      Judge not lest ye be judged. Not everyone is playing with same deck of cards, my friend. The GOP (party of millionaires supporting the billionaires) have gotten it in the heads of the lower class and middle class that these people are “looking for handouts”. It’s more nuanced and complicated. And what about a living wage? In 1996 the average American minimum wage was $7.25. What it is today, 25+ years later? You guessed it, $7.25. The elite millionaire and billionaire class needs to start paying their share.

      Except if you’re trapped in rural. This is a fav California approach to new high rise low income apartments currently. They are also for no parking lots for the new construction of these type builds. That might be a great solution for home bounds that prefer isolation, or bicyclists. Think about riding a bus or bicycle to grocery shop. You can bring home what you can carry. Then there’s other services that need to be sought for maintenance of daily life. Idk. If its not majorly successful a key to that might be access to services.

    So many neighbors around this site are nimby advocates, when the homeless need this site and many more to stay at so they have a stable address while looking for work... not camping on the street or in the bushes.

    If you haven't been without a house before it's hard to understand that literally all you need or want at that point is a place with a roof, walls, a door that locks, and access to a bathroom. And there is no other options like that period. Outside the city be damned, as long as there's a bus line and I can get to a job, I'm good. Lots of people literally just need a few weeks and they are good, but being left out on the street, things can spin out of control fast, and they could end up stuck. Not saying this should be settled for if we are really trying to make progress. Some people on the streets will always need some amount of assistance due to mental illness, and disabilities. They should have a place to be that isn't jail, it's sick that they dont. They are just left to rot in squalor. But this shelter project is very good actually.

      Force people to get help for their addictions. Introduce them to Christ so they can experience the love of Jesus and be healed from their demons weather emotionally mentally or spiritually❤
      We a Christianity out of schools to Christianity pretty much out of everywhere
      We wonder why people are living on the streets.
      This is what happens when you tell people your truth is your truth. This is what happens when we tell people you're okay the way you are you don't need to find healing
      I have every right to say this because I was one of those people.
      I grew up in poverty I had the most horrific background you can possibly imagine. By the grace of Jesus himself I wound up going to church.
      That was the best thing my mom ever did for us. Thank God none of us wound up homeless. Praise Jesus that we're all doing pretty okay we're not rich but we're not homeless.
      I'm writing from another country. I've got three more years to pay off my student loans.
      Trauma doesn't have to destroy the rest of your life. We don't have to turn to drugs alcohol and promiscuous relationships.
      There's a reason Jesus says run from evil and temptation. A lot of times we don't always have a choice when we're kids but I guarantee you if you grab a hold of Jesus and you follow these principles your life can be turned around.
      The most unloving thing you can do for someone is not tell them when you see that they're living a dangerous life
      It's pretending that everything's okay when they desperately need freedom and deliverance❤❤
      Religion can't save you only Jesus can. Please repeat and give your life to him before it's too late.

    There should be no resistance to using this. You arrest those who refuse to move off the sidewalks and they either use sites like this or they get out of town.
    As far as the complaints-the homeless already live in filthy piles of trash as it is, shooting up next to buckets of feces....and people complain about a clean organized tiny home village. They dont even have to stop drinking and doing drugs to live here!. No expectations, no rules, no restrictions. Free electricity, water, a roof. And STILL people complain. This country is unbelievable..no wonder nothing ever gets done. We have a whole class of drug addicted alcoholics and mentally ill/drop outs who cannot get their lives together and when we make an effort to bring them some comfort it's STILL not enough for some people.

    These people need Transportation particularly! Water? Heat? WiFi (necessary to connect with services and jobs as well as friends and family). It is no longer a luxury for the employed or comfortably retired, it is a necessity on the order of telephone only more so!). What is being provided? If any of these homeless want jobs, how will they get from this roof over their heads to that job? The small space looks larger than the tents I’ve seen, but, even though I’m an indoor loving person, the lack of seeing the outdoors and breathing fresh air would keep me in a funk.
