The majority are drug addicts and mentally ill and what kind of person has no friends or family? I bet you have at least 1 friend or relative that would help you The truth is these people have alienated everybody in their lives that's why they are on the streets
Your property taxes pay for all the services in your area. The food banks or subsidies provided to charity food banks the tents and sleeping bags they give out the needle exchange programs, the ngos who are getting city grants the extra fire and police needed because of the homeless camps etc. You haven't seen anything yet
Street homeless live very modest and minimalistic type of life. They put a tent on a sidewalk, and that becomes their new home with new stories. They don't bother anyone and want to be left alone. Sadly, 99% of street homeless are fentanyl and Tranq addicts and will not be among us in the next several years.
Because rent is so expensive here!!!! NJ really needs to have laws stopping landlords from raising the rent for no reason. My apartment right now it's old and falling apart but they raised the rent $100 more this year and for what! They're not fixing anything, they're not upgrading anything, they don't replace things that need to be replaced i end up doing repairs myself! It should really be going down every year because the place is just getting older and crappier !!!!
Your landlord raised the rent because his taxes, insurance, and utilities on the building have all gone up too thanks to inflation. He's not raising rates for the fun of it.
It's not the immigrants fault, the States of Texas and the governor of Florida have decided to trick some migrants and send them to New York, Chicago, and Boston. The point is to show the rest of the cities and states what it's like to be overrun with immigrant needing Housing Shelter food clothing job and legal help. It's been going on in Texas for a long time, Governor Abbott change the buses up here to try and get the rest of the country to help solve the problem.
What do all these countries suffering housing crisis and all the other problems have in common? Woke, leftist, globalists government, all for mass ilegal and legal migration annually 😠
Why are so many "luxury" apartments being built ? How about building more "rooming house" types of buildings for folks who do not need/want a lot of furniture, etc ? How about building more apartments for low-middle income people period? Our Trenton reps are silent on this issue, nothing is ever done.
@@haveanicedave1551And do you know what else those Very Same Luxury Apartments will Collapse after awhile due to them being built very Quickly and Cheaply.
It has to be at least three times that many homeless. The ones who aren't showing up for services or are visibly on the sidewalks aren't counted. A lot can stealth camp in their vehicles, couch surf, maybe hide in camps that no one has discovered, etc. Not everyone will wander into a soup kitchen or talk to social workers and data collectors. The vacancies are for high-end units. Low-cost units are scarce and ones in good condition are like a needle in a haystack. If there are 250,000 waiting for an affordable unit, maybe that is the true number of homeless or almost homeless. Even a lot of the affordable units are not low enough for very low-income people to rent.
That's the same thing I was thinking. Those numbers are a whole lot worse and I been seeing an increase of homeless people out here too. The only thing different from NJ and the rest of the country is that there isn't too many tent cities all over the place. There's a lot of people that's good at hiding that they are homeless.

How does one become homeless because of medical bills? The bill collectors can't take away your home and the medical debt can be discharged in bankruptcy
I live in Calif. where the homeless population is the biggest in the country. The homeless presence here is so overwhelming that they kinda blur together as one group. Intellectually, we know that the teasons for homelessness are many, ranging from fentanyl addicts and mentally unwell ppl at one extreme to employed ppl that can't afford the high rents at the other extreme. In any case, it's difficult to witness this level of ppl living in tents and under tarps as if the U.S. were a third world country.
Most homeless are hidden in cars, couches etc most are working too but homeless, demand for housing outstrips supply. Same will happen for everything the whole infrastructure will collapse that's when everyone will be affected,that's when you'll see change.... maybe 😢
Homelessness is becoming a Norm.. from people living pay check to pay check, rents on the high, food prices rising, gas going up, many many people are struggling, many people on living on the verge of becoming homeless. The United States has so much money that they CAN help the homeless. Why are they asking for federal assistance to house the migrants from Venezuela, apparently it’s inhumane to let them sleep on the streets YET the People from here are sleeping on the streets, eating from trash cans! Help the homeless, everyone needs help one time in their lives!
Bidens America To those that it happened under Trump note you fiought him on every issue from immigration to covid Biden said he'd solve these problems and he didn't Its only got worse
wages dropped when women and teens entered the work force Then illegals caused them to drop more You can't expect high wages with no education or skills Outsourcing and globalism also plays a part
Government Logic: We need to raise taxes taking people's money so we can pay a government agency to give people some of that money we took from them to help people pay their taxes so they don't become homeless. We call it property tax relief or something. tada! there we fixed it.
Oh that's too bad it really breaks my heart you vote Democrat and now you got to complain about being homeless would you think the Democrats are going to do for you all they do is talk about Trump you didn't like the orange man how do you like the taxman🤣
Yep, Democrats spend like crazy, school taxes I pay goes to area's that has no hope of improving. But they'll probably raise taxes even more so I can support the people that don't want to work. Pretty soon like California

Lmao no. 😂 75% of black population is born to broken homes and unwed mothers. Vast majority of homeless, regardless - Of race- come from broken families. It has nothing to do with race. And everything to do with broken and dysfunctional home. When mom and dad aren’t active in children’s life, those children grow up to become aimless, and homeless. Go around and ask homeless people randomly: “was your father present in your life?” Over 90% of them will tell you they did not have a father
I remember how constantly all thru out NJ wanted self homeless. Since 2011 . After 2014 They were not able to cope with Envy hate Since then propagated thru all usa what NJ / DC tried toself plus Better pray all. Not such things to us for the so call " benefitz of others
This is so sad..very...we have very afluent areas,that are fellied with himeless people..yep..the rents in these counties are off the wall..no one cares about anyone, its all about GREED..welcome to our world, .land of GREED.
A difference between NJ and the west coast homeless, in NJ they will not be stealing freely from stores because they'll get arrested or shot by the shop owner. On the west coast the homeless have been allowed to rob stores freely.
NJ is not there yet because NYC and Philadelphia is the bedroom for people who work in those cities. If both cities wasn't in the area, it would be a Mad Max scenario.
They not helping for emergency asst for bills welfare workers arent helping no one i was out 5 yrs in 3 feet snow due to mayor closing wer i lived its terrible
Start with the 1.7 trillion Joey handed out to a handful of countries I did a rough estimate what it costs to end homelessness in the US 44 billion ends it, for several decades, no kiddin, maybe we can ask Ukraine if we can borrow some money
Your numbers match pretty much what I do. But that would be in one year at 50 billion…. But I’m gonna do it through a social media site so it’s gonna take about five years, because it involves building infrastructure. I laid it all out on my RU-vid channel.
I liked this video, because the truth hurts when it's true. I'm in the homeless boat with my wife and child , and others homeless in my area that are lost out In the cold with no one helping any of us
