Its probably hard to go to work when you are flying high on heroin

because instead of taking drug addicts and schizophrenics and either gassing them or giving them treatment, we do nothing.

Wow, very authoritarian of you. Are you a stalinist?

Most people who aren't homeless, poor or working/middle class are rich.

niggers

So that's what 0.0001%?

because american think harbouring many rich people and being a rich country mean the same thing

America has more empty homes than homeless people.

Poverty in america is 100% on purpose. It's a means of control.
"Do what we say, and be grateful or you'll end up like THEM."

You don't get the worlds biggest and deadliest military empire since WW2 by accident.

With rich people comes poor people.

except we are a rich country though, hobos are in their situations voluntarily.

show flag nigger

meh. a lot of them are low IQers and/or mentally ill. it's not your own fault if you are born with an IQ of 60 or schizophrenia.

a lot of today's homeless people would be in a mental hospital, but the US shut down nearly all of the state-run mental institutions in the 60s and 70s for mixed political reasons.

and I guess so are the millions of people living in 3rd world tier conditions?

Reagan cut the safety net and said every church and synagogue should just take in ten homeless families instead.

public schools are expensive, so towns and cities don't want 'uncontrolled' housing growth. If we had free market education it wouldn't matter if people built low cost housing and moved in.

One of our core values as Americans is that we take care of immigrants, illegals and refugees before we take care of our own

democrats - pure and simple - this video will not embed but it explains alot - I keep trying to redpill blacks - not totally successful but not a failure either. Try and get blacks to watch this if you can - and please give it a view!

I live in an large city, Sacramento CA, a place with a pretty bad homeless problem due to the nice CA weather and we have a river area they camp around. Most of the homeless are mentally ill if they are older or have a drug problem if younger. There is always small percent that are legit down on the luck sorts but for the most part they have real issues of mental health.
Country doesn't have the desire or willingness to tackle the problem over all due to cost so the go to just move the homeless out of your city. Push them out of one city to another so no longer your problem. We even have suburb level homeless now as I guess they get less harassment if they are not down town.
No easy solution due to the costs.

Also due to laws that prevent forcing someone to take their meds. I mean look at that guy who dropped flyers over the NFL games a few weeks ago. If you check his facebook page he is homeless, still spend $1000+ on a drone being he feels he is fighting the CIA from taking over media by way by planting streetwalkers from Sacramento into news reporter and other media roles. How do you honestly help someone like that?!

FUCK YOUR CONDESCENDING ATTITUDE FAGGOT, GO WOLF SOME MOAR COCK IN BETWEEN YOUR LIBERAL ARTS CLASSES FUCKING CUNT

That's different. In the third world you don't have an option.

In the first world, being poor is 110% a CHOICE. it's not society's fault you are a fuckup or don't want to work. It is an option you choose.

Many people don't like to take responsibility. But that is what you get.

It's proof why we need to bring back asylums. A lot of homeless people are actually incredibly mentally disturbed, much more so than your average depressed/anxious/lonely person, at least.

Learn to read, homo. Stop processing everything as dog-whistle phrases and outrage triggers.

>That's different. In the third world you don't have an option.
nigga I was talking about the US, there are parts where they don't even have clean drinking water, it's ridiculous and pathetic for a country with this kind of wealth

Does "Burnie" still hand around Alta Arden/Howe?

Most are hardcore drug addicts and they make far more panhandling than they would at McDonalds or some shit.

They want free money and for people to notice them and feel bad

Heroin and no mental institutions. It's not people who just can't afford stuff.

The housing market crashed, then companies folded, then Obama sent jobs over seas, leaving no work, then they brought illegals in that took jobs and welfare then they brought the refugees they give the homeless no empathy nor sympathy
then the government asks us to help them, Jerry Brown just gave 1 billion dollars to the illegal aliens, there are over30 thousand homeless in L.A. alone and a lot of them are not dope addicts, that's why I say fuck all governments, they sent billions of dollars to Puerto Rico and nothing for American homeless

Pretty much this. Most are fatasses just like any other American so it's not like they're starving to death or anything.

THERE IS SANE AND SOBER PEOPLE WITH FULL-TIME JOBS WHO ARE HOMELESS

Implying that all homeless are mentally ill or drug-addicted is a lie, it's very easy to be homeless in America if you're a man, even with no mental problems or addictions.

Many homeless people's drug use has nothing to do with them being homeless, even if they didn't use drugs they'd still be homeless, and it's obvious why homeless people want to use drugs.

>Also due to laws that prevent forcing someone to take their meds.

That's some nightmare-level stuff, psychiatry is a pseudoscience, if you don't understand the problems with this you're fucking retarded.

Its mostly concentrated in California and Washington since the cost of living there has gone up and those states have mild climates and better gibs

Just look at how bad Seattle has gotten in the past few years. Literally every underpass has a homeless camp of at least 50 people. The problem is even in rich neighborhoods

because we don't have the balls to eliminate the waste of humanity

euthanize homeless and blacks

For reference, see:
>September 15, 2008
>T.A.R.P.
>"Too Big To Fail"
10's of millions worldwide were affected. we're just seeing the symptoms of a banking cartel that has taken an isolationist position, while hording money, and buying everything/anything of value for pennies on the dollar

So we’re like Qatar?

Because America has a mental health/ psychotropic drug problem in many younger people, and gives too many handouts which result in people not being independent and crashing as soon as the government stops supporting them.

And the thing is, it would be far easier for the homeless to get jobs if we didn’t have a federal minimum wage.

Absolutely. Many are VIOLENT. I live in a big city in the PNW, the big papers around here cover it up, but if you go to the smaller neighborhood papers/news sites, they seem to report it.

Because liberals encourage and enable homelessness. There are no homeless people in right wing areas, it’s mostly in democrat cities.

>except we are a rich country though, hobos are in their situations voluntarily.

Really? there are 10s or hundreds of millions of poor Americans. I heard

Because the jews

Why don't they simply move? They can jump a train and head here to Indiana--they'd find work right away if they applied to a temp service and took a shower. So many factories are hiring here that they're even hiring people with child molestation charges (one they even made a team leader at my dad's job).

how does one discern genuine psychological issues from a normal person being subject to insane situations?
>though the conditions are not the same, the treatment is; no?
>just take a pill; amirite tho?

Cause they're drug addicts, poser welfare nigs getting free gibs panhandling, and in general dumbasses living in large metro areas that are part of greater urban conglomerates with inflated rent fees.

Solution? Live in mid sized metro areas with industries but are away from meme instagram cities/california. Now please ban yourself for this meme thread OP.

>rich country
Every man, woman, child and leftist owes 60 000 dollars just by existing.

What in the fuck are you talking about, you retarded Eurofag?

> it would be far easier for the homeless to get jobs if we didn’t have a federal minimum wage.

That would create far more homeless people.

You already can't afford to live independently on minimum wage, homeless people would still be homeless with these jobs, and you would create even more homeless because you lowered wages.

Pretty fucking retarded.

Yes, maybe not outright homeless, but living paycheck-to-paycheck in poor conditions.

Damn for real? Might come to Indiana.

They're there because it's warm in winters, they would freeze to death in the winter in Indiana.

Homeless people prefer cities with a warmer climate which is why California is infested with them.
Also many Millenials who actually have jobs but are homeless because of the high of living prefer California because of its warm weather. That's why they're migrating to places like Austin or Denver

...

>Damn for real? Might come to Indiana.

Factories are hiring everywhere in Southern and Central Indiana--especially Honda, Toyota, Cummins, and their part suppliers/warehouses. Unfortunately, you may have to live in a small city like Columbus so if you're used to a place like LA or NYC, you're in for a culture shock. The cost of living is really low here, though.

Who gives a fuck? That Eurotard was implying that people have to pay off the government's debt which is shit retarded.

>Who gives a fuck?

nah theyre just faggots who wasted money on drugs

Most cities are run by spics and niggers and we all now how well their native countries are run.

That's not an argument, you fucking moron. Stop posting.

That money's gotta be repaid, burger. Why are you so triggered?

Once upon a time there was a junkie panhandler that hung out near a stop light near my friends house. When cars would stop, he would ask for change. I was bored one day and put a small chunk of powder cement into a tiny baggy that I had and put it in my console. The next time I was at the stoplight he came to my window and asked for money. I asked "do you want some brown?" and he replied "fuck yeah!". I tossed him the baggy and said be careful. Its been 6 days and we havent seen him. Do you guys think he died? Can you die from cement?

Just got back from IN, what a BS in CompSci and a 2year in Network Admin, I spent weeks in hotel just to end up getting fired from a 15 usd job in Indy.

Lucky NY took me back... Fuck indy

I'm triggered because you're stupid as fuck. People aren't forced to pay back the government because the government is in debt. That Eurotard implied that every American is 60,000 dollars in debt because the government is. That's fucking retarded. No one is born into debt here like that.

It's a weird phenomena. I've been living in the US for a while now and what I've noticed is most people have absolutely zero motivation to go to urban centers. When the streets are exceptionally empty, except for during peak business hours, all the people you see are homeless people. It's just the ratio in the urban centers that make the density of homeless people so much more pronounced in the US cities. I don't think they have more than any other country in general. And honestly they are kinda okay as long as they're not pushy beggars.

America is weird.

So your solution is fleeing?

Very brave

guys probably stoned out of his mind right now

In my state I have seen many homes taken from people. These now vacant homes are then raped of copper ect by the people who no longer have house or job (some are drug addicts) these houses then become blight and then the rest of the tax payers are forced to foot the bill for demolishing these homes. It's fuct. There are enough houses for everybody! I don't advocate taking private property, but when the state holds houses it can't sell only to need more money to tear them down , we have a problem.

You're stuck somewhere between the 80s and 90s. Wake up.

I don't live in Indy, but 15 dollars an hour is decent starting pay here in Columbus--at least as a blue collar factory worker. You'd live rather comfortably on that.

>BS in CompSci and a 2year in Network Admin

Indiana isn't exactly the place to look for work within the technological sector.

...

Wrong.

The Community Mental Health Act of 1972 closed many asylums that used to hold the mentally ill and disabled. So, now they wander the streets and stay drunk or high.

Additionally, some take up the homeless life as a choice. I had a friend from high school who now staggers around the streets of Seattle looking for freebies and opportunities to get high.

It's a choice for a majority of homeless.

Much of the US is functionally third world (in metrics such as unemployment, infrastructure, health outcomes, addiction rates, personal indebtedness, etc) and has been for sometime.

Wasn't a choice Hunter Harris destroyed my dad's job as a car man for NorthFolk Southern, so I went over to help him. Fort Wayne is a great city but the whole state is a total bust outside of that one city.

Like I said I had to give up and abandon my family...

China owns a very small fraction of US debt the vast majority is held by private individuals. The kicker being neither of those froups have the means to forxe payment by the Fed and the people dont owe shit.

Those cities also have lots of gibs. Didn't they tell you not to feed the animals, lest they become dependent on handouts?

Dude, our unemployment rate is like 4 percent and our infrastructure is actually rather good. We beat out Japan, Canada, and most of Europe. I love how the media jumps all over the infrastructure meme in order to justify the government spending trillions of dollars tearing up roads, paving them, tearing up the same road, and then repaving it again and again even though there is nothing wrong with it. Seriously--fuck road construction workers.

lpi.worldbank.org/international/global?order=Infrastructure&sort=asc

Aaahh yes Seattle. My first day there was the first and last time I saw a person squat and shit in the middle of the road.

Absolutely majestic.

You must live in a city where the elites also live.

Of course those are nice; the elites aren't going to tolerate Guatemalan tier roads, a healthcare infrastructure inferior to Thailand or internet access+speeds inferior to Nigeria.

Get off the interstates and really take a good luck at this place; it's fucking falling apart.

over the last few decades whites have been systematically replaced by foreign workforce army. millions of formerly productive whites have been expelled from the workforce due to fabricated economic crisis that was designed to import millions of foreigners in their place.

companies have been downsizing whites while importing foreigners, this is the cause of homelessness.
this isnt genocide of old times, they got sophisticated methods these days.

utilizing the hidden forces of economy as a proxy for genocide is one of the cleanest methods.

It's not about wealth. As hard as it is for civilized people to grasp, these people want to live on the streets. Some of it is mental illness, but they don't want to live a normal life with apartment rents and responsibilities. I actually know of a homeless man who berated a social worker for trying to change him. They'll take the gibs when handed to them, but they don't want to be bothered into living a literally sheltered life. They have friends and networks on the streets where they are, and that is the life they are used to. Do-gooders are like "we have to help these helpless people!" without realizing these people don't want to go elsewhere.

You know, I want to empathize, but most of them here (Denver) are such abysmal wastes of carbon I can't help but want to gas them all.

Poor mean earning less than 60k/year and/or having no savings account. No financial net. We have so many programs and stuff that you have to actually work to become homeless. That's why the homeless vet thing is total bullshit because the VA gives so mamy benefits that you have to work to be honeless. People are homeless by choice. Especially since they live in an expensive ass city outside their means rather than working and renting an apartment in more rural area.

...

millions of whites starved to death during the ((great depression)). whites are docile and would just die instead of rioting and eliminating the elite that created the economic genocide.

same thing happened after the fall of USSR. do this to blacks on the other hand, and the whole country will be up in flames like in SA.

Neat. But how do you avoid suffocating overnight?

Crack and hopelessness

No.

only smart city people are homeless. try finding homeless rural retards

Badum tss!

>millions of destitute whites keeps growing daily
>betrayed and replaced by a race replacement globalist dictatorship
>forced to die and disappear
>not even giving a fight

if the homeless arent starting an uprising, the future looks grim for you autists.

The thing is with homeless people, is that most people believe they all have a tragic back story that had lead them there. The reality is that the majority chooses to be like that. They like the idea of being able to wake up whenever they want, not having to worry about work, or bills to pay. They get to be as lazy as they want. And a lot of them still get government benefits.

I live in Lodi, CA. A flood of homeless people who I've never seen before just appeared this winter because of the milder winters in California.

The cheapest studio apartment in Lodi is $760 a month. A year ago, that same apartment cost only $550 a month. It shows you just how fast prices are rising even in the Central Valley of California- where there aren't even high paying tech jobs.

I personally think the only real solution to American homelessness is to construct these large Communist style apartment blocks. They are very efficient in terms of space, energy and money. They could have shared common spaces, kitchens, and bathrooms, with a private bedroom.

In a lot of the Invisible People interviews I see. The homeless are elderly people who have physical or mental disabilities. They get some income through SSI, VA benefits, and social security, but its not enough to rent an apartment.

Those 1-bedroom and studio apartments are for people who practice capitalism. Many of our homeless practice socialism, they cannot expect an apartment designed for capitalists when they practice socialism.

All homeless people in America are heroin addicts or hopeless alcoholics. Even someone who works at McDonalds can get split a one bedroom apartment.

Like a parasite, this temporary and transportable shelter for the homeless is dependent on a host, in this case the outtake duct of a building’s HVAC (heating, ventilation, and air-conditioning) system. In 1997 Rakowitz proposed a prototype of this shelter to Bill Stone, a homeless man in Cambridge, Massachusetts. At the time, city officials were installing tilted grates over air vents in Harvard Square so that homeless people could not sleep on them. Rakowitz created the first paraSITE homeless shelter from discarded materials, including Ziploc bags and packing tape. Now it is made of polyethylene, a common type of plastic. He has custom-made dozens of similar shelters that are in use in several East Coast cities. They cost approximately five dollars to make and are provided free of charge.

When paraSITE was first introduced, many of the users of saw it as a from of social protest shouting slogans like, “We beat you, Uncle Sam!”1

Michael Rakowitz envisioned his design as something that ideally would become obsolete. “These shelters should disappear like the problem should,” Rakowitz has said. “In this case, the real designers are the policymakers.”2

same here in Michigan.. local factory to me hires at least 20 a week.. this gen is so soft most of them only work a few days before they quit. They just can't keep up with the 45yr old women who've been working there for years.

Nice.

A broom?!?,But why?

They're in Lodi because they're being pushed North/Inland because SD, LA, and the Bay are all so expensive that they know they have no chance there.

I live in Santa Monica, it's pretty ridiculous that I pay $2000/mo for a 1BR (which is considered pretty good here) and have to tell people to get the fuck out of our complex patio every other day.

Honestly don't get why they don't just collect these people and haul them to interment camps in the desert.

They are drug addicts that get money begging without having to hold down a job. Some turn it into a career and make a surprising amount of cash.

Many do it because they choose to or they are living out the consequences of their actions or decisions.

Many of them are either born mentally ill or turned that way through drugs or alcohol. Kennedy got rid of mental institutions aka Asylums because they were 'mean' but in the end those people just filtered out into society. They need to be brought back.

No, some people just don’t want to work. Being homeless in America is most often a choice, unless you’re batshit insane.

tfw no dead friends to drink melted snow with

hey, paid leaf nigger, proof or stfu
i've seen the "more empty houses" crap before
just because it's on a graphic doesn't make it true.

how much do they pay you to do this?

In America we have freedom, which means the freedom to make poor life choices. You can measure how free a nation is by how much inequality exists in it

the places with bad water "michigan" have been controlled by niggers that pissed the money for infrastructure on whatever niggers piss money away on. then they blame the white governor for shitty pipes from 30 years ago
