How do you help someone who don't want help? There are MANY people who like that they have no responsibility, bills, or anything else tying them down. They live the ability to travel and see the country. You're assuming that these are victims because you don't approve of their life style. As someone who has been homeless. Trust me tossing money at this issue will fix nothing. Because there are millions of people who don't want a home.

Being a veteran myself (along with my son and grandfather), why should WE get taken care of but people who DIDN'T serve not get taken care? We're all humans. There are shitty veterans, good veterans, shitty homeless veterans, and good homeless veterans. ALL veterans get lifetime benefits. The VAST majority of homeless veterans could get a permanent and total unemployability rating and receive $4,000+ PER MONTH, TAX FREE, that includes free public transportation, discounts, and in some states pay no property taxes, and more but they refuse to go through with VA evaluation because most homeless "veterans" are either dishonorably discharged and ineligible for benefits or they have a mental illness and are not wanting help. We need to treat everyone equally and stop putting certain groups on pedestals.

The most infuriating aspect is that these things cost more than a normal vent covers / benches. The same applies to all the other so-called "hostile architecture" installments. So, not only are the people who install them refusing to help the poor, they actually pay money to make their life even more miserable. Therefore, i refer to those things not as "hostile architecture" but as "sadistic architecture".

If I may shed a light on the perspective of the western "elites" which I have some personal "education" of their views on - they genuinely have no desire to ever fix the homeless problem because they don't view it as a problem but as a necessary evil, they don't want them dirtying up the main city streets but they do want them in the alleys and under the bridges and so forth, mostly out of sight but always a ghost in the background. They are realists who believe there will always be those that can't function in and will suffer in any society of any construct but capitalism is the best system for raising the common standards of living for all of society - and there must be 3 classes - upper, middle and lower. Survival of the fittest means those who have the drive, work ethic and ambition for it can elevate themselves to the middle class while the lower class is always there to scare them into keeping the middle class grind going. What is great about American capitalism is that with enough drive (or ruthlessness) anyone can potentially elevate themselves all the way into the upper class, it's not a closed club with entry only for those that are chosen by the royalty but rather anyone that can figure out how to make money can have money and buy an extraordinary standard of living in the upper echelon of society. That lack of motivation from combined fear and enticing reward is IMHO the main reason no "true" communist utopia has been achieved and why all attempts have fallen into generic authoritarianism - without the fear of poverty and/or the dream of wealth there's little to motivate people to keep up the daily grind to keep society chugging and so eventually it always leads to brainwashing and the constant fear of Big Brother lurking over your shoulders ready to punish you for a bad social credit score that keeps it going. When virtually all manual labor jobs can be done by machines,, which though huge strides are being made is still a ways off, then maybe that system could exist without the people having to do the grinding and thus lack of motivation is irrelevant, but theorizing of what could be is like counting the stars or grains of sand in an hourglass. Some day I bet Star Trek will come true and a perceived "utopia" will exist but till then human reality will never be as perfect as some want to imagine it, there's a reason the realists are largely at the top of every society regardless of ideology - human nature is a hard thing to change but simply accepting it can bring great wealth and power.

Since you argue about realism, the idea that drive and ambition is what gets you up the ladder is false. Its actually opportunity, often in addition to money that does that. Money buys education, shelter, food, security and other basic necessities. Opportunity is created/seen when people have the luxury not to worry about the basics. So yes, while it is "realistic" that "we can't save 'em all", neither is spending money on yachts. So i respecty disagree that most people on top are realists.

There's no fucking way capitalism right now is as good as it gets, not when it is so young in the grand scheme of the human species. Capitalism has changed substantially, and it will continue changing, hopefully improving. Some people are crazy and think that the world they grew up in is how the world will be forever.

There are 39,000 vents in the city, many of them being unblockable already since they're hidden in fake facade buildings, I doubt it was any sort of blockage issue for the vent system. The MTA's stated reason was anti-flooding, which is why they're not flush with the sidewalk anymore, but they don't mention the hostile architecture features.

@@hotelzeta24 don't blankets trap heat? Isn't that how they work in the first place? That's how they keep us warm. They trap our body heat. Then I guess it depends on how hot the air that comes out really is and the thickness of the blanket. You could argue that the homeless would be using a very thin blanket so it'll stay hot, but then it wouldn't be thick enough to make the pain of lying on that vent any bearable, which kind of defeats the purpose of this whole thing. Maybe if it's actually decently hot and you put a decent blanket over it, it'll still feel a bit warm but I'm not sure if that's warm enough to survive winter.

Right, so they move to California, Florida, etc and it keeps these “budgets” high and all the people in charge like their pockets. 1 billion goes to LA for homeless every year and they buy them tent, cheap ones at a whole sale price and give them out, and that’s about it, the rest of the money they keep, instead of putting in place businesses or non profits that could help them and also create jobs…but what do I know, I was homeless and thankfully had family that loved me and helped me through Hard times. 🤷♂️

@@creamycream7081 Unless I'm mistaken it sounds like they're arguing over the precedent of whether or not prisons have to make adjustments for the prisoner. It may have been cheaper but then it opens up up whole bag of worms for literally every other prisoner. Plus in this instance if the prisoner was allergic to the blanket they should've brought their own one. If they had no money they could've used alternatives, like the shedts I'm assuming they had no problem with, and worked to buy one that suited him. It certainly would've been cheaper on the prisoner's side if they ponied up for a lawyer to argue the point.
