Anyone seeing tents pop up in your area? (employment, wage, drugs)

The homeless should be removed from cities and not within sight of decent society. As I said before they should be in managed and supervised camps far from population centers.

I don't expect everyone to be compassionate but the anger at someone struggling is weird to me. To each his own I guess

No anger. Infact I try to defend them whenever folks in my family talk bad.

I can understand why people get mad though. For example, I go to a park, and it smells like human s*, and homeless were laying all around. It was disgusting, or when you wanna enter a store and your begged for change, you don't have change, but you get the guy food, he tries to take it back for a refund(clerk told me the next day that is what the dude did).

But I can't imagine how bad it would be to find yourself homeless and stuck. I remember a vid where an LAPD Officer was discussion being homeless. I forgot his exact words but he said that there's a window of opportunity to get out of homelessness during the first week. After that, your almost guaranteed to stay that way if you have no family support.

They also should not be defecating or fornicating in the streets as they have been doing, not should decent people have to face the risk of their needles all over city parks.

Wouldn't it be funny if this proposal passed and you became homeless shortly after?

Let's lock people up for vagrancy and put them into forced work camps. That sounds completely realistic...lol

I haven’t seen one homeless encampment or homeless person in my area in the long years I’ve lived in my area. Scottsdale is good in not allowing people to caca, pee and beg on our streets. Most homeless are in Phoenix, Mesa and Tempe (from what I’ve seen). And they’re in cardboard boxes. Never saw homeless in tents. That’s probably a liberal city thing.

Give it 5-10 years.

Trump says we have the greatest economy ever so why are there so many homeless people?
He's real estate guy so why doesn't he "fix it" like he says about other things.
Pointing fingers doesn't fix issues.

Utah is a very conservative state and they have a homelessness problem in Salt Lake. There is definitely a lack of affordable housing there. Lots of transplants have been moving there since the 1990s driving up the cost of housing.

I did a quick search and found lot of similar pics from Dallas.

I already posted a pic of homeless tents on Phoenix.

His 'solution' is to sweep the problem under the rug. It does not address the problem, it just removes it from his sight.
