Homeless in the US: Supreme Court seeks to make homelessness illegal 

the US gov't is the one renting all the affordable housing so you can't find a place to live. Where do you think the ten million border crossers live? They get two years of free housing and every house is taken from the supply that the citizens are desperately needing.

Amen!

That is potentially behind this legislation. Just like the feds can step in and throw out an entire police department they might be able to do the same to municipalities administrations under this law. After all everybody's homeless problem can leak out into other states ie california, ny, florida and texas..its a national issue.

Actually, statistics show that 60% of the homeless have full time jobs. When the minimum wage was instituted, it was set at what a family of four would need to live at the poverty level. The Republicans have blocked any attempts to increase it and now minimum wage isn’t enough for one person to pay rent or eat. This has been exacerbated by the banks and corporations to taking over the rental market with government money set up for under water home buyers that, instead of using it to bail out home owners, foreclosed on their properties and cornered the rental and real estate markets and drove rental prices up beyond what the average wage earner can afford.

Amazing and truthful

Section 8 ? That’s embarrassing

​@@edmonddantes5104That's a good way to describe it to the other guy section 8 is a godsend.

That is absolutely and categorically FALSE! The primary cause of homelessness is addiction and mental health issues (and most of the mental health issues stem from the addiction). I do agree that there needs to be more affordable housing solutions so that disabled and the working poor can have a roof over their heads. Almost every community in the country has existing federal/state/and local programs that will help people get back on their feet. Changes in zoning and building restrictions are what is needed to increase the supply of affordable housing. Section 8 vouchers only increase competition for the limited housing options that are available. We need more supply, not more vouchers. And what people who are struggling to afford housing need to understand, is that when you're priced out of your local housing market you MOVE to a city with affordable rents! You don't continue to live in highly congested urban areas where there is fierce competition for housing. I would love to live on the beach in Waikiki but my budget just doesn't allow that. So I live in a low cost area with lots of jobs and reasonable rents.

@@RyanMWilliamsexactly, why even watch the video with an idiotic title like that. It completely misrepresents the situation and who takes responsibility of the situations. The courts have nothing to do with making laws.

Quite a few people want to be homeless because they prefer to spend their gov't benefits on drugs.

Pathetic is an understatement. Downright barbaric and cruel is more accurate, since the homeless are a byproduct of a highly regulated real estate industry designed to produce unfortunates, in enriching the few. Homelessness in 1960 when land regulations were more than 10x less severe/costly wasn't nearly as bad... I wonder why

Many street homeless die alone quietly abandoned by everybody. What's even more sad is their bodies get eaten by other homeless and stray animals and simply disappear.

Solution: send more money to Ukraine, Israel and build more offshore military bases.

4 Billion dollars could house every homeless person comfortably for years.

Stop complaining. Thanks to your taxpayers' money, Israel's free health care and social security coverage is much better than America's. You must be proud to serve your masters.

In two years, Ukraine received at most 30% of what was promised, and of what it received somewhere from 40 to 60% was outdated or non-functional rubbish. About 40-80% of the electronic content of Russian missiles (depending on the type of missile) is American-made. Biden assured American taxpayers: “Of the $60 billion promised to Ukraine, $40 billion will go to the American military-industrial complex.” What is happening now will drag on as long as possible. Because it’s profitable, you know... @@sugarpuddin

That is federal money being given to Israel. Homelessness is not federal jurisdiction. The States have to do it.

They bail out big businesses that is. They screw over small businesses all the time and don't spend a penny helping them out.

Europe also has a capitalist system but no one there ever thought of criminalizing the unfortunate!

We live in the wealthiest country in the world and capitalism is responsible for a large part of that. We know the facts and there is no need to question capitalism.

The best way would be a progressive tax that just keeps increasing as you own more property. People who live under the roof they own don't pay that kind of tax. In fact I think we should decouple things like school from property tax entirely, the entire way we deal with homes and property needs to be re-examined so that it doesn't deliberately encourage classism and racism.

I worked for a mental health county contractor in Santa Cruz, Calif. Effective preventative measures would take a massive amount of pressure off of the “mental health system” (which primarily consists of: experimental medication causing unknowable long-term side effects often CAUSING symptoms that mimic various psychiatric diagnoses). The majority of severe diagnoses are directly caused by trauma, almost always early childhood trauma, as opposed to a congenital neurological abnormality or organic brain disease. If we can figure out a way to put the fear of God into those twisted individuals who abuse and prey upon defenseless small children, our society would be transformed so profoundly that it is beyond my imagination.

Policing them is probably the most expensive part, since much of the costs are immeasurable to society at large. It's hard to put a price on sanitation, security and other issues which may come from a large homeless population. Some people even argue that keeping them locked up would be cheaper. As i see it, the best way is the hard way aka. get these people cleaned up and off the street, the problem however is that the first step in a majority of cases must be taken by the person on the street. If you try to force someone to do something you won't get far, which means the best way is to offer them alternatives and hope they bite... what's even better is to prevent them from ever ending up on the street in the first place aka. interventions, but that's also very hard when it comes to private landlords etc.

Deprive a population of its natural means of survival and you can extort both labour and loyalty. (If you can extort loyalty, what does that say about our supposedly free elections?) The problem is not lack of money. The problem is that we need money in the first place. The problem is that the whole world is being held to ransom and that we need to pay in order to access it. Is that not the indefensible crux of capitalism? If feudalism was a violently enforced protection racket, its offspring, capitalism, added private property and licensed plunder to the extortion. As for communism, it is still built on the same foundation and uses state property to leverage compliance and extort wealth: Ownership is violence: it violates people, it violates the land. No one can own the Earth. Standing up against the bullies and the psychopaths is the way to go: above all, don't feed them. * * * I believe there's only one way out of all the dilemmas, the confusions, and the brokenness caused by thousands of years of imperialism and colonialism: That is for the majority of us to find the necessary courage and develop such a strong sense of self assuredness and fairness, that we become ungovernable. To be ungovernable, to be incoercible is what it takes to be incorruptible, to be true to oneself and one's community: just imagine all that incorruptible energy working in the community, for the community! In terms of virtues worth striving for, this has to rank somewhere at the very top. If enough people are ungovernable and willing to federate and fight to preserve their freedom, then government becomes impossible. It is for us to pull the warlords down - primarily by non-compliance, but by force if necessary. Thankfully, liberation requires no ideology or ism's: anyone can walk away and become an outlaw to the establishment order. (Indeed, people who impose their ideology on others are the worst of the lot.) It’s going to be a tough struggle. Onwards and upwards!

It is not even treating the symptom. It is like if somebody had Measles but instead of treating it with anti-viral medicine, you inject someone with poison

Check out the Amazon prefabricated tiny homes. Since cities have plenty of gov't owned lots, they could create tiny communities.

And also cruel.

I'm sure the private prison corporations are lobbying for this.

Exactly. So many aristocrat-wannabes who think they're better than everyone else. And they think they don't have to do anything. Except shoo away the "peasants."

After all the billions we give the Ukraine and other countries for war, the US doesn't have the money to help Americans. The US economy is in bad shape and will only get worse due to dedollarization which will keep increasing inflation. We are in a problem that all educated economists knew was coming, dedollarization is deadly for the US.

Unfortunately, that doesn't always work. We tried that with a local homeless person here. She refused to sleep in her apartment. She harassed neighbors, broke out her window, and openly pooped (literal human s*** , not a metaphor) on other people's property. We all tried to help her with spare cash too. She would get drunk and threaten to walk into traffic with the intent of commiting suicide. So, that was the result of our "just get the homeless an apartment" experiment. Hopefully you will get a different result if you try it.
