    Because society as a whole has to tackle this. What do you think the red fuckers would do? They’d start shipping bussess of homeless people into blue states.

    There needs to be a federal incentive structure. Don’t want to take care of your homeless? No problem, no tax dollars for you, we’re sending it to the blue states that are doing something.

    Of course this would have to pass Congress and the red fuckers will never allow that to happen.

      What? Why? Who gives a shit if you have 2x homeless instead of 1x homeless? Are you afraid to spend too much money? By calculations in this post we’d still be in the plus. Sounds like a bs excuse. Find another one.

        Who cares? The tax payers will.

        It doesn’t compute if half the country is sending the other half their homeless.

        He’s right it takes everyone working together not half the country refusing to do anything but send people away and the other half having to find the funding.

          Lol. Let me break it down for you since you apparently missed your math and logic classes. This article says that it costs 10k to house a hobo vs 30k to criminalize one. Blue and red states are about evenly split, so on average let’s assume they have equal number of hobos. So even if all the hobos move to blue states, it will take 10k x 2 x OriginalNumberOfHobos which is still less that 30k x OriginalNumberOfHobos. So why are you denying this solution? Why are you cruel to poor homeless people? Not to mention that if it’s successfully implemented, then red states will undoubtedly join in to save money

        Spoken like a true child. You have failed to grasp the problem and you are obviously too ignorant to understand the solution. Grow up.

          You’re the child who doesn’t have to deal with homeless every day. You make your make-believe world where this decades long conversation somehow solves the problem. Meanwhile we’re overrun with then and just want peace. My family is not rich we can’t afford to move, we can’t afford private back yard. But we had to afford car because riding the Max after the second shift is too dangerous for my wife. What is your solution? Pay for everyone housing? Well then implement it. I beg you to do it. Why don’t you?
