It shouldn’t be, but we generally treat it as a crime in and of itself.

If someone is living in their car then I take a live and let live approach to it. But for a bunch of people, they must be junkies or something.

I will say that I personally believe a large homeless population is generally a symptom of a society whose rent prices are out of control. California is a good example.

Good question. We ostensibly (according to libs) have good paying jobs for tens of millions of impoverished, uneducated, unskilled, non-English speaking people from all over the world?

No, I mean why is it a problem that needs solving? Is the assumption that the homeless want a house?

The obvious reality is that choices made by the the adults for whom this is a chronic, rather than temporary, situation are the root problem. And for those chronically homeless many of those choices involve criminal activity.

I don’t think they want homes.

If kids are involved, they should be taken away.

It’s a ton of responsibility.

If I didn’t have a kid and I didn’t like having a place to put my stuff I’d be tempted to just live in an Express van.

A designated stable residence is obviously not high on the priority list of the chronically homeless. What ever is high on that list makes maintaining a stable residence unlikely, to impossible.

from the endhomelessness website.

“Permanent supportive housing, which pairs a housing subsidy with case management and supportive services, is a proven solution to chronic homelessness. It has been shown to not only help people experiencing chronic homelessness achieve long-term housing stability, but also improve their health and well-being. “

aka using taxpayer money to help people with major life problems.

You didn’t really expect him to take the actual motivations and desires of the homeless individual into consideration while crafting his nanny state solution.

Well, what’ll we try next?

This one was a Darwin Award case. Guy who got shot was threatening the other man with a gun. Somehow the other guy got the gun from him and shot him. No charges due to self-defense.

One fewer thug in the subway now.

Here is the problem. Rogue guns.

" … and was then shot by his own weapon."

I am opposed to applying rouge with guns. I suggest a brush.
