Imagine just blaming people for being homeless instead of volunteering or giving money to local shelters

As someone very close to being homeless or sucks. I lucky have friends helping me but been looking for a job for 9 months after my profit record breaking company decided to fire me a top performer because I voiced I didn’t want to come back to work in the office

I can’t sure because they were layoffs but you don’t fire someone doing 120% on average The only time I dipped under 100 percent production was when we didn’t have enough work

I think the issue is not just being homeless.

It's the mess, the smell, some people feel unsafe with the louder “eccentric” individuals, etc.

We have homeless people that have moved into our neighborhood park. At first, I didn't mind as the folks who were sleeping there policed themselves and kept things clean. But then a few new people started staying there and they were the more “crazy kind” and that's when the first few folks left and things got bad. Now they're leaving their trash all around where they sit all day, and they're urinating and defecating on the concrete even though there are bathrooms.

People in the area are starting to call the cops and quite frankly I’d be all for the store next to the park blasting music if it made the park safe for our kids again.

I’m not going to defend shitty behavior but this country had been ignoring these people for years and their are clear solutions to help them but we keep voting in assholes who only care about profiting the rich and businesses

Maybe if voters voted on people with better ideas then telling homeless people to just leave, we’d not have to be dealing with this situation
