quote:All this is true and many of them are mentally ill, but, in my personal observations, more and more of these folks are just fentanyl and other hard drug addicts. I see a former neighbor of mine standing out in front of Safeway begging for money these days. Sad but there's nothing wrong with him other than he's hooked on blues and doesn't want to do anything but get high.
Many current homeless are folks who used to be in these facilities. Like many political "hot potatoes" we do something in the short term and it bites us in the backside in the long term.
Mental health care by police is an abject failure and costs at least 8 times the cost of the old system. Many homeless are self medicating with drugs and alcohol which just throws fuel on the fire.

Classic self medicating behavior
So many parts to a complex resolution and neither party want to commit to the long term solutions. Sad about your neighbor, any idea if there was a triggering act like busted love life or did somebody just get him hooked for the $$$$ and now the rest of us carry the cost?
That legal drug company in PA made BILLIONS and donated to art and such back home and so many in the hills who died or destroyed families. Makes me upset still. Heroin made a comeback when the legal drug started getting busted for overmedication and "scrips for sale".

Damn that’s better than some of the AirBNBs in Bay St Louis going for $100 a night.

I'd probably give the homeless life a try if I didn't have a family. Just need a good cell plan with unlimited hot spot so I can do my white collar job from under the overpass.

I found out after his daughter asked my wife for a ride to school in the mornings because her parents couldn't be bothered to do it anymore. She told us. He owned a successful small landscaping business before that and has a wife and four kids under 18. The kids moved to live with family and now him and his wife live on the streets.

Yeah, tale too often told.
Similar story with a good friend in the late 70's - early 80's
Successful business
Hard worker
Kept his word
Got into cocaine and the business was lost
Showed up at my house at 3am (mistook for his dealer I think)
Dead in less than 5 years after he showed up at my door (not even 40) and I knew his dad pretty well, wrecked that whole family

If I tried this I would be in jail But if you are homeless anything goes. Prostitution, illegal bars, IV drug use. All cool.
Here’s the thing with homeless. They are actually committing crimes out in the open. That’s when it’s time for an intervention and jail time. But instead we ignore it.

Just don't park too close to that setup or your car will get busted up and shite in.

Strangely enough, also applies if you have a home and have stuff to do.

So you didn’t whip out yours and say “y’all call that a knife? This is a knife.”
