The right wing keeps sending millions and millions of dollars to grifters like Joel Osteen and Donald Trump, so let them open their doors and take the homeless in.

Ah, didn't take long for the usual suspect to deflect to "but Republicans!!" So typical. This is a Democratic-led city, and like most Dem-led cities is becoming a cesspool. Own it.

Perhaps the answer is to hospitalize the mentally ill like we used to and separate them from society. I can’t think we have enough money and resources to deal with all the people that need the services and many of them do not want the services even if available. The only way to mandate they get help is to commit them. Otherwise we will have thousands of people in every city homeless, mentally ill, using drugs and committing crime and endangering other people…

Between 70 and 80 percent of the chronically homeless have serious mental health issues and/or substance abuse problems. They need to be in a place where they are in supervised living conditions, receiving treatment.

That's exactly what the PP was saying.

Yeah, LL can move them out of T5 and drop them off in Lincoln Park, Andersonville, or the Gold Coast and then let’s see what happens!

I can't even imagine being required to clean those bathrooms. These women deserve hazard pay.

So unfair for the custodial staff! It’s ridiculous that this situation is allowed. Are there airports anywhere around the world that allow homeless people to live in baggage claim?

Bus access to terminal and the freedom to roam the terminal. Law enforcement’s hands are tied. Bunch ‘o winners in the mayoral primary.

Listening to Lori Lightfoot, this is a problem all over!!!

Reached for comment, the Mayor’s Office emailed The Post a response from the Chicago Department of Aviation that said homeless encampments at airports are a “common occurrence” during winter.

“The CDA is aware of the increasing population of unsheltered individuals at O’Hare International Airport. It’s a common occurrence at this airport and airports nationwide when temperatures drop in the winter months,” the statement read.

“The City of Chicago’s Department of Family and Support Services (DFSS) and their delegate agencies continue to provide 24/7 outreach to unsheltered residents at O’Hare. Outreach professionals engage with individuals experiencing homelessness at O’Hare and conduct needs assessments,” it added.

Someone is going to get murdered. It’s inevitable.The leftists can scream “Trump’s FAULT” over and over again

Oh, and the only reason this is a thread is because liberals love to travel. This touches THEIR lives.

Many, because of this, if offered housing, refuse. Society has a responsibility to provide housing. Begging, littering, harassing, and living in unsanitary conditions that allow disease to flourish should be illegal. People who cannot obey these laws should be housed someplace clean, with maids, and with some basic food. It should be someplace where they will not get hurt. People who are in these places that hurt others should be drugged. There is a limit to what we can provide to those who make all around them miserable.
