But being homeless is not a crime. Thanks for playing.
True. But vagrancy, loitering, and squatting are. So is panhandling and begging.
I said crimes that come along with homelessness.
You just aren't very good at this whole reading thing, are you?
I know, but being homeless isn't
You said chronically homeless; no mentions of them being criminals were made in your proposal.
Except where the mentions of crime associated with homelessness were made. :shrug:
I dont understand why they dont create work camps for the chronically homeless and give them something to do that grants a sense of purpose, financial stability to pay for the camp, and removal from the streets and, consequently, the opportunity for crime.
Your original post:
You didn't mention crimes committed by homeless people, only that the chronically homeless are to be put into the program.
No? What did you do?"Taylor makes sensible post" -- all lies.
See what I did there?
No? What did you do?
Guess not...I didn't think you were sharp enough to catch on...
Guess not...
No, I was referring to the "Will work for food" signs that many homeless people hold up. Not too long ago they did an episode of 20/20 or dateline or one of those shows where a guy walked up to people with said signs, offered them a a job for a meal, and had no takers. It was in reference to your "work camps" idea before I read the part about them being involuntary.I took a completely subjective statement, totally unquantifiable, and used it to slam people I didn't know.
Just like you did.
Can you not ****ing read
What do you think, and I quote what you just quoted, "consequently, the opportunity for crime" means? Also, did you not read the other 4 or 5 posts that referenced the same issue?
I can Jallman, and yelling won't convince me otherwise.
let me make sure i understand your post, given your far right wing stanceI am advocating Mental Health services. Nothing more, nothing less. They are always the first on the chopping block when savings comes into play, and it's not right. These people (those in need of Mental Health services) are usually the most in need, and the most defenseless.

Obama vows to end homelessness in 10 years | McClatchy
Do you think we'll "end homelessness among some of society's most vulnerable groups within the next decade"?
I'm not sure you read the whole article. It's much more than stable housing..Oh, sure, right after we perfect cold fusion, start colonies on Mars, and end partisan politics.
It is a worthwhile goal, of course, but in ten years? No way. If it were just a matter of building houses, it could be done, but it is a lot more complex than that.
The plan is a significant breakthrough because there's never been a comprehensive federal effort to end homelessness with a timeline and measureable goals,
Obviously reading doesn't either.
Redding California Homeless News - 8/6/2010
Reported by: Elizabeth Gadley
Email: egadley@khsltv.com
"Homeless living in a tent city in Redding are about to be evicted. Authorities say 20 to 30 people live in the camp behind Eastside Road and Technology Way.
To many of them, the network of tents is their neighborhood and the people their family.
“People live in houses and all that, that’s home to them. We live in tents and these are our homes to us. And we cook dinners together, go shopping together,” says Ronda Valdez, fighting back tears.
Last week she lost a loved one. Clarence Edger Thompson, 43, who was stabbed to death in the area, lived in a neighboring camp.
Valdez just found out she about to lose the rest of her community because police are planning to close the camp.
“It’s sad, what are they going to kick us out to find another spot?” says a worried Valdez."

The homeless should be put in the military where they will receive food and shelter and can serve a useful purpose. Or send them to Mumbai where no one will notice!

The problem is that they are living illegally on land they don't own. So, community fail. Squatters don't have rights.
This is true, but sad.
Every stinking square inch of the US is owned and fenced by someone. People have to be somewhere, yet there's nowhere to go.
