That was a sad video. How hopeless someone must feel in order to want to live like that. Is it society's responsibility to help these folks or just let them wallow in their own misery until they decide to do something better? Or should a whole bunch of Christians show up and give them a helping hand? (Only for them to fall back into their old ways). Hard decisions, but how should they be helped? Personally I think only 1% of them would ever become a viable member of society because their main goal in life is to get high. The 1%'ers want to change so they take the effort to do so. The other 99% will never have the urge to get help and stay sober, so I say let them live the way they choose. If Philly doesn't want them then put 'em on busses and sent them somewhere else, like DC.
By prioritizing the unsavable, we are ignoring the promise of our youth. We need to move away from wasting energy on lost causes and focus on protecting and educating our beautiful children.
Immediately remove the punch bowl of drugs from these places. These people have made choices and they must live with the consequences. A year from now they will all be sober and it will be on them to rebuild their lives.
Investing in programs to teach workable skills to the homeless is a better use of time and money than Ukraine or affordable housing.
We need to pull back manufacturing to the U.S., and the incredible amount of jobs that brings, and stop importing labor from outside of the country.
This brings wages up and provides more opportunities for people of lower skill levels, while negating the need (and justification) for "low income housing".
No one wants low income housing in their neighborhood. It's a stain, it's an eyesore, and residents don't get to have a say for some reason. It brings crime. It also doesn't do what it's intended to do.
TL;DR: Save people who will put the work in to learn, and this may vary at different points in someone's life. Bring back jobs and keep people from becoming homeless in the first place. Stop making bandage fixes to the issues. That's what we need to do. Core issues ignored.
You need to stop equating the Deep State with Democrats. Republicans are just as much part of the deep State as Democrats. Feckless and weak, Republicans bitch and moan about Democrat policies and hypocrisies.
The drug lords and Satanism from Central America were seeded and cultivated by the Reagan and Bush administrations.
"Helping the Homeless" is big business in the range of billions of dollars per year. It is a humanitarian cash cow with built in subscription services. The feds, states, churches, private parties all push money into "helping." It's why they will hand out free needles, biden crack kits, build faculties for the druggies to use in and buy loads of tents, tarps ect., but affordable housing and jobs that pay a living wage are somehow too difficult to supply. Jobs usually require an address and a phone just to apply, not to mention references are pretty helpful as well. Who in their right mind would even want to hire someone with a drug addiction and take the risk of theft, injury or liability if they get hurt at work? Homelessness is financially incentivized for the folks making 6 figure salaries to "combat it," therefore it won't go away until it is financially more profitable to remove these folks from the streets and sober them up for a few months.
The stoned people all seem to be striking similar weird poses. I wonder if it's a specific drug that does that.
We should provide shelters for the destitute and not allow people to live on our sidewalks. It's a public health problem that we don't need.
Who profits from the housing: his brother and son? Confining to a 15 mile radius is not the answer to poverty, poor education, government housing and urban woes. They also want to link welfare to the CBDC, for further control.

You are a sage individual. Thanks for your reply. It makes me think in a direction I haven't considered. I appreciate your effort to educate me.

This! Don’t throw your pearls to swine!

Good. Until it affects white limousine liberals nothing will change.
