Every city will have them soon.
Until we figure out a problem for the homeless.

it's not subsidized housing for sure.... A friend of mine in NOLA owns about a dozen rent houses... 9 are section 8 and in "rough" areas... the other 3 are in metry/lakeview... his profit margin on the section 8 houses is nearly twice his margin on the others....


homelessness isn't the problem.. it is merely a symptom of other compounded problems.

I honestly don't know what you do with them short of incarcerating them against their will. Some of them are down on their luck, and with the right services can reintegrate into society. But a lot of them are mentally unstable and/or addicts, who would rather live a sketchy lifestyle than abide by the rules of the organizations trying to help them. The shelter won't let them drink or drug, so they live on the street (or in the woods).

You tell them if they want to live in the woods then move to the Appalachian trail.

They're doing some sort of "outreach" there today. They brought everyone doughnuts. I'm not kidding. Check the EBRSO's Facebook page. There's pictures.

It’s just a front for a sting operation. They are doing surveillance on the hobos.
