You'd think everyone would be able to have a place they can sleep that's safe and sanitary to sleep in, but this isn't the case.

I've never slept in a homeless shelter, but I've heard plenty of horror stories about how unsafe and unclean they are. I'd rather sleep on a park bench or a sidewalk, although I'm sure just as equally unsafe. This one homeless guy told me that kicking and pissing on homeless was a common thing taking place. Another one told me he was almost beat to death with a hammer while sleeping in a bush.

Which is why people should be able to sleep in their cars if they have one.

First off, no homeless people are going to be able to pay $130 a night for hotels. They can't pay $1600 a month for an apartment. It's hard for many of them to "get a job" if they lost their IDs on the streets. And they have no free access to showers anywhere.

Behold, this was the guilt of your sister Sodom: she and her daughters had arrogance, abundant food and careless ease, but she did not help the poor and needy. Ezekiel 16:49

I used to have a more liberal position on this but now I believe we should sweep them all up off the street and place them in the camps currently occupied by illegal aliens with all of the same resources provided to them. They should have a medical detox center, trade school, job placement, etc. Provide them with clothes for job interviews and temporary support until they get on their feet. To work off their cost, they can clean up the streets that they dumped their trash all over. It should be illegal to sleep in public streets, parks or anywhere else. This has caused a major quality of life problem for both the homeless and the people who live and work in these communities that can no longer take their kids to the park because crazy drug addicts are shooting up on park benches and shitting and pissing all over the place.

I think there are two types of homeless people that most people aren't aware of. There's the drug addicts peeing on public buildings who aren't mentally stable and then there are people you meet everyday that you'd never think we're homeless. Both of these types of homeless should be helped but for the latter, sleeping in shelters with people who use needles and stuff is just not safe.

The latter also have their own cars. Often they're called boondockers. The don't want to spend $1600 plus utilities every month for a place to sleep and take a shit, when they can just sleep in their truck bed or sprinter vans for free. They also love to travel, so owning a house is not something they are interested in.

They can move somewhere affordable or deal with being homeless.

If you make the CHOICE to prioritize travel over having a solid foundation I dont have any empathy for you if you end up sleeping in your car. Especially because those people are usually the ones voting for higher taxes.

I don't mind sleeping in my car that's not the issue, it's that you should be able to park your car anywhere to sleep. Everyone should sleep in their cars it's much better than paying $60+ a day for rent.

I also have a solid foundation in the form of a life with very little bills. It's nice.

Oh absolutely not 🤣

If you don't want to live in the real world in a house or apartment go live in the woods or something away from all the benefits people in the real world work hard and SACRAFICE for. People need fucking reality checks. Delusional entitled pricks who think they deserve to live like kings.

You can't afford to! You don't work smart enough!

Reject society and don't be surprised when society rejects you right back.
