[QUOTE="bigfug, post: 4014363, member: 4864"] I can't link the article because it's the Norman Transcript and you have to join, but Norman has a 0% adjusted displaced housing population. After triaging, they only counted those who didn't have, or need assistance as displaced. After making contact with all displaced persons, they found 3, yes THREE, that wanted or needed assistance. I know the guys who work OKC's Homeless Outreach Team, most decide either through addiction or mental illness, that they would prefer to be where they are. They don't want to go to a shelter because of the no drug policies, and they can make between 300-500 a day panhandling. One reason the population here has exploded is when COVID shutdown larger metro's, think NYC, LA, etc., they relocated here. Remember the pics of Times Square looking like a ghost town? Hard to panhandle when your city looks like the Zombie Apocalypse happened. So, they all relocated somewhere that didn't go on lock down, with decent weather and decent people, the central Midwest. The quote below is from a homeless person in Portland that gives you an idea of the mindset of some of the people on the streets. One woman who identified herself only as "Paula" agreed to chat with the outlet, telling KOIN that she has lived on her spot along the shore "off and on about a year and a half." "I have anxiety issues, and I think I have personality disorders, too, that I’m dealing with. I think that’s what’s kept me out here so long," Paula said, admitting that she has become [URL='https://www.foxnews.com/category/topic/opioid-crisis']addicted to meth[/URL] since suffering a bad breakup. "There’s a few shelters I like. They would have been great except for the [URL='https://www.foxnews.com/category/us/crime/drugs']no-drugs thing[/URL]. That sucks. I don’t think drugs are my problem," she said. "I think my problem is I have no place to wash my hair and go to the bathroom." [/QUOTE]
