Back in the day in NYC, 1800's, the homeless would sleep in the basements of police stations. Now there's an idea!
Nah, police nowadays are big meanies. Let them stay with folks that welcome them and defend their behavior. Anything else would be hypocritical….and don’t forget about the illegals. They deserve free stuff too.
Ding-ding! The U.S. fertility rate has fallen to 1.6. Ideally, 2.3.
The falling fertility rate around the whole world is going to eventually make illegals the next gold mine. Grab em' while you can! Within time, countries will be fighting over them.
Shows what idiots we have running things. They want people to do this. But the housing and eviction rules are so strict. You would get a crack addict or worse in you home or property. And no way to evict.
Liberals just seem to make things worse and no common sense. We already see how many have died from the defund the police. And how well it is working with areas they are allow to buy, sell and use drugs.
SAN JOSE, Calif. — As the Bay Area continues to struggle under the weight of its homelessness crisis, officials and nonprofits are asking local residents to do more than hand out meals or donate spare change. They’re asking them to open up their homes.
Nearly 30,000 people are unhoused in the five-county Bay Area, and there isn’t nearly enough room in the region’s existing affordable housing developments. To fill the gaps, service providers increasingly are recruiting private landlords to take in homeless tenants. Some property owners are renting out entire units in exchange for agreements that the government or a nonprofit will cover the rent. Others are offering up spare bedrooms in their homes – sometimes in exchange for a small stipend, and sometimes as a purely charitable act.
But it’s hard to find owners willing to take a chance on someone down on their luck. At least one program recently ended because of a lack of landlord interest . . . "
Every politician who votes for these policies should be required to take these people into their homes. They live in huge homes and can afford it. See how long they’ll be pushing for bail reform once they have to live with the consequences of their policies.
I think it was originally posted in the California forum - but that is a safe space for Dems and wokesters - hence the comment to move it to here.
No, I posted in the renting forum. Since it involved landlords being asked to rent to these people.
I also dont understand why it was moved.
