Oh. Just read the plot line. You're, uh, suggesting a solution to homelessness.

I, on behalf of NYC, apologize.

Startling how the number increased when budget cuts forced closings of State Mental Hospitals.

Gonna have to agree with drafter... A lot of the homeless I see are in their 20s/30s... no way they're from that fiasco

It's not that more than a very few (if any) of those currently homeless are FROM the time of those closings ... a great many ARE, however, on the street due to the lack of mental health facilities which they need ...

We have very few homeless and vagrants in our community. The policy is for police to pick them up, buy them a bus ticket, and ship them out (guessing to California LOL). The multi-millionaire home-owners and ski bums don't like the site of them. And there is concern about how their presence will effect tourism.

My wife used to treat a few when she worked community health in the adjacent County. A number of them live in the caves left from the Native American tribes that used to be here.

It isn't difficult to understand why cities like NYC and SF are the way they are....they leave themselves wide open for it with their sanctuary cities who'll provide endless social welfare and pay for it with transfer of OTHER FOLKS WEALTH to re-distribute to the " needy ".


SO none? Already knew that though...and the question wasn't difficult, just yes or no.

that doesn't even begin to make sense...

you claim that sf and nyc are overrun with homeless because they redistribute the wealth to the poor... then why are they still homeless?

I mean, if they're redistributing wealth, what do the homeless people do with the bags of money that robin hood keeps dropping off to them each night?

are they re-redistibuting it to illegal immigrants? that would be the only way I could make sense of your mention of "sanctuary cities" since homelessness and immigration have no tangible link to one another...

Most cities have limited bus and train routes to their neighboring suburbs. The homeless are essentially trapped in urban areas.They have no insurance and depend on Medicaid/Medicare which is readily accepted at county (urban) hospitals. Also, city cops are more tolerant than suburban cops. So your suburb is safe. Take a deep breath.

Finally, is your reasoning so simplistic (aka Trumpian) that you actually think anything short of opening my doors to homeless folks makes it hypocritical for me to post an excerpt from A Christmas Carol signifying my sentiments? And btw, do you really have No compassion for these sick/destitute people? Again, your choice.
So my volunteering at soup kitchens, mentoring kids, and charitable donations don't count. Wait! You're not homeless, are ya?..Maybe I should reconsider...?...ok, nah. *locks door
Yeah, I don't know how to solve homelessness but I DO know it's not simple (Trumpian) and I sure as hell know I don't want YOU in charge of it especially now as I hear the actual gas chambers from Auschwitz are on sale at Ebay.

the crack dealers then sink those proceeds back into the economy by spending needlessly on things like expensive vehicles with flashy rims, big screen tv's, and fur coats...

sounds like trickle down economics to me...
