No camping on public property...then what, arrest them and jail them?

That’s always been illegal just like blocking highways people did it because they were allowed to do it and existing laws were just ignored. Like everything woke it failed in the long run it just encourages more bad,sad unproductive behaviors.

Liberal policies have fueled this fire! Voting matters.

If we find a way to reopen asylums many problems in our overall society will be helped out.. I would rather fund an asylum than give every emergency responder and hospital loads of Narcan. Tax money in the vast majority of places that have this problem already go to functions that do nothing to stop the problem, they only deal with it in the short term.

Some sates are outlawing sleeping in parking lot???
I travel and run hard.
Now a government is telling me if I rest, I could be arrested for napping on property.
Rest areas?? Truck stops?? the pull out on the side of the road??? The road that goes to silverado???
Government overreach

You'll likely be arrested if you throw out a tent and refuse to leave when asked. I don't think prosecutors are going to be looking to charge people who pull over to catch a quick nap

I’ll be in Oklahoma in October. Watch me get arrested for taking the grandkids fishing under a bridge.

People still don't get that even though the results are thrown right in our faces. It doesn't affect them so they don't care. Short sighted and don't see the big picture.

I don't think it's as simple as liberal vs conservative. When I drove by the shanty town yesterday after work, a Baptist church group was handing out food and water. Probably "conservatives" but not solving a darn thing--arguably making it worse. Same for the likely "liberal" homeless charity a block away that enables with assistance.

At a basic level, I do agree that it likely can be traced back to the family unit. But screwed up families are not exclusive to one side of the political spectrum.

One party creates a problem, using tax dollars. The other side says they can fix it, with more tax dollars.
The problem just gets moved somewhere else, and with more tax dollars it can be fixed there also
The 2 party system is broken and I don't see a solution short of a TOTAL purge

Buy a room or a campsite you cheap skate.
And dont leave shite bags in the garbage cans.

Absolutely making it worse

Maybe it's time to reincarnate Murad "Jack" Kevorkian. 

I'd bet there will be a certain number of people who might just take up the offer of assisted suicide so they could end their suffering earlier than the rate at which they are killing themselves now.

You might be surprised. I read a documentary several years ago where they interviewed homeless people and most of the ones they interviewed WANTED to be homeless. They talked about the freedom of having no bills. There were more than a few that had jobs, some of them GOOD jobs, but chose to remain homeless so as to not have to pay rent.

Angela, without question, you are correct. I've also seen videos of people who knew or felt they had no chance of breaking their self-induced drug addiction and were going to die from it. Those are the ones I was thinking of. 

The zombies I am talking about are not employed. Not a chance.

It's beyond that. Much of the so called conservative right including the church are eat up with so called liberal attitudes and actions and the liberal left wouldn't know classical liberalism if it was explained to them.

What we have is an ancient plague of selfish destruction of the established norm for personal pleasure and gain. It has gone by many names throughout time from the imposed suicide of Socrates to the hedonism of the late Roman Republic, the Storming of the Bastille to the Terror, the revolutions of Russia and Bolshevism followed by Mao, Kim, Minh and Pol Pot. Today it goes by the name progressivism camouflaged with the title liberal and democracy.

May I suggest a recently released book?

Here's a thought, how do we help these folks (at least some). Stop the importation of Cocaine, Methamphetamine, Heroin, and Fentanyl. Shut off and squeeze down the tons of it coming into the country. But we can't do that, Progressives won't allow the wall to be built and begin some controls. I think it's because they would see the price of the Psychotropic drugs they like so much go out of sight? China and the Latin Cartels are laughing their heads off and taking boatloads of U.S. cash home. Probably a lot of it is some type of "PUBLIC ASSISTANCE" monies.

Not accurate at all, Look up "Deinstitutionalization" voters wanted more community based care options. This began in the 1960's during "The Great Society" movement. The Federal government withdrew financial support for state hospitals in an effort to save money, Congress passed the Medicaid IMD Exclusion, which prevented Medicaid dollars from being used for mental hospital care. The Federal Government believed the new "antipsychotic" drugs would allow people to be released into the community safely. GUESS WHICH PARTY RAN THE CONGRESS, SENATE, AND EXECUTIVE BRANCHES IN 1965? Just look up the IMD Exclusion of 1965.

Very true. We are dealing with the swamp.

It could be fixed if someone really wanted to fix it. Take for example El Salvador , they had a HUGE gang problem. They got the right leader in place and he cleaned up the problem FAST. Jailed piles of gang members quick. El Salvador is much , much better now.

But we have a quagmire in DC , the swamp. Don't fix the problem , just make it cost more tax dollars.
