It could very well be mental health or addiction issues that’s been driven by the society that’s been created.

40% of those homeless have good jobs. They cannot afford the high rent deposits! They do not make the new requirement of having to earn 2× to 3× the rent to move in.

Homelessness is a lucrative business for many. Not the homeless but all the rest connected to them. Let us look at one number. Congress appropriated $3.633 billion to address the homeless situation in America. America has over 700,000 homeless? Where did the money go?

Go meditate. You need to wake up. Enlightenment now. We need insane asylums for these maniacs.

I would LOVE to see you champion a call to build 10 million new affordable homes, use eminent domain on the bank-owned foreclosed homes (ill-gotten gains), and house ALL Americans! I WOULD LOVE LOVE LOVE THAT!
