I listened to a podcast one time. I can’t recall the guest’s name, but he was a guy who spent a lot of time helping the homeless. He was convinced that there are a good number of people you could do everything for and they’d still prefer to live the lifestyle of a homeless person. They would make that choice every time.

They will do it here. They won't do it by walking around said city after dark, away from crowds.

Nobody is stopping you from opening your own home to the homeless. You can do this at your will immediately. I’m sure you can give all of your excess money to the homeless and leave just enough for you to live on. Nothing is holding you back. Do it. I’m not the one trying to shame and guilt people in here for taking care of their families. Life is hard enough for me. I look at myself first before shaming others.

This is your response to someone saying there aren’t homeless shelters in suburbs so the homeless in those areas must go to cities for shelter and services.

i don’t think that’s true now, what year was that?
Also what is New Orleans murder rate today vs the mid 90’s?
that some of you think you can out debate me is adorable

Do you think murder was spread evenly across the city 40 years ago?

much moreso than it is today by a wide margin

We don’t have permanent homeless shelters because we don’t need a permanent homeless problem. You add shelters and you draw more homeless people. Then you get the pandering, the drug problems, then the well intentioned but poorly thought out programs that turn into tax obligations, and blight.
For people that generally and genuinely don’t want help.

Is this based primarily on the 5 o'clock action news and people's social media algorithm figuring out that people respond to posts about crime?
I'm not about to read 21 pages of this thread, so if someone else has already said this, oh well.
I think it's based on a few things:
1. When crime was at its worst in America we did not have social media or a couple hundred 24 hour news outlets reporting bad stuff all the time. So there is a large swath of people who think that violent crime is worse now than it was in the early 90s when it's actually significantly better. The dumbest of those people will actually claim that the statistics are rigged and don't believe the data. (Those people also listen to Huckster Carlson, but that's a different thread).
2. All of the worst ideas in America are most popular in cities. This includes the idea that shoplifters shouldn't be detained/arrested/prosecuted. And that idea IS relatively new. Cities are where rioting takes place, cities are where idiotic protests take place, etc. And there have been more of these since COVID.
3. This is kind of a piggyback on #2, but it's not just the worst ideas about crime that happen the most in cities. It could be anything from rampant DEI to allowing homeless people to dook on the sidewalk.
And again, the egregiousness of those ideas has gotten much worse over the past 10 or so years.

You are wrong about social media.
I remember how lovely and nice the San Francisco Bay Area was. I saw it slowly getting worse, starting with San Francisco and the moving south to my area, Almaden Valley in San Jose.
I remember when you could forget to lock your car, and it would be ok. Now, even locked cars aren't safe.
I used to never see homeless people in the south bay, now there are tent cities all over San Jose.
The freeways used to have beautiful ice plant landscaping, and now there are homeless people.
There use to not be graffiti everywhere.
The police use to respond to burglaries. Now, you fill out a report online, but the police don't come out
I remember Dallas too. It used to be safe. San Jose was safer than Dallas when I first moved to SJ. San Jose fell more than Dallas.
I wish I had picture from when I first moved to the Bay area to compare them.

In 1960, the population of New Orleans was 627,525. Today it's about half that. Meaning you're bragging about 1/2 year rates that are literally TWICE what they were in 1960.
But by comparison (pathetically), hopefully the numbers you're quoting hold, because they'd be an improvement.

You don't actually believe crime stats have remained consistent in their tabulations?
