Why can't governments do anything about the homeless?

Look at pic attached. A basic apartment layout that people out there actually live in, which barely takes up any space. How hard can it be to construct a facility with many of these for them to stay in while giving them the help to get back on track?

Even the lazy ones who may just stay there, that isn't leeching that much. It's just a small space, and you can have a minimum work requirement to keep a place.

We can.

The amount spent on the wars in the Middle East in the recent past far exceeds the amount needed to build cheap and affordable housing somewhere, or across the US.

But it's basically a massive handout.

I specifically know people in Canada and Japan that purposely don't work and get free shit. In Japan, we're talking on the order of 1k/mo USD. This is plenty to survive there (as cheap apartments can be as cheap as 350/mo). You've heard of NEETs and "hikikomori". These words exists specifically because of that phenomenon. I hear people pull the same shit in the UK, too.

having a stable place to live has been shown in studies as the best way to improve rates of chronic homelessness, drug addiction, and a shittonne of other social problems.

People find it hard to improve their situation when they have nothing stable and nowhere to live. an actual place to stay, however shitty, gives them a chance to make their life better.

chronic homelessness. the situations where somebody cant rent somewhere to live because they don't have a job, and cant get a job because they don't have anywhere to live. It's hard to get an interview when you dont have a shower, or a wardrobe, or a mirror, or any stable sleeping pattern.

add a place to live in and suddenly the rest can get a lot easier. It doesn't work for everybody, but somebody who is down on their luck and wants to improve their life has a chance.

There is nothing hard about what you suggest but it would not work. Just put money aside for the moment and look at what would happen. It would turn into a war zone. They would kill each other. There is a reason that people are homeless and one of those reasons for some is that housing is not high on their priority listing. Let losers be losers so those of us who want to win can.

I'm half Japanese, and I have an apartment in Tokyo. I know what I'm talking about. Sadly, my apartment is not that cheap.

Apartments in Saitama, and other rural areas can range from $350-450 a month. Certain areas in Kyushu and Hokkaido might even be cheaper.

My ex lives in Kitakyushu and her rent is $400/mo. Complete with separate bathroom and toilet, and a separate entryway which connects to the studio portion of the place. You can do a "roomshare" and get the rent down even lower than this (drastically).

They would have to take away the stove, and problems like fighting, and drug controversy, as well as smoking. You need security. 3 men on every floor.

if your aim is to actually make things better the public housing needs to be somewhere with pretty easy access to amenities, public transport, jobs, shit like that.

Literally this.

Does OP not know what a "Housing Project" is? Or what it means to be "from the projects"?

You cram a bunch of people with no income and no drive together, the majority of them having mental illness or drug addition or both, and you basically create a hotspot for crime.

Better that homeless people be rounded up and sent to work camps. Fuck housing projects, if you can't be bothered to fit into society than why should you benefit from anything society offers?

>>695340938
Believe that all 40 million would be used.

Then you gotta do upkeep, pay people salaries for admin to see who gets the houses, pay people to find the contractors to build, maintain, etc etc etc.

IT WILL TURN INTO A FUCKING GHETTO SHITHOLE THAT EVERYONE WITH A BIT OF SENSE AND DECENCY WILL AVOID ENTIRELY. THE SCHOOLS WILL BE SHIT BECAUSE NO GOOD TEACHERS WILL TEACH THERE AND A CYCLE OF POVERTY AND SHIT WILL CREATE A CULTURE OF PATHETIC HELPLESSNESS.

If it were a problem with space, we could have fixed it already. It's a problem with society. We have created a place where no one will admit that everything is shitty. Drug addicts just keep on drugging, drunks keep drinking, crazy people just keep on being crazy without realizing that something might need to change. It's a human problem, but it seems like a distinctly American problem these days.
Without the ability to admit that you need help to stay on your feet, you're going to fall. And that's what so many stoic cowboy motherfuckers do. They man up until they're passed out in the subway toilets covered in their own urine and they realize that they can't remember how to get home and they might as well just stay there.
Also, without the ability to admit Jesus fucking Christ is not going to pull any of these people out of their misery and definitely won't stop them from withdrawal symptoms and delirium tremens, we won't be able to find what the real cause is. I've sat through a few AA meetings, and while it works for the guys in the meetings, those are the only folks it works for. It's the most heavy handed, forcing-a-round-peg-into-a-square-hole operation I've ever seen. It ducks so many people up because as far as the courts and most of America is concerned AA is the only way for fuck-ups to get clean, and that might as well be a death sentence to a lot of stubborn people.

If you admit to needing help without asking g someone, all you're doing is praying. No human being is selfless enough to go out of their way without being asked, and if it seems like they are, you don't want what they're giving away. If you think someone might fuck something up more, don't give them anything you can't afford to have fucked up.

>>695337317
Homelessness is a complex problem. The governments of the world use the risk of homelessness to encourage people to work. If there was genuinely a safety net to your life that meant even if everything went tits up you were guaranteed a roof and three meals a day then many people would just choose to fall in to it and live off the government.

I live in a very underprivileged part of my country. Almost everyone here is on benefits, claiming for all they can and churning out kids to get more tax credits. I don't my father taught be the value of a job well done and hard work being its own reward. As such I have nice thing and a nice house, stable family and savings. People have been raised in generations without any of those things and so being poor and taking benefits has become their normal standard of living.

Socialism going too far results in far more problems than homelessness, the evidence is everywhere. Of course the upper classes who have never directly experienced this poorness, let alone lived it, think otherwise... because how could they possibly be wrong? They're upper class and wealthy, they know the world well enough to make a profit it in, surely they know best.

I genuinely believe that the people who need help should be given it, I really mean that, but the system is so open to abuse that having a system TOO safe will mean not enough people will bother to work to support it via taxation.

I really do pity the homeless. I hope some day I can do something good for them.

You're thinking of beggars. Not legitimate homeless people. Odds are that you're one of the folk with the mentality that all homeless people are beggars and are potheads and retards.

We're talking families who live behind the 99¢ store or in a van down by the river kind of shit. The real, actually 99% of actual homelessness kind of people.

I'm a poorfag who's also mentally ill. . If I lived in the USA I'd be a homeless man on the streets, a rambling madman, and probably dead long ago.

But there's a big difference between the USA and the place where I live, here I not only have (mandatory universal) health insurance, which covers my expensive meds and psychiatrist visits (about 1500$/month) but also a so called IV-Rente, an also mandatory but private insurance every working man pays into, which equals 1000$/month. Plus social security which pays for the mandatory health insurance, my flat, food and clothes (2000$/month).

So I get about 1500$/month to live off, 1000$ goes to the rent of my flat, 500$ for the health insurance, which pays about 1500$/month for my healthcare.. I don't have a job but earn more than lots of americans with one, and we're still one of the richest nations on earth..

I don't know much about politics and shit, but I say look at switzerland, we can't be that wrong with our system, and we really have a very low homeless population.

You know what happens when the Government does do something about the homeless?

Seriously, go to a public housing district in an inner city, or indian reservation sometime. The tower apartments, double wide trailers, and houses provided are literally free to low/no income families covered as a part of housing welfare programs. Every single public housing district is crime ridden, the buildings are falling apart, and absolute shit.

Because being given access to this housing for free provides no sense of value or care to maintain it. I live near a reservation and their housing projects are falling apart and every other month the people living there will just burn one down for the government to come in and build a new one.

It may not be leeching that much initially, but there is no maintenance performed by the goddamn families living in it. And if a family can't take care of their own free given property, why should the government once again further take care of it for them spending even more money and contributing to a society of decay?

I live in the Middle Class with a family in an average home in a not so bad part of town in a not so bad city. And all I do is get phone calls and emails from people who need an oil change or broke down on the side of the road charging ~$50 (changes based on whether or not I need to buy a part or if the job takes a while) each.

I work in a support organisation that, among other things, gets to deal with a fair few homeless.

Regardless of begging, they tend to congregate around fairly built up areas - it's where you're likely to easily find things like public parks, shelter, water fountains, moderate security, and access to public transport. You do not get many homeless in the suburbs who stay in the suburbs.

Admittedly I'm not counting the homeless who live in their car, they stick to quieter suburbs a lot more. I can also only speak for the city I live in. it may be different elsewhere.

I do like the idea of work camps. Take homeless people voluntarily and send them off to camps with shitty dwellings that just have AC, running water, and some bunk beds in military style barracks structures and set them to work doing medial tasks. No extra holocaust BS, make it so they have to make food and serve it, do shitty construction work, maybe some factory work.
When you think about it, the decline of the factory and tenant has probably contributed to the majority of legitimate homelessness situations. Politics decided that small spaces and repeated tasks are evil, so now the homeless don't have jobs that they can do (because I can assure you from experience that pot heads and autists can screw a bolt to 45° 4,000 times a day) and homes that they can afford.

why?

I agree it sounds fair at first glance, but if you actually think about it: is that the case?

So you want to build more PJs? Do not build apartment complexes for this purpose, that's stupid. They very rapidly become crime dens.

I'd just use similar floor plans in small neighborhoods. Each one is a tiny home with a very small, but still there, yard. Residents are required to be looking for work and maintain a specific standard of living. In other words they are required to maintain the property and keep it clean. Strong police presence in these neighborhoods too. Random inspections and piss tests to ensure residents are complying with the program of course. Residents must essentially opt-in and sign a contract before they can live there. Success allows them to eventually buy the home they're in, failure results in ejection and possibly prison depending on why they're being ejected.

Increase funds for this program by building non-program neighborhoods and selling tiny homes like that to low income individuals who would normally be stuck renting for life or otherwise not having their own home, but are otherwise functional human beings. Much as I hate to say it I'd buy one in a heartbeat. Offer multiple purchase methods including rent to own and standard financing types. Offer the standard floor plan and some larger yet still small and affordable floor plans for this.

Sell them for an acceptable final profit and you're good. Hell, you can even hire residents in those program neighborhoods I described to construct the things creating employment opportunities. These structures would be fairly cheap at the size in OP's pic. Honestly you don't even have to include a full range and oven or a large fridge. Counter top convection oven and a good quality hot plate setup and a smaller fridge freezer will cut costs and return some workable counter space.

You misunderstand my point. I hate people that are to lazy to work or their own good but instead take welfare from the state. But if you have, for example, an event happening in your life that breaks you to a point where you just can't live a normal life and become homeless, there is nothing wrong with trying to integrate such people back into society. The investment in such people will be good for everyone in the long run because a homeless person only creates costs where a functional member of society creates also tax money. But if you Lack the ambition to get your ass out of your misery, even with help from the state, you can fuck off.

>>695348853
Or you just work hard. Hard work always pays off, it is just the people who lack the will or need serious help to make the first step. What about war veterans who turn into homeless people because they've lost it. Such people fought in wars your nation participated and therefore these guys deserve help, or atleast to be threated as what they are most of the time: broken souls.

Who's going to build the new special housing? The government will contract it out, and the price to build it will be insanely high.

I live in Portland Oregon and they are closing an old sheriffs office and trying to make it into a homeless shelter.

The location is far from any homeless services, the neighborhood is trying to deny the vote for it to become a shelter.
