'Baby shark, doo, doo.' Popular kids' song used to deter the homeless

Just for the sake of my own learning, how can you help them?
In my personal experience when I've tried to help them they will take free clothes, food, and money... But if they don't want to get off drugs and actually clean up their act then they won't.
How can you help the ones who won't help themselves? In this case the homeless encampment seemingly hurts business and communities.
I donate time and money to homeless shelters and things but the problem is just getting worse where I live. When these encampments pop up existing residents are less safe, and the sense of community as a whole goes down.
These are not bad people, but addiction is hell on earth it seems. I honestly want to know how I could help more than I do, but most people don't know how to fix it either
Publicly paid for rent free housing. Not group shelters. Full on housing. That's literally all it's ever taken. Season on some free mental and medical Healthcare and you've got a recovery sandwich. Even if they don't end up fixing their lives, the amount it costs the public to just give them this is cheaper than it costs to have the police harass them, build anti-homeless infrastructure, and repair damages caused by the unhoused from defecation or public property damages. The other one-two punch is fixing economic problems, which rent caps, unions, minimum wage being a living wage tied to inflation,, and changing fines to imprisonment for corporations doing crimes will fix a lot of that.
It's too bad this can't happen while corporations can buy the government with "donations" and lobbying (legalized bribery), and massively benefit from homelessness as a way to force people into exploitative work, or imprisonment for cheap legal slave labor (See 13th amendment). Only way I can think to fix that problem is to remove the source of their power, which is to pull money out of the equation. Essentially building communities that work together without money like we used to, though the government has standing orders to kill or break up people who try that (see Malcolm X, M.L.K. Jr., or places like lake Lanier).

Someone already wrote a really good answer, but using the money to help fund programs would be a start. Maybe make a safe place where they can hang out that doesn't offend you (not you specifically, just in general). If possible, I would even try and talk with them, become neighbors instead of enimies. While tackling homelessness would take a system wide change, I think sometimes just not adding to the problem and shame is the best we can do.
And I get it, I've had homeless people scream at me, see them urinate outside, not everything humans do is pleasant, and I also wouldn't want all of that right in front of my business. But, at least in this example, there is a ton of empty space, the building itself is mostly empty. Come together and make the rest of the unused property a shelter. That parking lot behind them alone was gigantic and I don't think I saw any cars there, why not let them have part of the parking lot? It just seems easier to be kind and try to work with them than set up a sound system to keep the entire neighborhood up.

Not so fun fact, ths cia used "i love you" by barney the dinosaur as a method of torture for prisoners during the war on terror and beyond!
I think that was an Abu Ghraib favourite

Fuck shit bitch piss fucking cunt shit snargletooth fucked asshole bitch cock.
Ahhh.... Feels good.
A true pity over the mainstream internet though. The timeframe in which it was beautiful... Was brief. Maybe someday it can be, again.
A revoir.I dream of a pure information protocol. Kinda like RSS, but... More.
- allow any piece of information (news article, DM, sensor reading,...) to be wrapped in a standard format
- subscribe to any number of source directly or indirectly (e.g. through a self-hosted relay server)
- allow networks to define default data sources (e.g. get sensor data from machines as soon as you are connected to corporate networks
- make the data declare what UI elements are required,
- but allow clients to display them however the fuck they want
- allow user to assign priorities statically or programmatically to any source, and to filter, sort, categorize based on it
Essentially: I want "the feed" from universes like The Expanse

Congrats, you're getting assistance in one of the wealthiest and most progressive counties in the entire U.S.
Your experience is sure as fuck not the norm
It's unfortunate it's not everywhere. It's fortunate that it exists somewhere. And it's a proving ground that others can emulate.

Thank you for your detailed response. Its very informative to get this level of information from someone who lives it. You're right that I can't fix any of that big stuff by myself.
There are no nearby gyms for things like cardio and resistant training,
Would a set of resistance bands help? Or is that more of a bother because its more items you have to manage?
Wages have stagnated across the country. My last job was my best ever paying job at $22/hr
Is there a tool or certification in needed in your field that would let you get a higher paying job?
At a minimum, are you comfortable saying what network of shelter you're in? My googling shows a couple in the LA area such as the LA Mission or Shelter partnership. If nothing else it sounds like they're providing some things helping you which I support.
Resistance bands would probably get confiscated at the shelter. First to Serve is what I'm under.

I definitely don't agree with you.
You should reread what you are arguing.

Understood.
First to Serve is what I’m under.
Thank you for sharing that. I clicked through to the website but the "Donate" page/link appears to be broken. I called and talked to Maria who will put me in contact with someone else who can take the donation. They were also very interested to hear their donate page is broken.

Oklahoma county jail used baby shark on inmates
That jail has killed at least 7 people this year by the way.
The DOJ was investigating the OKCPD, but 47 nixed that. Can’t investigate or press charges when a cop beats the shit of an elder Asian man, ofc.

No one in power wants to help the homeless, progressive or regressive. Don't pin this on 'evil' people, no meaningful social service growth has happened in ANY of our lifetimes and I'm fucking ancient by internet standards
wrote on last edited by [email protected]What progressives? Are you talking about the US? You guys don’t really have any progressives. The NDP or Green parties here in Canada would do a lot more to help the homeless than our current leading party (LPC)
no meaningful social service growth has happened in ANY of our lifetimes
We just got tax payer funded dental care for a large portion of the population. I only bring this up because I hate the generalisation that we’re all American on the internet

You are wrong. I'm done talking with someone who jumped into someone else's argument and doesn't know what they are even agreeing with.

"Are you going to help them? Use the money to help anyone, or maybe take this moment to highlight people in need?"
"The fuck? No, I'm going to make their lives worse for having the audacity to be poor and seeking shelter. How dare they ruin my view with their homelessness."
how dare homeless peeps exist?
