I can only speak to the situations I've encountered, but:
(1) There's churches nearby that offer lockers for the homeless
(2) They don't need to go anywhere, these jobs drive around looking for them
(3) See #2
(4) Illegal immigrants do this every day, and they often don't even speak the same language
(5) Seems OK.
(6) Seems OK.
(7) Seems reasonable the business operator will want to continue the arrangement if they did a good job, so this seems very likely.
(8) See #7
(9) See #1
(10) This is probably the most difficult part
(11) Shelters in my city are underutilized almost all of the year except during inclement weather. They offer showers, cot beds, and basic food.
I'm not saying that it's easy being homeless, or that making the transition into suburban homeowner is easy or even practical for them. But the problem is not a lack of available jobs (the jobs are there) or shelter (homeless shelters are underutilized). I'm fine with spending money on a compassionate solution, but only if we're solving the right problem.
- pas 5y agoIllegal immigrants have the mental resilience required to power through. They usually have a support network (family, relatives, maybe in the worst case some criminal organization that made a deal with them to exploit their labor). Homeless folks on the other hand don't have this (and that's why they homeless, and usually they burned all their bridges before they ended up on the street because the aforementioned mental health problems).
