Those? You mean ALL in power

Exactly! The authorities and people in general are very tolerant of this type of 'leave no trace' homelessness.

people shouldn’t have to live like that in the wealthiest country in the world, what you went through is not a bragging point, it’s sad af

its not even about housing costs, the addicted and severely mentally ill couldnt or wont pay ten cents for housing, you do not know the situation

⁠@@nobolt7It is very much about housing costs, addicts and the mentally ill used to at least be able to afford a sh*thole studio or weekly rate place, now that’s not possible. Stop acting like you know sh*t when you clearly don’t

@@NikolaiVolkovskihave you volunteered at a shelter? Or spoken to a case worker? Get your facts straight, most unable to work and refuse free meds, rehab and housing.

Most All churches now pocket the Lions share then look for other donations to give the needy , The churches are a money laundering origination ! Every once in awhile one gets caught but the brainwashed Public forgets so soon and to easily !

Simple, PROFIT!

Time for them to help or we remove their tax exempt status.

That's right! Churches should be audited for this. Why Not ? The churches are now locked! I don't blame them.

​@@annmarieknappi completely agree.

Well...they are paying for hotels and phones and food for illegal immigrants......

If you would of watched the video, you'd of found out this was deemed a local issue, not a state or federal issue and should be handled by local officials because they know their situation better then a Federal "one size fits all" approach. What works for me shouldn't be the way you have to handle your particular and complex similar situation... .

​@@mediaterrorists8969that's a non answer

Prisons

@jacobnapkins1155 depends on who and what people vote for locally. Jail could be the best first step to straighten some people up and send them on a better path. Certainly ignoring drug abuse is not a best option which in most cases is far more inhumane and is a death sentence to 100's of thousands

They'll do anything to not build more homes the NIMBYs caused this and don't want to deal with it

@@nobolt7 thank you for your service! I didn’t see your comment until now… I wish you would run for government office or a homeless shelter(s) because you have a gift and a passion that could help many people. Please don’t give up with your ideas and reaching out into the community to serve and help others, because in due time it will produce peaceful fruit for doing right.

🐑

walk a mile in their shoes before yapping

⁠have you volunteered at a shelter. If not go today.

My thoughts exactly. Creeping authoritarianism.

Better than people shitting on the streets. Also, America has had vagrancy laws for centuries. They obviously don’t violate the 8th Amendment, since they’ve been in place since the 8th Amendment was enacted.

Loitering is illegal! Hello!

​@dorabolick9275 where do they sleep if none available

good

@@dorabolick9275 *Loitering has never been illegal.* Property owners can regulate it on their *private property* and police use it as an excuse to harass people, but it and of itself has never been illegal. *Hello!*

@@dorabolick9275 Loud and wrong.

Yes this is wrong

Depends on the law in your locality. The town in this case only prohibited CAMPING (with equipment etc.) and overnight parking, not simply sleeping.

maybe we should put you in one and see if your tone changes

@@NikolaiVolkovski ha ha ha!! So tell us what YOUR ideas are for resolving homelessness. I did ask for other alternatives. You seem to stop reading after "mental institutions".

@@vitodanelli Who’s us? What are you, Venom?

@@NikolaiVolkovski ha ha ha!! I'll just assume you didn't understand my question. By "us", I was referring to the people commenting on this KZfaq video. I hope this clears your confusion. When you have the time, tell "us" what your alternatives are to resolving homeless. I also assume that you won't respond because you don't have any answers.

Nikolai - have you volunteered at a shelter?

So lock e m up? What happens if u ca nt afford ur taxes anymore ? Lock u up?

not true, not regular individuals look at studies

Can’t happen to all of us, your wrong

​@@nobolt7sounds like your privileged and entitled

Dont rely on gov for help thats 🐑 talk

no, shitting on the sidewalks and dumping needles in parks is

According to this ruling you can be arrested and sent to jail for being homeless.... not all homeless people are drug addicts and alcoholics .. whats sad is now homeless veterans will be arrested and sent to jail

@@patrickoryan6361 you mean camping out where you're not supposed to. cope harder, bub

Okay edge lord 😂

@lordraydens it will affect all homeless people even the vets elderly disabled and others that are not on drugs or alcohol or are you gonna let them live with you ? Not every homeless person can stay in homeless shelters ... maybe they need to fix the system before they start arresting homeless .. so why dont you learn something

yes, and another scripture sounds like this situation in Job 24:4 They push the needy off the road and force all the poor of the land into hiding.' leviticus 25:35Now if your countryman becomes destitute and cannot support himself among you, then you are to help him as you would a foreigner or stranger, so that he can continue to live among you. 36Do not take any interest or profit from him, but fear your God, that your countryman may live among you.… '

they have rehab for those without insurance and many many programs they chose not to participate in

They are not supposed to insert their religious beliefs into the law. So all your babbling about what their religion “requires” is irrelevant.

The nimbys don't want to responsible for the housing crisis they created so they'll push it onto the prisons

But homeless people play a very important part in the billionaire ecosystem. They help remind the billionaires of how rich they are.

Biden and his donors haven’t done anything making it fine with the DNC just like Hillary with her corporate donors of the past she PROMISED not to accept money from. The Clinton Foundation has plenty of money and resources along with Obama and the DNC but they just don’t care as their narcissism consumes them.

I spent a decade working with the homeless. They don’t all want help. Many of them would just OD and die if you gave them money. I saw it way too many times when we would connect them with benefits or help them find employment. Some just want to live that way too.

​@@rayx5653 Same here, at St. Anthony's in San Francisco. The people in the streets here are so far gone.

Nimbys don't want to build homes

Women just HAVE to be able to get rid of their 'mistakes', right @user-cl7lx1cqtp? Stay on topic. This is about the homeless.

@@user-ol7ve1fe6f GOP is well comfortable with Israel getting rid of Palestinian children and woman and even pregnant woman.. whole sale slaughter. Supreme court hasn't said a peep about Biden gifting 10's billions worth or military aid that ends up shattering Palestinian's organs. This is about the Supreme court kicking out Truth and Justice to the streets because there is no home for it in their minds.

Thats not all homeless people damn! Grow a heart

​​@@patrickoryan6361I agree with you. This is absolutely outrageous. Sometimes people can't control their circumstances.

To avoid dying of exposure, all you have to do is go to a community with a shelter and participate in a program to end your homelessness. But that requires conforming to some rules and entering treatment programs. That's something the present breed of homeless are simply unwilling to do.

help is out there, dying from exposure IS A CHOICE

@@nobolt7 EXACTLY! But that kind of long term help usually begins with drug treatment and finding work. Two things that send the average homeless person running in the other direction.

There are beds for the homeless, you cannot force someone to come in and cannot force them to take meds for severe mental illness and or addiction

@@jasonjames4254right on well said

I am very sorry that your nice town has suffered and hope very much they have the balls to enforce it and get those able to clean it up

I think if you crap in the street you have to clean it up. I was dropping off food at my local shelter when a meth head cruised by “oh good what goodies are there” I replied “oh good help is here, please help me bring this stuff in and when dinner time comes you can eat with everyone” she said no and lit up a cigarette after which I explained the shelter playground is too close for her to be smoking, she did nothing. If you only want to see reality go and see it.

@@nobolt7 I’m only doing my duty as you or anyone would, if they had the means, help a person in desperate need. Just IMAGINE what is happening to the homeless in developing countries or restricted nations. My wife is Brazilian and there is a lot of poverty in her country, she has dual citizenship. My wife and I are low income, I’m disabled and filed for social security disability in 2019 and my case is in circuit court, then we were in an auto accident and I have 3 herniated discs in neck and a brain injury and severe spinal stenosis and serious pre-existing health conditions, we are barely surviving yet because of the love of God working in us we can’t stop loving people. Again, I could write a book about it and in addition to the work we did, which you have no evidence it is not true, we worked with Union Gospel Missions and the Rescue Missions in Jacksonville. We have looked into all types of ideas. I’m a degreed engineer with many contacts from Fortune 500 companies, my alumni from 3 universities and as a first responder… We can only serve with the capacity of strength, love and grace that we have and we live for the glory of God. The ONLY reason I replied like I did is because you questioned my commitment to help the homeless with action. In Florida DeSantis recently passed a law, HB 1365, requiring all cities to provide homeless shelters and the state is funding mental health and substance abuse programs, etc. I also studied law and enforce both Federal and State laws, more importantly helping companies come into compliance with the laws and even if they are fined for breaking the law to control the loss and build resilience into the organization. I began to work the chain of command after working with our city’s mayor, who is also our CPA, then sent a letter to our senator and the governor asking for help, etc. I rarely comment on KZfaq because the emotional part of my brain is severely damaged and I only get discouraged and upset and sometimes it takes me days of weeks to get over bullying or something like it... I just love people so much! My wife says I love people too much. I love writing so maybe I should right an article or paper on: “Can You Love Too Much?” Because sometimes the only thing we have to give is love. Love is patient and kind. Love is not jealous or boastful or proud or rude. It does not demand its own way. It is not irritable, and it keeps no record of being wronged. It does not rejoice about injustice but rejoices whenever the truth wins out. Love never gives up, never loses faith, is always hopeful, and endures through every circumstance. I’ve gone through a lot in life and it has had its toll on me, but my life is Christ, yes many have forsook me when I was desperate for help, I hold nothing against them, but after all my service as a public servant I need help and few helped. I’ve made a lot of mistakes too but I aim to always love people. I can empathize with the homeless, poor and disabled. I worked very hard in my career and was working as a national EHS director for Hoerbiger and had to retire because of my disabilities. Have you sat down with the homeless for hours upon hours, or even minutes, listening to their stories, shaking their hand, hugging them or encouraging them? I know for a fact that this will have more impact on them than a shelter. I believe the soul is eternal and you can gain the whole world but lose your soul. I only decided to comment because when I heard the decision from the Supreme Court a part of my heart was taken from me and it cut me deep. We have given an open invitation to the mayor to help through any means possible, when he is ready, but in the meantime since the homeless do not have a shelter we love them outside the shelter. Many in the local community have tried some of your ideas, or similar, I know a guy who has land set aside to build a shelter, like you suggested and many in the community have tried to do everything to help but instead they arrest the homeless for trespassing, panhandling and they tear down their only home, tents, etc. And many of them are Vets or widows. Yes there are widows both men and women over 60’s on the streets: this all inhumane and cruel and unusual punishment; oftentimes people treat their pets better than people. Anyways, I hate commenting on KZfaq but I could not hold back in this particular scenario. Please take a few minutes to sit down and listen to the homeless and show you ‘truly’ care for them because you might be the one who encourages them to get the help they need or whatever to get them out of their desperate situation… Lastly, I oftentimes ask them if they have any friends and most say no for various reasons and I say will I’m your friend.

That doesn't mean anything.

Hahahahahahahaha

Democrat state of California supported this ruling. 😂

And our Creator was homeless. Jesus was homeless. Jesus said, “Foxes have dens to live in, and birds have nests, but the Son of Man has no place even to lay his head.”

Have you volunteered at a shelter?

@@nobolt7in the city I live we don’t have a shelter. I could almost write a book on how much time my wife and I spent volunteering to help the city build a shelter. Worked with mayor, etc. Our heart is broken to the core because we know the homeless by name and they are our friends. I wish we had the money and the land and we would take EVERY homeless person, with no prerequisites, and provide them with a shelter. Again, I could write a book on this… but I tell you the truth: I have only one hero and that’s Jesus. If I were to have another hero it would be the homeless. I’m also an emergency medical technician, first responder and public health and safety servant for over 30 years. The city wouldn’t work with us or anyone in the past who wanted to help them build a shelter, so we do the only thing we can do: LOVE.

Most are from third World Countries and they know no nothing else !

Look at how much money one gets from an entry level job such as working at a restaurant, then look at rent. A lot of them feel hopeless and have given up. They are human beings.

some are far gone. Some cant find a job application soon enough or good references for a rental. learn the reality.

Rent right now is sky high even if they found a job they couldn't find affordable housing.

Well. Guess that was a joke, but they can't.

why not?

trade our citizens for migrants?

Or the dakotas, lots of land out there but they want to be near drugs and help when they choose it
