[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Y’all complain about the homeless crisis. Y’all complain about a housing shortage. Y’all complain about proposed solutions. Rinse and repeat. [/quote] This is actually more horrific than the problem, though. Right now, I walk past the homeless on my way to my office in the urban core of a city. You're suggesting that we should ship them off to neighborhoods. No. People aren't homeless due to housing shortage. They are homeless due to substance abuse and mental illness. This isn't a solution for that problem. It makes the problem more potent. [/quote] There are people who are homeless because, despite having jobs, they cannot afford housing where they work or close to it, so they live in their car or in a tent. Yes, this does actually happen. If there were MORE housing where the jobs where, the relative cost would come down, you know, supply and demand. And yes, there are also significant mental health and substance abuse issues. The GOP has NO solution or proposed legislation around those issues.[/quote] Well, one thing is for sure..... The GOP is not trying to force the mentally ill and drug addicted homeless into suburban neighborhoods. That is a Democratic policy. [/quote] What is the Republican solution? [/quote] It was basically saying no to immigration. [img]https://www.pewresearch.org/hispanic/wp-content/uploads/sites/5/2015/09/PH_2015-09-28_immigration-through-2065-12.png[/img] Those ships have sailed though, so right now its "make it someone else's problem." Which is also the Democrat's solution. [/quote] Immigration is not the cause of homelessness, but it sure makes a great bogeyman, right?[/quote] What would be the age distribution in the GOP version? Gotta wonder. [/quote]
