People watch what happens. Look at the photos of people at soup kitchen food lines. There warning suits and ties.new world order so soon as the rich are broken down. Another new world order? The rich become home less and we are going to have to take care of them history over and over. 😮
This is about San Francisco because it's where most of my experience is but its somewhat replicated all over the bay area. Its about leadership, authority, priorities, and focus. Here is a little insight (THE SORT VERSION) from someone who has worked in almost every aspect of the provider system and been places, seen things, provided services where 99% of people never have. There is not one hospital with an on staff social service intake officer available 24hrs a day, not even county, also the level 1 trauma center. None of the hospitals have a dedicated social service intake and or provider office within the ED department, no office= no dedicated ED onsite personal, meaning no client contact, no resource information distribution when they need that and intervention most. These social service provider choices put additional pressure on the ED medical staff. Pressure that they don't need within an already stressed emergency department workplace. The "respite" center aka where you take those to drunk to walk but with no emergent medical need to sleep it off. That center has no displayed service provider info, no reps from service providers, no substance abuse counselors, no housing placement reps, no shelter reps, you can't even get a map of where shelters are there if you wanted to, an overworked nurse who usually lacks emergency department nursing certification, inadequate hygiene facilities, and dangerously understaffed security. Example the federal governments reimbursement for administering methadone to heroine addicts is so high, and set up in a manner so that it actually penalizes clinics for reducing patient dosing so much that they don't, and if they did as one is supposed to they would be forced to close. I have had multiple patients on the same incredibly high methadone dosing for over a decade. Who does this system benefit? Big Pharma and the manufacturers of methadone and its related pharmacopeia. Who pays for all of it taxpayers. Who set it up this way congress members bought by and under the direction of Big Pharma. This is a brief look at the social service provider system and the often counter productive, anti collaborative, corrupt, deliberately provider isolated, inadequate framework they are forced to work within.
This is NYC and the rents here are always sky high. I studied law in the Univ of Santa Clara. ( circa early 80s.) It 's really sad to see many in the Bay Area in such a destitute condition. BTW, the NYC subway system and THE JUNGLE (in San Jose) have alot in common.
Clearly, the solution is to import as many "undocumented immigrants" as possible. Whenever you see a homeless problem, the immediate reaction should be increase the population as much as possible to solve it.
Well you can’t vape but you can shit in the streets! Democrats are the down fall! Actually it’s the fools that voted for them but your head is so full of shit you can understand it you ignorant fool!
it's very hard but i hope that i would not be homeless but the rent is going up every month or every 6 month's and it's not fair and we me and my brother are trying our best to keep out head of above the water but it's hard and they need to keep the rent down so we can pay our Bill's and our car notes etc and etc and so thats why a lot of people go homeless because they can't afford there apts or houses.
There's an architect with the last name Campion. Years back, he was doing creative research on designing shelters for the nation's homeless.I'd like to hear what he came up with. After viewing and hearing their own words, I began trying to understand why so many homeless prefer a box under a bridge, exposed to the elements over a "homeless shelter" and came up with several issues: shelters receive funds but misappropriate them (one patron's words); shelters require their own schedules which don't usually correspond with the patrons' needs and desires; they're invasive, rigid; they're available for nights only--patrons must leave through the day. My idea couldn't possibly be as grand as Mr. Campion's; however, I think it suits many of the needs and personalities of the homeless: structures made of steel framing, reliable roofs, concrete foundations divided into cubicles of plexiglass that don't quite touch the concrete floor (for power-washing the cubicles as tenants leave improving bug infestations and contamination). Structures could be designated for males, females, families and cubicles could be accordingly sized to fit. Totally enclosed, private, segregated (male/female) restrooms form the center of the structures. These structures would meet many of the homeless folks' complaints and provide a degree of autonomy since there'd be no limit on how long they could stay. Cubicles would be designated to persons as long as they needed them. There'd be large bins for trash/garbage and cooking/grilling options outside the structures: individuals, families could cook for themselves or they could take turns cooking for the entire structures' occupants.If available, they could still receive relief to cover food. If occupants wanted, they could bring their tents and boxes into their cubicle or cover the walls of their cubicles with newspaper, etc. It seems homeless folks co-exist fairly well with each other; that would be expected to continue. These cubicles would be free of charge with space outside for anyone wanting to grow vegetable gardens. And, of course, land for these structures. My idea, I'm sure, needs tweeking, but maybe it's an option.
I saw this coming years ago. All my friends moved away from the Bay Area as they were priced out. Some moved far inland while others moved out of state to the Pac NW and places further east like Texas and Tennessee. I escaped to Idaho and then Wyoming. Thankfully I am happy, living well and the wife and I live debt-free well within our means. We couldn't do that in California. The Cali politics and idiocy of the far left culture drove me and my friends off the "Cali Crazy Train". Now out of Cali and life is good.
you are right to say the rents have gone up, and many good upstanding renters are being forced out ,but that is not the reason these meth heads are homeless. 10 yrs ago I helped a man get an apartment in a cheaper bay area town that he lived in while homeless. He kept the apartment for one month the decided he couldn't keep paying for an apartment and getting his drugs, so he chose to be homeless so that he could get the drugs. he admitted he would rather have the drugs than a roof over his head.
Jon Warner you are PERFECT example of responsible living within ones means. C O N G R A T U L A T I O N to You and your Bride. Life solutions are rather easy, maybe NOT always enjoyable. We can ALL get through this, many options / choices just make the decision that fits the persons WALLET.
*1 of 4* Cities can eliminate homeless tent encampments by replacing them with *Homeless Shelter Villages* [HSV] using _Pallet Shelter's_ existing *Homeless Shelter Village* [HSV] components. The _Community Room_ sells for $37,000 and serves as a shared laundry room, restaurant, *child daycare center,* and addiction services center. The _Bathroom_ cost $35,000 and the _Services Office_ costs $9,000. So for only $81,000 a city can establish a *Homeless Shelter Village* [HSV]. The 10'X10' *Camping Cube Sport Pop Up Tent* that costs only $120 provides protection from the elements; for two people and their belongings.
I have PTSD from severe traumatizing events along with physical trauma, but that doesn't give me justification to be a criminal or use drugs, lazy not work or anything else. no more excuses.
So San Jose felt shamed when the homeless encampment, The Jungle, made national news. So they spent city money to kick them out, help some of them (yes, only some), and forget the rest. Now the 7000 displaced homeless folks are spread through San Jose making new smaller encampments that are not being addressed and will grow into more "Jungles". SMDH. San Jose representatives are failing at their jobs.
I lived in the area 40 years ago. Nice but big pop. No homeless then like now. Very amazing to see this. I will live in a small town thank you and not in Cal. Old now and have no energy to deal with big city problems. nor do I want to be around it. Let the young folks figure it out.Good luck and God bless.
true...but ALSO they have spread throughout the bay area . There has been a huge influx of the homeless druggies to Concord in last few years. They are also being sent by alta bates hospital in Oakland TO John Muir in Concord, (yes there is proof of this) and guess what.....once here...THEY STAY. Concord is a mess now and police do nothing. But homeless advocate programs do...….oh yes...…. they give all sorts of free stuff to the drug abusers and the drug abusers turn right around and they throw it in the street, at oncoming cars, in your yard, all over storefronts, anywhere they can just to make a mess while in their doped up mind... I know there are a few very few out there who need help and are not trouble, but most of them ARE T R O U B L E
We only make about a 1000.00 a month more then this guy in the trailer. We own a 23 hundred sq. ft. Home. No morgage. Have 2 cars and a truck. Totally out of debt. We do not live in California, thank God. There are much cheaper places to live in the US. I know it isnt the case in every bodies life. But alot of this is due to drug and alcohol use. You'll never have anything if you are on drugs and alcohol.
"The Shelter wants me to get up at 6 o'clock and my body cant handle it" Most of us get up at 6am so we can make it to work . My body doesnt like it either. Its time for tough love. Military work camps. No drugs , alcohol or smoking. Daily work details , like cleaning up the streets etc. If that doesnt work for you , you can leave society. Its America , its your choice. But taxes pay for your sidewalks and parks, so there off limits, etc.
No one is able to run away from city to city for an affordable house or rent when the housing price is keep rising without control ! Housing, clothing and food are basic needs for all human beings. Demanding for the strict control of all housing and rental at the reasonable and affordable prices !!!
If you can't afford to live somewhere then move to somewhere you can afford. OIC: Thousands of people are homeless because they are bums. STOP FEEDING THEM and they will go away.
this guy bought a "mobile home" -he dwells in a "mobile home " so he's not "homeless" . also its a gd mess esp to allow its interior to be filmed like this ,wtf's wrong with this picture??
14:10 He says _every_ year they spend $120 million on housing, and $50 million on outreach, etc. 14:45, She says despite spending all that money, over the past 10 years homeless population has remained steady at about 6500. Let's see now. Simple math says 170 million / 6500 = $26,153.84 per person per year. Where I live, a duplex with each side having 3 bedrooms and two baths can be built for $250,000. That would house 6 people comfortably, more if married family. For 120 million, 480 homes could be built, housing 6 people each, totalling 2880 people. So, in 3 years, enough homes could be built to house all 6500 homeless. Yet, 10 years later, they still have 6500 homeless. The question is then, do they actually want to get rid of the problem? Because it seems there's not a lack of money being spent. By my calculations, the money being spent could provide basic food and shelter and job placement. The problem is who's spending the money. Private charity yields a better result than government every time it's tried. Please, get government out of the charity business. Government will never fix a problem that is the basis on which it usurps power (and money) from the citizens. This is a lesson we must learn. We need to demand term limits, reduce the power of government, and return charity to the hands of individuals, private civic organizations and churches.
Why not move to another state? California is ridiculously expensive. There are states that are "cheap" (compared to CA) and actually need more population. I know moving costs $$ but after living like this for few months, I'd do anything I can to get out and start again somewhere else. This is sad beyond words. :(
i think a lot of people end up not having enough time to move out before their evicted and after your evicted once your basically put on a blacklist for renters
Emergency Shelter. Do not build what you want for the homeless, build what you can. Get human wastes and needles off your streets then you can work on what you want the people to have. Simple concrete boxes fitted with inside locks on their doors, massed produced with a central sanitation building and a dumpster. Make no rules, no schedules, don't even keep track of who is in what box. Privacy is why they won't use existing shelters. For a million dollars you could give shelter to a hundred or more people. This is obvious, why does it not happen? The politicians are compassionate but inept and the construction industry is busy making profits on expensive projects which government cannot afford to build in the numbers needed. Because emergency shelters aren't good enough for human habitation in the estimation of humanists we get tent dwellers condemned to live like dogs. Centers of crime? Sure they would be, especially drugs. At least the police would know where to look. Dead bodies could be more easily found and properly taken care of. Charitable services would know where to perform their good deeds. The governmental agencies would know where to find their clients. If proper housing is supplied these Emergency Shelters could then be emptied.
💖I'm really glad your finally seeing the homeless issue and prioritizing their lives over other expenditures. And while we are talking about the amount of budget money allotted for homelessness, let's mention bribes and illegal money dipping. And if we GREED wasn't such an issue for all of us, including our "leaders" and representatives,... there would be enough !!!
I agree with you on this, especially when they acquire animals while homeless. But if by chance they did go straight from a home to the street, then some choose to take their pet with them, and I have to say its a better option than dumping the pet. But they could take them to a no kill shelter or plan ahead and have a person or relative take them if needed. But the animals don't deserve this. I rescued many dogs and kittens from homeless who really didn't care to begin with, even though some did. Some were feeding their animals garbage or nothing at all because the drugs mess with their mind, but some do try to take care of them, but when they cannot they need to be responsible and find a place that will.
Every homeless person is brought before a tribunal. They are asked to provide sound reasons for their continued existence. They are given 6 months to get their acts together. All who fail to satisfy the tribunal's requirements are exterminated. They are slaughtered. Their flesh is sold at minimal profit. Babies, fried or roasted, are tender and delicious. It gives rise to a new industry, provides jobs, and puts food on the table of the poor.
You are observant. And correct I believe. People out here overturn trash cans to get shit outa them and just leave everything all over the sidewalk in an almost deliberate,fuck you, I ain't cleaning up shit, exacerbated by plenty of mental illness. And laziness. Then add to that the people that shouldn't do drugs the most, do drugs the most. Some people should not do drugs.
San Francisco with it's massive tech wealth should build a large homeless camp outside of the Bay Area which will be enclosed with a barbed wire fence and guarded by armed security in guard towers and military attack dogs 24/7. Then the homeless of San Francisco will be rounded up, charged with vagrancy and transported to this camp and will be forced to stay there until permanent homes could be found for them when available or until their day in court for crimes they may have been charged with. There they will receive food, medical care, personal tents , toilet and wash facilities as well as laundry service and a library. Those attempting to leave without permission or tries to incite a riot will be shot.
Facts don't care about your excuses.Your Lazy actions in life give you bad results.Remember you are exactly where you want to be. This is the land of the free. Many people CHOSE to be lazy down and out.They are pros at making the honest hard people feel bad. Bad choices Bad Results.This did not happen in one day.
But u gotta understand that if u lived at a place for almost ur whole life, u wouldnt want to leave, u hav ur family, friends, etc that u dont wanna leave. So its hard to just say "well i guess we are moving to oregon"
So, If I donate 10 dollars, 9 dollars will go to running your organization ie...salary, travel, accommodations, etc... What money is left for the HOMELESS? THEY ARE NOT THEIR TO HELP THE HOMELESS! CAN YOU SAY the "red cross?"
I have a family of me my son Aj and his great mom Meadow we were taken to the eviction court at least 6 times and in all of those the judge found in our favour and as had happened with all of the prior times there was a cease or desist letter of eviction notice on our door for the following Thursday was a 7 th eviction notice and at this seventh court date in as little as 3 months we were advised by the judge. that even though he was willing to aide with us witch would be another win in court for us that our property manager named Lan Lee out of San Francisco CA who is in charge of many of the rentals on the third Street corridor around Williams and van dike area, that she was willing to pay for the following Court Case's because she was using us as basically as a training course on how to evict the section 8 client's that were on the way to be over sold also along the same 3rd st corridor that me and my son of 7 at the time and my long time wife of going on 16 years so because of my sever diagnosed social anxiety and other medical stuff going on with me as well as my wife's also existing mental as well as health problems and with the advice of our lawyer from Happ we decided to take a move out of offer with a promise of a returned security deposit early and us being out in four months witch we were able to do and move out to a friend of ours and her family across the street from there to get our first grade son to his school at the time (Hillsdale elementary) the bus stop was at the time eight behind our old already left behind apartment when it was no more than two days later than the intended move out date I got a call from the lawyer at Happ and was told that the property manager Lan Lee was wondering if we still had keys and I did I told him that I would directly go and place them in the old mail box inside the gate and so I did and wouldn't you know that my wife was in the apartment getting some of ( her and my son as well as my)stuff that we had left behind by us and of course the same property manager named above showed up while she was in the apartment and I soon got call from the lawyer in charge of the eviction court proceedings and that he was called by Lan Lee and she said that we were still inhabitants of the building (this is not the truth in the lightest ) but with the increase in rent they were going to be able to get that we were once more headed to the eviction court for the 8th time I think which I am going to have to believe that the lawyer that was on our side handled to the best of his ability well the long and short of it is we lost and had to be out by Wednesday and it was late on Monday when we were made aware of the judges finding this was one day before Thanksgiving on 2015 I believe at which point I was aware of the eviction and I knew that it was on the property manager Lan Lee to get us at least one more time in the apartment in the next 14 days and then I stated this stipulation of the eviction law I was told it was gong to be after the holiday weekend and so we were all in the street and from a eviction notice and being a family orientated mother Meadow my wife had gotten in her head that it was going to be OK for her and my son to sleep in a local park for the weekend of the holiday with me in a tent and go back to sleeping in the emergency shelter for the following time it took us to get in to something else together and I had second thoughts about this idea of course but I am a family man and I have to be honest I thought that we had our basses covered with the alarm clocks on both of our phones set about a half hour early for the next day the Monday after the school holiday weekend and we would be able to be up at six to get out of bed and have time to get Aj cleaned up for school and get him feed and get him to the school not only on time but a little bit early but the only thing that woke me up the next morning was a parks and recreation cop there like literally just about 5 min before I was to get the alarm form my phone and because of our ex-property manager named Lan Lee had been in touch with CPS we lost our child to the system and even though it was not even a month before we were able to get the super centered and wise boy if ours back in time we have gotten back to being able to have if not a normal life at least one where we are together and even though it was along time I had to be homeless and my wife and kid had to go to a few programs that was because of the fact that the whole time with CPS court they were all in the line of thought that was on the line of " once on drugs , always on drugs " which was very easy and simple to prove by the fact that the whole time of the CPS case neither of us me and Meadow had ever been tox positive on one test and because of this we have been working on getting in to some type of short term GA shelter and I have to say that we are here now and on our way back to having a good life together with any luck at all it will be by the time of X-mass this year well thanks for your time
@Bj D fuckn liar! Republicans ran my state for 20 years n it's a piece of shit!!! Crime rate through the roof! Homelessness! Education system broke as fuck!! No jobs??
*2 of 4* Cities are spending millions of dollars to open and run homeless bed shelters; that the homeless reject due to the many restrictions and lack of security. _Pallet Shelter's_ two person _Shelter 64_ cost only $7,000 and provides a dignified, secure sleeping base of operation. So for only $201,000 [$120 tents] a city can establish and run a *Homeless Shelter Village* [HSV] with 1000 shelters that can accommodate 2,000 people: 2 beds and belongings per 10'X10' tent.
not sure if I believe a person who is dirty already and says reason they don't want TO GO TO SHELTERS is because shelter is dirty......hmmmmmm real reason is they wont because they cant do their drugs there
This is hard to watch as you have to feel compassion for these people. The efforts to house and manage the vagrants will be effective for only about 10% of them. Most vagrants are service resistant and try though you will, they son't want "help". On the olden days many of these were "housed" in jails/prison where they were safe and medicated. Bad to lock up drug offenders? You tell me.
the thing is people dont care what happens to the homless there know place in san diego but the shelter they want out by 6 or 7 rain or heat and there is a lot of older people that need something better it ti hard on them to be out in the cold all day on the move then return to the shelter at night they need a place to just sit and take it easy watch a little tv or read are bones are tierd we have med problems for some its just to much so they make there camps so they take it easy have a little heart
The mayor guy says 120 million spent on shelter. How much pays for roofs and how much pays fat administrators like himself? Part of the problem is the homeless industry that wants the lucrative job of managing homelessness. If they end it…..POOF, no more job.
so why even with hundreds of millions of dollars, that the movements for improvements and outreached and priorities for homelessness does not seems to move, or reach, enough homelessness? does each outreach and centers or other homeless organization have audit done>?
*4 of 4* The homeless can simply move the tents they are using now into the homeless-village and the RVs are assigned a parking space. *Or the **_Shelter 100,_** provided by FEMA,* is a $9,500 shelter that is climate controlled, built in one hour, is 100 sq. ft., and uses a folding bunk system to house up to four beds. *_Pallet Shelter's_* private sleeping cabins offer *security* and durability. Which addresses the concerns of the homeless who reject the restrictions of “bed-only” homeless-shelters; for only one night.
Get over it. At 16 I went out on my on. Was abused. I FINISHED MY SCHOOL, GOT SOME COLLEGE AND AM A NURSE. I drove one of my cars 16 years, saved a went without and saved some more.. Now I can give with the help of my church to others in need. Quit depending on others an learn not to be a victim. I know what It's like to bath at a sink an sleep in a car. Go to the shelter and find a good local church, that really cares. Quit depending on something like a friging system to come and help you. Too, stop the abuse of crossing our borders for a free handout and knock on the front door.
For people living on the street and not having anything, they sure leave behind allot of trash and clothing. It's amazing how quick the homeless can trash an area.
Get rid of their $800.00 cell phone, and BMW. they can all pool their money together for a down payment and monthly mortgage will be $ 176.00 a month on a 30-yr loan. SF is too rich for their blood, you know this phase " Get In Where You FIT IN " ... NO sympathy for people living above their means. I grew-up POOR in a TRAILER PARK, and it took me many years to make it. Top Ramen, and Kraft Mac-n-cheese. Doen't happen over night. Need to START somewhere.
Arnold : There homeless not HELPLESS, tell them to get the fuck out and get a job, the same as you did. I'm guessing you work your ass off everyday, and need to do the same. LOL. Maybe with ice cubes on their NUTS.
+Brittney Young - ...let alone the money to move to freezing cold North Dakota (where the weather alone creates a life threatening problem to deal with).
The Aaronic Blessing prayer needs to be said over every homeless drug addict in the City of San Francisco to help them get a better life. If you know of any rabbis in San Francisco please ask them to pray this prayer over each and every one of the homeless persons. The 100% solution to the homeless.
Too bad they fucked my state up! High crime rates, unemployment, no education funding I could go on n on about how fucked up republicants are that's why their party is on the verge of not existing!
Almost all Sanjoaquin county would be on the street if it weren't for housing for us seniors. The rent is more than what the people make you had Obama years no jobs and some partime cause employers didn't want to pay ins There was alot of construction people put out of work, but don't you find it stupid how Obama gave billions to muslim countries
The Super Bowl village made things worse. You saw that big encampment under the overpass. That was all pushed out because mayor Lee didn't want tourists driving by the Super Bowl village were pushed out of the area and not permitted back. And they have been pushing them from one part of the city to another.
*3 of 4* Those with income pay rent which is 10% of their net income to the *Homeless Shelter Village* [HSV] for their 2 person _Shelter 64;_ and 20% of their net income as rent for the 4 person _Shelter 100._ Their rent money goes to pay for: *childcare for working parents,* and one free meal per day; in the *Community-Room.*
People are stupid why complain you live in the gold dream right now this is why I live in my van and I'm loving it you live in an RV be proud of that no big rent no mortgage then I have to be at Auntie way of living but I think a lot of you people are brainwashed and programmed that you have to pay rent and get a place to live that's why you don't want to stay in your RV if you look stupid live in your RV your van fixed it up and live it and save a ton of money
For some, living in an RV or the equivalent work well. For others, not quite as well. There are many limitations - some of these limitations can be good, and with all of life it depends on what you can work without. Benefits of a house/home: Running water, electricity, gas, internet, tv, etc. Very stable, month to month, it's all there. Safety is a lot better, since you can have better physical security and know your neighbors better and are part of a neighborhood. Negative of a house/home: Many times too big (at least in my view), cost is very high, monthly payments including the water/gas/internet/tv/etc. Positives of mobile living: Ability to relocate easier. Reduced travel to work if done right, in the right location. Far, far cheaper as long as one can live without as much of the "benefits" above. Negatives of mobile living: Lack of the benefits in the "house/home", but the largest one for me would be physical security. Breaking into an RV is considerably easier than breaking into a house. Alarms exist, but less exists for being alerted and recording of breakins. For me personally, the negatives of mobile living far outweigh the benefits at this point in my life. I work remotely, need internet (and fast at that) - and have a lot of side projects that require a good deal of energy and internet to be successful at. That said, once I get near retirement age, I'll be far more tempted to go with the mobile living as work wouldn't be impacted as much by the decision. I also personally don't need that much space, far less than my house currently provides. I used to live comfortably in a trailer (about 900sf) without issue - but due to safety specifically, I moved into a home. Having my place broken into multiple times, stuff stolen out of both my vehicle and home (and shed) tainted my view of trailer life unless I have a plot of land in the country where I can put one, far away from other people.
Did these people grow up in the Bay area ? 11 years old for this woman where is her family was she hatched ? They can build million dollar condos but not basic housing...this is in every city across the US now
You helped 500 people. 81 percent found housing. Didn't say anything about permanent housing. Also didn't say how many of those people stayed in housing. A lot of people that they "find housing" for, usually don't stay in that housing. A lot of times that housing is not sustainable. These non profits are actually for profit. They do nothing to address the actual issue, only mask it with spins and vague answers. The only way you can get housing for people is lower rent. Imagine an organization that actually paid a portion of rent with all those millions they get funded with instead of renting a building so you can give showers, food, and keep people homeless.
who cares, it's not enough to have a home. besides if you've ever read a news article on it you'd know being homeless is very expensive. because you have to pay insane amounts just to do basic things. look around at your kitchen and see how much food you can eat without can openers, bowls, something to heat it etc.
This seriously does not make sense. Notice there's no homeless Mexicans or foreigners. They come to this country illegally with very little or no money. How do they manage to be successful and make a living but these people can't?
Has anyone ever considered moving theses homeless people to cities with lower cost of living? Smaller cities that may have employment opportunities were income yields are more in line with housing and other costs of living?
It's humbling to see this and realize that you're living a dream compared to these people.
I know right, I think I have some pressing problems but then I see these videos and realize that there is always someone worse off.
Idk why but I like this reporter she's very comforting to listen to for some reason
Bless that dude, so glad for him.
We all are good people. We don't turn our backs on one another
People watch what happens. Look at the photos of people at soup kitchen food lines. There warning suits and ties.new world order so soon as the rich are broken down. Another new world order? The rich become home less and we are going to have to take care of them history over and over. 😮
A full time provided $1,600 and the rent is like $2,200 ,Rent is too high
Keven alvarado Move to another state where it is affordable. Ca isn't the only state in the union. It's a big world, explore!
rent wouldn't be so high if illegals weren't taking half of it up for themselves
That is rape. F*the system.
Then leave sf. move to another part of ca or out of the state
This is about San Francisco because it's where most of my experience is but its somewhat replicated all over the bay area.
Its about leadership, authority, priorities, and focus. Here is a little insight (THE SORT VERSION) from someone who has worked in almost every aspect of the provider system and been places, seen things, provided services where 99% of people never have.
There is not one hospital with an on staff social service intake officer available 24hrs a day, not even county, also the level 1 trauma center. None of the hospitals have a dedicated social service intake and or provider office within the ED department, no office= no dedicated ED onsite personal, meaning no client contact, no resource information distribution when they need that and intervention most. These social service provider choices put additional pressure on the ED medical staff. Pressure that they don't need within an already stressed emergency department workplace.
The "respite" center aka where you take those to drunk to walk but with no emergent medical need to sleep it off. That center has no displayed service provider info, no reps from service providers, no substance abuse counselors, no housing placement reps, no shelter reps, you can't even get a map of where shelters are there if you wanted to, an overworked nurse who usually lacks emergency department nursing certification, inadequate hygiene facilities, and dangerously understaffed security.
Example the federal governments reimbursement for administering methadone to heroine addicts is so high, and set up in a manner so that it actually penalizes clinics for reducing patient dosing so much that they don't, and if they did as one is supposed to they would be forced to close. I have had multiple patients on the same incredibly high methadone dosing for over a decade.
Who does this system benefit? Big Pharma and the manufacturers of methadone and its related pharmacopeia. Who pays for all of it taxpayers. Who set it up this way congress members bought by and under the direction of Big Pharma.
This is a brief look at the social service provider system and the often counter productive, anti collaborative, corrupt, deliberately provider isolated, inadequate framework they are forced to work within.
Just drove by another homeless encampment going up in flames. Happens way too often. A dangerous situation for everyone.
This is NYC and the rents here are always sky high. I studied law in the Univ of Santa Clara. ( circa early 80s.) It 's really sad to see many in the Bay Area in such a destitute condition. BTW, the NYC subway system and THE JUNGLE (in San Jose) have alot in common.
We're supposed to feel bad for homeless criminals? I feel bad for the honest ones who had their rent doubled, but forget the criminals.
Clearly, the solution is to import as many "undocumented immigrants" as possible. Whenever you see a homeless problem, the immediate reaction should be increase the population as much as possible to solve it.
This is sad. What the heck is wrong with politicians that let this happen?
no, whats sad is the democrat politicians caused it, and fooled many
Well you can’t vape but you can shit in the streets! Democrats are the down fall! Actually it’s the fools that voted for them but your head is so full of shit you can understand it you ignorant fool!
Publics fault, as usual. It happens most of the time. And in every country around the world.
"People deserve the government they get." (De Tocqueville)
What the heck is wrong with you?? Don't just blame the politicians! Blame the people who bring it upon themselves..
God bless that man
it's very hard but i hope that i would not be homeless but the rent is going up every month or every 6 month's and it's not fair and we me and my brother are trying our best to keep out head of above the water but it's hard and they need to keep the rent down so we can pay our Bill's and our car notes etc and etc and so thats why a lot of people go homeless because they can't afford there apts or houses.
There's an architect with the last name Campion. Years back, he was doing creative research on designing shelters for the nation's homeless.I'd like to hear what he came up with. After viewing and hearing their own words, I began trying to understand why so many homeless prefer a box under a bridge, exposed to the elements over a "homeless shelter" and came up with several issues: shelters receive funds but misappropriate them (one patron's words); shelters require their own schedules which don't usually correspond with the patrons' needs and desires; they're invasive, rigid; they're available for nights only--patrons must leave through the day.
My idea couldn't possibly be as grand as Mr. Campion's; however, I think it suits many of the needs and personalities of the homeless: structures made of steel framing, reliable roofs, concrete foundations divided into cubicles of plexiglass that don't quite touch the concrete floor (for power-washing the cubicles as tenants leave improving bug infestations and contamination). Structures could be designated for males, females, families and cubicles could be accordingly sized to fit. Totally enclosed, private, segregated (male/female) restrooms form the center of the structures.
These structures would meet many of the homeless folks' complaints and provide a degree of autonomy since there'd be no limit on how long they could stay. Cubicles would be designated to persons as long as they needed them. There'd be large bins for trash/garbage and cooking/grilling options outside the structures: individuals, families could cook for themselves or they could take turns cooking for the entire structures' occupants.If available, they could still receive relief to cover food. If occupants wanted, they could bring their tents and boxes into their cubicle or cover the walls of their cubicles with newspaper, etc. It seems homeless folks co-exist fairly well with each other; that would be expected to continue. These cubicles would be free of charge with space outside for anyone wanting to grow vegetable gardens. And, of course, land for these structures.
My idea, I'm sure, needs tweeking, but maybe it's an option.
I saw this coming years ago. All my friends moved away from the Bay Area as they were priced out. Some moved far inland while others moved out of state to the Pac NW and places further east like Texas and Tennessee. I escaped to Idaho and then Wyoming. Thankfully I am happy, living well and the wife and I live debt-free well within our means. We couldn't do that in California. The Cali politics and idiocy of the far left culture drove me and my friends off the "Cali Crazy Train". Now out of Cali and life is good.
you are right to say the rents have gone up, and many good upstanding renters are being forced out ,but that is not the reason these meth heads are homeless. 10 yrs ago I helped a man get an apartment in a cheaper bay area town that he lived in while homeless. He kept the apartment for one month the decided he couldn't keep paying for an apartment and getting his drugs, so he chose to be homeless so that he could get the drugs. he admitted he would rather have the drugs than a roof over his head.
Jon Warner I think that clear thinking people leave California as it is no longer sustainable.
Jon Warner you are PERFECT example of responsible living within ones means. C O N G R A T U L A T I O N to You and your Bride. Life solutions are rather easy, maybe NOT always enjoyable. We can ALL get through this, many options / choices just make the decision that fits the persons WALLET.
*1 of 4* Cities can eliminate homeless tent encampments by replacing them with *Homeless Shelter Villages* [HSV] using _Pallet Shelter's_ existing *Homeless Shelter Village* [HSV] components. The _Community Room_ sells for $37,000 and serves as a shared laundry room, restaurant, *child daycare center,* and addiction services center. The _Bathroom_ cost $35,000 and the _Services Office_ costs $9,000. So for only $81,000 a city can establish a *Homeless Shelter Village* [HSV]. The 10'X10' *Camping Cube Sport Pop Up Tent* that costs only $120 provides protection from the elements; for two people and their belongings.
Bless them all !
But damn at least clean up after yourself and not make a trail .
If you don't live on the streets stfu !
GARDENIA 8888 I agree! Then you have those with mental health and drug users who are out of their minds and don’t care or know to care.
I have PTSD from severe traumatizing events along with physical trauma, but that doesn't give me justification to be a criminal or use drugs, lazy not work or anything else. no more excuses.
Every person's situation is different.
So San Jose felt shamed when the homeless encampment, The Jungle, made national news. So they spent city money to kick them out, help some of them (yes, only some), and forget the rest. Now the 7000 displaced homeless folks are spread through San Jose making new smaller encampments that are not being addressed and will grow into more "Jungles". SMDH. San Jose representatives are failing at their jobs.
I lived in the area 40 years ago. Nice but big pop. No homeless then like now. Very amazing to see this. I will live in a small town thank you and not in Cal. Old now and have no energy to deal with big city problems. nor do I want to be around it. Let the young folks figure it out.Good luck and God bless.
true...but ALSO they have spread throughout the bay area . There has been a huge influx of the homeless druggies to Concord in last few years. They are also being sent by alta bates hospital in Oakland TO John Muir in Concord, (yes there is proof of this) and guess what.....once here...THEY STAY. Concord is a mess now and police do nothing. But homeless advocate programs do...….oh yes...…. they give all sorts of free stuff to the drug abusers and the drug abusers turn right around and they throw it in the street, at oncoming cars, in your yard, all over storefronts, anywhere they can just to make a mess while in their doped up mind... I know there are a few very few out there who need help and are not trouble, but most of them ARE T R O U B L E
If any person fail at his/her job gets fired, if a politician doesn't solve problems he/she gets a raise in salary and promoted to higher office!!!
We only make about a 1000.00 a month more then this guy in the trailer. We own a 23 hundred sq. ft. Home. No morgage. Have 2 cars and a truck. Totally out of debt. We do not live in California, thank God. There are much cheaper places to live in the US. I know it isnt the case in every bodies life. But alot of this is due to drug and alcohol use. You'll never have anything if you are on drugs and alcohol.
It's easier to get housing for a dog than housing for human beings!
Exactly !! Crazy right
"The Shelter wants me to get up at 6 o'clock and my body cant handle it" Most of us get up at 6am so we can make it to work . My body doesnt like it either. Its time for tough love. Military work camps. No drugs , alcohol or smoking. Daily work details , like cleaning up the streets etc. If that doesnt work for you , you can leave society. Its America , its your choice. But taxes pay for your sidewalks and parks, so there off limits, etc.
No one is able to run away from city to city for an affordable house or rent when the housing price is keep rising without control ! Housing, clothing and food are basic needs for all human beings. Demanding for the strict control of all housing and rental at the reasonable and affordable prices !!!
If you can't afford to live somewhere then move to somewhere you can afford. OIC: Thousands of people are homeless because they are bums. STOP FEEDING THEM and they will go away.
TRUE
Bernie Sanders was "stunned" ha ha ha ha where was he the last 30 years?..
There’s plenty of awareness about homelessness. Need more heart 💜
this guy bought a "mobile home" -he dwells in a "mobile home " so he's not "homeless" . also its a gd mess esp to allow its interior to be filmed like this ,wtf's wrong with this picture??
Dan Kirchner the thing is where does he go to take a dump? I would rather die than eat my own poop
14:10 He says _every_ year they spend $120 million on housing, and $50 million on outreach, etc. 14:45, She says despite spending all that money, over the past 10 years homeless population has remained steady at about 6500. Let's see now. Simple math says 170 million / 6500 = $26,153.84 per person per year. Where I live, a duplex with each side having 3 bedrooms and two baths can be built for $250,000. That would house 6 people comfortably, more if married family. For 120 million, 480 homes could be built, housing 6 people each, totalling 2880 people. So, in 3 years, enough homes could be built to house all 6500 homeless. Yet, 10 years later, they still have 6500 homeless. The question is then, do they actually want to get rid of the problem? Because it seems there's not a lack of money being spent. By my calculations, the money being spent could provide basic food and shelter and job placement. The problem is who's spending the money. Private charity yields a better result than government every time it's tried. Please, get government out of the charity business. Government will never fix a problem that is the basis on which it usurps power (and money) from the citizens. This is a lesson we must learn. We need to demand term limits, reduce the power of government, and return charity to the hands of individuals, private civic organizations and churches.
Been up 33 hours working just to make a living before. If I was up for 5 day straight, then I would have dies. Hardship is nothing to me.
Why not move to another state? California is ridiculously expensive. There are states that are "cheap" (compared to CA) and actually need more population.
I know moving costs $$ but after living like this for few months, I'd do anything I can to get out and start again somewhere else.
This is sad beyond words. :(
i think a lot of people end up not having enough time to move out before their evicted and after your evicted once your basically put on a blacklist for renters
Emergency Shelter. Do not build what you want for the homeless, build what you can. Get human wastes and needles off your streets then you can work on what you want the people to have. Simple concrete boxes fitted with inside locks on their doors, massed produced with a central sanitation building and a dumpster. Make no rules, no schedules, don't even keep track of who is in what box. Privacy is why they won't use existing shelters. For a million dollars you could give shelter to a hundred or more people.
This is obvious, why does it not happen? The politicians are compassionate but inept and the construction industry is busy making profits on expensive projects which government cannot afford to build in the numbers needed. Because emergency shelters aren't good enough for human habitation in the estimation of humanists we get tent dwellers condemned to live like dogs.
Centers of crime? Sure they would be, especially drugs. At least the police would know where to look. Dead bodies could be more easily found and properly taken care of. Charitable services would know where to perform their good deeds. The governmental agencies would know where to find their clients. If proper housing is supplied these Emergency Shelters could then be emptied.
Are there homeless shelters you can get into in SF at this point, or are they all filled up?
💖I'm really glad your finally seeing the homeless issue and prioritizing their lives over other expenditures. And while we are talking about the amount of budget money allotted for homelessness, let's mention bribes and illegal money dipping. And if we GREED wasn't such an issue for all of us, including our "leaders" and representatives,... there would be enough !!!
I like your balanced comment..
Fremont is also suffering as well, but we don't have the funds like other cities.
WHY DRAG A DOG IN THIS?
That's their family. I would never leave my cats. I love them and I have a ethical obligation to them.
I agree with you on this, especially when they acquire animals while homeless. But if by chance they did go straight from a home to the street, then some choose to take their pet with them, and I have to say its a better option than dumping the pet. But they could take them to a no kill shelter or plan ahead and have a person or relative take them if needed. But the animals don't deserve this. I rescued many dogs and kittens from homeless who really didn't care to begin with, even though some did. Some were feeding their animals garbage or nothing at all because the drugs mess with their mind, but some do try to take care of them, but when they cannot they need to be responsible and find a place that will.
Yes, if ur homeless so is the pet....gise the pet away....let someone care 4 it....plus its another mouth to feed....
Very good point.. He is right, we shouldn't take things for granted..
Amazing how homeless people are found in the deepest in the woods.
Can't afford a home can't afford to eat! BUT CAN AFFORD A 10 DOLLAR PACK OF SMOKES!!
The cost per bed in the shelters in more than the cost of a motel. How does that work? Someone making bank.
So this is why making broad judgements about people as bad... doing druggs, lazy...not everyone is like that.
It almost always has to do with drugs and alcohol.
Walk on the left side after dark, you'll wind up playing the harp.
What a horrible situation. Nobody should live this way.
Many people want to live this way they sell their house and buy a campervan or a van.
If the homeless will pick up after themselves it wouldn't be that bad
so true -can't believe the disorder esp when all there is basically is free time to do such basic things like "sweep",laundry" ,"vacuum,etc
Every homeless person is brought before a tribunal. They are asked to provide sound reasons for their continued existence. They are given 6 months to get their acts together. All who fail to satisfy the tribunal's requirements are exterminated. They are slaughtered. Their flesh is sold at minimal profit. Babies, fried or roasted, are tender and delicious. It gives rise to a new industry, provides jobs, and puts food on the table of the poor.
Clean up your own back yard, first.
duhhhhhhhhhhhhhh
You are observant. And correct I believe.
People out here overturn trash cans to get shit outa them and just leave everything all over the sidewalk in an almost deliberate,fuck you, I ain't cleaning up shit, exacerbated by plenty of mental illness. And laziness.
Then add to that the people that shouldn't do drugs the most, do drugs the most. Some people should not do drugs.
Dang he got a steal on that camper, he should fix it up, he would have everything he needs.
Why cant he shower and shave there?
It probably doesn't run for that price so he can't dump the tanks?
Courtesy of the ridiculous cost of living in California.
At least you work good at man proud of you
As heartless as jail is, they get 3 meals a day. a bed, and a warm bathroom w/ showers..
Not on My gat dog dime!!
how strange the "jungle" gets cleaned up and concord starts getting hundreds of homeless drug fiends
Why doesn't that guy get a gym membership like everyone else so he can take showers
1 apt i rented studio was full of bed bugs it was terrible and the owner wouldn't pay to exterminate to cheap
that's the problem with foreign landlords they don't care and don't abide by the rules
San Francisco with it's massive tech wealth should build a large homeless camp outside of the Bay Area which will be enclosed with a barbed wire fence and guarded by armed security in guard towers and military attack dogs 24/7. Then the homeless of San Francisco will be rounded up, charged with vagrancy and transported to this camp and will be forced to stay there until permanent homes could be found for them when available or until their day in court for crimes they may have been charged with. There they will receive food, medical care, personal tents , toilet and wash facilities as well as laundry service and a library. Those attempting to leave without permission or tries to incite a riot will be shot.
Got room for 1 more tent? I'm so tired of working just to survive
All these people need to move to other parts of the country.They can not afford Where they are., what part of move don't they understand.
Facts don't care about your excuses.Your Lazy actions in life give you bad results.Remember you are exactly where you want to be. This is the land of the free. Many people CHOSE to be lazy down and out.They are pros at making the honest hard people feel bad. Bad choices Bad Results.This did not happen in one day.
Wayne Dome I go homeless tomorrow because of a fire. It happened in 5 minutes.
Wayne Dome u try up and leaving without a bean to yurr name most prob have addictions its up to governance to turn this around-need policys
Wayne Dome am sorry homelessness aint a lifestyle choice who chooses to be down and out way to simplistic an opinion for a complex problem.
But u gotta understand that if u lived at a place for almost ur whole life, u wouldnt want to leave, u hav ur family, friends, etc that u dont wanna leave. So its hard to just say "well i guess we are moving to oregon"
So, If I donate 10 dollars, 9 dollars will go to running your organization ie...salary, travel, accommodations, etc... What money is left for the HOMELESS? THEY ARE NOT THEIR TO HELP THE HOMELESS! CAN YOU SAY the "red cross?"
I have a family of me my son Aj and his great mom Meadow we were taken to the eviction court at least 6 times and in all of those the judge found in our favour and as had happened with all of the prior times there was a cease or desist letter of eviction notice on our door for the following Thursday was a 7 th eviction notice and at this seventh court date in as little as 3 months we were advised by the judge. that even though he was willing to aide with us witch would be another win in court for us that our property manager named Lan Lee out of San Francisco CA who is in charge of many of the rentals on the third Street corridor around Williams and van dike area, that she was willing to pay for the following Court Case's because she was using us as basically as a training course on how to evict the section 8 client's that were on the way to be over sold also along the same 3rd st corridor that me and my son of 7 at the time and my long time wife of going on 16 years so because of my sever diagnosed social anxiety and other medical stuff going on with me as well as my wife's also existing mental as well as health problems and with the advice of our lawyer from Happ we decided to take a move out of offer with a promise of a returned security deposit early and us being out in four months witch we were able to do and move out to a friend of ours and her family across the street from there to get our first grade son to his school at the time (Hillsdale elementary) the bus stop was at the time eight behind our old already left behind apartment when it was no more than two days later than the intended move out date I got a call from the lawyer at Happ and was told that the property manager Lan Lee was wondering if we still had keys and I did I told him that I would directly go and place them in the old mail box inside the gate and so I did and wouldn't you know that my wife was in the apartment getting some of ( her and my son as well as my)stuff that we had left behind by us and of course the same property manager named above showed up while she was in the apartment and I soon got call from the lawyer in charge of the eviction court proceedings and that he was called by Lan Lee and she said that we were still inhabitants of the building (this is not the truth in the lightest ) but with the increase in rent they were going to be able to get that we were once more headed to the eviction court for the 8th time I think which I am going to have to believe that the lawyer that was on our side handled to the best of his ability well the long and short of it is we lost and had to be out by Wednesday and it was late on Monday when we were made aware of the judges finding this was one day before Thanksgiving on 2015 I believe at which point I was aware of the eviction and I knew that it was on the property manager Lan Lee to get us at least one more time in the apartment in the next 14 days and then I stated this stipulation of the eviction law I was told it was gong to be after the holiday weekend and so we were all in the street and from a eviction notice and being a family orientated mother Meadow my wife had gotten in her head that it was going to be OK for her and my son to sleep in a local park for the weekend of the holiday with me in a tent and go back to sleeping in the emergency shelter for the following time it took us to get in to something else together and I had second thoughts about this idea of course but I am a family man and I have to be honest I thought that we had our basses covered with the alarm clocks on both of our phones set about a half hour early for the next day the Monday after the school holiday weekend and we would be able to be up at six to get out of bed and have time to get Aj cleaned up for school and get him feed and get him to the school not only on time but a little bit early but the only thing that woke me up the next morning was a parks and recreation cop there like literally just about 5 min before I was to get the alarm form my phone and because of our ex-property manager named Lan Lee had been in touch with CPS we lost our child to the system and even though it was not even a month before we were able to get the super centered and wise boy if ours back in time we have gotten back to being able to have if not a normal life at least one where we are together and even though it was along time I had to be homeless and my wife and kid had to go to a few programs that was because of the fact that the whole time with CPS court they were all in the line of thought that was on the line of " once on drugs , always on drugs " which was very easy and simple to prove by the fact that the whole time of the CPS case neither of us me and Meadow had ever been tox positive on one test and because of this we have been working on getting in to some type of short term GA shelter and I have to say that we are here now and on our way back to having a good life together with any luck at all it will be by the time of X-mass this year well thanks for your time
Good luck to you all, I hope it's getting better for you.
Whoa... Did you even come up for air??
For real tho, good luck.
Dam that was a book I just read tho
I read all this shit. Damn!
You're homeless and given a decent shelter and refuse to comply with their rules including getting up early?...STAY HOMELESS AND GOOD LUCK!!!
California dreamin on a winters day
Right on!!!!❤❤
This is not a GOP or DEM. problem. People have given up becuase there is no place to go. Rents are too high.
that is not correct. that's just an excuse for those who choose to do drugs
@Bj D fuckn liar! Republicans ran my state for 20 years n it's a piece of shit!!! Crime rate through the roof! Homelessness! Education system broke as fuck!! No jobs??
4,000 in a city of 1.1 million doesn't seem much.
*2 of 4* Cities are spending millions of dollars to open and run homeless bed shelters; that the homeless reject due to the many restrictions and lack of security. _Pallet Shelter's_ two person _Shelter 64_ cost only $7,000 and provides a dignified, secure sleeping base of operation. So for only $201,000 [$120 tents] a city can establish and run a *Homeless Shelter Village* [HSV] with 1000 shelters that can accommodate 2,000 people: 2 beds and belongings per 10'X10' tent.
I work and I can't afford a smart phone or a dog. How is it you can? Just wondering?
cost per bed $69 dollars per day, 69x30=1970 What a joke !!!!! Ask for donation? Not likely with such a wasteful spending.
they should only be sheltered if they are clean from drugs. period.
not sure if I believe a person who is dirty already and says reason they don't want TO GO TO SHELTERS is because shelter is
dirty......hmmmmmm real reason is they wont because they cant do their drugs there
were the heck are the bunk bed one bed really
I love Hitchcock's 'Vertigo' set in SF.
This is hard to watch as you have to feel compassion for these people. The efforts to house and manage the vagrants will be effective for only about 10% of them. Most vagrants are service resistant and try though you will, they son't want "help". On the olden days many of these were "housed" in jails/prison where they were safe and medicated. Bad to lock up drug offenders? You tell me.
they already do, prisons are the biggest mental health systems, and they suck.
Thank God I got out of the Bay Area!
the thing is people dont care what happens to the homless there know place in san diego but the shelter they want out by 6 or 7 rain or heat and there is a lot of older people that need something better it ti hard on them to be out in the cold all day on the move then return to the shelter at night they need a place to just sit and take it easy watch a little tv or read are bones are tierd we have med problems for some its just to much so they make there camps so they take it easy have a little heart
The mayor guy says 120 million spent on shelter. How much pays for roofs and how much pays fat administrators like himself? Part of the problem is the homeless industry that wants the lucrative job of managing homelessness. If they end it…..POOF, no more job.
Why is it so hard to end homelessness.
so why even with hundreds of millions of dollars, that the movements for improvements and outreached and priorities for homelessness does not seems to move, or reach, enough homelessness? does each outreach and centers or other homeless organization have audit done>?
WOW! 4 thousand homeless in the Bay area.
50,000 in LA
There's 8,011 homeless in S.F. in 2019.
*4 of 4* The homeless can simply move the tents they are using now into the homeless-village and the RVs are assigned a parking space. *Or the **_Shelter 100,_** provided by FEMA,* is a $9,500 shelter that is climate controlled, built in one hour, is 100 sq. ft., and uses a folding bunk system to house up to four beds. *_Pallet Shelter's_* private sleeping cabins offer *security* and durability. Which addresses the concerns of the homeless who reject the restrictions of “bed-only” homeless-shelters; for only one night.
Get over it. At 16 I went out on my on. Was abused. I FINISHED MY SCHOOL, GOT SOME COLLEGE AND AM A NURSE. I drove one of my cars 16 years, saved a went without and saved some more.. Now I can give with the help of my church to others in need. Quit depending on others an learn not to be a victim. I know what It's like to bath at a sink an sleep in a car. Go to the shelter and find a good local church, that really cares. Quit depending on something like a friging system to come and help you. Too, stop the abuse of crossing our borders for a free handout and knock on the front door.
they have money for smokes at 10 bucks a pack though
For people living on the street and not having anything, they sure leave behind allot of trash and clothing. It's amazing how quick the homeless can trash an area.
Just move to North Dakota, and you can own a 1800 sq-ft home for under $100K Problem solved
Paul Monaco where they had they gonna get 100k from?
Get rid of their $800.00 cell phone, and BMW. they can all pool their money together for a down payment and monthly mortgage will be $ 176.00 a month on a 30-yr loan. SF is too rich for their blood, you know this phase " Get In Where You FIT IN " ... NO sympathy for people living above their means. I grew-up POOR in a TRAILER PARK, and it took me many years to make it. Top Ramen, and Kraft Mac-n-cheese. Doen't happen over night. Need to START somewhere.
Paul Monaco you have to work in ND.....and when it's 40 below, good luck bumming on the street
Arnold : There homeless not HELPLESS, tell them to get the fuck out and get a job, the same as you did. I'm guessing you work your ass off everyday, and need to do the same. LOL. Maybe with ice cubes on their NUTS.
+Brittney Young - ...let alone the money to move to freezing cold North Dakota (where the weather alone creates a life threatening problem to deal with).
The Aaronic Blessing prayer needs to be said over every homeless drug addict in the City of San Francisco to help them get a better life. If you know of any rabbis in San Francisco please ask them to pray this prayer over each and every one of the homeless persons. The 100% solution to the homeless.
This is an easy problem to fix, vote for a Republican to run your state, barring that you're screwed.
Too bad they fucked my state up! High crime rates, unemployment, no education funding I could go on n on about how fucked up republicants are that's why their party is on the verge of not existing!
Bernie Sanders was stunned to see homeless people, another out of touch political leader.
most peoples problem is drugs...they don't want to admit it they just want to say bay area is too expensive and they got priced out.... to look good.
Exactly
I want to say I will do all I can to have my brothers and sisters for homeless
Almost all Sanjoaquin county would be on the street if it weren't for housing for us seniors. The rent is more than what the people make you had Obama years no jobs and some partime cause employers didn't want to pay ins There was alot of construction people put out of work, but don't you find it stupid how Obama gave billions to muslim countries
The Super Bowl village made things worse. You saw that big encampment under the overpass. That was all pushed out because mayor Lee didn't want tourists driving by the Super Bowl village were pushed out of the area and not permitted back. And they have been pushing them from one part of the city to another.

People are stupid why complain you live in the gold dream right now this is why I live in my van and I'm loving it you live in an RV be proud of that no big rent no mortgage then I have to be at Auntie way of living but I think a lot of you people are brainwashed and programmed that you have to pay rent and get a place to live that's why you don't want to stay in your RV if you look stupid live in your RV your van fixed it up and live it and save a ton of money
For some, living in an RV or the equivalent work well. For others, not quite as well. There are many limitations - some of these limitations can be good, and with all of life it depends on what you can work without.
Benefits of a house/home: Running water, electricity, gas, internet, tv, etc. Very stable, month to month, it's all there. Safety is a lot better, since you can have better physical security and know your neighbors better and are part of a neighborhood.
Negative of a house/home: Many times too big (at least in my view), cost is very high, monthly payments including the water/gas/internet/tv/etc.
Positives of mobile living: Ability to relocate easier. Reduced travel to work if done right, in the right location. Far, far cheaper as long as one can live without as much of the "benefits" above.
Negatives of mobile living: Lack of the benefits in the "house/home", but the largest one for me would be physical security. Breaking into an RV is considerably easier than breaking into a house. Alarms exist, but less exists for being alerted and recording of breakins.
For me personally, the negatives of mobile living far outweigh the benefits at this point in my life. I work remotely, need internet (and fast at that) - and have a lot of side projects that require a good deal of energy and internet to be successful at. That said, once I get near retirement age, I'll be far more tempted to go with the mobile living as work wouldn't be impacted as much by the decision. I also personally don't need that much space, far less than my house currently provides. I used to live comfortably in a trailer (about 900sf) without issue - but due to safety specifically, I moved into a home. Having my place broken into multiple times, stuff stolen out of both my vehicle and home (and shed) tainted my view of trailer life unless I have a plot of land in the country where I can put one, far away from other people.
Did these people grow up in the Bay area ? 11 years old for this woman where is her family was she hatched ? They can build million dollar condos but not basic housing...this is in every city across the US now
You helped 500 people. 81 percent found housing. Didn't say anything about permanent housing. Also didn't say how many of those people stayed in housing. A lot of people that they "find housing" for, usually don't stay in that housing. A lot of times that housing is not sustainable. These non profits are actually for profit. They do nothing to address the actual issue, only mask it with spins and vague answers. The only way you can get housing for people is lower rent. Imagine an organization that actually paid a portion of rent with all those millions they get funded with instead of renting a building so you can give showers, food, and keep people homeless.
I saw apartments in San Francisco for $2k a month. I could almost afford by myself.
To the valet, you make $2500 a month, what do you do with your money ???
who cares, it's not enough to have a home. besides if you've ever read a news article on it you'd know being homeless is very expensive. because you have to pay insane amounts just to do basic things. look around at your kitchen and see how much food you can eat without can openers, bowls, something to heat it etc.
easier said than done
This seriously does not make sense. Notice there's no homeless Mexicans or foreigners. They come to this country illegally with very little or no money. How do they manage to be successful and make a living but these people can't?
2500 a month and can not afford to rent a place to live wow.so now days in California it takes 2 or 3 people living together to afford rent
Has anyone ever considered moving theses homeless people to cities with lower cost of living? Smaller cities that may have employment opportunities were income yields are more in line with housing and other costs of living?
Apts in Westlake 2 bedroom was $600 in 1978😵
Today Apartments $4,000.00. For a 1 bedroom. In S.F.
@@jimtalbott2894 I saw a 1br in Frisco for $2000 a month though…
some people own 20 40 60 houses and they sleep very well at night
I hate when politicians pretend to give a shit about the homeless.
SO MUCH HOMELESS,MY GOD HELP US
120 millions in home assistance programs... but probably 80 millions went to administration fees.
Years ago a female told me ; "I am a jungle girl" . I didn't know about this "jungle".!
