[QUOTE="TANSTAAFL, post: 4014358, member: 27098"] What really is quite horrible is the homeless have been politicized. It is a major issue and cities, states and the nation is suffering the worse for it. The Right Claims the primary drivers are: 1) Mental Illness 2) Drugs 3) People that just fit in The Left claims the primary drivers are: 1) Unemployment 2) Housing and Apartment Policies 3) Unaffordability of rent 4) Debt as mentioned above. One thought, how much is illegal immigration driving this problem. So, the left choses to put the homeless in hotels and are surprised when the place gets trashed. They want to put these people in the 'burbs in nice homes The left says let them stay and the taxpaying businesses, the main drivers of a cities economy suffer. I would contend that the right is more than likely right about a majority of the causes. I am surprised that neither side has suggested housing them in abandoned properties like hotels, homes, apartments and working with them to help rehab those places. Give those homeless purpose and help to rehab blighted parts of the city. Give them a stake in their community and structure and perhaps improve blighted areas. Perhaps I am just an idealistic dreamer. [/QUOTE]
