    Here in St Paul i was walking my dog and a homeless guy in his late 20's commented to me that it was cold. I asked where he is from and he said Fresno, CA. I asked him why he is in MN and he told me, "some of the best homeless benefits in the country"
    I met another guy from Miami.

    It’s so cold in Minnesota during the winter. I couldn’t imagine being homeless there.

      They figure it out when it’s cold, somehow. There are beds available they just don’t want to utilize them when it’s nice enough out.

      Not potholes for sure! Huge amounts of fraudsters in Mn. Feeding Our Future, child care fraud, Medicare fraud. Seems like when it happens, it's massive, and for some reason, our leaders just can't find a way to catch, stop, or recoup. Smh.

    The title should be, 'the people who decide to live on the streets of Minneapolis.' There is lots of space in the shelters in my neighborhood. But these people dont want to follow the shelters rules. There in lies the rub, RULES...

      People need hope and often times native Americans don’t have that. You can’t imagine what they are going through so stop trying to act like a shelter can fix everything. Life’s much more complicated then most can understand so just be happy you have a house to live in.

      Nowadays even if you are a rebel and a renegade you have to have a plan for survival. I totally understand not wanting to be part of the society and all the rules. A person still needs food clothing and a warm shelter maybe some medical and dental care.

      ⁠@@petebusch9069it’s not about being lazy, these people really have addiction problems and mental health problems it has nothing to do with being lazy. You are a close minded person and you been living underneath a rock. like I said we spend millions of dollars on other stuff but when it comes to treating people who has mental and dependency issues and health problems we turn a blind eye and that’s really messed up our focus needs to be at home I can care less about what is going on over seas we have a lot of problems and issues in the United States we need to be focusing on and solving. Going back and forth and arguing over petty things is a waste of time. Like I said we have the money and resources so that should not be an issue. If we can spend billions of dollars on other things we can definitely spend millions of dollars to solve and make things better in the United States.

      I find it odd we spend and send billions of dollars overseas but when it comes to our own people living in the United States O we don’t have the money, O that’s too much money but in the meantime we have millions and millions of dollars to spend and to send overseas I find that very odd. If we can spent and send billions of dollars in other countries we can spend billions of dollars to build homes and treatment centers for these people who been suffering and struggling with mental illnesses and other problems they been facing

      As a native American let me educate you. Each reservation is based on blood percentage. Any native born in prior lake (which has a casino) those people get monthly checks from the rez which gets most its money from the casino. When those people turn 18 they get like $100,000 then I think $5,000 a month for the rest of their lives. The natives in this video must be from other reservations where it is poor.
