Supreme Court weighs in on homeless rights dispute 

I can attest to this. It was easier for me to get out of homelessness, when I was paying $350/month for rent. Anyone working minimum wage could do it.

Have heard of people working while homeless, never missing a day for 2 years, still unable to get housing. Its insane. Meanwhile investment companies can buy 75% of homes in a city.

You voted for it. Be quiet and do your job

It's been like that for decades

I mean, it’s always something else for these types of people. Maybe they can increase their own affordability…?

Nobody is doing that. I can't afford to live in my hometown, so I moved to a place I can afford. I'm all for bursting the housing bubble and reigning in corporate profit inflation, but this isn't about that. Homeless people feel they should get to camp out on public land, littering, stealing, and accosting people, while abusing drugs and alcohol. None of those things are legal and none of them should be tolerated. If you can be homeless without doing those things, then leave those folks alone, but enforce the laws on the others.

@@wsol80 if you don’t tolerate the homeless, then you should also not tolerate the conditions that cause homelessness. Corporate greed causes homelessness because you can’t have someone making millions or billions while so many make next to nothing

@@wsol80 and if you can’t afford to live in your area already, how do you expect someone to be able to afford to move anywhere else?? You still need a place to stay when you get to your new area, time to look for a job, groceries, gas to get there, etc…

After their all saved by a wealthy person I guess they'll all get jobs and be useful citizens 😂😂😂😂😂

OP - You mean like Trump? We let billionaires pay nothing in taxes when they don't need the help.

Homeless people never paid a dime in taxes..

​@@Fluffybunz779 That's completely false but okay.

People like you love using the homeless as pawns for your culture war agenda. You people don't even support a $20 minimum wage increase and support union busting. Nothing is going to progress for the better as long as people like you around.

they may need to figure out what they did wrong.

Because there's nothing set aside for Lower Class people. Every neighborhood is being gentrified by real estate "investors." Including places that were once working class areas.

@@KN-eh2fhthey don’t care, why does everyone think they care? Do you understand that one day everyone except the top percent are gonna be homeless, Jesus is coming back hurry quickly accept him in your heart. Look up “the sinners prayer” Amen to you all. You guys care and I care because we are not psychopathic or narcissistic, however sadly most of the people at the top are narcissistic and have many other socially harmful traits as well and I’m just a homeless guy lol. You cannot stop this it’s impossible, just like you cannot stop a star from collapsing in on itself, Jesus is coming back and Satan will have his way till then baby, we are in full collapsing star and black hole mode folks, think think think and you will see, this is the end times there is no repair because no one is going to give up their inch because they don’t have the Love or the source of Love witch is God/Jesus only to get it done, it is impossible to avoid the black hole of the future. I’m with you Jesus baby boy, with all of my worldly and godly intelligence I AM WITH YOU MY LORD. Have mercy on all these people especially the poor and homeless and everyone else even the evil in Jesus name I pray Amen. We are literally in the Singularity of time which is the end times absolutely unavoidable there’s no other way it was going to happen, a Singularity makes sense. Love is the only way to continue this world any longer than Armageddon but people refuse to do it and God knew they would refuse to do this because of the absence of Love in their hearts and it would get more and more Singular and worse until everyone is destitute and the rich have their bunkers and on and on. However you can’t hide from God in a bunker. Think think think really hard put all your thinking together it will click you all know I’m telling you all the truth and I am because I love you all, all humans, all. My name is Alan and I’m here to start a revival and become the most well known preacher/pastor for God only and I will pass all the glory to him, Amen. Love each other as much as you can please

How exactly will higher taxes on 1%ers help you or them afford rent?

Closing the wealth gap and taxing the ultra wealthy fairly will enable those additional tax dollars to be redirected into additional truly affordable housing.

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 disappear in that darkness.

​@@evening_streets Tax the Rich and stop taxing the Working Class.

@@marcusverschollen9634 So you are implying that everyone that is "rich" never worked? They never invested smartly or sacrificed anything to earn them the money they now have? I swear; the arrogance of some people.....SMDH

To your home.

Conservative states jail, others mostly unenforced with exception of highly affluent areas. Slab city, Quartzsite, CR, sail boats

💯 facts

It's not as simply as building housing. You also need supportive services to go along with the housing.

The vast majority of homeless people are on the streets because of addiction and untreated mental illness. When you provide them with housing, they destroy it and end up back on the streets.

Just have two camp grounds. One sober, and one not.

Working your butt off is not enough. You have to be frugal and invest wisely.

Hate to break this to you but the homeless industrial complex is real especially due to the fact that homeless outreach groups can easily request millions over only a few years.

@@KILLKING110 So? It's a public park. People pay taxes so that their kids have a safe place to play, not so they have to avoid human waste, used needles, and the occasional "Timmy, you ever seen a grown man naked?". If the city governments won't do anything about them, then the public should. And no "homeless industrial complex" or outreach group could stop them.

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 disappear in that darkness.

@@sarbantz As sad as that is, why is it necessary to turn a public park into a no man's land? Why should the rest of society have to suffer for their misfortune?

People get fined for just sleeping in their cars. They keep punishing the homeless, yet strangely they don't seem to be going away. Crazy right?

I doubt it. They have to want to get off drugs first.

Solutions? Instead of complaining

And I suppose you are actively participating in solutions to the homelessness problem and including your children, correct? Instead of being a snob and looking down on those less fortunate, perhaps use this as a teachable moment for your children (since they aren't spending their time playing at the park).

what an awful take smh

@@amysteele6540 facts

Maybe you and your kids should help them. It would be a great lesson. Parks are for homeless more than your kids. They can play anywhere. Homeless have no where to go.

They need a address to get a job.

Some of them have jobs
