These videos are a few weeks old but what got me to look them up on YouTube was a news blip I heard in my car today talking about it. They want to clear this area and put in what they call "affordable housing." I'm beginning to wonder what that is exactly anymore. But they interviewed a homeless advocate or whatever and he was saying that (super paraphrasing, but the main idea) that these people are self sufficient (not they're not, all their trash and lack of sanitation for one thing) have developed communities and know how to interact with 'housed' people to get their needs met. Like what go to houses and take water from their outside faucets and their outdoor electrical outlets for their phones? There are small "cabin" shelters being offered. Not surprisingly, too many people are not interested. The ones in my area do allow the pets, so that's no excuse.
A couple of videos about 2:30 minutes each. This is a crisis. Some of these people have mental health, drug problems, severe personality disorders, on and on. I'm not without sympathy and I don't think we do enough for housing, it's all for profit. But seriously WTF? And played out all over.
