    After robert started talking it immediately made me emotional. I used to be homeless. In south Florida. Just last night i found a homeless guy begging for food outside a taco bell. I gave him some food and i drove home crying because i remember exactly what hes going through. I hope robert is given another chance like i was.

      I was never homeless, just lived in Chicago and saw it often. I always give...even if they're going to buy booze or drugs and not food. Maybe it's their only way of coping. Who am I to judge. I think it's the humanly thing to do, is help someone that clearly cannot help themselves at the time. I'm really happy to hear you are not homeless now. I know how quickly it can happen. Be well

    He is right. When covid hit my husband and I literally lost everything. We ended up in a tent homeless. We weren't on drugs. Just got knocked down by covid. That changed the way I look at things.

      If I didnt have kids I would rent a storage building where I could store my stuff, sleep in my truck, bathe at the gym, or Y or where I live the salvation army has a daily soup kitchen and showers. I would save my money until I was able to buy me a piece of land or a cheap home I could live in and fix up.
      I know a man that did this for 2 years and now owns his own place. With gig apps like doordash and instacart plus your reg job, you could save alot of money and make it happen anywhere you are.

    I got to Florida in '94. I had a pickup truck, no money but good credit still. I worked every day at the labor pool. I got an apartment, a studio, for 365 a month. I found a good construction company to work for and they hired me on. I stayed there for over 20 years. I am writing this on a computer in my paid off house. Three things saved me. 1) low rent 2) budgeting software 3) good credit. I drank a 12 pack a day and smoked over 2 packs a day until I checked my future with the budgeting software. Quit smoking, bought the house with a mortgage payment equal to my rent. It had gone up to about 600 a month by then. Then i had to quit drinking so my medicines would work. What I know was the thing that saved me was affordable rent and a budget. I never took government assistance but tried to make it on my own and it paid off. The government needs to build affordable housing and the tenants need to respect the place they live.

    He is incredibly thoughtful and intuitive, and understands both the good, and the twisted nature of human beings, and the world were living in. I remember being asked for a dollar or a cigarette by a homeless man in Orlando, I said that I was so sorry and I had neither. I felt particularly guilty like I owed him my kindness. And he looked me in the eyes and said “son, never apologize to someone like me, I am not here because of people like you, you understand that right?” and that seared a hard memory into my brain forever. I’ll never forget that.

      If you had all that and failed to build up an emergency fund, I can see why you lost it. You were living above your means instead of below. 80% of people are living like that and that’s a ticket to poverty. At least you had your parents to fall back on, unfortunately now your parents’ lives changed drastically because of your poor planning skills. I was a teacher and became 100% disabled, also. I was not spending myself into debt though. I also had disability insurance, JUST IN CASE! Well, as you may have thought at the time, ‘why waste my money on disability insurance?!’ Well, the answer is the life you live now in your parents’ home. If you have children, please teach them that planning is not just for the wealthy.

Couple strong demand with limited supply and the price of rent goes through the roof. Immigrant families are more likely to be multigenerational or housed with extended family where multiple wage earners pool their earnings to afford the high rents. Most native born Americans prefer a more private lifestyle, but are increasingly unable to sustain its high cost. Glad to know the Venezuelans and Haitians are working, their participation in our supply and demand driven workforce helps the corporate bottom line by reducing the cost of labor.

      I left FL because I saw how bad it was getting for the working class. I would hear horror stories of how older homes built in the 60s and 70s or older where maybe a relative had deeded another relative property at one point, where being shared by multiple families because individually the families could not afford rent or property taxes + cost of living day to day. I mean where homes design to hold 1 family are now holding 2-3 families under the same roof. The state of Florida doesn't pay enough in many parts of Florida to afford a 1 bedroom apartment, I saw this first hand in Volusia and Sarasota counties. Some Tamps news outlet did a story last year on a State of FL accountant who was living out of a hotel because she could not afford to rent a place on her salary in the area she was hired to work in. It's absolutely insane but what's even scarier is this is all over the country. I am seeing similar shit in Georgia and UA-cam is flooded with similar videos out of TN, CO, CA, WA, NY...EVRYEWHERE.

    What Robert is saying is true. When I was homeless I would say "All I want is to be left alone". After being homeless the 2nd time I had no resources to speak of and the VA helped me get back on my feet. People think the VA does nothing to help, I disagree. They have reasonable rules and most just don't want to follow them. I use to dig a hole to do my business and throw dirt on it until full, then dig another hole. And yes it's a mf being homeless in Florida. Peace

    Your last comment nailed it. I spent years living in my van homeless working more than full time and still , if you look homeless you get treated like a sub human who has no respect or right to be on the planet.
    So the reason you get that answer first is due to the fact we get run off from everywhere and treated poorly by so many it becomes the biggest problem on top of all the impossible challenges the hard part is people treating you like sh*t. Many of you haters will join the ranks one day, so be kind !

Well...I am. 4) He has a 9 year-old daughter. How is he being a good father? He does nothing to support her. 5) "Addiction" to coffee is not the same as being a drug addict! A coffee addict doesn't end up living a bum's life. 6) Robert feels bums are entitled to free land, free garbage pickup, free laundry and showers (free utilities), and other city services I pay for! 7) "I'm a normal person." Well, Robert, you're not. Obviously, you don't know the definition of normal. Normal folks don't choose to be a bum.

    im a single father with two kids. i been off and on homeless for alot of 15 years. ive been homeless with kids many times. we've slept in our vehicle. motels, stayed with a couple people, lived two years in a local homeless shelter. ive worked for the same job for 7 years. work 56 hours a week. and still off and on have become homeless. never lived in a tent in the woods. yet.. i dont make a living wage. i work here because its the only thing that i could find which is close to what i know.. i could be making alot more money and be fine. but my problem is they refuse to give me a drivers license. and that ended my career of 17 years of towing and repossession. i have no DUI's, no accidents, one speeding ticket... every thing else on my record is driving on a suspended. i had a clean license in florida. and i had been living here for a decade. when i went to renew my license they said i couldnt. no explanation. come to find out. massachusetts suspended my license and it affected my license here.. i hadnt lived in mass in 10 years i dont know how they can suspend something i turned in and didnt even have. they wont even give me a hardship. being a single father with two kids and having bills to pay and needing a roof to live under its very hard and devastating especially for my kids who deserve more. so i owe child support to my ex and the state of mass.. she doesnt want child support and never has. the state took it upon themselves to go after it. so i havnt had a license since 2016. sorry for the long story, but. that leads me to this. im betting most of the homeless population dont have a license either. for whatever reason. there are no programs out there that help you with this. if there was there would be less homeless. they need a second chance law. they need to help people who are fully capable of working, like myself. i could get paid alot better and not have to struggle as much if i could drive. they need to help these people and it will cost them zero, not a dime to do it. give people who deserve it a clean driving slate. give them a license. and let them help themselves get out of homelessness. did you know that in the state of florida, they will give a hardship license to someone that has DUI"S but refuse to give it to someone that owes child support. so they are putting dangerous people back on the road but wont help a father get a job and pay his child support and let him have a life.. im sorry about this long ass story but as you can see it hits a nerve with me.. especially since the last year when we were able to leave the homeless shelter because i worked and saved and got into a house and now im going to lose it because of driving on a suspended charge and being put into jail for 15 days.. and now im two weeks behind on everything and im being told i have to leave the house.. and go back to being homeless.. this system is wrong and puts people behind instead of helping them

Many have never even seen what money or wealth looks like. You may think they are savages' but they live well. they need nothing, they want nothing because they never seen nothing. they make their living on the land they were born to, growing own food, using whatever resources are aviaible to them. they make there own home, protect their family in there own way. We were not meant to live this way so far out of balance with the natural world around us. This society we were born to trains us to conform and we end up slaves to system and feeds on our desires to have what other have, to conform to the order to have a house, car, job, money and pay taxes. Go back 2000 years and majority of people did not live like this. they were born and lived to about 40 to 50 and died like the rest the natural world around us. we are no better the other animals in the natural world. We are all living in other extinction event because of what we have done to this planet in last 2000 years so live simple, live as large as you can, be safe, help others aways where you can and love those around you.

    People who sweat a lot are healthier than those who don't. But, I hate sweating. I love cool air. 😓🌞

    I think most of the homeless people who are without mental health or addiction problems are actually brilliant for not throwing money away on car payments and rent.. I just hope they are saving the money in a good mutual fund so that when they get too old to live in a homeless environment that they have the wherewithal four more suitable housing as a senior citizen

      This is why I am living in my SUV. I would rather pay 3 weeks earnings per month in a segregated fund and precious metals rather than finance exorbitant housing costs for the same money.
      When I go to work it’s for my benefit, not the benefit of landlords who want a years income in a month.
      I feel bad for people living in tents especially in places like Florida where there are poisonous snakes and dangerous heat conditions.
      Despite potentially cold winters in southern Ontario where I live, I would rather stay up at 43 degrees north latitude than deal with the hazards of a sub tropical climate.
      I wish this young man the best! He’s hitting the nail on the head about government and society.

      @seanharley- Venomous Snakes not poisonous and yes most homeless are pretty intellectual but most are not and are complete wack jobs. It gets even worse when you get near the Liberal areas and cities cause the cops won’t do shit and I have been threatened to have my throat slit by a homeless black guy but I had a switch blade in my hand and he didn’t have shit and apologized. I’m a trucker so I can kinda understand that living outside society standards mentality

      @@mac11daddy6 my brother has been a trucker for over thirty years. Luckily he’s had no issues like you had. It’s not just the homeless who may be potential criminals. I seen UA-cam videos of truckers being hijacked ; their rigs and cargo stolen. Criminals come in all shapes and sizes and backgrounds.
      Just continue to be careful as you and my brother are doing very important work in making sure that the fuel; groceries and other necessities are when and where they need to be. Keep bear spray and any other defences on board; and make sure that they are legal in your area.
