LA Considers Ambitious Proposal to Provide Housing for Every Homeless Person
- WheelsAtLarge 9y agoThis is tough, LA is trying to create homeless housing but congregating lots of homeless folks in one spot is a recipe for disaster. There's an area in downtown LA where a lot of agencies reside that specialize in helping the homeless. So, as a result, a lot of homeless people congregate there. Crime is common and it's also one of the scariest areas to visit during the day. At night, it's like zombies invaded the area. As a result, homeowners are constantly fighting any proposed homeless housing. Yes, giving a home to each will help. But the problem is bigger than that. These people will need a permanent social worker assigned to them so they can help them transition to a point where they are stable enough to keep their home.
- wpdev_63 9y agoWhy don't they just give all the homeless dummy jobs? Just give them stupid sit in place and watch something jobs and pay them. Make it sound honorable like the army does and call it a day. Cheaper than prisons and giving them housing. It's really unfortunate resort to 'communism' but it's the most humane way.
