Yeah, that's the best hope for suburbs, I think. Keep it pushed into OKC and Tulsa as best you can. Still too bad. Seems like OKC and Tulsa are hanging on by the short hairs.
Downtown Tulsa residents concerned about encounters with the homeless

As I understand, such public shelters do not allow drugs or alcohol. That answers your question.
There have been several of these monsters getting killed recently while walking on our expressways. I was driving on Turner Turnpike one night a couple of weeks ago. One of them was walking on the shoulder, wearing dark pants and a black hoodie.
Another time, also recently, one of them was walking across the BA in traffic, acting like he belonged there.
Trust me when I say this is just a taste ... It can get far worse
Will get worse. All part of the plan!
That's just a taste of what I see driving on 412 towards or away from downtown.
You ain't seen anything of what it can look like . Travel to the west coast and you'll understand why I said it has to be nipped in the bud. The state of Oregon throws billions at the homeless problem and it only gets worse
Just like at Jelly Stone Park... Don't feed the animals. .

I get into frequent conversations with people about the homeless crowd roaming about here in Tulsa.
Oh, so sad, feeling so sorry for them, giving them cash all the time..
I was in downtown Tulsa every day for seven years from 2013 to 2020.
I have had just about every encounter with these folks you can dream up to include fights,
stalking, gun play etc.
If some of the folks who want to help them so badly had to live with them day after day they would get over the homeless.

Chronic homelessness is almost always due to drug abuse and mental illness. The shelters do kick people out when they abuse the rules(open drug use and fighting). Most prefer to sleep in a tent or in an encampment unless the weather is extreme.
I know John 3:16 in Tulsa allows those willing to enter into their program which is very strict but allows the homeless a chance to become "students" in a tiered system promoting a drug-free lifestyle and helping the jobless find work while living in the shelter. Most "students" are kicked out or leave, but a few are rehabilitated and go on to live normal lives.
