I'm all for airdropping boxes of fentanyl into homeless camps. Darwin.

There is a VERY few who really do need help. Those who do have help at every corner. They also have JOBS at every corner. The "best" do not sit around and do drugs. The VAST majority of the scum calling themselves "homeless" are so by choice because they want to get high all day.I happily donated a tent and some canned goods to a father and his kid that had lost their home and couldn't afford to rent or stay in a hotel. Not all homeless are drug addled lost causes, but even the best can and do succumb to hopelessness.
The leading cause of homelessness is a lack of affordable housing. There are hundreds of thousands of homeless, so the ~15% in the situation due to drugs is still a large number. Sure, a new shirt and pants from Goodwill might land a gas station job but that doesn't even get a person on the first rung of the American Dream's ladder when rent is more than they'd make in a month.There is a VERY few who really do need help.

There is no way in hell only 15% of the scum I see lining the street are dopers. EVERY place that becomes a "homeless" camp is strewn with trash and needles. Put these people in a place to live and they promptly trash it to the point its soon no longer habitable. EVERY person who wants help has it at their fingers. We have good paying jobs going begging right now because so few want to work to learn them. Making excuses is why "homeless" has become a HUGE money laundering operation. Look at what is spent per person and we could put every one of them in a damn nice hotel for that they spend. All this does is teach more of them they need do nothing but complain and get high. The leading cause of the scum in camps is they CHOOSE to live that way no what the propaganda tells you.The leading cause of homelessness is a lack of affordable housing.

Curious where you pull that 15% number from.The leading cause of homelessness is a lack of affordable housing.

It's easier to look at them as a mass of greedy and lazy drug addicts, but the truth is worse. It could very easily be any one of us in their situation and we know how little sympathy we'd receive. The majority of Americans are one paycheck away from being on the street.
I don't buy 15% either. I USED to think it was that kind of minority. Not with what I've witnessed in my own hood this last two years though. And every day someone is on the streets brings them one day closer to going feral.There is no way in hell only 15% of the scum I see lining the street are dopers.
Homelessness in Seattle: What % of Unhoused are on Drugs? Homeless advocate gives number.The leading cause of homelessness is a lack of affordable housing.

Somewhere that's dark and stinks.Curious where you pull that 15% number from.
You know exactly where that comes from. People who are making HUGE money off this "problem" crank out fake stats like that all the time. People who are looking to make excuses for the scum will latch onto stat's like that and throw them around even though they of course know they are not true. Anyone who want to see the truth need only walk down the street where "homeless" camp and look at them. Then try to tell themselves that for every 100 people living like that 85 of them are looking for a job and are not high all day? Right.Curious where you pull that 15% number from.
That stat doesn't indicate percentage of homeless actively pursuing work or percent that became involved with drugs after becoming homeless. It's merely a rough indicator of how many became homeless due to drug use. That figure varies based on geographic location, I know SAMHSA says 26%.You know exactly where that comes from.

Sadly there are two kinds of people who swallow the propaganda about this. Those who are making HUGE money off it by skimming huge cash, and the "useful idiots" who will gladly go along with anything that is some form of socialism. The voters in Potland and Seattle are finding out the real hard way what voting for this has brought them. Sadly a LOT of them keep asking for more.I don't buy 15% either.

Anyone that buys anything the city tells them would buy ocean front property in Arizona.

Its both super angering and sad at the same time. The people making huge bank of this do it by duping a LOT of people who really do want to help. Make a HUGE mess. Then run for re election on the promise to clean up the mess you made. Solution of course tons of cash. So people who watch the place become a sewer then vote for the people who are going to "fix it". Those who are "fixing it" do one thing VERY well. They make HUGE piles of cash vanish.Glad i cant see who you are responding to.
From what i have seen, it is nowhere near 15%. It is likely 75% or more as quoted in another post.
The feral industry has become profitable, very profitable. Everyone from city hall to the poverty pimps are making a quick buck. If you try and chase down how and where the money goes it will lead you into a giant black hole. There is absolutely zero solid accounting where the hundreds of millions are funneled to, how they are used, and what the success rate for each dollar spent or ROI.
Any smart con man got into this grift 4-5 years ago and now is a millionaire.
These political ads....The same party, claiming they'll fix the same issues, that their predecessors claimed they'd fix, two, four, six and eight years ago. I wonder how many of the homeless vote?Its both super angering and sad at the same time. The people making huge bank of this do it by duping a LOT of people who really do want to help.

Anyone who looks can of course see NONE of the "champions" of this offer to let them live with them. Or even camp on their lawn. Wife was pointing out the other day a homeless guy pulling a train of shopping carts he had lashed together. Piled with "stuff". She mentioned one local group had people saying the stores complaining about the theft of carts should just "give them away". I said the people saying that should step up and PAY for those carts they want "given away". Instead we all pay for it with the price passed on to us.All I know is there used to be a handful of homeless in Salem and now there are thousands. Sections of downtown Salem now smell like the Lower East Side of Manhattan.
Slow clap for all the "compassionate" f morons in the community that allowed this to happen. They should allow the homeless to camp on their own property, see how they like it.
