent over 30 billion on the homeless and it's no better. They are like the worst charity. 95% to "administration" fees and little to the problem. They could have bought homes for every homeless person by now.
I had to be in a shelter for 18 months ...it was horrible. Filthy, dangerous, staff treated clients poorly .. I have so many stories. I'll be on the streets before I go back to a NYC shelter.
This mayor belongs in jail
And be cited and released?

That's not what those who voted him in think. Good luck with that, NYC. 🤣

It amazes me how many people are just now seeing the corruption that has been going on for decades. Those of us who have always seen it were called crazy.
For real people putting the blame here and there but this had been in the making since Nixon.
💯- facts 😮
I've lost friends, family, and been treated like trash for years by my fellows/common man for just talking about the corruption in this country.
Please wake up America... They're trying to tear us all apart & break everything down so they can "rebuild" society how THEY want it to be. The founding fathers dream is loooong dead, the American government is being run by tyrants and evil, wicked people.
I can see a lot of work went into this video and not just in the studio. Well done. Most informative.
The reality is that all the money and shelters and social programs are basically wasted, most of these people can't be fixed and, more important, many of them don't even want help.
Exactly. Most people who got themselves into a homeless position are there because they refused all other options. These are people who have given up on themselves and society as a whole. Spend resources helping them, only for them to relapse. It's a never ending cycle that isn't designed to help anyone. It's just another money laundering scheme, like cancer research, climate change and Nasa.
So you think they should all be left roaming the streets then?
how else will they pay the managers of those programs high six figure salaries
They need forced help to get off drugs.
Exactly. Some people are failures through & through, and will never amount to anything more than the rock-bottom they decidedly settle for...
The *big* issue here though with these chronic losers is they are lumped into "homeless" with other vets & good people just down on their luck.
They alone deserve the least sympathy... but the rest of their homeless cohorts might be someone who really deserves/needs some help
Cash Jordan thank you for the info 👍

The public no longer trusts the judiciary.

Headed back to the shelter in highbridge now because of circumstances, and I've never been more terrified to go back. It's sad to say it's safer in the streets than in a place where staff is there for entertainment and a paycheck

If the city does not protect businesses, it is done. If the priority is to spend, and not to protect income for the city, doom is the result.
How can new buildings be built in a city so overcrowded? Where is the space?
The reality is that not everyone can live in NYC.
Can’t keep building, unless buildings are built like the ones in China that look like hives.
Depressing and dystopian.
NYC is overcrowded already.
Over a million for a 650 sq. ft. apartment? Unbelievable.
I agree with you and the other point is , the sewer system is ancient it would't work...
I promise you everyone does not want to. The only reason the homeless are there is because so many people are there and it provides a lot of crumbs for them to be able to collect; lots of people in relatively small area to panhandle; lots of trash to sort through.... If they live someplace less populated it vastly reduces the cast off and some of their resources.
Luckily with apartments that expensive, rich people can buy 50 of them and use it as investment. That always help prices and homeless people.
let's disregard all the vacant apartments unavailable for rent though 😃
Many places are "built out," and happens is that an existing decrepit 3-story building is demolished, and replaced with a 6-story building of expensive condos. Same footprint, but far more housing units.
Underhanded kick back from people and companies that are misappropriating funds
Sickeningly inhumane to see people rip away what little they have and throw it away.

@@johngrasso1483 they can’t move because now the state and the city has an exit tax that most people can’t afford… along with a years worth of income tax to New York State and New York City if they leave while also simultaneously need to pay partial income tax at their new state wherever they end up… no one can afford that.
so they are stuck
Love that you’re empathetic to the homeless while acknowledging the issue.
None of these programs work hard enough to rehab people so it just gives temporary food and shelter but no real way out. I get sick of it sometimes because mental illness often leads alot of these people to make public bowel movements and it’s hard to tell a harmless manic episode from a dangerous one with more psychotic individuals.
At the end of the day though, for the mentally ill it ain’t their fault and without actually trying to help medicate, rehabilitate, and reintegrate these people it’s a shit sandwich we kinda all just gotta swallow.
The most frustrating thing is at the very least we could try to prevent homelessness to stop the problem increasing but that’s not happening either and is just getting worse which increases the amount of work it takes to rehab the homeless due to not only the number increasing but also due to the fact that being in a high stress environment like that can lead to mental illness developing in previously stable individuals so if they don’t get help quick what could’ve been an easy fix of putting them in a job and safe housing turns into needing mental healthcare as well to rehab.
So frustrating.
