The owner of the property is so correct 💯 as long as Central Christian Church continues to provide food for the homeless, homeless people are going to stick around forever
No he is gaslighting. That property should have been developed long ago, then this issue would not have existed. If they cannot develop the property now, they need to sell it. And no, they should not write off losses. That is one reason why we have a affordability crisis right now.
@carsi7282 clearly you don't go out because the bums are everywhere, stupid stop gaslighting 🤷♂️
@@carsi7282 $50,000 a year to have one homeless person on our streets, thank you taxpayers.
I don't think they actually feed the homeless at that church location. They work with other non profits to provide food for families who can't make ends meet or anyone who needs it. I have never seen them distribute food from that location, I could be wrong, but I have never seen any distribution of food, only events related to holidays in which you have to have a vehicle to access. Even if they do provide food for the community there, they are seeing the humanity in people and not judging them for their situation. There is nothing, absolutely nothing wrong with helping people. There is something very wrong with refusing to help people because more people might need your help. Furthermore, I have lived in this area for 12 years, and the homeless have used that spot consistently since I have lived here. I would argue that there are other reasons the homeless use this spot consistently. For example: They have easy access to bus lines off of boulder HWY which can take them to downtown easily (where they also feed the homeless)- should we shut down the bus lines because the homeless use them too?-- They are close to some sort of water source (albeit inconsistent and very dirty) - should we just forget our flood and water system because it is too easy for homeless to use the infrastructure for their benefit? they are close to bike paths that can take them the wetlands or other areas across the city,- maybe we should just get rid of those paths that lots of people use who cannot afford a vehicle or prefer to bike.... There are multiple large parks with public restrooms close by (even closer than Central Church). Should we demonize the park department for having public restrooms too? No more parks - sorry kids-- The homeless use the restrooms, and so long as there are restrooms at the park, the homeless will stick around forever. Seriously, this is the core logic in your argument which is basically-- Stop providing any service to the community if the homeless can use it too... sheesh. It is upsetting how many people on this thread are cold and unempathetic.
@@kb9653 Compassion has become extinct in this country.
Stop feeding them. They are so entitled it's disgusting. The guy says I got no warning. Dawg it ain't yo property. Get off someone else's land.
yea, and with those nice sunglasses he prob stole too
@@baldisaerodynamic9692sunglasses are pretty cheap you jackass.
So you want people to starve huh? You’re going to hell for sure.
and vote better.
City blaming the property owners? They have fenced the property and they get torn down. Black guy upset he’s getting kicked off PRIVATE property with signs saying no trespassing.
😂
Passing the blame, don’t wanna enforce the law unbelievable
I live on the east side, huge problem for years 😢
DRUGS ARE THE PROBLEM
Come out of prison with a prison record, who will hire you?
No, mental health IS THE PROBLEM! Think about it? What kind of mindset would you have to have to pack some stuff up and live on the streets? Yes, drugs are part of the issue and they are there to mask their mental health issues!
@@michaelellringer5600Don’t go to jail and you won’t have a problem! One commonality with criminals they are all weak minded and have LOW IQs! You have to be STUPID to commit crimes and think it’ll turn out to be a great life for you! 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣💩4️⃣🧠!
Blame the pharmaceuticals who pushed their products decades ago.
PLANT SOME CACTUS.
I love this idea.
they will just cut them out. because entitlement.

And drive them elsewhere, perhaps to Henderson or Summerlin! Great idea!
Yes for some shade for the Homeless🤦🏻♂️
homeless guy: its not fair.....hey clown!!! its not your property!!!!!!!!!!!!
the public has no more patience with these people. they are costing everyone else money, they play in traffic, they squat and complain, they piss off customers and keep them away. etc. no, the public has no more patience for them anywhere at this point.
Tell your people to fix it.
Wow, ever hear of the term “Capitalization?”
The owner interviewed said there was a church across the street. Jobs are everywhere; these "will nots" prefer charity. Cities need to outlaw charity and private do-gooders providing support. Everybody is a victim now days!
Hold on there Scrooge. Maybe certain charities. The do gooders aren’t just feeding the homeless
I sure hope you don’t get any sort of government assistance at all in your life
And who going to hire someone with a prison record? To even get a job working at a restaurant in Vegas you need a health card: $350
The local church needs to let them camp on their lawn or parking lot. Maybe let them set up in the pews? Show some compassion, church goers!
Calls JP's Junk Removal they specialize in keeping vacant lots cleared of Homeless encampments
Endless supply of homeless in every big city. Drug addiction, mental illness, and other issues. The decline of the United States continues! 🤢🤮
And how many will hire someone with a prison record?
Too many people in general. The higher the population grows, the more people enter homelessness.
Meanwhile we send BILLIONS overseas to fight other peoples wars for them while we stick our middle finger up to AMERICANS! When are we going to put America first?
@@michaelellringer5600Don’t go to jail! EASY SOLUTION!
@@DMKFACTOR The most brilliant criminals will never get caught!
If the cities and states cant do a damn thing about it , why would a property owner with no power expect to do anything
give em all a one way ticket to cleveland ! they need people over there ,more the better
Well, the guy's last remark; that the homeless come because the church feeds them. So they plop down. How do we put our country back to work? We have vast tracts of land empty of people.
Cant help bums/crack heads that 10 out 10 don’t wanna work. Why would they, when they don’t have to work for the basic thing needed to survive.
much of it owned by someone...so until public land gets dedicated for homeless use, this will continue. and then guess who has to pay for that...the taxpayers. because im sure they wont be the cleanest folks.
It costs taxpayers $50,000 a year to have one homeless person on our streets!
If my mother-in-law had not helped us by a home at the low interest rates in 2021, we wouldn't be able to afford current rental prices! I don't know how people are surviving now - with investment companies buying up all starter homes. We got out bid for eight moves in ready homes. We had to buy a fixer upper to get into home and spend $10K to clean up the house. Our house payments are less than a current one bed apartment! This isn't Biden - it's greedy Corporate investment companies that can out bid a young home buyer with cash!
What does this have to do with bum setting up tents on private property? Doing drugs, throwing trash on ground, etc?
@@freedom9611 That property should have been developed when the roads, water, sewer and power was operational. Then there would not be this problem. Now they can't do anything because the costs are too high!?. All this time they have paid lower taxes, wrote off losses and played the opportunity game. Meanwhile other property owners, business owners, and workers have had to pay higher taxes to offset what thisundeveloped property hasn't paid. This stupid practice unstopped by incompetent bribed politicians crisis has led to this unaffordibility practice. Don't buy an urban property ready for development if you cannot afford to build on it immediately . Financial lender must be barred for allowing this to happen to. But it is probably alreay too late, this country is insolvent
@@carsi7282go sit in the corner & shit up, stupid
They wanna build that new baseball field but no new shelters yet.
What for
How about handout job applications seeing how these druggies just want freebies
I wish someone would go through and at least put the pups in foster homes, i hate seeing dogs suffering on the streets like that.
Yeah take em to summerlin
Take them to your house.
Release the poisonous snakes lol
Stupid. They get bitten by a poisonous snake, then they go to the hospital where your taxes pay for the treatment. Just dumb!!!
really
😂
Shame on you. Yes, they are wrong, but they are people as well. They should make a plan to build affordable homes for people experiencing homelessness, and they need to help the property owner clean up the area. Whoever is in charge.
@@ClarisNdoroRealEstate So they are in tents because homes aren’t affordable? I’m okay with my taxes going towards “affordable communities… “If” 1. They pass a drug test each month. 2. They work and contribute their taxes towards economic growth, even if it’s a low paying job as long as they contributing. 3. If they can’t find a job, they at least show 3 applications applying for a job each month, but if they can’t do those 3 things….why should people who are working pay for “affordable living” out of their taxes for others who aren’t putting in effort?
You can clear it, if you own the land you have a right to defend it. Get a paint ball pow pow and defend it.
Wonder if they will send more voting ballots to those lots again in the upcoming election 😂 homeless peeps gotta vote too 😅
The CCC is the main factor for the attraction. There are other lots of empty land nearby on Stephanie and Galleria that doesnt have ANY HOMELESS or trash at all.
Owners need to keep the land free from unnecessary weed/bush growth enabling the homeless to hide. Either sell or develop the land if its too much to maintain it as undeveloped land. If thats not their goal to sell or develop then put REAL fences around the property. Its a joke whats being used to prevent trespassing.
I’m okay with my taxes going towards “affordable community living” “If” 1. They pass a drug test each month. 2.

I would support some kind of living assistance so they aren’t on streets. “If” they can do those 3 things each month!
3 a month? more like 3 a DAY.
What would they be working towards? A home of their own (not rental), family, vacations, retirement? for 3 decades now paychecks have not kept up. If you make $30000 a year, what house with a yard cad you afford to buy? We're talkin generational wealth. Now a couple starting out making $100000/year combined cannot bid against investment groups to buy a started home. This is a crisis.
And how many employers will not hire someone with a prison record?
@@carsi7282 owning a home is not the only investment strategies. Cost of a home isn’t a reason to not work and setting up tents on people’s land
Biden's America
Lombardo’s Nevada
Yeah I don’t think Biden has anything to do with this.
lol a man lives in your head rent free
@@mikeshafer 95 billion dollar in aid sent to Ukraine under Biden's administration. That money could have been given to American communities to help out with a multitude of issues we are facing right now. One of them is homelessness.
@@mikeshafer 95 billion sent to Ukraine instead to American communities...
homeless people can have a new home in prison. It is easy.
One homeless person costs taxpayers $50,000 a year and $50,000 a year to have one person in our prisons!
@@michaelellringer5600I’d rather pay for them to be there than to clog up our streets and parks. We can’t even enjoy public services because homeless people are everywhere.
@@MichaelInTheDesert I never miss an opportunity to talk to the homeless, some of the most interesting, intelligent people you'll ever want to talk to. When I lived in Sinless City (DI/Pecos) I used to bike down to Boulder HWY, at nite, just to talk to them and hand out a few dollars and water bottles.
This country and city has a horrible problem with not enforcing certain laws they want to make new laws when they don’t even inforce the laws we have homeless encampment is illegal. I didn’t make the law but that’s the law , how’s 3 warning, then finger print , and jail .As long as the punishment isn’t worse than the crime it’ll never ever change . At least follow the if there beds at shelter jail or Shelter there’s 150 beds today
Perhaps the church should offer its parking lot for homeless camping...what church is involved ? Private property owners shouldn't have to pay the exorbitant price.
This exact camp is a homeless vortex known the world over that baffles scientists and locals alike
Send them to New York
I love how the city forces the homeless to move to the outer edges and place full blame on land owners! The city should be held accountable! It's their mess they should be forced to clean it up and find housing for the homeless instead of funding illegal aliens!
this is how a utopian liberal states looks like
It’s a republican governor for fks sake
Hows the 🌪 in The midwest going?
No. its feudalism. Corporate feudalism.
most of the homeless are losers from red states. red is synonymous with poverty. get a clue.
There's no liberals in NV or Las Vegas!
That's what's churches are for to help the down and out , that's what Jesus did read your Bible.
yet the church doesnt let them squat on GODS property.....
@@baldisaerodynamic9692 That is the insurance companies and local government who used building restrictions and 'standards' so they cannot do that.
Judgement day id coming America
This is a shame though we were in America
Right don't make no sense
It is the result of end stage Capitalism.
Make it illegal to feed or otherwise incentivize homelessness.
And those with prison records where no employer will hire them?
@@michaelellringer5600 ‘Don't do the crime if you can't do the time’
@@robinbabcock4620 And a released inmate gets a good laugh as a homeless person costs taxpayers $50,000 a year. Most of those costs come from Emergency room visits, hospitalizations, rehab, prescription drugs. Prisons, both direct and indirect costs, $50,000 a year! Pick your poison!
Omg put a EV super charger there make some money every day rather then losing thousands.
We should just build huge open air prisons out in the desert and move all of the homeless there. We give them food, water, WiFi, shelter and medical. They can stay as long as they want safely. As a taxpayer I would be ok with that plan. The alternative is … well you can see it for yourself right here !
Maybe getting 2 or 3 jobs wouldn’t hurt
@@freedom9611 Would you hire one of these homeless people with a prison record? NO!
I predict homelessness will grow exponentially. Ask A.I. what to do about homelessness
National average, it costs taxpayers $50,000 a year to have one homeless person on our streets.
@@michaelellringer5600 Well there’s a business opportunity. Get them off the streets for less. But Christian values kick in. The stereotype they’re just lazy and love getting high.
Help them make air conditioning small homes stop being selfish spend the money were it's needed please
What can the elected politicians do? Their job. Set time lines for urban properties to be developed in infrastructured areas. Eliminate corporate and business tax writeoffs for undeveloped properties and add high undeveloped fines if not developed by the due date. Undeveloped urban properties that have the urban infrastructure ready for development should not be 'holdings' that causes loads higher costs for real taxpayers, real homeowners, real properties with building on them. I fyou don't the financing to buy the property adn develop, don't buy the property. How many cases do we see where corporations and investment numbered businesses 'sell & buy = trade' undeveloped lots in ready areas to enhance their bottom lines by writing off losses until they sell high. It's led to this unaffordability crisis & bubble we are in. Enough. This is feudalism! The property owner needs to develop this property now or sell it to someone who will develop it now. Intentions are not good enough. This poor practice crisis by inept bribed elected officials across this nation had led to our unaffordability crisis.
BSC! BSC! BSC! BSC! BSC!
Its like 400 tornadoes came through in a span of 3 1/2:weeks.
This year is going to be worse than the last, no doubt about it. Due to poor investment decisions that I would not have made if I hadn't been so concerned about my portfolio, I lost a significant amount of money last year. I continued to invest, but I was undecided about whether to begin making house payments. I eventually sold my positions, and the house required more work than I had anticipated. I'm not sure how much longer I can continue in this way.
Everybody has made mistakes in the past. Think about financial security.
A diverse range of exposures, particularly companies that are currently producing cash flows, are essential for your portfolio. I hired a planner in late 2022, and because of their portfolio makeover, I have made well over half a million dollars in profits in ten months across multiple markets. Planning for worst case scenarios should be addressed while things appear to be getting better.

Of course, blame the Church for homelessness

So many comment blaming the church who is actually doing the charity work religious organization are supposed to be doing and the reason for religious tax exemptions. Helping their local neighbours who are poor, fringes of society. I know, so unexpected of a religious church doing what it's suppose to. Most of the religious industry puts on a show for tax exemptions, they ship charity far away outside the eye of scrutiny and buy property, art, investments, build obscene temple private clubs only for themselves. No, that church isn't the problem. The problem is that property hasn't been developed. It was held onto for the tax writeoff and financial opportunism. This has lead to the unaffordability crisis we all suffer now. There must be development deadlines in areas that have the infrstructure installed and ready to go. Otherwise the tax burden of societal problems are unfairly imposed on real homeowners, real businesses and socialized on society.
If you cannot afford to buy an urban property with installed infrastructure and develop it within a short timeline, don't buy the property. New deadlines and rules must be imposed in urban areas and on financial lending institutions.
How stupid are you, exactly 🎤
Break ground as soon as possible but yet casinos are built quicker than ive ever seen and the shit they build is all for seniors !!!! How in tf does that help ?!?!?!?! Its bot just seniors who are homeless !!!!! Or are they choosing to ignore that too smh vegas is a shitty shitty place
homeless are everywhere across this country! I blame it on the drug epidemic and honestly... laziness. I live in a nice area and the homeless are aggressive, pan handling because they made it legal saying people should be able to make $$ the way they want. I wrote to the city where I live about them banging on cars and yelling and blocking traffic, drug deals and openly urinating in the bushes and on sidewalks. They sent a resource officer out and they wrote me back saying they were "regulars" and they refused help. 2 years later the same people are out there blocking traffic with their "anything helps" signs. Yet i saw one take a bite of food someone gave him and throw it on the ground. People buy them food and full fast-food meals unwrapped are on the ground. its awful! and they do have resources they just don't take advantage of them.
Also the people that bought the land planned to build a home for seniors.... it would be a large and complicated undertaking to build a place for homeless. They did that in FL and now the neighbors are seeing an influx of drugs, car break ins and violence. I'm not trying to be mean but if someone is homeless there is a reason they don't have friends and family letting them sleep on their couches. Think about people you know, if you were about to get evicted do you honestly think the people you know would let you sleep in a tent in the desert? These people have things they are struggling with and have to decide for themselves when enough is enough. They do have resources available.
And i have someone in my family who was homeless. He had so much help but long story short friends and family bent over backwards for him, let him sleep on their couches and spare rooms for years but he was so entitled and acted like the world owed him stuff and he didn't want to work even though he had someone who was trying to help him & hired him with no set schedule, he could work when he wanted, any day he wanted and get paid under the table. He quit & told his boss to go f*ck himself when his boss asked him to cut a piece of wood different. One person who let him live rent free with them, asked him to leave when he lost his temper and refused to pay for groceries, and he refused to leave and they were afraid to try to kick him about because of his temper.
Has either of you ever been homeless ?
I was before and thank god im not there anymore most people dont accept the resources because of the conditions of some of these places that they say help it’s dangerous you sleep near literally strangers to you some are thieves killers or even sex offenders….How safe would either of you feel to sleep next to someone like that ?! And not know anything! So alot of them feel its better to set up camp around the city where they can try to establish some type of life. Furthermore these places won’t get involved in disputes involving the homeless until AFTER THE FACT what good does that do these places need more security and food and shelter helps these people but after they eat and already had a good sleep its then up to them to figure the rest out and thats harder for others sometimes when its a person with no identification no family no money so what do they do they sleep until the next meal and should we blame them or the city of vegas for dropping the ball they seen this coming but there are no resources for the homeless nothing but food and a place to sleep with them wandering the streets all day no where to go and nothing free to them at least to get them to a better place in life and back on they feet its not just the homeless alot of it comes from vegas pidd
And homelessness is all over but im not from here but back home there was never a big problem like ive seen out here with homelessness and i had never been homeless until i moved here. Blame those who have the complete authority to help open more doors for these people and change things and just doesn’t….it’s definitely a growing probably thats only getting bigger by vegas tryna ignore it.
@@MareMarMarie you cant speak on a issue you have never went thru personally yourself because your comment seems like your talking down about them they are still human have feelings and are pretty strong people (the ones that try at least) to still push forward and not give up in such a stressful point of they’re lives so to me that alone is commendable. Who cares that they throw a burger away that was given to them they are still people and thats they’re right to do so that person probably had already eaten earlier or didn’t like something on it who cares after it was given its his business to do wtf he wants to do with it and if your that concerned to watch a person and see what they do with a burger that was given to them sounds like you got too much time on your hands
