Title: Homelessness in California and Elsewhere!
Post by: stuntmovie on July 01, 2021, 10:51:35 AM
I realize that this homeless situation has been discussed on this board before, but I can't find it ... so in an attempt to resurrect it once again .... here's a start.

In my humble opinion this homeless situation will never be resolved but some individuals seem to be willing to make an attempt to get these people off the streets.

But it's going to take a shit-load of money to give it a try and .... in Los Angeles there is more than a shit-load!

For instance Jeffrey Katzenberg(look him up) is reported to have a net worth of $900 million and as far as I know he is the first Hollywood millionaire to give it a  try.

And Jeff's entry into this problem just might open the doors for several more Hollywood, movie making, multi-million dollar, personalities to get off their asses and join Jeffrey in an attempt to solve this situation which I honestly believe will not be resolved during the lifetime of the youngest Get-Bigger on this board.

On rare occasions some individuals on this board seem to be 'great thinkers' .... so if you thunk a thought that no one has yet thunk about that could be helpful in getting people off the street ... let Ron know ... and we could see Ron joining up with Mr. Katzenberg (anything is possible) before the entire West Coast resembles Calcutta which I believe is in India where no IFBB Pro tends to reside...... thereby making this bodybuilding related.

I missed the part about people getting a job, or being committed to an asylum if they are mentally ill.

A good start is to stop allowing homeless people to have these encampments. I know this won't permanently fix the issue, but it's a start. In my city, people are allowed to setup tents literally anywhere. Side of a busy street, retail store, parks, etc.

I live in California and the wealthy cities don't have a homeless problem because they don't allow it.

Get an empy field and tell homeless they can setup shop there. All other encampments will be torn down.

A better idea is to start killing all of them off, put them in gas chambers and gas all of them to death

I have a close friend who was homeless in San Francisco for some time in the mid 2000's. 


She told me that being homeless having to sleep on the streets is complete bull shit.

She said there are places to get free food and clothing.  There are shelters to sleep in during the night.

She said that the only reason people are homeless is because they want to be and the reason you see them on the streets in tents, or sleeping under freeway overpasses is because they don't want to follow the rules of the shelter.

Have a free range hobo "cattle drive" and send theses worthless addicts to islime lands, africa or france.   No more free anything.  Bomb the shit out of drug cartels.  Kill all the dealers.  Deny the addicts their dope. 

But NOOOOoooOOooOOOOoooo...C ucktards want to give them free stuff at the  expense of those that work for a living.  FTN.

I have zero respect for addicts that refuse to work to free themselves from their addictions, including laziness.  I have less respect for Democraps that encourage this lazy ass way of mooching, including welfare.

You do realize every homeless person isn't a lazy drug addict right??? Some have actual jobs but simply can not afford the rent due to low wages

The vast majority are suffering from mental illness or hopelessly addicted to hard drugs in an attempt to escape the hell that they were born into.

Neither one of these is going to be easy to fix, no feasible answer comes to mind.

These people are broken. As children the development of their brain and how it becomes wired is irremediably fucked.

You can't just project your own theory of mind onto these people and wonder why they can't pull themselves up by their boot straps like you or others might be able to.

You are a mental cuck.

The majority of these "people" have fried their minds of their own volition.  Bring back the mental hosptials and clean 'em  up or turn them  out to the deserts to wander like some "lost tribe" of Pissraelites.   They took drugs and alcohol and didn't give a shit, why should anyone else give a shit, much less a fuck and even less than that, money?

The answer is make every registered democrap take in several of these assholes and feed, clothe and wipe their butts for the rest of their useless lives.

Bro it's 2021, with the scientific advances we have made in biology, most notably neuroscience, there is no reason other than ignorance not to see how little volition people actually have in their behavior. They had no say in their genetics, no say in their early childhood development and no say in the culture or place they were born into. Looking at it from a scientific point of view allows one to adopt a bit of empathy

You would like to think there is a little homunculus in your head that is consciously choosing what you do and how you act but that is far from the case

With the odd exception tramps are usually the dregs of society who have shit all over those who offer to help of put them up for a while by either doing fuck all to help their bum situation or even stealing out the homes of friends and family who have provided them accommodation for drug and alcohol money.

You are correct, the problem is quite complex.

This channel www.youtube.com/channel/UCCvcd0FYi58LwyTQP9LITpA will really give you insight in to just how bad the homeless problem is. Also, it will show you how much help it takes to help one person get out of homelessness. In CA, we have hundreds of thousands that are homeless or in and out of it.

As harsh as it is, I think you have to start by not allowing it in public areas. Building a shelter, setting up a tent, etc., should not be allowed.

Thanks for the interesting comments shown above which seems to prove that there is no real cure .... except 'death to all' which is one GetBigger's solution.

I gotta assume that youse GetBiggers are somewhat familiar with the initial start of this homeless situation when the state of California closed down what used to be call 'The Nut Houses' in the Napa region of Northern Cal which closed shop for all the mentally incapacitated individuals.

California also passed a "law" that mentally incapacitated individuals could not be placed in what I believe was called "Care Homes" without their individual consent.

And then the New York region adopted the same 'law' which spread throughout the USA .... and eventually produced the shit we find ourselves in today.

New thought .... I think I have yet to see any homeless photos/videos  of families with children living in the homeless cardboard boxes or tents thrown together on the sides of the roads nor along the Venice Beachfront walkway .... the actual name of which I have forgotten.

Are kids immune from homelessness!?

Post by: ThisisOverload on July 01, 2021, 04:54:25 PM
10 years ago or so in Houston they did a big story on the homeless. They followed them around for a few days. A lot of them were making 200-300 dollars a day begging for money.

Had cars, houses, families, etc.

Just wanted the easy way out.

Why work when you can beg for money?

Most of the people that are truly homeless are mentally ill and/or drug addicts. Apart from sticking them in a mental institution, there is little help.

The shelters have rules and they don't want to follow them.

You could give these people health care, jobs, money and housing; they would be on the streets a few weeks later.

Before I watch each of the above videos I'd like to add that a good friend of mine just told me that some of these street people are making more $$ each month due to the money they receive each month from various government agencies and social security.

A monthly income that exceeds the income which they'd receive if they went out and found a real job.

Any truth to that?

I used to give street corner beggars $1 to $5, but now a days I usually stop by White Castle which sell little burgers really cheap and I buy a bag-full a hand them out to beggars who look hungry while walking down the Strip.

One recent 'thanks' was from a guy who said, "What the hell am I supposed to do with this?!!!!" when I offered him one of those McDonald Happy Meals!

I laughed a bit but he was pissed!

I missed the part about people getting a job, or being committed to an asylum if they are mentally ill.

Just so you know, there has to be an asylum and one with a vacancy. Not that long ago, someone had the brilliant idea to close mental hospitals and mainstream the patients.  Guess we all know now how well that worked out. ::)

As far as getting a job, the job has to pay enough to make it worth it to go to work. If someone has a child, the problem is magnified. Childcare often cost more than the wages someone can make working.

Sure many people are in these desperate situations because of their own making. So what? If no remedies to change things can be found or agreed upon. The homeless will grow in numbers. Their garbage will fill our sidewalks spilling over into the streets. Like it or not....poverty will never disappear and it definitely will never disappear on it own.

I purchased my first apartment in Hawaii while I was stationed at Camp Smith for $12,000 purchased on an Agreement of Sale with monthly payments over 3 years.

Back then the only homeless people I ever saw was one individual who was sent to Oahu by a Federal judge in San Francisco who figured that the weather was decent enough to live homeless all year long.

Within a couple of months he was seen with two broken legs sitting on a bus-stop bench on Kuhio ave. I was told that a couple of locals greeted him with a warm Aloha by jumping on his legs while he was stretched out along the sidewalk and the gutter.

Another homeless black guy who  Keith talked to frequently lived in a tree-line area along the Ala Was canal with a shopping cart full of his personal trash. He was found dead one warm morning and only then did the Honolulu Advertiser disclose  that he was once a very important individual within one of the Fortune 500 enterprises.

Locals were never homeless back then because three generations of family members would form a HUI and and live together in whatever home they could afford.

BUT .... It didn't take too long for home prices to suddenly rise when foreign (Asian) and Canadian investors entered the picture and $40,000 one-bedroom apartments climbed almost over-night to $100,000 +.

But that was just the beginning of what broke the Hawaiian camel's back.

Because the military contributed to the problem by increasing the monthly off base housing allowance ($$$) .... which only encouraged home and apartment owners to increase monthly rents ... often more than double!

All of this and much more contributed to Hawaii's present homeless situation.

One last comment:

There is a major shopping complex called ALA MOANA where the Sear's department store used to be. It's a great location directly across from the Ala Moana Beach Park,

So they tore down Sear's a built a multi-million-dollar apartment complex in which every apartment has million dollar view of the ocean and dazzling sunsets.

But now those million dollar apartment owners watch those dazzling sunsets over the heads of hundreds of homeless squatters who get the same sunset view while sitting in $10 tents and cardboard boxes.

PELLIUS!! Is this still happening? And what's the situation on the North Shore?

A better idea is to start killing all of them off, put them in gas chambers and gas all of them to death

I see.....More than you possibly realize!

Why should I help clean up a mess that was created by people that I disagree with and have done my best to get, albeit unsuccessfully, voted out of power?
