The answer is to follow what Maxine Waters did several weeks ago in downtown San Francisco.

She went down and told the homeless to go home.

Really happened.

No easy or quick solution. Good fiscal policy to increase prosperity, closed border, and an overhaul of public education wouldn’t hurt.

The problem is so bad that I am convinced it takes a pretty good distribution management system to get that many drugs to that many homeless. Be interesting to unravel who is behind that system.

Addicts aren't going to change until they want to change no matter how much your heart bleeds for them. Addicts are like children from broken homes, masters at lying and manipulating to get their way. Whenever you think that you're helping an addict, you should ask yourself if you're really helping them or if you're just enabling them.

One part should be given to a government agency who will spend it to provide housing and the second part would be paid to the beneficiary. This would end the financial benefit of being homeless and encourage them to leave the streets.

The solution to homelessness and substance abuse is called JOBS you fugking moron.

When there are lots of JOBS there is less substance abuse.

Money does bring happiness and productivity despite what some commie cock suckers want everyone to believe.

Some people just ain't right.

I've been helping out a guy in his 70's who has anger issues and its ruined his life. Can't get along with anyone. Can't let little things go. Mentally he is stuck between age 15-17. Can't understand cause and effect. Can't learn from painful experiences. Can't keep his damn mouth shut. Has to try and be the world's policeman. Ain't got a pot to piss in but expects to be treated like a guest at Mara Lago at the various subsidized places he has lived. Estranged from family from being an [bleep]. Can't afford rent for a single family house on his social security....is financially stretched even living in subsidized housing.

I've got him off the street twice but I have told him he is on his own the next time he effs up. He does not drink, does not do drugs.......he just ain't right. To talk to him casually, you would never know.

Jobs is a good start, but is not enough - there are plenty of those.
It is jobs plus the consequences of not having one, i.e., No "Programs"

Swim or Sink.

That'll solve the issue.

Fixt it for you.

These people have zero interest in ending their addiction. The Govt. has zero interest in winning the war on drugs because they are in on it. Efforts have always gone on the supply side. If they really wanted to end it, they would dry up the demand side.

Sounds like the guy who my parents "adopted" in the early 1970s. He doesn't drink or do drugs, but he has his way of doing things and won't give an inch. My parents bought a little self-sufficient farm for him to live on and put it into a trust that pays the taxes, insurance, and provides a monthly stipend of $1K to suppliment what he gets from the SSI due to his PTSD. He was really unhappy when my parents passed and they didn't leave him the property that he lives on or give him control of the trust.

I agree that many are mentally ill. But currently the most are drug addicts.

Need to use the homeless lobby's words (against them). Mental illness is a disease. Addiction is a disease. We should treat the mentally ill. We should treat the addicts. If they are so ill that they are living on the streets then they are a threat to themselves and others (read hygiene and things like typhus).

So commit those diseased living on the streets to treatment. If they refuse then jail. If they refuse to stay on treatment, jail.

But living on the streets is not an option.

The policy of creating false victim narratives to give 75% of the population blanket coverage for being a POS is a big part of the problem. If a person can’t respect themselves they’ll never respect anyone/anything else.
Being productive and self supportive breeds self respect.

Our leaders detest strong, self reliant, successful people that they can’t control.
