As opposed to what?

2019-10-07 16:32:24 UTC  

Especially California

2019-10-07 16:32:40 UTC  

Lot of homeless there have mental issues

2019-10-07 16:32:42 UTC  

Ok, so let’s say they provided none of those services

2019-10-07 16:32:50 UTC  

What would happen to those people?

2019-10-07 16:32:59 UTC  

Not saying they shouldn't provide nothing

2019-10-07 16:33:09 UTC  

They're providing the wrong things

2019-10-07 16:33:17 UTC  

They need homes

2019-10-07 16:33:24 UTC  

And mental help

2019-10-07 16:33:38 UTC  

Like an adult toddler

2019-10-07 16:33:44 UTC  

So your complaint about democrats

2019-10-07 16:33:45 UTC  

Some of them just can't function

2019-10-07 16:34:03 UTC  

Is that they provide the wrong type of social services to the homeless

2019-10-07 16:34:07 UTC  

Yea

2019-10-07 16:34:20 UTC  

While republicans just let them die in the streets

2019-10-07 16:34:33 UTC  

And that’s why you support republicans?

2019-10-07 16:34:36 UTC  

Well like I said, the south east has very little homeless

2019-10-07 16:34:52 UTC  

So, Florida has a lot of homeless

2019-10-07 16:35:03 UTC  

And when I was on the streets it was easy to find work and food etc

2019-10-07 16:35:16 UTC  

More so than the west

2019-10-07 16:35:30 UTC  

Florida does in big cities sure

2019-10-07 16:35:32 UTC  

But yeah, the republican states treat homeless much worse

2019-10-07 16:35:40 UTC  

And many leave when they can

2019-10-07 16:35:51 UTC  

Also property values are lower because their economies are worse

2019-10-07 16:36:37 UTC  

So when you hear democratic candidates for prez talking about their plans to deal with homelessness

2019-10-07 16:36:45 UTC  

How do you feel about that?

2019-10-07 16:37:04 UTC  

Id have to see there plans

2019-10-07 16:38:01 UTC  

Ok, if I sent you plans would you read them?

2019-10-07 16:38:12 UTC  

I'm just going off my experience and what I've seen, and yes I would

2019-10-07 16:38:43 UTC  

I'll read them

2019-10-07 16:39:43 UTC  

Take a look at that, I’d be interested in what you think

2019-10-07 16:41:34 UTC  

I mean, building more homes to curb homelessness not a bad idea

2019-10-07 16:41:58 UTC  

At least its not rent control

2019-10-07 16:49:08 UTC  

I think that Warren's solution to homelessness would be as ineffective as the current administrations response to housing. What's discussed in this Medium article is well-and-good if you're under threat of homelessness as a result of gentrification, but it doesn't actually address transitioning people out of homelessness. @Platinum Spark

Like if you're homeless without income, an increase in investment in low-to-middle income housing will literally do nothing for you.

2019-10-07 16:50:42 UTC  

@fuck12moredeadcops the vast majority of homeless are temporary

2019-10-07 16:50:52 UTC  

Like, just a little gap of under 2 months

2019-10-07 16:51:00 UTC  

So it would absolutely do something for you.

2019-10-07 16:52:01 UTC  

What're you basing that on?

2019-10-07 16:52:59 UTC  

I can't find any studies backing that claim, and I organize in my city. Most of the people on the street have been there 1-2 years, or they're periodically in and out of temporary housing situations
