I think the issue actually stems from crime and drug/other issues in shelters shelter should by law be dry places from illegal substances,furthermore they should be given more power by the goverment to bar certain unsavory types from shelters
@9MCJ3PYConservative11mos11MO
No not at all because at that point their just choosing to be homeless and if they want to be they can go live in the woods instead of sleeping on streets like bums because at that point its a waste of space yes they are people but if they’re choosing not to be a productive person in society then they shouldn’t be apart of society at all
@9JZV4G6Conservative1yr1Y
Stop making them feel like a burden. Create those programs but stop making them feel like it's their fault. The government has made homeless an all time high. They need to start being held accountable.
@9T64K8RConservative7mos7MO
Yes, have effective social programs to provide cheap food, clothing, and medicine. But make it so that they adapt to their new housing.
@8ZS6YBRConservative3yrs3Y
Yes, and fund more reliable programs so people will be encouraged to seek assistance rather than avoid the system entirely
@8YJRSXRConservative3yrs3Y
No, but we should try to find alternative. Typically homeless people have mental health issues or addiction issues.
It honestly depends. Most homeless people would sometimes try to wreck your property/ steal things but some of them might also not aswell. I'd say that make some sort of shelter for them to sleep in for a while.
No. Make it a criminal offense requiring community service.
If the person that owns the property says yes then its fine.
only on certain public propertys
@98MC5YVConservative2yrs2Y
Yes however they can't be interfering with space where people have to walk or get through.
@9829VV5Conservative2yrs2Y
Only if it is out of sight of the general public
@97ZF4D8Conservative2yrs2Y
No, but create more social programs to provide safe shelter, food, and long term housing.
@96D8MBBConservative3yrs3Y
i think they should be able to sleep wherever is not disturbing everyone else.
@3JYBQR33yrs3Y
Yes, within designated areas
@EthanHars3yrs3Y
No, force them to join military
@8XXPPWZ3yrs3Y
it really depends on whats going on and how they are acting
@925J4SK3yrs3Y
Yes, as long as they are not disturbing the peace or making a scene.
@92DRQZM3yrs3Y
It all depends on the situation, if they are good people really trying to make themselves better then by all means stay where you want. But if they are standing on the corner trying to get drug money then no.
@MSelvig3yrs3Y
This is a city specific issue and should be decided on that level. My personal stance is no.
@92QLFDP3yrs3Y
They should be able to live on the side of the road, but not in public places.
@8XYNZ483yrs3Y
Yes, but as long as they do not cause any issues
@4M78YV63yrs3Y
Yes and No. Should there be a place to house the homeless? Absolutely. Do I want them occupying public spaces intended for recreation (ie. parks)? No
@49VGR683yrs3Y
Yes: it's public property. They can't be forced to leave without committing a crime.
@93GLTSM3yrs3Y
yes, even though they refused it, they should be limited to where they can stay. They should not be able to stay anywhere.
@8YZCPT73yrs3Y
Yes, we can only offer, we can not force them to take help that they do not want.
@8Y6C6PL3yrs3Y
Should be decided on by county law
@92FLZ393yrs3Y
No, but they should add more and improved homeless shelters
@8Z68X5K3yrs3Y
Yes, but create a program to link homeless people to the utilities they need to find jobs and shelter.
