This is what happens, you kick a guy out of town ten miles one day. He doesn’t walk back the next day. He tries to survive there. Well maybe there’s no food, so he walks the minimum distance he needs to in order to eat. Maybe 3 miles. Now he has food, well does he have shelter and can he sleep? If so then he puts up shop there as long as he is allowed. Well that town doesn’t want him so they kick him out, he moves again until he finds food and shelter again. And rinses and repeats.
San Fran is not an ideal please to be homeless. They created this by making it the easiest place around. Now, there’s so much BS infrastructure to help them and no pressure for them to leave. They have absolutely no reason to go elsewhere.

But our argument is that anyone so abnormal to the point they choose to be homeless is suffering from something more than some minor issue or personality quirk.
A lot of these people do have families and support systems,
That's the thing baw, they alot of the time travel in groups. They chose their friends and fun time over family. Their friends are their support system, it's almost nomadic and tribal. Some people say it could be part of the primal human psyche. Like being in a band and on tour, can be addictive in ways.
And if it's like that..then they are NEVER really too bored. There is always something going on somewhere each day, because someone is scheming. I dont know if its mental illness or masochistic, maybe with some, not with all..but that could be with anything. Depends on the person, I wouldn't want to live "poor" if I didnt have to, and put up with shady people on a daily basis.
Like with this kind of shite. Port Allen, LA in 2006 murder
That's a sad case, traveling couple who had family and were just in the lifestyle of it. They found themselves in louisiana where he had family.. he was early 30s, she was early 20s. They befriend some guys from florida, who they didnt know were on the run and happened to break down on I10 near BR. They decide later that night to kidnap the couple at machete and knife point from an outdoor sleep area, took them out in the woods where they beat him down and tied him up with his boot laces, then make him watch as they brutally and repeatedly rape his girlfriend to which she doesnt fight, as long as they stop hurting him. So they do and they finish, then main guy walks over and slams a knife down into his chest, let's him die like that. Throw his body into the intercoastal canal..and take her back to an abandoned Texaco to rape for the rest of the day. She is able to escape when someone hears her cries, she lived through this ordeal and took the stand to testify. Unfortunately killed herself 3 years later from what witnesses described as her purposely walking in front of a MAX train here in portland.
At least the killers were caught, the main guy was sentenced to death.

It says something when even the homeless are obese.
Not really. It's pretty well known these days that cheaper food is vastly more unhealthy for you.
It says the homeless can stay well fed. Not necessarily healthily nourished, but in some cases that is by choice. Some folks would rather eat fatty foods than a healthier foods, even if given options.

You make areas where it’s illegal to ask for handouts on the street and illegal to sleep. It takes an actual backbone, but you do that and they all go somewhere else where living is easier for them.
Why don’t we put them all to sleep and bulldoze their filthy shite into a big barn fire? Think how much nicer these areas would be and how much better it would be for the environment- after the fire burns itself out.

Fresh dye job on the hair, too. Homeless chic.

I believe this is the stuff that the aclu pushes back on.

I worked in social work for 10 years and there’s a certain portion of the population that simply wants to live by doing the absolute minimum they have to in order to survive
The professionals, they know exactly where to go and what to say to get whatever they can. They suck up resources that could be used for those that actually need help, instead it goes to useless fricks that do nothing but play the system.

If LSU makes it to the national championship game in New Orleans this year, I'm renting this dude's room out...within walking distance to the Dome too.

Looks like some leftover crawfish shells on the ground around her chair.

Knew a guy that used to shite in McDonald's bags and hand them to homeless people by Gravier and Claiborne St.
"God bless you sir.."
"Yeah, yeah, have a nice meal"
He must have been homeless too because only a homeless person would choose to walk down Claiborne (or if he handed it to them out of his car, completely insane for carrying his own shite in his car and having his car smell like shite).

This is an impressive documentary, worth the one hour watch, about how it happened in Seattle.

About the guy with the paintings and bed made, I read an article on him recently and it said he just fell on hard times and is trying to get housing, but just can't afford anything right now. I believe someone who owns apartments saw his story and is trying to help him secure an apartment. Here is an excerpt:
Martin explained that he found most of the décor near a Central City dumpster. He surmises that someone had moved out of an apartment, leaving belongings behind. “Every time we find something, we add it,” Royal said.
The meticulously arranged scene is as clean as the environment allows. It’s a point of pride. Royal explained that neither man ordinarily sleeps in the red magnolia bed. One sleeps in a nearby sleeping bag on the pavement, the other on a cot.
“The bed is for the Lord,” Martin said.
Royal and Martin’s unexpected art display and domestic scene is popular with commuters who honk and shout words of appreciation as they pass. “They wave and smile and take pictures all day,” Royal said. A few circle back for a second look.
“Some people say, ‘Your house looks better than my house,’ Martin said, laughing. To him, the small patch of domesticity is a way of demonstrating dignity in spite of his situation. He said he hopes his fellow homeless people notice that they don’t have to live “all junked up.”

You can take away the services, but police can’t physically move/remove the homeless.
Without investing in a solution, removing them is just harassing them for harassments sake in many cases

It also just shifts the problem from one community to the next. Like the bussing the homeless out of town for major events.

The ladies in the first pic ain't missing any meals. They actually look pretty comfortable too.
