Pretty much.

Severe mental illness and drug use tend to be tops on the list of reasons why people are homeless.

John Doe looking to fix his life can typically crash with someone for a while so he can work and build up money.

Randy Baw looking to get fricked up on someone else's dime, not so much.

I like it. It conveniently corrals them all into one area for extermination.


FIFY.

I can solve the homeless problem if you have the stomach for it.

After the first assault there they will get sued.

If not, it will be a hellscape within days.

Also, did they turn the 15 year old away? That seems to be "problematic" for both alternatives.

Hold up. If there are more than 2 genders how does this equal 100%?

Thinking that ”behaviour” is what makes people homeless is equally as smart as thinking that the lack of affordable housing makes people homeless.

It’s probably out of desperation. IDK if the homeless men are gay any more than men who have sex in prison are gay.

Many people don’t have a home because of an illness or because they lost their job.


In this country 99% of homeless either have severe mental illness, drug addiction or usually both.

Being homeless because you lost your job doesn’t really exist in 2019.

Want to explain why cities in California that have many benefits for the homeless have such epidemic homeless problems?

I applaud these folks for the efforts. Their hearts are in the right place, but I think reality will ruin everything.

Your ignorance isn't my problem. Virtually all physicians agree on what the problem is--some of them have podcasts. I recommend Dr. Drew. Good luck.
