Should Biden's homeless population be allowed to live in store signs?

Contractors curious about an extension cord on the roof of a Michigan grocery store made a startling discovery: A 34-year-old woman was living inside the business sign, with enough space for a computer, printer and coffee maker, police said.

“She was homeless,” Officer Brennon Warren of the Midland Police Department said Thursday. “It's a story that makes you scratch your head, just somebody living up in a sign.”

The woman, whose name was not released, told police she had a job elsewhere but had been living inside the Family Fare sign for roughly a year, Warren said. She was found April 23.


Midland, best known as the global home of Dow Inc., is 130 miles (209 kilometers) north of Detroit.

The Family Fare store is in a retail strip with a triangle-shaped sign at the top of the building. The sign structure, probably 5 feet (1.5 meter) wide and 8 feet (2.4 meters) high, has a door and is accessible from the roof, Warren said.

“There was some flooring that was laid down. A mini desk,” he said. “Her clothing. A Keurig coffee maker. A printer and a computer — things you'd have in your home.”

The woman was able to get electricity through a power cord plugged into an outlet on the roof, Warren said.

There was no sign of a ladder. Warren said it's possible the woman made her way to the roof by climbing up elsewhere behind the store or other retail businesses.

"I honestly don't know how she was getting up there. She didn't indicate, either," he said.

She certainly cannot afford a home in the US, no one can now thanks to Bidenomics, so what is the harm?

Should she maybe pay a rent to live int he sign or just leave her be, or even better yet, throw her back onto the streets.

Where did Trump's homeless people live? Were they better off drinking bleach?

 

[initforme]

The homeless population is going to rise regardless of who wins the election. The issue has no answer.

How have past presidents addressed homelessness during their terms?

It is a State and Local issue. BUS them to CA....but then TX will bus theirs to yours and CA will send them back out. its' a mess.

Not if the drug dealers have their way.

The answer is easy ... start with expensive residential drug treatment centers ... next comes expensive residential mental health centers ... what makes shelters dirty and sleazy are the drug addicts and nut cases ... and this would almost end all the crime associated with the homeless population ...

Yeah ... expensive ... there's no such thing as affordable housing ... I blame expensive health care, too much risk allowing older buildings to be rented out at affordable rates ... one ambulance trip and the landlord is bankrupt ...

Thank you.

I agree blaming it on Biden is bs too. Perhaps you should address this to the OP?

Just an FYI, I don't live in CA. Never lived there.

poorly.

Before Reagan years, homelessness wasn't a big issue. I remember when the local church first set up a woman's/family shelter for a handful of families. Of course places like Hollywood in LA and other warm climate areas always had a larger population of people living free in the streets.

I'd hire her on the spot. She has thinking skills that go above and beyond the average job seeker.

Drugs and more.

But let's face it. Many Americans have given up. It's why I favor more immigrants. They work.

Sure there is an answer. You just dont want to hear it.

Many addicts don't want that stuff. Many have given up. Many have families and friends who have tried helping. People making poor choices. Others making poor excuses.

People confuse affordable housing with low income housing. Affordable housing, in cities and states with high median income levels have entry levels and caps, most would not believe.

Most crime associated with the homeless comes with not having an income. I knew a few homeless people who had jobs, but could not keep them because they would not reform enough. Same with housing.

The obvious answer to all this hooman rights dilemma is the mysterious single payer, which seems to be magic. Everyone wants single payer, as long as it's not them.

Your'e always a clown and a POS and your'e not all wrong on this one miracle post.

But on SECT#8 affordable housing, it is all taken up by "single mothers" you dumb OX. You don't see many Moms with 4-9 kids pushing shopping carts full of trash bags hauling belongings so SHUP on the board for a while.

Indeed. It is a given that homelessness will tend to occur in population dense areas for obvious reasons. Actually that goes for crime as well.

The argument that cities have more crime and/or homelessness because they are most often run by Dems is not an argument based on logic but instead one based on political opportunism.

That said, I am open to ideas on how to address homelessness. From either party. I don't like to see it. Let's get this shit figured out.

How should this be addressed? Anyone?

Has Biden or Trump stated how homelessness will be addressed? A specific policy?

Of course, they closed down government mental hospitals mandated from the Kennedy area and to end y the 1980's. Psyche hospitals were and are expensive.

When I traveled for a few years (nomad in a vehicle), I was at a few rest areas where a few families lived in automobiles. I've seen it all. Vouchers for families are a larger portion than for single individuals.

SECT#8 vouchers are not considered for affordable housing units. They are low income vouchers. Maybe this link would help?

I have had an answer since the early 2000s' Never waiver. Forced roundup of those salvagable and hauled off to desert tent cities under "PUBLIC HEALTH EMERGNECY ACT" supervised by State Natl Guardsmen or whatever it takes? They will be divided into Men, Women, young, old. you will clean up, sober up and when you graduate you can be relocated to where the jobs are. If you screw up there you go to 5 years prison. Not many like this, but a few are coming around as the problem grows. hey, its' a start.
