That was supposed to be a question.
Worst slums in the world? I've been through India and seen some strange stuff. Sadly, this is in the US. |

Wife and I could not believe our eyes when we visited Vancouver.
Looks just the same. |

Not just bad laws, but unenforced laws as well.

I guess the OP has never heard of the Ocala Forest.

Thank you, and yes I have.
I'm unaware of the situation being similar. Homeless yes. Subsidies? Million $ apartments there? Not exactly a high end real estate market. |

I didn't watch the video. I read the title of the video: Bad Laws Cause Homeless Crisis. The Ocala Forest is known for its homeless population, which is a crisis to anyone who lives in the general vicinity. It's also a crisis to the homeless, but - homelessness is ALWAYS a crisis if you're the one who's homeless.

Perhaps bear a bit and watch the video and then draw a comparison to Ocala. Many homeless go to San Francisco because, "it's a good place to hang out." There are subsidies of food stamps, train tickets, $70 cash a month. No, I'm not against feeding the homeless. Builders are handcuffed with laws from putting up affordable housing. That's essentially the law being addressed. Crime (smash and grab with parked cars) and drugs are everywhere. |

The only way homeless people can GET those things, is if someone GIVES it to them. They can't just wake up some day and say "hey I'm gonna start working at Publix, they need help and that help will be me!" and show up in their two-week-stale clothes that don't fit, teeth that haven't seen a dentist since 1980, hair that hasn't seen shampoo in almost that long, after walking 10 miles in 80-degree weather to get there and smelling as ripe as a rotting corpse... No. Without people GIVING them things, they will not be ABLE to get out of the situation they're in. So what exactly are YOU doing to get them out of those situations? |
