New King County Program Connects The Homeless To Jobs Tending Parks

This is a very good idea and a win/win situation.

People work and our parks get the help they need.

I hope it catches on.

Well, at least they can "work" where they poop and sleep. I guess you can call that a win-win in Dim world.

So the county is going to pay the local bums to clean up their own poop?

This will theoretically keep the parks a bit more sterile, and will also be a big positive for the region's dope peddlers and liquor stores as the bums seek to spend their paychecks.

The great thing about being a bum is that without shelter costs, they have more to spend on dope.

Anyone who believes these people are homeless because they can't find a job will believe anything.

We’re less interested in why the houselessness than the concept, because it first introduces a semblance of responsibility linked to civic infrastructure. Tiny home, micro-homes can’t be far off. Idaho is already doing tiny home residencies for the houseless.

They won't show up. There is a reason why they are homeless. They are not responsible.

These people have rejected responsibility, that's why they are homeless.

Who is being responsible here? Wasting taxpayer's money is not responsible, it's down right evil.

Dana7360 Awww that's nice. So I notice you never post about what a great job your President has been doing during his first 8 months. Why is that?

Illegals will take those jobs too.

Most homeless are mental cases. They dont want work or a place to live.

Los Angeles has a tiny home village. 64 Square feet and you cannot live alone. Shared toilets, showers and community meals. It is a step up from dormitory cots, but not by much.

You betcha especially if the park is bordered by a nice neighborhood with robbable houses.

Are they starting to actually charge these people? I haven't seen it.

Sweet! You can sleep on the park bench all night that democrats put you on, then when you wake up, get paid by them to clean up your own mess!

And if they don't like your work and fire you, hell! You're already in the park at home and can go right back to sleep! A little richer too.

That's a plan only a progressive could love!

Tending parks? Hell, they can't even tend the area where they live. Ever been by a homeless camp? They look like your local landfill.

There are a lot of reasons why people are homeless. Jesus was not responsable not having a place to lay his head? You need to rethink what you said. Money itself makes people to be homeless.

My law office was a storefront in a sketchy area. I had a couple of the worst smelling chase away the others. In exchange they could sleep in the dumpster shelter.

Joseph was ENTIRELY responsible. He was a craftsman, Carpenter on the road to responsibly pay taxes. Likely he had a comfortable middle class home for the time.

In the great majority of circumstances the homeless will be directed to some sort of shelter. Many homeless just aren't interested. They are victims of mental illness or drug addiction.

I'm familiar with this area. Most of us would probably agree that a park, where families can gather, and enjoy each other, with good food in a relaxing outdoor space, is a positive thing. In todays world those parks are anything but a positive thing. Of course they are all perfectly manicured , with fresh trashcans and bathrooms...but going to a park in this area is not a smart idea for a "family outing". Feces, needles and creeps are the norm. Not too long ago these "parks" were full of laughing children, flying kites and throwing frisbees. Today these parks are the very last place that you would want any child to be any where near. Yet the lawns are still meticulously manicured.

Wouldn't it be easier for the young men to stay at the YMCA as President Trump has suggested?
