Build a building with 1000 small-sized flats, built to endure and last, with personal showers and bathrooms. This is made for homeless.

Have security people work there to follow people to and from the entrance to their rooms. And healthcare people working to look after them. A food service providing a minimum of quality food.

But every person that goes in and out, must go through a cleansing process where they throw all their clothes into a washing machine and shower properly, and use disinfectant of sorts. This is to prevent spreading of diseases and parasitic pests.

Those who wish can live there permanently. But not a necessity. Every big city should have something like this.

This would be the easiest way to make an ultimate solution.

Also implement civil wages.


In our cities, we have something similar. It's housing that is meant for those who suffer from addictions or are trying to recover from it. The rents are below market value, and I believe a lot of residents can also get rent subsidies from the government. And there are staff on site 24/7 providing care and supervision, depending on the building. A lot of them also provide other services like counselling, or help with finding work. Some provide basic life-skill lessons like how to manage one's finances. So there is a lot of support. I have never lived in one of them but someone told me that it was very rough living in one of these buildings.

I like the idea of kicking out illegals but I don't think giving jobs to the homeless would work.

A lot of these people have issues of some sort. Either addiction or mental illness of some kind. Others are simply shitty human beings. Also a lot of them are criminals.


So are the illegals.

Homelessness is a systemic issue, here in the United States we don't address the underlying forces behind homelessness, and we don't provide enough resources to meet the total need of homeless at any given time.

That sounds good. I wouldn't know why it would be rough living there .. lack of security perhaps..

Now that is something i wanted to adress too .. if we learned more about economics and finance, and psychology, in school, i think it would be less of an issue. If the government treated people (i.e. poor and middle-class) like people, and not like slaves, everything would be different and better.

People who live there make those places the h*ll-holes that they are.

Some people don't believe me when I try to tell them that some of the homeless people are homeless for a very good reason.

Should fix the homeless and veteran crisis at home first, but instead we help everyone else. There’s no reason for anyone to be homeless in this country if money was directed to the people of this country first.

Hmm.. i guess it's sad that they don't really want to try to better themselves.. i guess it's a mental issue then. Those places should really be for people at least halfway committed to live clean for a short period of time, needing rest, or seeking refuge from the harsh life outside. I would not allow it to become spoiled for those that tried to live cleanly. There must be a motivation down the line. And providing clean support facilities is the motivation.

I guess it's a very difficult issue. I think that it goes back to the point about not learning about life's realities in school. Also i think bullying and harassment is a much bigger issue than the government wants to or bothers to realize.
