      Why is it so sad? There's plenty of housing in this country now. Most cities have hotel rooms that they offer now. It's not sad he doesn't want to be housed because he doesn't want to pay any of his welfare check towards rent. He just wants to sit in this cardboard house and do drugs. I'm not mad at him about it but let's get real he doesn't want to be housed

      It's great to see LA in the last year getting investment into housing, let's hope it helps 🤞🏼

Myself being born and raised in England, we have a very rose tinted view of America, with all the films we see or I have seen bar one that actually showed tent city and people struggling through losing their jobs, their homes and of course people struggling with addiction. I don’t not believe people want to be living like this?? We all need a helping hand from time to time when we find ourselves between a rock and a hard place. I am fortunate never to have been homeless and out of work and in the same breath this could be either of us next week! So to show compassion and express sadness is not a crime or a platform for others to be asking questions as to why I genuinely feel sad for this man and others that find themselves in the same situation, I hope it shows that I am human!

Just because it’s not like getting a medical degree/license which has a much higher success rate doesn’t mean it’s not worthwhile.

    When I was little, there was a famous guerrilla song which talked about the poorest people in our impoverished countries living in cardboard houses. Most of us who lived in refular brick houses saw that as one of the saddest aspects of our underdeveloped society. This appears to be somewhere in the USA. I can't even imagine this ever happening here.

    My woodshop teacher told my class (and probably other classes) that if we ever wound up homeless, our house better be the nicest homeless house ever, he was like "If you're on the street in a cardboard box and you see me: you'd better start running. I will take apart your cardboard box and pee on it, and you know how useless wet cardboard is. You better find some pallets, take those suckers apart and make a house!" He's a really cool teacher, and wants to prepare you for not just woodworking but also life.

      If the former is true, someone should still see if he'd be down to help volunteer from time to time to help house some of the other houseless folks. If the latter is true, then that'd just be all the more proof we desperately need better mental healthcare to help struggling people rather than this socially darwinistic bullshit of basically leaving them to the streets then bitching and dehumanizing them when surprise surprise we see a tent city crop up
