COVID concerns spread among homeless New Yorkers

Whoever does can be left alone, we can service them in situ

There won't be that many. The idea that the homeless want to be homeless is conservative mythology that excuses why we don't adopt the simple solution of building them homes.

Which would cost a LOT more than putting it almost anywhere else.

 

A hose through the window makes great makeshift bidet.

 

Who posits that argument? I'd gladly have them housed in Section 8 Housing, provided we have a work rehabilitation program in place for them to eventually pay their own rent, etc.

 

This "hell on earth Skid Row" totals 5 blocks by 10 blocks in a city of 40 square miles and 10 million people!

I have been in areas in the South where areas are Hellholes and they have their chiggers and rats that can carry toddlers away.

Many areas in the USA have had their flophouse, collapsing hovels, slipping trailers parks,but just like Skidrows everywhere, the "nice houses" are put up in the previous dump areas or $150 per month flophouse and now those people end up in their homeless camps too.

Don't try tell us that other parts of the country are perfect Right Wing perfection. Lol

 

There are 2.3 million IN jails in the USA.

So many jails are so overcrowded that jails have there are beds that are stacked 4 high, with just enough space between the rows that even walking down to the open toilets requires it is almost impossible to not touch clothes, beds, bedframes and everything else.

"Lockdown" is often impossible in any meaningful way. Solitary is the one place a person can't touch others or objects, but they have become so full that there is little ability to do "lockdown" for disease too.

 

If it was simple it would be done.

It's not simple. They are drug addicted. They are mentally ill. For some it's a choice.

You don't end the cause of homelessness by giving people homes. Homes have to be maintained. Homes have to be cleaned. Homes have to be heated and cooled. You have to have access to food, power, transportation. All reasons why they are not in homes that already exist.

 

Take off the partisan glasses.

I didn't say anything about politics.

The homeless (all of them) have more serious diseases to worry about. Addiction, mental health, typhus, plague...etc

 

Well we are well well short of that at this time

 

Extinction rebellion is disappoint.

 

All I know is there are far less dead then when Obama and Biden were suppose to be handling the Swine Flu.

 

So providing a 'house' will address an infectious condition? A house will address mental illness? Who knew.

Do you know how many homeless people are provided with a place to stay, and won't? Yes, yes indeed, let's build houses for them, where they can walk out and abandon them. Houses require maintenance. Real estate taxes to be paid, lawns to be cut, utilities to be paid. Will you be providing that also?

There are so many holes in this idea it's astounding.

 

Replace your leaders with leaders that actually want to help. I'll never understand why people keep electing idiots like Pelosi and Waters and right on down the line to the last city leader. Too busy pointing their fingers at Trump and Republicans (i.e. post #2) to realize the shithole they've created. Or they HAVE realized it and know they can't win without having a city overrun with poor peasants that they look down on from their houses up on the hills.

 

Nothing in the OP mentioned Trump or hinted towards Trump in any way.

This is why America says people like you are infested with TDS, just so you know.

 

Duhhhh. The OP asked a question: "What's the solution?" The response was your president said there was no problem. Lighten up.

 

Everything is Trump's fault when America comes in first.

You missperred "werr" and "arr", too.

 

Have you ever built your child something, spent lots of time and money on it, then see it torn up within a few months? It would be just like that. If not, then the city would be using tax dollars to maintain the upkeep. The possibility of that ever happening is never. I'm sure with all those caring and loving ritzy folk in the area, they would house a family or two though, right?

 

Sounds terrible. I'm glad I abide by the laws.

 

So the president's response is your solution?

 

I built a nephew a genuine tree house for his tenth birthday. He improved it over the years and uses it for a man cave now.

We just might, but everybody has to, (thank you Ayn) especially since it's your policies to the mentally ill that put lots of them there

 

LMAO...Yeah, but they're not going to infect the environment with their typical diseases. You really don't get it, do you?
The 'you're on your own' attitude the cons have toward others less fortunate is likely driving the death rate even higher in the US.

 

And we're glad nobody powerful and mean who dislikes you has yet seen fit to say you haven't

 

Lol...If it has anything to do with trump, I'm guessing it's along the lines of 'bullshit'.

 

Not going to infect the environment with typhus and plague?

You have no idea what you're talking about.

 

The best part of your OP was the words "I assume we're not testing any of them.".

 

Except that coronavirus has little effect on healthy, young soldiers, marines, airmen, and sailors.

If you want to weaken a people to take territory your highest bioweapon priority would be to take out those who are able to fight and resist, so there will be fewer people to kill when you invade.

Bioweapons are kind of like nukes, there's not much to be done except to counterattack likewise with nukes and/or bioweapons, and try your best to give them much worse than they gave.
