    "But did you ever notice that we have no war on homelessness? You know why? Because there's no money in that problem. No money to be made off of the homeless. If you can find a solution to homelessness where the corporations and politicians can make a few million dollars each, you will see the streets of America begin to clear up pretty damn quick!" -George Carlin

    You know, when I was a kid my dad would take myself and brothers to a taco shop and he would buy 50 to 60 tacos and we would go hand them out. I will never forget the day my dad got a ticket because it's against the law to help people, unless you are an organization. This law needs to be stopped

    They can get help only if they want help. The majority of them are on drugs. If people stop giving them money to support there habits they will never get help.

      Also note that you are basically saying they won't get help until you STOP HELPING them, did it not occur to you how ridiculous that sounds?
      The same thing can happen to almost anyone [that isn't rich and powerful], and unless you are morbidly rich, it can happen to you as well. I am sure you are so confident that it wouldn't, you are too smart and careful,... Yeah, so were they, don't be a presumptuous unempathetic dipsh!t

    They don't want help. They get more money from working the traffic corner. It's the fault people of this city that keeps giving them money at those corners. If you people stop doing that maybe most of them will move on to another city that will support them at those corners.

    A lot of people have to stop assuming things about the homeless. People are hurting and need help. This will test your heart...are you a Christian or not? I am not assuming other religions don't care, just asking about the one with which I am familiar. When we make it a crime to be poor or help the poor, what does that say about our humanity?

      Didn't you see? They DON'T WANT HELP!!!! If you're so concerned about them then offer them to stay at your home. People say what you're saying but I don't see them taking any of them home. Old saying " YOU CAN LEAD THE HORSE TO THE WATER BUT YOU CAN'T MAKE THEM DRINK IT " .

      @@fernandodeleon3454 The point is people should help in any way they can. No one has to take a stranger home, but maybe donate to a shelter or give a person a meal. Lots of homeless are veterans with PTSD or mental illness. Does it matter more if they are ready for services or if they eat on a daily basis? Do what you feel is right. You seem agitated or pressed or whatever...

      @@alfredoalcantar8691 I'm agitated because I'm also a disabled veteran diagnosed with severe PTSD. Also diagnosed as being a major bipolar maniac depression. I also was homeless for year's and was an alcoholic. I don't know what made me go to the VA and finally ask for help. Honestly, I didn't really want to, but I did and was in the VA hospital for month's. It's in the mind of ANY individual what choice they want, either voluntary get help or simply stay in the gutter's. THAT'S THEIR CHOICE, the veteran's who are homeless can get the help that they need. It all comes down to IF they want that help and it's on the government. Time and time again people have gone to them for year's and they simply refuse the help.
