Originally posted by GhostofDempsey View PostMy thoughts are to create homeless camps in the middle of nowhere, away from the cities and suburbs. Temporary housing in a tent city with toilets, showers, and helping them get off drugs and eventually help with job placement. During their stay they do something productive--work the farms, pick up trash, maybe create organic farms that fund themselves. You won't reach them all, but even if you can help half of them, it's a start.
I know there are state and city funded programs to house homeless families in hotels, which costs billions of dollars each year. There has to be a better way to house, feed and clothe them while getting them off the government teet and back on their feet. Problem is, many of them don't want to get their shyt together. As you said, there are a lot of ex-cons and insane people roaming the streets that are likely beyond rehabilitation or help.
Maybe re-open mental institutions that are better regulated?
But yeah man, I am not for sending the homeless to motels using tax money. Hell I am not in favor of even housing them unless its for treatment. The USA as a whole has some of the fattest homeless people in the world. We've become a country of enablers vs. opportunist.

You'll notice this crap isn't happening in the neighborhoods where the lifer politicians who tell the homeless they are welcome live.
I'd love it if the homeless tent city re-opened on the grounds of the Governor's mansion.

Mayor brown had a competition to design a netter homeless cart. I had an awesome design with a fold out so homeless people could sleep, a compartment for a dog, mini soar panels and a Mimi electric heater for winter and a cooling fan for summer. It had bigger wheels that could lock in place.
It was awesome.
Bro, there was this homeless cat I saw around where I'm at in Vegas who had the hookup. He had what looked like a 2 fridge box condo going on. Had a big ass blanket cover the whole thing. Had some lil sun roof thing going on at the top cuz I seen him poking his head out once. A nice lil driveway setup for his cart. Dude was balling out for a homeless cat.
When the last homeless person got shot a couple weeks back the cops musta came & made him leave doe cuz he's been gone since then. He had that setup for a couple months in a nice lil area & no one f#cked with him.
Lifestyles of the cracked out & mentally ill.
