A booming Montana city's struggle with homelessness is a warning

I doubt you spend any money on the homeless already, yet there they are.

Not in my AO.

Not in my AO.

If they aren't there then why did you post the thread saying they are there?

You have a very low opinion of the poor

I have a very low opinion of humanity.

It's easy to be "moral" with a full belly and a warm bed.

Which is not difficult for people who stay off drugs

The one we have is a run-down half-way house, not a homeless shelter per sey.....The homeless get a ride to a shelter in a city 20 miles away and they are just dropped off in front of it.....Go be homeless someplace else.

Ok that clarifies.

Nope, they'll just start committing crimes.

Then they get room and board. If they aren't shot.

Mangione bless you!

Poor people don't go away because you don't like them....

Most of them are drug abusers/addicts

Arrest them and lock them up in rehab centers

I am still surprised about Montana, given Montana's freaking cold yes?

I had some transplanted woman in my AO ask me to donate towards a shelter in town and I told her, hell no, if you build it they will come.

Spokane is a prime example of which you speak. The city council spends more time catering to homeless and their problems than they do taxpayers. The answer seems to always be--Build another shelter. I hadn't heard of the problem in Missoula, but the outside money from CA and WA have definitely put real estate out of reach for native residents. It is criminal.

California has the idea climate for the homeless population, so they should all be sent there.

Or Grants Pass, OR
