How can we end homelessness in the society? Should it be the churches job? Why does god not help homeless people...

Kill kikes, niggers and their migrant pets, take everything they have and distribute the wealth to the people.

I will have been homeless for 5 years in 2 months. The majority of homeless are addicts. You fix housing availability by kicking out illegals, stopping foreigners and their corporations from buying our land or properties, and by limiting how many homes individuals can own.

Every time I see a homeless woman I think that could be ariana grande

90+ % of homeless people are men, especially those sleeping rough, your picture is very inaccurate. Homelessness is caused by housing being treated as a speculative investment commodity, end of.
Want to end it? Ban private-equity/corporate ownership of property, ban foreign-ownership of property and masively reduce (ban) immigration (reducing demand.) Also discourage property-hoarding by adding progressive taxes on multiple property owners in conjunction with rent-caps.
Done, 90% of the problem would be solved and homelessness would be reduced to early 90s levels.

There's a portion of sober & sane persons who choose to be homeless. It's a fact of life. Offering those types a free mansion to live in won't make any difference. There will always be homeless people. House all mentally ill and get all drug addicts treatment and you will still have a small homeless population. It's a lifestyle they choose not out of dysfunction or poor circumstances but out of preference. It's easy to see all homelessness as a "problem" needing a "solution" but they don't see it that way.
>>
Why? What's the problem with people having to endure the consequences of their own actions? Homelessness should be increased by taking away all the safety nets and hand outs so people learn what personal responsibility means.

>There's a portion of sober & sane persons who choose to be homeless.
MAYBE 5-10% of them, 95% are fallout from our housing ponzi-scheme "economy."
>>
>>543762538
It's stupid simple.
Pay them to collect trash and fill up hole's.
In exchange offer housing and food.
You are paying stupid amounts of money to have companies do the same and the city's are still a mess.

Thinking its migrants its not mummy and daddy kicking incels out.
>>543763436
When those 5% get on welfare there homed immidatly
Its litterally just migrants, junkies, and mentally ill
>>
>>543763738
>Thinking its migrants
Immigration contributes to demand, genius
About 10 million indians have flooded into this country in the last 8 years, 1/4 of our population, we were ALREADY in a housing (/education/healthcare) crisis.
You don't cram more people aboard a sinking-ship
>>
>>543762538
unironically less government regulation. right now you canโ€™t build a home without permits and following codes and zoning also limits building so that keeps this basic need very expensive
>>
>>543763738
Also those incels are downstream of this flood, sold-out/undersold by their corrupt government in favor of prioritizing these immigrants/shoring up the base of the ponzi-scheme
>>
>>543762538
Build housing and factories. Turn homeless NEETs into wagies with homes.
>>
>>543766354
Half the problem is that homebuilders (average workers) can't afford the average homes they build, hence: neets
>>
>>543762538
The reality about homelessness is that some of the people are happy being homeless in the sens that they prefer that to having a job and the responsibilities of the rest of the people.

Yes.

Have you ever talked to homeless people? In my experience, Maybe 20% of them want help, another 30% are just bat shit insane, and the other 50% would sleep on the street if you gave them a free apartment
>>
>>543767462
How many have you spoken to? How old were they, and where were they? Anyway they're a small percent of the total population, right?
>>
>>543767462
They are deep into their issues/addictions after a certain point on the fringes, people basically become feral
This problem is decades in the making by all levels of government, it would take decades of work by all levels of government to fix

Houses are inflated in price, but also at least half of it has to do with currency inflation and wages not keeping up. It has more to do with the low amount of value the average job produces now. It's all the service sector jobs. Manufacturing and resource extraction are the only jobs that let inredibly average and below average people to produce a significant amount of wealth. That is basically the entire story of the industrial revolution, taking subsistence farmers and employing them in something that produce more than $400 a year. It's not surprising that going backwards from that results in poverty and homelessness.

>Houses are inflated in price, but also at least half of it has to do with currency inflation and wages not keeping up
Two halves of the same coin, house prices/rents are inflated by the same thing depressing wages, immigration is a tool used to drive down wages/drive up costs of living

There are two general solutions for homelessness, according to the kinds of problems they have.

The first solution is, as dumb as it sounds, to just give them a place to live. Lots of homeless people are only homeless temporarily, and the ones that get stuck in it are either mentally ill or get addicted to drugs while living on the street being being high out of your mind is cheap and offers an escape from their shitty reality. But their drug addiction starts AFTER their homelessness does.
Take some city-owned apartment buildings or hotels or the like. Homeless people are moved into a room in one of these buildings, assigned a case worker, and the goal is to get them cleaned up and back on their feet. Find them a job, help them get on welfare as needed, etc. The goal is that within 6 months to a year, they are able to live on their own again and are no longer in the government provided housing. Such assistance comes with strings, you are essentially on probation and drug use or other prohibited activity can get you booted from the program. People who are not willing to put in the work to save themselves can't just stay there forever. This is a second chance program, not a place to stay.

The second program we would need is, obviously, better mental health facilities that are government funded so that they will take care of people who cannot pay for their own treatment. A lot of homeless people are just crazy, and some of that crazy can't be fixed but a lot of it can be managed with treatment they just don't have. If the difference between them being homeless and them being a functioning human being is two pills a day and a weekly check-in with a counselor, thats worth it for the city to keep the streets clean and crime down. Everybody's happier with the result.
For the people who can't be treated... asylums, I guess? Not sure what else you do with them.

I live in Washington State, where everything is being done to help the homeless at the expense of working people. Here's what we really need to do:

Build a giant camp on the outskirts of the city, with hygiene facilities, a clinic, mail, wifi, and a kitchen serving beans and rice. Reliable bus transport to the nearest transit depot and vouchers for clothing from Wal-Mart or Amazon. Essentially a giant row of storage units with a cot and a door you can padlock when you leave for work. That's all any decent person needs or wants to escape homelessness, and this sort of housing should also be available for people who want to save money and don't mind roughing it. Basic Universal Housing, essentially.

For the junkies, we offer narcotics/nicotine rations in exchange for following the rules and staying clean and not making a shitload of noise after 8pm. The "mental illness" that keeps most people homeless is just a prolonged adolescent mindset that would disappear if they were subjected to military-style discipline for a few months. If you can't do that, it's off to jail until you decide that you aren't "mentally ill" anymore.

What we do with the actually mentally ill people here is pay their relatives to take care of them, which is a perfectly fine solution for everyone.

But the core problem is that conservatives don't want to pay for it and liberals can't stomach the type of draconian enforcement that would be needed to make these systems functional.

Reopen the Kirkbridge asylums and build new ones, fund them the same as they did in the 70's. Lock away the undesirables and toss the keys.
