Reply to comment by IamHere-4U in Homeless People in Lancaster CA Are Being Forced to Live in the Desert by xCeladon

Janitors at union station in LA say they need protection from being attacked while they try to work. You dont give a damn about helping people who clean up shit, get paid shit and have to go to go work everyday and get harrassed and some assaulted and treated like shit.

As fellow janitor I stand with them.

And by housing homeless people and giving them shelter and security, you keep them off the streets! In turn, they'd be less likely to commit acts of violence. This is the idea behind housing first... essentially, by housing the homeless, most are going to have happier, healthier lives and, in turn, be more tolerable to be around.

I am going be honest I have no idea how my comment ended up in a discussion between the 2 of you.

But how long is housing first going take? And who are the contractors receiving taxpayer's money?
