Downtown Tulsa business owners negatively impacted by area "homeless"

I moved here from the People's Republic of Kalifornistan. When they legalized marijuana, they experienced an immediate and dramatic increase in drug abusers of all types.

I used to vacation in Colorado and still have family there. When they legalized marijuana, they experienced an immediate and dramatic increase in drug abusers of all types.

Ditto Tulsa.

Blame the pot for it....come on man...as senile Joe would say....

Just like ....guns kill people.....


Start tossing those bums in jail...they'll move on back to Kali where they can **** on the sidewalk...and sleep in it too.....

Start tossing those bums in jail ? What would be the charge for that, and how long do you think you could keep them there ?

How would it be to start up an origination to purchase homeless "victims" bus tickets to warm sunny southern Kalafornia this winter when it might be appealing to them? Might be supported by some downtown businesses. Just asking for a friend.

Whenever there is a fancy wedding at the Mayo hotel, they clean up that area for one or 2 days, then it is back to the ghetto.Some of the areas in downtown OKC are pretty bad too.

It costs $69 per day to keep someone in jail in Tulsa. Could that $69 dollars be spent more effectively to resolve this problem?

Tulsa is no worse than other cities its size. My office is downtown and I walk over to that Coney Island at least once a week. It's NBD. What was amazing to me was during the lockdown I hardly saw any homeless downtown. I went in every day. It was ghost town creepy with nobody there. Some days my car was the only one on the green level in the north garage.

Is that just the variable cost, or is that variable cost plus fixed costs amortized over the number of prisoners over some period of time ?

One to the hip would solve that problem...

In the late 1970's Tulsa contracted with a company to pick up the homeless and put them to work. There was a vagrancy law and they could do this. We used to see them in their jumpsuits picking up trash on Riverside Drive. They got a place to sleep and meals but most of them just left Tulsa.

OKC has had an influx of homeless people, too. I think when it comes time to pay the piper over all this 'Rona ******** it's gonna be even worse. Landlords can't let people who haven't paid for whatever reason stay forever. That house of cards is gonna fall ...
