How a homeless encampment grew on a Phoenix private lot
Вставка
- Опубліковано 1 лют 2023
- Phoenix area's homeless crisis is in full view at a large, vacant lot near 35th Avenue and Indian School Road, where a new homeless community popped up, in violation of the City Code. While we have since learned that people living in the area have left on their own accord, one question remains: How did it get to this point? FOX 10 Investigative Reporter Justin Lum has more.

There need to be an audit on the money that goes to the homeless. I sense a lot of money for homeless are lining the city and politician’s pockets and not going to homeless
So it's going to taxpayers instead of druggie with no job? Good.
It is. I've had cops tell me that's a fact.
America send billions in aid to Ukraine but our own citizens don't get that same support ...
That’s ignorance talking. The largest line item in the budget is Health and Human Services.
@@williamwilson6499 your ignorance is showing Americans and America come first if you're worried about Ukraine and other countries send them your salary.
im a strong advocate in louisianna.. usa for the poorest state in our nation
how dare america let our own children starve
Democrats hate America..
That's absolutely true they sent all that money over there across land but yet they got people here still suffering and they don't even care choose to ignore
I saw a documentary on one non-profit, they bought a empty lot, put a big fence arround it, put in a big gate, lots of port-a-cans, put in outdoor cooking facilities, set up some rules and provided securty to enforce the rules.
Cost a bout a 1/100 of what the city spends and it worked.
And it provided about 7 jobs checking in and out people and enforcing the rules.
I was homeless in Phoenix a few years back. I went from being an apartment manager to homeless real fast. The owner sold the property and new owner gave me a month to get out. As the manager I got my rent, electric and gas plus $300.00 a month. Without a way I didnt have enought money for first and last. Got another job but was living on the street. It is hard to save up when you have to use checks to eat bathe and wash clothes, ect.. All while trying to save up. Ended up leaving on shuttle to my parents. I am in my fifties. Not a child. It was very difficult. Don't judge and say just get a job, it isn' t always about not having a job. The rents were raised sky high, the cost of living went up but the rate of minimum wage in Az, the Right to Work state has been slow and unlike other states they are not obligated to pay minimum wage and if you are in a spot, a job, good or bad wages, you take what you can get. While praying, hoping and trying for better.
As for getting disability. It isn't easy to get. Sometimes it takes years to recieve. It isn' like applying for food stamps, which is a pain, but if your doctors dont write it in a way that social security understands you get denied and you have to get a lawyer. Please try to understand these people aren't all drug addicts and deadbeats nor are they people that over spent or mis manage funds but sometimes just people living on bare minimum just teying to make it.
If the city wanted to do something they need to build shelters where people can actually live and work. Shelters I'm told if you leave to go to work when you come back might not even find a bed, and there isn't anywhere to leave any personal belongings.
@@Mike-01234 But I'm sure most if not all shelters are full every night anyway in Phoenix like they are in other big cities. Shelters can't expand the max capacity because that would be violating fire codes so they have to turn people away if there's no space. The best way to end homelessness is to make rehabilitation mandatory for all homeless addicts and mentally ill, assign a case worker for everyone that's homeless so they will know why they are homeless and fix their problems. Housing first is a great way to end homelessness but it won't work without support services.
@@MrDodger3222 How do force someone to get off drugs. I know someone who mother spent over million dollars on several rehabs each time she got out went right back to drugs. It's a fantasy that you can make someone get off drugs. Not all are on drugs I know someone right now who is living a car and he never used drugs. He is disabled and was evicted on social security $1500 a month. You can't find anything for less then $1500 a month. This is why we see a spike in elderly people on the streets. He at least has a car and can sleep in it better then living under a bridge. Section 8 housing is 2-3 year wait they told him sleep in your car until something comes up. He has a dog can't take a dog to a shelter. He parks in walmart parking lots overnight along with lot of others who do the same then drives somewhere else during the day.
For those homeless people here battling illness, lost jobs etc. you are about one in ten. 90% of Los Angeles homeless are drug addicts, mentally ill and criminals.
THEY are the ones who got obscene amounts of money dumped upon them annually to continue their destructive lives. You who have lived decent lives have had your safety net taken away to buy needles, free food etc. for the takers.
@@MrDodger3222 there is no way in hell that repub congress will set aside funds for the social workers and any other programs, but it sounds good.
You know what is concerning? That people can't afford to pay rent. Why is that not an issue to make affordable housing for those who are struggling?
Because raw dog capitalism
Lololol always blame an “ism”. Never personal responsibility. Always “it isn’t FAIR!!” No. It’s not. Whoever told you life was fair lied to you.
Affordable housing. That is something I can't find. HUD housing is for people who have never broken the law or gone to prison your a felon and can't live in hud housing or any low-income housing. so the homeowner wants more for his property and makes your rent go up the employer goes out of business and you are laid off. and all of a sudden you are homeless. And I got a lot of kickbacks on my commits from people who believe this could not happen to them.
@@S.A.Mitchell it is very sad. I pray that people are able to live with some dignity again soon. I know when I was raising my kids as a single mother I would have not been able to afford to live in Phoenix and surrounding areas. I raised them outside Cody, Wyoming and put myself through college. I paid 650.00 for a nice little house and paid all my bills. That is impossible here. Best wishes to all and each day take a step to better yourself. Make each day amazing no matter what. You are the only one that can do that! And never stop moving forward!
Because America runs on unfettered capitalism. Rich people make the rules the poor pay for it
"5 people accepted the help of outreach services"...
That statement at the very end of the video is so telling.
Here's to the property owner. My hat's off to you. You're doing more to help these homeless people than the city could even think about doing. Keep on keepin' on.
I was homeless due to an accident that left me disabled for 3 years. After savings were gone and I sold what I could I had to live in my car with my 2 dogs. I was luckily able to go back to work after 3 surgeries, still living in my car and saving up to get a small apartment again but that was the most difficult and dangerous time of my life. I was a single injured female out on the streets.
Are you in Phoenix? Ride it out in the car as long as you can. I lost my studio apt in central phx in April 2022 due to new owners renovating and doubling the price. Put my stuff in storage, and stay between family members houses, friends apts, my car, and occasionally a hotel room. The car is ok outside of june july aug. I love having the extra money. I go out to eat whenever I want. I go outa town somewhere about once a month. And of course save. I refuse to pay 1500 for a one bd rm apt. Im looking into an rv or nice trailer. Nothing like financial freedom
There..Ive Been. Been there done that. Good luck.
Lex talking about financial freedom… lol. That’s not financial freedom. that’s poverty dude. Stop rationalizing your situation and improve it instead.
Just work
@@Parzzyval let's see, since you got my finances all figured out, tell me how I've gone from having just under 10k saved, to around 75k saved? I'll fill you in fool. I eliminated car payments about 8 yrs ago. Pay cash for cars. I got 4. Then as i previously said, im not paying the ridiculous rent prices right now. 1,500-2,500 for an apartment cmon. When the time is right, I'll buy a house condo or townhouse. So no car payment and no rent payment means my bills are less than 1,000 a month. Sounds like your trying to make yourself feel better about paying 2k a month for RENT.. won't get a dime of it back. Probably got a 700 car payment to huh lol. Tryna impress people huh. Nobody cares fool!
"I never thought my life would be like this."
Can happen to any of us very easily.
Not Elon Musk or Bill Gates.
I wonder why none of these people have a support system. Friends or sane family members? Did they spend their lives alienating themselves from others that cared? If I went broke and lost my home I'd have 35 people I know would take me in. There is more involved that being homeless. It didn't just happen, years of bad decisions cumulated for this to happen I think for most of them.
No you're wrong. While you might be right about some people you can't say that about everyone including myself. I've been in similar situations as these people but I worked hard and depended on myself. I've never been close to being destitute like these people. Where there's a will there's a way
It doesn’t just HAPPEN.
It "Will" happen to Everyone🃏 Time takes all.
I wish I could say I’m surprised but I’m not. The cheapest apartment I could find, that wasn’t an hour from my work, was $1300 a month for a 1/1! There is no affordable housing in AZ, especially in the Phx metro area!
same in seattle but people don't know there are ants for 30% of income managed by the church both catholic and others they help anyone that applies but if you don't no where to apply then you are out of luck . in my building we always have vacancies. rent my first month was 108 dollars.look for catholic community services in your area . or if you are jewish family services. there are others that work with former addicts . lots of programs you need to find one that fits your need. i rented a room from an older retired navy vet for 150 a month and he was flexible with that if you helped with cleaning up around the house.
Nothing will change as long as capitalism is king
@@karlabritfeld7104 bailouts aren't capitalism
It's the greed of property owners that is out of control.
@@karlabritfeld7104 capitalism isn't the problem, a location with nothing going for it is, move
I was homeless in Phoenix in 2015. Thank God I have it so much better now. But it took hard core hustling. God Bless. 💚
Our government needs to put American citizens first
illegals are more important you should know that
I have seen Ukrainian and other people south of the boarder fill up the shelters. We where here first. Biden is mentally blind!
Normally it's the local govt first. So city is responsible after that county then state and only after that the feds.
That and the people needa stand together and fight there are plenty of land that can be changed into new little towns that the homeless of all kind can live at
agree.....tell Joe and the other criminals to stop sending money to the Ukranian panhandler
It's not a homeless problem, it's a housing cost problem
There is a lot more to it than just a housing problem.
Amen!!!
Bullshit invest your money in a place to live is what it is
It’s not a homeless problem. It’s a capitalism
There are resources
See my comment below.
How can people survive there when it hits 120 degrees in the summer?
We grew up in Phoenix with no ac in our home or our vehicle. I have no idea how we did it. I sure wouldn't want to try it again.
@@XploreAz We didn't have the pavement that holds the heat the way it does now. This isn't anywhere near the AZ we grew up in.
@@XploreAz We used to soak burlap in water and hang it by the open windows to cool down the breeze back in the 1950s. We weren't drugged up, drunk or hiding from the law either.

The homeless are invisible. Your a ghost...a shadow...that person that nobody wants to be so they step over you or go out of their way to avoid you. Yes, there are people in society who show compassion and for that i am very grateful but on the otherside of that coin are those who just do not care. Accuse you of being lazy, no good. You deserve to be where you are. I lost my third job now due to covid. Very well paying and I lost it due to medical issues that came from covid. I not only lost my job but my apartment as well. I am with family through the winter, I left the valley and came up north. The pain stays with you and never subsides. In the heat of the valley, living in my car, i would chase shade to protect myself from direct sunlight. There is no protection from the pain of homelessness, the guilt and shame placed on you by society.....i am tired of these tears
Feel you dude. People don't even understand the half of it, but we're stronger than even we know. Keep pushing on.
I hope life gets better for you soon.
Your writing is beautiful.
There are homeless everywhere in phoenix. Phoenix is becoming a city full of tecatos. Is not funny been around tecatos and tecatas 😮
Never stop writing ✍️ It's your SUPERPOWER!
The wealthiest, and one of the most technologically advanced countries in the world can't solve their homelessness is kinda sad.
What do you expect? I suppose you want free housing?
Exactly!
They can, they just don't care to solve it.
@Roy Harper well a great start would be to STOP housing IlLigaLs & sending money to other countries.
Actually we're doing the opposite.. opening the southern border and allowing tons of drugs in. Drugs leed to homelessness and doing things you wouldn't be otherwise doing..
Can’t Even Help Our Own People Here Born In The USA But We Can Give Ukraine $1.7 Trillion Dollars & Immigrants Flocking In Here From Everywhere,Mexico,Cuba,Etc😮I Am Struggling Myself To Make Ends Meet,Retired 5 Yrs Ago,Live Alone,My Rent Goes Up & Up,It’s Ridiculous😢 Just Saying
IN another 6 months you will be one of us, The HomeLess. welcome to the family.
They will destroy any housing we put them in because unsheltered street homeless are fentanyl addicts. It is an extreme addiction with extreme anxieties and pain. We will never reduce street homelessness without reducing the amount of fentanyl and other nasty synthetic chemicals available on our streets. Make no mistake about this. Fentanyl and P2P based meth destroy humans mentally and physically beyond the point of repair very quickly. Other nasty chemicals are in street pills are: rat poison, horse tranquilizer, sedative benzo, wasp dope, and many others.
Street homeless steal food from grocery stores unopposed. Police doesn't even show up for anything related to street homeless unless they spill blood, and employees are instructed to ignore store theft. They steal other items they can quickly sell for fentanyl. That stealing is called boosting. All money given to panhandlers goes for fentanyl pill popular blues.
Suicide?
Senators in the Stone Temple giving tax breaks to the Wealthy; rich people grafting off of Government grants for low cost housing; idiots in Congress giving speeches that are a waste of time, and diverting attention from real issues. Reaganomics: the sh*t trickles down - and here's yer sign.
Mexico is welcome especially the natives. But foriegn immigrants are pests
You look at this knowing we could all end up homeless at some point. I help when I can ❤
I found a neighborhood food pantry. Not a business, a home with a shelf and a fridge. I brought 2 large boxes of food. I was so sad to see when I got there it was completely empty. No food at all. For me, this is a great way to help as I won't give cash out. I will help with food, clothing and hygiene supplies when I can.
absolutely
Don’t give addicts money?! When you help you keep them away from professional help. You extend their stay. People dont suddenly become homeless. These are people that have burned every bridge and or have mental issues that they need professional help from, handing them money so they can get high., Just keeps them on the streets, stop it.
We could end it tomorrow if people weren't so god damned greedy. There are more houses in foreclosure in this country than there are homeless people. Where I grew up is a resort area and they are suffering a major housing and labor crunch because half of the housing in the county seats empty the majority of the year so that it can be rented weekly for a few months during the Summer Time tourist season. Air BnB is absolutely killing the long term rental market. Corporate purchasing of residential real estate is absolutely killing the residential real estate market. And it all comes back to flat out GREED!
@@ashleighelizabeth5916 GREED? Are you going to build the houses? Have YOU ever built one? I have and our homes are VERY competitive in price. GREED? SO you think companies are making tons of profits? This is America, its a FREE country. If you are so sure its GREED you must know how to do all this more efficiently correct? Then start building these cheap houses! Go on! Everything is Easy for those that have never DONE. Home ownership in America is in the HIGH 60% I cant believe that that many morons actually have homes, knowing how dumb the average person is. Nothings FREE, owe but you know that and wish for government to rescue us? LOL your ideas will ruin us. First you need experience in what you are talking about, buy some wood, learn to hammer a few nails
Phoenix need to do something...Plus these people need to keep it clean just because your homeless you don't need to trash the area This is what make them so noticeable !tires, sofa,trash on the floors
Anyone of us can become homeless with just one situation
True
Get a job. People choose to be homeless for years because of free handouts.
@@cameronwells82 It is hard to get a job, when all of your stuff goes missing when you go. It is hard to get a job, when you have no means to keep clean. It is hard to get a job, when all people really want, is for you to go somewhere else to die.
@@protyusgames4741 excuses, excuses, guess we the tax players just have to subsidize your lazy existence the rest of your life.
Most people are one paycheck away from homelessness.
Like so many Americans, I have been homeless too.
I got out of the service and got into the bottle. I have had many people, organizations and government agencies try and help me. Until I wanted to help myself, I was going to wind up dead in an alley...
You gotta want to change and work for it. I will be the first to offer a hand up, not a hand out...
THAT'S what I am talking about.
AND I must say that as a Vet, the Providence VA has provided me with so many resources.
I now have a HUD/VA s. h. voucher, and a Social Worker so I never have to be homeless again.
There ARE resources out there.

@@AintSkeerdNWO I believe both of you Veterans, but there are some Vets that don't believe they deserve the help or that they shouldn't have to beg/ask the Gov for Assistance, especially Combat Vets with PTSD. I have a close family member who served as a Combat Vet. For more than 10 yrs, he was homeless by a Canal bank in California. About 4 yrs ago, the VA started giving him disability checks and now provide or pay for his apt today. Thank God and in my Opinion, NONE of YOU VETERANS should ever have to be homeless in this country. They need to make more Veteran Apt Complexes just for you ex Armed Forces Members and for whoever you want to live with you, no questions asked. You've all earned it, by sacrificing your time, safety, and willing to give your life for the rest of the Civilian society to feel safe from Enemies. I appreciate your Service, so have a blessed day and God Bless all our men and women currently in uniform and those of you, who once wore those uniforms. If America can afford to give Assistance to any other countries, than you all should be on the top of that list to get help from America..
Exactly!
I wish AA and NA were called to help these people. They have actually been there.
The woman in the RV and the guy in the boat are absolutely on drugs. And making and selling garbage street cartridges for money....that's literally drug dealing.
krista welch
in reply
the city professional people know this and it still continues
street cartridges what does that mean?
@AsTheWheelsTurn homemade vape pens that aren't just cannabis oil...they have all kinds of shit including fentynal in them.
Noooooo, I'm shocked
Good to see they're being productive. I'm sure what they're selling is safer than what the pharmaceutical mafia companies have been putting out.
Every new apartment unit that goes up in a luxury apartment, nobody is building a nice basic apartment for the people that can’t afford 1500 per month for rent. Average home here is 6500000 bucks. It’s crazy.
Exactly
I live in one of the most affordable real estate markets in the US and even here new builds start at 305k
No one is building multi units
They can build all the shelters they want, until they improve the way they're running it'll do zero good. Homeless do not go to shelters because they get robbed, raped, or assaulted half the time. They have literally told me flat out "I'm safer on the corner"
Absolutely this.
It's the same story in the UK, I'm a small and quiet teenage girl, they thought they could put me in an actual drug den. Barely managed a week in there, couldn't sleep at all cus of the noise and horrendous smell, was scared to even go to the toilet since it was a shared bathroom that was always busted up. I resorted to fleeing back to the street and found I slept better in a children's play park than that dump they put us in.
Shelters are just voluntary prisons. They have the same kind of element.
The common response from street squatters is, I can't ... because ...
@@cennamonzimt Gosh this is heartbreaking to read especially that UK charges such high tax. UK system is very different to one of America. America is way worse as it doesn’t even have universal healthcare, only country in G7 nations even to have no universal healthcare and costliest healthcare country. There’s no safety net in the US, and its principles are based on extreme capitalism, in another word extortion. UK charges much much higher tax and has it way better, or supposed to be. But it sounds like they aren’t doing a great job. I lived in the UK and the U.S. as well as other commonwealth countries like Canada etc. America is the worst among all developed countries in terms of social safety net, which is almost non-existent. Stay strong and surround yourself with positive people that inspire you. Hope all of our lives get better. Take care of yourself. ❤️🩹
BINGO!!!
Sad, had 2 NDE in my life and grateful for everyday. I look in the mirror and know there's no difference between me or them. Life choices and trials tribulations can lay heavy on the human soul 🤔
Prayers for you. We are not are past. We learn and better ourselves each and every day. You have the power to lift yourself. If only other members of the human race understood that sometimes we all need a hand up not a hand out. Best wishes for all.

well said
After covid bullcrap shut Downs my husband and I lost everything we lost our cars we lost our homes we lost our jobs and ended up homeless living in a tent neither are on drugs at all but we had no other options since the world shut down what were we supposed to do. And now the things are opening back up the price of rent is ridiculous no one can even afford to rent anything around where I'm at. We are living in an old hotel that they converted into Studios because here in Kissimmee Florida everything is three times the price that it was before the pandemic. I don't know what they expect people to! And everyone labels everyone that's homeless as a drug addict or have mental issues. Some of us just have regular normal lives without drugs and still can't afford to pay the housing prices.
It irritates me when people say oh because of Covid. No it was the government lockdowns and overreach that hurt people. The reaction to covid was worse than Covid
Ukraine$$$$$.. Americans nothing hmmm.
Damn shame many of our citizens have to go through this. I was fortunate enough to have people who helped me with temporary shelter when I was at my lowest point. I have helped ppl the same in kind. Not everyone is as fortunate. We need to be more Village minded in America and work together to help everyone have at least a basic and safer quality of life. This is unacceptable.
I've been homeless at a young age one day I seen a guy get frustrated at car he was working on I said can I take a look he said sure I turned a few screws his car started that started me off being a maintenance mechanic because after that Day I said I will never return here im 52 and still working not homeless getting ready to retire I saved up everything I made lived like a very stingy man every nickle and dime I can put away I can now I'm set to sit back and just enjoy my life now
Blessings on your retirement
You are from a different generation where people did try to find work but not much was available At times 20 to 30 years ago. Now jobs are plentiful but most people that are younger and homeless would rather start a GoFundMe Page to live off of someone else's money
👏👏👏 good job brother !
you sir .. are what EVERY HOMELESS PERSON SHOULD aspire to be .. but NONE of these useless homeless bums want work they want free money and continue to be lazy and useless doing drugs
@@joeblow26 There is some general truth to what you are saying, but now wages are not enough to live off of, and rents are unaffordable- things are harder now
Legally they're violating peoples rights forcing them to be imprisoned in a home.
This is not rocket science! We have the exact same situation - tent cities below many highway ramp/underpass areas.. here in New Orleans. We have insufficient lower priced housing units. Not enough support/social service. Detox, etc. Domestic violence counseling and intervention, leaving many women desperate after fleeing an abusive situation. Remember: Not all the homeless are strung out dopers or mentally ill. Some are people who have come upon incredibly tough times...
Not all....but most are
It is sad we catering illegals and not our own peoples!!!! 😭😭😭😭
Democrats don't care about Americans, it really is that simple.
give me a break, why don't you get out there and help them then. always blaming someone
if your so blessed help people
This ignoramus does not know all,the homeless are wyte people from southern republicans dumped here in California. Cali native POEPLE know how to work and are not lazy like them hills POEPLE being dumped here
The only illegals here came from Europe in ships , we are the actual natives here on this land ,our land pilgrims
It's not complicated. Open borders policies provide:
Rents going up (Demand)
Wages going down (Supply)
5:53 🤣🤣🤣 Phoenix PD says that when they went to help they gave out 44 tickets, arrested 8 people and helped 5. 🤣🤣🤣
"We're the government. We're here to help."
If they have open warrants , yes the cops should do their job .
My rent is 3200. Im single head of household, worked 3 jobs to pay for college, left without any debt. Life is hard for everyone these days
Anybody that pays 3200 for rent is insane,I live in Texas where 3200 would buy you a big house with pool and 3 car garage!
I have been homeless as well.. I would not want to wish this upon my worst enemy. Lose everything, being an "outcast" because people think they are better than you. Im sorry, only one that can judge is Our God. Blessed be to him, and have mercy on your actions.
And there it is, "Only Gawd can judge me!" And we wonder why there's a group of individuals strolling through life with this mindset of not wanting to be judged when we have the ability to judge those who are doing wrong. Because you all tend to enjoy being judged when you're doing good.
They don't have to be messy.. Keep the property clean❗ I pray they receive residential & financial aid 🙏💛

Hold on! So you're seeing that they're messy but you want them to receive residential & financial aid to mess that up? How do you think they have gotten where they are at?
You can pray all you want, but where are the churches? Too busy demanding members tithe that 10%.
This is the saddest thing I have seen. I live in AZ. And the poverty here is so awful. The education is ranked 48th and the opportunities are even lower than that. I pray these people regain their livelihoods, courage and hope! Fast before our summer hits. There is little hope at that point. 😢
our education is not ranked 48th.... the poverty here is far less than other big cities. that is why so many people flocking here. it is much better than other places. Plenty of opportunity as well. I am not sure what you are going on about.
@@AsTheWheelsTurn is Derpy AF, LOL
@@AsTheWheelsTurn You are correct. It's 46th. Maryland is ranked 14th and not 1 kid in 23 public schools could pass the math test. Google Baltimore public schools fail math test....if this isn't eye opening for you, nothing will be.

In my neck of the woods (in the Midwest), over the last several years, it seems like they've wanted to turn so much housing into condos or 1000+/month one bedroom apartments (while the crime is going up and the homeless population really hasn't decreased).

When homeless shelters get out of control that's another problem. Has anyone here ever see what goes on in a shelter? Lots of fights, drugs, viruses, abuse. What these people need is a personal home or apartment to start with and a program to get them working or lose the home or apartment so they are not just squatting for free. it's a fair exchange for shelter. Maybe they can even participate to build shelter for other homeless encampments.
I agree permanent supportive housing is the best way to end homelessness. With a program like this, rules to maintain the apartments and requirements to be working to get back on your feet must be enforced or else the apartments are going to become disgusting crack houses, they will end up homeless again and keep doing the same stuff that caused them to become homeless.

Arizona the Motorhome state in the USA...nothing new here and it will get worse. Buy a nice RV and you have to pay 50.00-120.00 a night at an RV park or boondock in the wilderness for free. RV camps jacking up their rates to keep the undesirables out. Owners of RV parks rather sell their property to a rich corporation then to sell their land to ppl living there so they can jack up their property taxes and utilities. .
Finally someone addressing the RV issue. Someone seeing what I tried to get 3 On Your Side to hear by my email to them last summer. Unless your RV is new your not getting a space to rent. There are waitlist for spots to rent. I was at Polk St and 25th Ave on the side of the road next to Jenna and her dogs. We were told we could rent spaces in a corner lot and then the Millionaire Christian owner came and gave us 1 day to get out. Who can find something in 1 day??? So Jenna and us went on the side of the road. That Christian man wasn't Christian he made it all way worse for us. If he was so Christian he could've made that whole lot into an RV Park but he didn't want to help just wanted to claim he's a good man use us to clean his property and throw us on the streets. The homeless get used because they are homeless. All I want is a place to park my RV WHERE I CAN KNOW IT WILL BE THERE SO I CAN GET A JOB AND NOT HAVE TO KEEP MOVING. JUST NEED A RV SPACE TO RENT!
They likely had a life of living with their friends, parent, girlfriends, family etc. Never had to worry about learning a real trade. Never had to go through the struggles of working 6 or 7 days week. Then, one day those options started running out & they were unable to take care of themselves. I know people in their 40s that have never had a job or even owned a car.

I have been homeless and unfortunately I will be again the way its looking. It is heartbreaking especially when a person has worked hard their entire life to have a nice home nice car nice things and thru other people's ugly evil actions they have their home taken and their things stolen. The realization everything you worked so hard for is gone and you are homeless is something so much bigger than the normal person is able to just get over. Your ability to deal with all that being homeless is takes so much and is so incredibly unimaginable. It is only going to get worse because nobody can afford to pay so much for everything. Greed and evil behavior by so many ugly people are taking over. The corrupt system has created a nation of "prison families." So many people have been incarcerated for the last 50 years that it's reased a country of prison thinking. That thinking has become normal and unacceptable has become the daily standard of living. Theives liars and brainless idiots..... no concept of manners integrity responsability courtesy friendship trust communication privacy boundaries personal space personal property honesty quality respect humility fairness humanity.....ya it's gonna get way way worse.

All you homeowners go live in a shelter then come back and give your ideas. Some now homeless were homeowners. There are a lot of contributing factors. People used to travel and live. Society has changed in attitude. Rents are thru the roof and real estate being bought up by corporations (all about profit)
They don’t have to. They invest their money in a place to live. That’s the difference people who paid for their place to live shouldn’t be responsible people who have not think about it. Do you want the government to get larger?
Lets' elaborate on the cititations they mentioned that were given to the homeless there. A simple question for their city council. How does this help those in dire need?
This can happen to anyone. I worked all my life made between 75 to 100k. Lost my job during Covid rent went from 950 to 1700. I couldn’t pay it got evicted. Finally got another job that pays half of what I used to make now stuck in a hotel because I have an eviction. Please don’t judge others you never know when it can happen to you. It differently has given me a new perspective.
Just curious. If you earned 75 to 100k and paid 950 per month in rent, did you save or invest your money? That's a lot of money you've made with very low rent to pay.
@@FreedomRingsTrue Don't forget that a good portion goes to pay Federal, State, and Local taxes. Along with the upkeep to keep a job at that wage level. Also with inflation being so high why would anyone want to save anything?

@@dcg590 making assumptions without asking isn’t ok. I owned a home for many years. I also helped people that were struggling and raised children while I was making good money.

I have traveled outside the US and noticed that other major cities do not allow homeless to pitch tents wherever they like. Other cities outside the U.S. generally seem to have evolved a practice where the homeless and non-homeless are segregated. Phoenix could copy and refine that approach and provide a separate, defined area of land, fence it off, and provide it with access to water, sewer, shade, electricity and other services. It could then require the homeless to live there where they could establish their tents and simple dwellings. In other words, create a ghetto for the homeless to go to. It seems like an obvious solution. Currently, the Phoenix homeless are creating unmanaged ghettos wherever they want on the streets and sidewalks and in front of people’s businesses. Every other major city in the world has a ghetto district so the homeless don’t have to pitch tents on the sidewalks and in front of businesses. Phoenix should manage the homeless problem by creating a designated homeless area.
Nooo..America will never copy any smart ideas from the civilized world . Americans "know it all" just ask them.Hopeless 3rd world country .No going back now.
they did that in seattle and have share shelters both are run by the homeless themselves. many homeless don't want to abide by any rules. drugs and partying are all they want. that is the biggest part of the homeless in seattle.we had part of the city taken over by the homeless and after a short time these woke resident of the chop zone started to kill and shoot each other. then it was the anti cop zealots who wanted to eliminate all police they turned our local qfc into there own private panty and just helped themselves to anything they wanted and no one stoped them. the common sense approach would be jail them but we can't do that. that's racist. the only thing that works is transformational power from a new life in the resurrection power of the living Christ as the Jews and Christians knew and some still do even at this dark hour.

6:10 Proof that these people overwhelmingly don't want to participate, contribute or even co-operate with their own recovery: Five people accepted "help" and more than ten times that number were cited or arrested for illegal activity.
Billions of our tax dollars go to a war in Ukraine, and billions to illegal immigrants. We can't help our own people get back on their feet. I was homeless at 18 because my childhood home was unsafe for me. Thankfully I had a job already because getting a job while living in a car with no address is impossible. Once you become homeless it's very hard to get out especially for those who don't have a vehicle. Many people can't afford rent on the lower income, and they're forced to live in a vehicle.
I'm telling you, if we as a nation don't take a long hard look at ourselves and our flaws. We'll all suffer the same fate, but by then it'll be illegal, subject to imprisonment.
That's coming
you people there are helping as much as you can better then any other state i have seen God Bless you there!
Ironic,the billboard in the background is for camping world.
Well they are not immigrants, so of course they can't stay.
Facts
They will destroy any housing we put them in because unsheltered street homeless are fentanyl addicts. It is an extreme addiction with extreme anxieties and pain. We will never reduce street homelessness without reducing the amount of fentanyl and other nasty synthetic chemicals available on our streets. Make no mistake about this. Fentanyl and P2P based meth destroy humans mentally and physically beyond the point of repair very quickly. Other nasty chemicals are in street pills are: rat poison, horse tranquilizer, sedative benzo, wasp dope, and many others.
Street homeless steal food from grocery stores unopposed. Police doesn't even show up for anything related to street homeless unless they spill blood, and employees are instructed to ignore store theft. They steal other items they can quickly sell for fentanyl. That stealing is called boosting. All money given to panhandlers goes for fentanyl pill popular blues M30.
@@sarbantz That's not true. They have had plenty homeless people before this fentanyl problem. Sure some of them are, but there are plenty homeless families and elderly people, along with people who don't do drugs. There is a serious homeless problem in this country. Why would you just want to put them all in one category? You really sound like you are closed minded.
@@shoobadoobayou3008 fentanyl showed up in 2012, and cause street unsheltered homelessness to skyrocket everywhere. There are other reasons for street homelessness, but fentanyl and plethora of other nasty synthetic chemicals are the number one.
@@sarbantz I am aware of when fentanyl showed up. I know when Crack showed up and a lot of other drugs. Homelessness is not new either. With lots of people losing their jobs because of the pandemic, there are now a lot of people without mental or drug issues homeless. There are a lot of people struggling right now. It doesn't take a lot to become homeless.
When homeless becomes a crime, it's the action of tyrants that makes it possible.
Living in an RV is not the same as homeless...
Leave them alone they don't have anywhere to go
Heartbreaking 💔
Anyone can become homeless 💔
Just one paycheck away from homelessness I got a cold last Tuesday and I missed 3 days of work I hope I can make rent month
Why does the homeless community destroy where ever they are with trash and junk just everywhere?!? It is awful
Bingo! The pigs can’t even pick up after themselves, and then play the “there’s no jobs” victim card? The reason rent is high, is because these same people move in and destroy the place, leaving the tenant high and dry. I know this personally, as a few of our tenants are on the dole, and have ZERO pride or respect for the inside and outside of the apartment. They leave trash everywhere, and then call to bitch and complain about the rodent infestation? Even had the exterminator show up and sat them down explaining the cause and effect of not collecting their garbage for disposal every Tuesday??? After a week, they were back at it. Once they’re gone, it will be a total gut job, in which the rent will double so we don’t ever have to deal with these types again.
Y'all need to worry about lowering rent so it can be less homeless people let's be frl
The problem here is GREED! You can't have empathy and compassion when greed runs the show! If we allow the corporate world to police itself we will never get our fair share! Greed has no end until it's all gone!
Disagree. When govt takes a third of your income (and more from businesses you have to buy products and services from) and gives it away to the war machine, subsidies, foreigners, then pockets the rest, it is obvious. The corporate world, while not very nice, at least produces something. Try starting a biz without getting raked over the coals of governmental red tape & ridiculous fees (especially in the big cities) - can't do it unless already rich. Far more the govt is to blame than businesses, especially here.
In all honesty, the surrounding neighborhoods are worried about their homes values 😂. They don’t want that equity to drop
