I steady see 2-3 half naked people there that act like they’re in some demonic trance, eyes rolled back and shaking. Right next to the street too.

How about they stop doing drugs and take a shower and some pride in how they look. I bet if they did that they’d find a way to not be living under the expressway
Surprised there are people still this ignorant. This kind of thing is rarely a character issue.

Mentally ill and drug addicted people don't have the life skills to buy tents, camping stoves and other creature comforts to make living outside easier.

People who build a makeshift shelter of cardboard are ill and deserve help and charity. Those who beg for money to buy tents at Wal-Mart are actively deciding to be deadbeats.

News flash, begging for money and being homeless are already illegal. New Orleans could clear up the homeless problem in a weekend with night sticks, a paddy wagon and a garbage truck if they really wanted to address the problem.

My wife has started telling our kids they'll end up living under the overpass if they don't do their homework and listen to their parents. Straight As across the board!

Some believe it but it's not a great strategy. Either they don't believe you or you end up being interviewed by CPS.

I always think to myself that if I was homeless I would go live in the national forest. The reality is that I would be kicked out within days for any number of forest service violations. Somehow we manage to police the remote forest better than the cities.

Yea...probably not. Next time you see one holding a sign claiming to be a veteran, call his bluff. Ask him what his MOS was.



There are over 40,000 homeless veterans. This is a fact. Much easier to turn the other cheek and just call them all lazy though. Put your cognitive dissonance in your pipe and keep smoking it.

Jindal and others cut mental health spending.

I'm not talking about the idiot yankee snobs who want to grow a beard and do urban camping. Truly homeless people, the vast majority of them are so mentally ill that they have no ability to hold down a job or do anything functional.



Everyone cut mental health funding and closed facilities from the federal government to local municipalities- of both parties. This isn’t a partisan issue.

So, where should they live?

Not saying, they aren’t out of control, just not sure where they would go instead.

I almost forgot to relay this story. a few months ago I was stopped at the redlight at st. Charles under the overpass. there was a very large tent set up to my right (as I was headed uptown). A bum/homeless/panhandler (a guy that looked legit like he makes it on the streets but must derive cash in some manner walks up) another fairly well dressed man (read pimp) took a large wad of cash from him and the man when in. The pimp then summoned a girl (imagine OT 0.25) from a nearby car in her basically bra mini skirt and leather boots. both went into the tent.

Maybe...but the clowns that I have seen were not.

Was she worth the cash you gave the pimp? Personally, I'd get a better hooker than an OT 0.25 but if that's your thing, to each his own.
