Off topic, but I recall a YouTube video I watched a while back from maybe around a decade ago. There was some man out in LA who had experienced homelessness in his youth and wanted to help people in that situation. To do this, he crowed funded a project where he would build small shelters for people that had locks, and a solar panel feeding into an outlet. A lot of the people indicated that this was a major upgrade to their lives on the streets. Of course the city, and more importantly, the homeowners were livid. There were complaints about having these shelters out and visible for worry of property values. Additionally there was complaints of these being on the sidewalk and that creating safety issues. The city ordered them to be seized and destroyed. The coordinators offered to have them moved , but they were met with not cooperation, and one of the men’s who had lost his shelter reported a cop sneering about how he should “get a job”. There was a city official going on about how this project wasn’t helping anyone and continued to allude to his vague plan to “end homelessness”. Wonder how that worked out for them. Additionally there are a few channels that interview various people on the street and I recall one quote where a man said something along the lines of “I wish my family wouldn’t look down on me for being homeless”. In another, a man claimed he tried to reinitiate contact with his family, who had him arrested. Both of the men seemed sober, mentally stable, etc. in fact, the latter man ended up getting his life together in a stroke of luck. I have to wonder if these more to these stories, but disowning someone simply due to their economic status alone is absolutely insane to me.
