A German city has built a series of pods for homeless people to be able to sleep in.
According to a report, the units, known as 'Ulmer Nest', were installed on January 8 by officials in Ulm, about 75 miles west of Munich, to provide shelter for sleepers during the cold winter months.

The pods, which are made from wood and steel, were put in parks and other places, a spokesman for the city said.
To shield the homeless from the wind and cold, the beds have been equipped with thermal insulation. They are also big enough for use by two individuals.
There are no cameras, and when they are in use, sensors are triggered.
Those behind the project, amid some delays, announced that they had eventually been rolled out just as the weather began to take a turn for the worse.
The group wrote about it on Facebook, ‘Today the two Ulm nests were repositioned - unfortunately due to corona with delay, but just in time for the really cold nights. We hope to repeat last year's positive feedback in order to provide a supplementary measure regarding the existing frostbite protection in Ulm in the long term’.

Talking about the improvements they have inculcated, the group wrote, ‘We improved thermal internal isolation and took measures to optimize the climate (less moisture + warmer air). The nests are now equipped with solar panels, which allows (at least) energy neutral use during the day. Further energy saving measures are in the works’.
Ulmer Nests are also connected to the Ulmer LoRa-Wan-IoT-wireless network, and the long term plan is to depend on it entirely, so as not to depend on mobile networks.
‘The locking and the corresponding mechanisms have been completely revised and now offer easier operation and more interaction options for all involved’, the page wrote.
They are extremely easy to use, said Flaco Pross - who built the pods - and that people don't need to fill in any forms to register to use them.

The pods were fitted with sensors that pick up whenever they are opened or closed. The next day, if they are still there, someone from the charity goes down to check on the pod and to give the user some assistance.
The charity will also check the pods for any damage caused, restoring them as soon as possible in order to ready them for use again.
The goal is to provide places to stay during the cold nights to sleepers in need, and, hopefully, give the charity the opportunity to initiate contact with them.

They look a lot better than the makeshift tents that you seen in cities across the US. I don't see any facilities or toilets. In German cities you pay/tip to use a bathroom in public places.

Yup, and rendered useless.
That's what people just don't understand. These governments are wasting money just so they "look" like they are making a difference; they aren't.
Most homeless people have serious issues that go far beyond not having a place to sleep.
You can't just give them things and expect them to act like normal people. They need a different form of help and most of them don't want any.
There is this homeless guy where i grew up, he's been on the streets for 20 years. He is mentally ill and refuses to take medication. His family lives a few miles from where he camps and has a free room for him. He does not want it, he wants to live on the streets. Doesn't do drugs or anything, just walks around all day talking to himself, completely harmless. His camp is in the woods behind a public park, the local cops leave him alone because he's out of sight. But if you walk back there it's atrocious. I doubt he's taken a shower in years.

The homeless fellow you talk about probably is schizophrenic and suffers paranoia. It is common for people with mental illness to be completely detached from reality. As a result, many are content and even prefer homelessness. It is sad because there really isn't much anyone can do to help them get off the streets. Years ago, severely mentally ill people were basically locked up in mental hospitals, where they were forced to take medications that may or may not have treated their condition.
My schizophrenic aunt was in and out of the V.A. hospital and Camarillo, California's state mental hospital much of her adult life from middle age on. They'd put her on meds....probably anti-psychotics and she'd act more normal. She's be released from the hospital and eventually would stop taking her medication. She'd mess up in someway and be back in the hospital. It was a cycle she continued for the rest of her life. She had a small apartment in Venice Beach California which she eventually decided to move out of....onto the streets of L.A. She lived into her early 80's, which was longer than any of her siblings.
-
As mentioned, at least here in the US, they'd be turned into drug dens and fuck parlors before the week was out. Not to mention all the murders and assaults you'd wind up with when they started to battle over turf, and who owns which pod.

Yeah he is a paranoid schizo.
His sister used to post on our neighborhood watch page. Said he would come stay with her for a few days and take his meds, then just disappear eventually. She's a nice lady and has stayed in the area just to look after him and take him food every day.
Apparently his only issue is exposing himself by randomly pissing wherever he pleases.
He's on another planet. Doesn't beg for money or anything, just wonders around talking nonsense.

^ And this is why less than one week of reading Getbig threads is worth more than a Canadian university education. The stupid assholes in universities won't mention ANY of those obvious forthcoming issues with those pods.
I wish all the stupid assholes who care so much about the homeless would let the homeless live with THEM. But no...they will never do THAT.
I wonder how long before these homeless pods are filled with shit.

I hear what you’re saying. Do you know if this community has looked into building a pod for him to sleep in? Just to help him out until he can get on his feet.

He's not able to really communicate unless he takes his meds.
His sister lives nearby and has a spare room he can stay at for free.
Apparently he stops by once every few years and will stay a few days and then disappear.
Even if you gave him a pod, he probably wouldn't fully comprehend the purpose and just use it for storage or something.
A lot of homeless people are mentally unstable. I've spent time at shelters and the majority of them are on another planet.

Portland, OR has a serious homeless problem that keeps getting worse. Just this year, the city started building "tiny home pods" at last count there were 40 of them which have been placed in a large homeless camp. They are the approximate size of the average prefab garden shed. They have only been in place since last spring which might be too short a time to determine if they are successful.

I’m trolling you dude. You made excellent points and I was giving you the same lip service these governments do. They don’t want to address the real issues (or maybe they can’t) so they come up with an idea that on paper is better than nothing.
On paper the pods are a good idea. Until you experience people treating them like a restroom, having people doing drugs in them or being robbed or sexually assaulted while they are sleeping (I’m assuming the pods don’t lock).
But maybe it’s a financial issue and these communities have to spend it on something or they lose the money, so they invest in these pods.

Sometimes can't tell. ;D
A lot of these programs are funded in a way that they need to spend to funds, so that's very good point.

All of the things you mention already happen everyday with homeless folks living on the streets. Do you think these pods will make matters worse? It in reading about them, the main purpose is to help keep homeless people from getting sick or freezing to death during the winter months. Pretty much the same is true for the tiny home pods in Portland.

They will all be utterly disgusting within a month if not much sooner.

I am not disagreeing with you because, frankly, I have no experience with this in regards to homeless people. For as long as I can remember, I've heard that people appreciate what they pay for, which suggests they don't appreciate what they get for free.
Once I sold a house to neighbors by letting them assume the loan because I was anxious to move. They defaulted within a year or so. Not only that, I didn't find out until much later that when someone assumes your mortgage, even when the lender agrees to it, it does not completely relieve you of all responsibility. The lender eventually foreclosed. They offered me the opportunity to buy the house back for what was owed plus some fees. However, when I toured the house, it was trashed, so I declined. Later, when I bought another property, that default showed up in my name. Fortunately, this didn't keep me from getting a mortgage on the new place.

Any thing done to make the life style more appealing makes it grow. In a town near mine about 6 miles away they live along the power lines in tents in the woods. They spend the whole day in the giant library hanging out and many of them cause trouble. A church around the block feeds them. There's a shit hotel that social services puts many of them up in and the hotel residents let their tent friends shower there.
Talking to some of them I found many collect social security disability yet still live in tents. Two friends that lived in side by side tents collected. One got $900 and the other if my memory serves me got $1200. I asked them why they didn't share a one room apartment and live together. Their answer was they they didn't want to throw their money away. One said I almost have enough to by a decent car.
Long story short, the center of the quaint town got sick of the heroin use, prostitution and homeless. They bought the hotel and bull dozed it. The library closed for covid for months. A strange thing happened. The homeless seemed to disappear. The streets were clear again.

Yes I do think these pods have a potential for disaster. The tiny homes require registration, pods require someone opening the door. As I said in theory they are nice idea but they aren't very practical. Are homeless people only freezing at night, what are they doing during the day to stay warm? Do you think one person/group will monopolize a pod for the whole winter?
Also how many homeless people freeze to death in a year? How many have died from covid? Are either of these issues thinning out the numbers?

Lol at 6k per pod. It will be highher whos gonna replace the door when it gets kicked in and bent up lol. Roadents filth trash cleanup lol

Stand alone pods are a nice thought on paper but its not accounting for the wide variety of people that are homeless and the needs that they have.

I think pods and tiny houses are meant to be only a temporary solution. It may ease the problem for a little while, but in the long run there will always be homeless people who need permanent public housing or subsidized rent. I don't see where this is ever going to magically resolve itself....no matter how much some people would like to wish the homeless away.
When I was a kid, there were hobos around, even in small towns because they traveled the rails and trains were everywhere. I remember being warned to stay away from them because "they were bad and dangerous people."

Tom,
Go on Bitchute and listen to Hitler's speeches before bashing the man.
Hitler offered peace countless times, even when his military axis was 3x the strength of the Allies.
Everything Hitler did was justified.
Out of curiosity, do you even know how WWII started?
Put down the Jewish produced Hollywood propaganda movies, and go listen to some Hitler speeches on Bitchute.
If it makes you feel any better, I also hate your version of Hitler.
It's just that the Hitler you despise never existed. You hate a fictional character.

Exactly my point.
You know NOTHING about WWII.
WWII started as a private territorial dispute between Germany and Poland. Over 50,000 ethnic Germans had been murdered, and the murder didn't stop despite Hitler's repeated calls for peace with the Polish government.
Finally, as his FIFTH peace offer, Hitler asked that the Polish government simply send back the German women and CHILDREN. And they didn't even do that.
So what the FUCK, Primegenius, did you expect Hitler to do? Nothing? To sit around and let the indiscriminate murder of diaspora Germans, including GERMAN CHILDREN, to go on unchecked?
Poland didn't negotiate because they were backed by war guarantees from both Britain and France.
Once Germany invaded Poland, and Britain and France declared war on Germany, Germany quickly captured France.
At that point, Hitler had TRIPLE THE POWER of the Allies.
AND HE STILL OFFERED PEACE. He even allowed England to firebomb Germany for FOUR MONTHS to see if they would come to their senses.
At that point, what in the FUCK did you expect Hitler to do?
White liberals like you are no different than Jews - you know DAMN WELL you aren't capable of debating WWII based on FACTS. You know you have NOTHING backing your anti-German claims.
Eye-rolling smileys? You post EYE-ROLLING SMILEYS as your argument?
LOL!!!!
You know you can't argue worth Jack.
Why do you suppose Jewish lobby groups have made discussing The Holocaust ILLEGAL in 13 EU countries? Because they KNOW the official version of events doesn't hold up to scrutiny:
- NO evidence that Hitler or Germany intentionally set out to exterminate Jews as a specific plan of genocide.
- NO written orders from Hitler ordering any such extermination. The ONLY written documentation from Hitler regarding Jews is him asking that they be SPARED violence.
Why? Because Hitler's intention was to remove Jews from German soil - a policy of EMIGRATION, NOT EXTERMINATION. Since a nation without Jewish economic exploitation was a benefit itself, Hitler had no reason to hurt Jews. He was happy to have them removed from Germany. The Rothschilds wanted Jews in Israel - Hitler wanted them out of Germany. There was no reason to kill them, when they were going to be peacefully separated from Germans anyway.
Furthermore, let me get this straight:
Germany, which was fighting THE LARGEST SCALE WAR IN HUMAN HISTORY - A WAR WAGED ON ALL FRONTS - somehow managed to hatch a plot to round up every Jewish man, woman, and child, and kill them all.
Oh...and Primegenius:
Explain why Hitler, who had full dictatorial control over Germany since 1932-1933, allowed Jews to live freely in Germany for years to follow, if his goal was "extermination".
Or how about this:
Explain "The Madagascar Plan". If Hitler's goal was to murder all Jews...WHY would there have been a plot to send them all to Madagascar? HOW DOES THAT MAKE ANY SENSE IF HITLER'S GOAL WAS TO KILL ALL JEWS?
How come Jews were given time to leave Germany before the war started if Hitler's plot was to kill all Jews?
None of the Jewish LIES about Germans make any sense - and that's why the SPLC [a Jewish hate group] had to take down 100,000 videos, including many videos on Hitler and WWII. Because NO ONE is buying the Jewish narrative anymore. NO ONE.
Hence, Jews have simply dropped the subject.

They look a lot better than the makeshift tents that you seen in cities across the US. I don't see any facilities or toilets. In German cities you pay/tip to use a bathroom in public places.

Those look like shit. I forget what ciities they've done it in, but I saw 2 on YT that have bought land and built a bunch of "tiny homes" on them. I believe they have to pay a very small fee, and/or they have to help with the upkeep of the community land and their personal property or they are out. Girls and dudes were interviewed that lived there, and almost all started crying for their blessing while mentioning they no longer used alcohol/drugs as they had a responsibility to their neighbors in the community.

Caitlyn Jenner says tents in Beverly Hills are the latest sign of the homelessness crisis because they used to only be downtown
California GOP gubernatorial candidate Caitlyn Jenner said the presence of tents in Beverly Hills is the latest sign of the state's homelessness crisis.
"When you drive in Beverly Hills and you look at the park, and there's tents in the park, we have to look at that issue very seriously," Jenner said in an interview on the Fox LA show "The Issue Is" that aired Friday.
Jenner said homelessness is a top concern for Californians.
"But to be honest with you on a big picture, living in a tent in a park in Beverly Hills, it's just different today. Before, the homeless were all downtown. I'm sure you've been downtown. I mean, you walk down there, and it's just like so tough, so difficult on these people," Jenner said.
Last month, Gov. Gavin Newsom announced a $12 billion proposal to fund affordable housing and increase social services that would help move people off the streets. If approved, the plan would provide housing for 65,000 people and stabilize housing for thousands more.
Jenner is running to unseat Newsom in a special recall election after a GOP-led effort to challenge the governor collected enough signatures. She said it's difficult to build affordable housing in the state because of too many regulations, specifically citing the California Environmental Quality Act as an issue.
Jenner said she would relax environmental restrictions in order to streamline building permits and work with charitable groups to increase affordable housing.
Jenner, a former Olympian and reality TV star, has no prior political experience, but said her experience in business makes her qualified to be governor.
"I have been in the entrepreneurial world," she said. "People think - you've been in show business, think of you as a reality star. Certainly, I've done that, but entertainment is a business, and you have to run that business."
Last month, Jenner was accused of being out of touch after she suggested support for public transportation was unnecessary while making repeated references to her private jet during an interview with Fox News personality Sean Hannity.
"Here's my crazy thinking. We are now spending billions of dollars on this high-speed rail, OK, and they talk about it all the time, between LA and San Francisco. And I'm going, 'Why are we doing that?' I can get on a plane at LAX, and I'll be in San Francisco in 50 minutes. Why do we need high-speed rail?" Jenner said, referring to an ongoing project intended to transport travelers from Anaheim and Los Angeles to San Francisco in under three hours.

Great rebuttal!!!
Check your PM.
If anyone wants me to carry on this conversation on here, I have no problem doing that.
Primemuscle, maybe you can answer a question for me:
I know this doesn't apply to you, but why is the political left so anti-Semitic regarding Israel/Gaza, but refuses to discuss WWII beyond the official narrative?
Also, to everyone else:
Calling someone "racist" or a "Nazi" or "transphobic" or some other IST or IC is not an argument.
Feel free to call me Matzi though. ;D
I had that argument before, but it seemed to have disappeared.

Those look like shit. I forget what ciities they've done it in, but I saw 2 on YT that have bought land and built a bunch of "tiny homes" on them. I believe they have to pay a very small fee, and/or they have to help with the upkeep of the community land and their personal property or they are out. Girls and dudes were interviewed that lived there, and almost all started crying for their blessing while mentioning they no longer used alcohol/drugs as they had a responsibility to their neighbors in the community. Will that last? IDK, but it sure as hell seems like a better alternative to what is going on in Portland, LA, NY, etc. with tent cities and people shitting and pissing on public sidewalks.

Absolutely better than what is going on in Portland, which may be why the Portland leadership is planning on opening sites where they'll install restroom, shower and laundry facilities with areas to set up pods, tiny houses, tents, RV's and park autos. Why this may take two years to accomplish is beyond me. But, anything is an improvement over what's currently available for the homeless.

Thus USA homeless situation/problem actually started back in or around 1964 when the state of California closed down the state mental institutions thereby allowing a large number of mentally ill Californians to depart state hospitals and move into board and care homes.
That was immediately followed by the Lanterman-Petris-Short (LPS) Act, which virtually abolished involuntary hospitalization allowing mentaly ill (include me out) the freedom to live as they pleased and wherever they wanted as I have done throughout my lifetime.
So the mass invasion of mental patients was initiated throughout California which eventually spread throughout the states..
Motels and hotels were filled with patients who eventually became 'homeless'.
I believe that's how it all started but no one back then possibly had any idea that it would be a big problem as it is today.
But some GetBiggers just might think that it was planned to be this way years ago!
Have any of youse guys heard of how many of those 60,000 homeless individuals in Los Angeles are actually mentally ill and should be 'committed to qualified care' if there was such a thing?
I personally think that there is no real solution and that it will just continue to get 'worse-er'
-
P.S. There are roughly 10 1/2 very wise GetBiggers on this board who can think a thought wise enough to fix this homeless situation, so it would benefit all of us if them 10.5 guys started think'en.... I think.

Do you think homelessness has been impacted by the pandemic? My guess is that there is no one solution because there is no one reason people are homeless. Some folks actually prefer being homeless, which is hard for me to comprehend.

In total agreement with you stunt. They did this in New York too and suddenly there were large numbers of people turned out on the streets totally unable to fit in society.

ANTIFA barbecuing of Portlands continues , ask Andy Ngo for more details !.
So, I asked Andy, just cause I was curious, why he works for the Post Millennial, a Canadian publication instead of one that is U.S based and he had no answer. What's up with that?
Ngo is singularly focused on inflating antifa’s importance. His recently released book “Unmasked” ends with Ngo’s portraying a mid-November “Stop the Steal” rally in Washington as a “peaceful and celebratory” affair, with no mention of the Proud Boys amassed there.
Ngo should think about going home to....I don't know, Vietnam perhaps which where he immigrated from or maybe he would like to live where his employer is, in Canada. Ngo is just another far right provocateur....as if we need more of those in this country.

Hilarious for a liberal to post this light racism....but Asians are getting it from pretty much all democrats and their jogger army.
So we have borders and countries when you want to limit free speech?
I guess Asians are harder to control since they generally don't need govt handouts.

HYPER, Yes! NY was the first to follow California's "shut-down" of mental institutions resulting in a lot of shit that immediately followed involving political corruption and mass murders committed by the recently released.
I'm going to look through some family records to list a few of what I mentioned above as I had family members on both sides of the equation ... a couple of whom resided in Napa which was once the federally sanctioned "nut-house" of the USA.
Stand by to stand by if interested.

The release of people incapable of taking care of themselves does them no good. In most cases they end up wasting away homeless or being taken advantage of by others. Asylums did have a purpose but I swear everyone in government watched "One Flew Over The Cookoo's Nest" and assumed every institution was bad.

In the early 70's I drove a fellow to Dammasch State Mental Hospital as a favor to his pastor. The the poor fellow suffered from debilitating epileptic seizures and was pretty much homeless. He'd been admitted to Dammasch previously when the frequency of his seizures put him in crisis. He knew were I was taking him and he really did not want to go there but had no other choices available. The closer we got to the hospital the more upset he became. Fortunately, he didn't have a seizure while in the car because I was ill equipped to handle it having no prior experience with anything like that.
Dammacsch Hospital was shuttered in 1995. I have no idea where people with conditions like his go today when the frequency and severity of their seizures are out control. Perhaps, the nearest hospital emergency room. That's a really just short term solution. Imagine being homeless with epilepsy and having seizures on the streets. These folks are at great risk of dying from the seizure an/or from physical harm caused by others because the are defenseless. Hopefully, the medications to help control epileptic seizures is more advanced today then it was then.
The hospital was demolished and today is a housing development known as Villebois.

If you really want to fight homelessness you would champion things like higher minimum wage and more affordable housing better access to drug rehab and recovery programs and mental health care

Higher minimum wage will do nothing but make the problem worse. Are you not watching what is going on with inflation right now?
Drug rehab has an 8% "success rate." At some point people have to take responsibility for their actions. Druggies want the right to use whatever they want to kill their consciousness with no legal repercussions and then demand the public pay for their rehab when they get addicted.

I disagree vehemently with the first half of your statement but agree with the last part of it. Minimum wage doesn't have a damn thing to do with it. Most homeless do not want to work, anywhere, for a variety of reasons. There was a homeless encampment not far from my old office and I went and offered a few jobs. The resounding answer was "No, I'm OK" I even offered a guy part time work who used to stand on the median near my office and he said "nah, I'm good"
"access to drug rehab and recovery programs and mental health care" used to be done at mental health facilities but most states defunded them. So what goes around comes around.

Finland’s solution was to make sure housing was available regardless of one’s ability to seek help for issues or work. That’s the complete opposite of the American mindset of picking yourself up by the bootstraps.

Sounds nice.
Compare population data.

We don't have a homeless problem in America.
We have a drug addiction problem and mental illness problem.
Comparing us to Finland is completely irrelevant.

A German city has built a series of pods for homeless people to be able to sleep in.
According to a report, the units, known as 'Ulmer Nest', were installed on January 8 by officials in Ulm, about 75 miles west of Munich, to provide shelter for sleepers during the cold winter months.

The pods, which are made from wood and steel, were put in parks and other places, a spokesman for the city said.
To shield the homeless from the wind and cold, the beds have been equipped with thermal insulation. They are also big enough for use by two individuals.
There are no cameras, and when they are in use, sensors are triggered.
Those behind the project, amid some delays, announced that they had eventually been rolled out just as the weather began to take a turn for the worse.
The group wrote about it on Facebook, ‘Today the two Ulm nests were repositioned - unfortunately due to corona with delay, but just in time for the really cold nights. We hope to repeat last year's positive feedback in order to provide a supplementary measure regarding the existing frostbite protection in Ulm in the long term’.

Talking about the improvements they have inculcated, the group wrote, ‘We improved thermal internal isolation and took measures to optimize the climate (less moisture + warmer air). The nests are now equipped with solar panels, which allows (at least) energy neutral use during the day. Further energy saving measures are in the works’.
Ulmer Nests are also connected to the Ulmer LoRa-Wan-IoT-wireless network, and the long term plan is to depend on it entirely, so as not to depend on mobile networks.
‘The locking and the corresponding mechanisms have been completely revised and now offer easier operation and more interaction options for all involved’, the page wrote.
They are extremely easy to use, said Flaco Pross - who built the pods - and that people don't need to fill in any forms to register to use them.

The pods were fitted with sensors that pick up whenever they are opened or closed. The next day, if they are still there, someone from the charity goes down to check on the pod and to give the user some assistance.
The charity will also check the pods for any damage caused, restoring them as soon as possible in order to ready them for use again.
The goal is to provide places to stay during the cold nights to sleepers in need, and, hopefully, give the charity the opportunity to initiate contact with them.
What do you think of this idea?
Enabling a wasteful, unproductive lifestyle is not virtuous....Every Human should try to be self supporting and possibly contribute to society.
