get the tax dollar angle, and that’s fair, but I would encourage reading up on some of the success stories too, getting people off the street and into job programs. Many homeless people have mental issues or major health problems, or have simply made terrible life choices. I’m always shocked at the number who come from affluent families.


I agree but you can’t coddle them. The point in the article is simply giving them a home won’t fix them.

I support offering them rehabilitation though detox, mental health services, and jobs programs. But also some people aren’t fixable and it needs to be a 3 strike system. After that you’re never breathing free air again, either institutionalize them or other options

Birmingham Mayor Woodfin is going to build a homeless people park. I bet it will be great.

Make sure you are paying your fair share.


Jokes on him. All Birmingham parks already are homeless people parks.

This sounds a lot like shitty parenting.

I actually don’t mind feral. It could be used to describe wider swath than just our legacy homeless.

C'mon bruh, sounds exactly like how 70's and 80's kids were raised.

Are you a helicopter parent or just trying to get forum cred?

They're just going to tear it up. Do none of these "do-gooders" have any common sense or life experience at all?

Many more are just people who enjoy living on the fringes of society. These are people who legitimately can support themselves if they wanted. They are living the way they do out of choice. For the few who are mentally ill they should be given refuge. For the ones on drugs there are several treatment options, but most would just rather stay high. So out of all of those there is only one group who really needs help. The rest should just be shipped off to a remote island.

They don't want the real answer to a lot of the things that laws and politicians can't or won't resolve.

My vote is that anybody who voted for Biden or Kamala has to house 2-3 of them.

Problem. There are already feral humans. They come from Haiti and other third world countries, and American ghettos.

Overwhelming homeless are dope heads of have gotten too old to be dope heads. Plain and simple. That’s the major issue here.

Ding ding ding. What a testament to modern conservatism that the fastest way to earn upvotes here is to ridicule an active Catholic married mother of 3 who volunteers and works with marginalized members of society.

I hate this new stupid PC term. What these morons don’t get is that “homeless” is already the new PC terminology, replacing bum, vagrant, hobo, etc.


The new term is actually “unhoused”.
