Where are all the homeless in PCB these days? I’ve seen a couple crashing under the bridge at Lake Powell from time to time. I’ve been told a couple camped briefly across back beach from Pier Park. I know those left suddenly and haven’t been back. I just see them rarely any more.

Every POS who gets out of jail in Ohio and heads to Florida for that “fresh start.”

News flash. If you were a loser drug addict criminal in Ohio you will have no problems fitting in down in the Sunshine State.

Ironically, it parallels the migration of snow birds that come to FL for the winter. It makes sense, but how do they get here seasonally? You don’t see many now in south FL when it pours everyday

Yea, we as a country need to quit being so lenient with these drug addicts.

think St Pete is worse than Nola in terms of hobos. That area by the park downtown is loaded with them.




I guess I'm not paying attention. I feel like I don't see many homeless in the area.

Palm Beach County isn't bad. It was worse 10 years ago, honestly. Rarely see people on the corner begging anymore.

I think the solution here is to make it legal to eat the homeless people till we get the populations down. Kind of like with the nutria population.

West Palm had a bad homeless problem when we had a liberal female mayor who wouldn’t let the police enforce the loitering laws.

Now we have a more business friendly black dude mayor who has actually had open public fights with the idiot white prog pro BLM restaurant owners. The mayor has cleaned up downtown. There are homeless but they aren’t allowed to be aggressive like they were under the last dumbass. But we will always have homeless because of the weather.

I was very recently in Downtown West Palm (right near Clematis). Aggressive homeless people all over the place. If that was "cleaned up," I would have hated to see it before.

For all their faults, Orlando does a decent job at containing the homeless situation.

God bless all the fine folks who fall on tough times and become homeless but being homeless in the US with all the free money and programs and all sorts of help available just seems so inexcusable to me unless you have a serious criminal record

In Fort Lauderdale they have homeless intervention police. They’ll let the hobos do their thing until it’s tourist season and then they’ll kick them out and drop them off at the bus station. It’s great.

A double wide infested with roaches and a kiddie pool in the front yard, isn’t a far step above homeless.

St. Pete has its fair share of homeless people, but it’s not even in the same league as Denver or most of the major cities in the country.

I see zero evidence of it in Destin.


It's not wise for the homeless to live where everything is overpriced including alcohol.

If I worked at a beach bar, and my responsibility was to clean or other menial tasks. You bet your arse I’d find a bum to do it for a cheap bottle.
