    More tent cities popping up everywhere.

    Think we got all the opinions in the last thread, Double G; but I'd like to contribute.

    "Outside The Box"

    Put aside land for the people who live in tents, but regulate it.

    Ya can't have it look so sloppy and be a blight.

    Don't be vandalizing the nearby communities' homes.

    Keep it respectable (like a New Hampshire campground).

    You can get high in your tent or abode if you want, but,

    Please don't nod on the sidewalk or people's lawn.

    Drug and Mental Health classes and services are required to live in the "tent city."

    I dunno...........................

      The main issue is that everyone wants a solution for the problem,
      as longs as it does not inconvenience them in any way, does not look bad, and does not cost much either.

        Mental health facilities, drug rehab…..

        Not that hard. But ‘woke’ ‘progressive’ Tards want to give these people free money and a free house. Much like Borat said:

        “That’s like giving a monkey a loaded gun”…..

          NOPE!!!!!

          Drug rehab, drug-free shelters, or you get a FU##ING JOB LIKE EVERYONE ELSE!

          We need to reenact some ‘Tough-Love’ here. Get a job, or get help - no more living on the street.

            Constantly stripping away funding to combat mental illness sure as fuk hasn't helped.

            Legalize drugs, and accept that a certain percentage of the population will be lost to that lifestyle, on top of the mentally ill percentage.. You'll have to pay more taxes for social services, rehab centers etc.

            Or remove all social services, tell them all to get fuked, they start commiting more crime. You'll have to pay more taxes to prosecute and house them in prisons.

            Either way you're paying more. Or just ignore them as much as possible like we've been doing.

            I'm cool with any of the above.

              "Tough love" doesn't actually mean anything tho. It's just something people say to sound like bad asses.

              What're you actually going to do if they don't get a job or get help?.. Kick them out into the streets to live in tents?

                Stop sending Ukraine billions. Put all that money into homeless, ship them all to California and let them all live there for free.

                Simple ,problem solved.

                  Stop expecting the government to solve all of life's problems. The war on poverty started about 60 years ago and the poverty rate today is the same now as when it started. But we sure sunk a lot of money into an effort to make sure a lot more people depend on the government for everything they get.

                  The country as a whole needs to turn back to God. Churches need to get more involved. They could do a lot more than the government with a lot less money.

                  Some tips HERE.

                    We used to have asylums, but in the 1970’s some of the ‘practices’ were thought of as ‘barbaric’ and ‘archaic’ (think ‘One Flew Over The Cuckoo’s Nest) - but, instead of finding and fixing the issues, most of them were just shut down. Now, we have what we have, drug-fueled mental patients living on the streets.

                    Maybe it’s time to bring the asylums back…..

                    For people having mental health crises, there’s often no place for them to go. That’s why they end up in jail so often — more often than they end up
