“Taxpayer money has been well invested in these programs,” Tiivola said. “It’s more expensive not to provide the homes and have people on the streets. And when they’re off the streets, there’s more social harmony.”

Giving my money to the homeless is the dumbest thing I've ever heard. I don't give a fuck how much money it saves or how much better the country is. Those shitdicks need to pull up their bootstraps and fix it themselves.

Here's how you cut homelessness. Enforce vagrancy laws. Don't allow people to camp on the side walks and public parks. If you're mentally ill you should institutionalized. Enforce all laws prohibiting people for doing drugs in public. Get rid of all needle exchange programs. Get rid of all homeless feeding and give-away programs. Enforce all public urination and defecation prohibitions. Start arresting and prosecuting people again for property crimes.

Bob and I agree. If the homeless can't figure shit out. We can just spend the money on prisons and mental institutions. They are annoying to look at and bothersome. I don't care how much it costs, get them off my lawn.
