Homelessness Is Getting Worse, Not Better And Here Is The Proof!

Homeless encampment after homeless encampment is popping up everywhere. In this city alone, even the city officials cannot keep up with the numbers. Another homeless encampment that was slated for removal has not been removed since the city was told to leave the encampment be, for now. Whoever stopped the city in its tracks to remove a homeless encampment is extremely powerful since there has been massive news coverage about this particular encampment since it is right up against some condos and the condo owners have publicly complained to the local news stations.

This particular homeless encampment has had several shootings and several deaths. But what does one expect when people are left to hang out to dry? Drug dealers are preying on these people and are feeding their addictions and since drug dealers are very much in evidence at homeless encampments, what do city officials think is going to happen? Shootings, drug dealing and drug use and add into the equation, mental illness, and it is a recipe for disaster. Those people need homes, and they need services, but what they are getting is removal after removal after removal; an endless, vicious cycle that helps no one; not the homeless, not those who live in areas where encampments pop up.

This is America!

This is America!

This is America! How’s she looking? Homeless!!!!!

This is America! A mere few decades ago, was this the status quo? If it was, I didn’t see it, but I’m sure as hell seeing it now!!!

There is every single group represented here, every color of the spectrum. 

Old people, young people, a whole host of different ages are homeless!

 

This is America!

Seen enough yet? The homeless have too, but they’re still homeless and so we shall continue.

This is America!

Those people spent an entire winter on the streets. The weather has changed, a new season has arrived, and still no one has been able to house them yet despite multiple city officials claiming that when they have disbanded or removed homeless encampments, outreach teams are finding shelter for these people. That is a bald-faced lie!! There are not enough shelter beds to even begin to address the need. And when I was in a shelter when I was homeless due to no fault of my own since I had paid the rent for five years, in full, and early and still got put out, I ended up in a homeless shelter, in a room with a convicted criminal who was about to head to court on charges of strangling a woman in a homeless shelter. And folks wonder why the homeless prefer to take their chances on the streets? I got bedbug bit the fuck up in yet another homeless shelter and I had never had bedbugs in my life. I had to go to the emergency room to get help with the red welts that broke out all over me. For the love of!!!!!

The above pictures are from one homeless encampment. The next pictures are of a homeless encampment that is right around the corner from the one in the above pictures. Is this giving you a clue as to the fact that homelessness is getting worse, not better in America?

Now, remember, these next pictures are of a different homeless encampment.

Last winter, the homeless were camped here and they were moved along, and now, they are back. This encampment is right around the corner from the other encampment depicted on this blog. In this same area, three fences were erected to keep the homeless from propping up tents, and still, the encampments continue to go up. Where are these people supposed to go? Where are they supposed to live? Why are there not more solutions to the problem of mass homelessness other than disbanding homeless encampments while everyone is well aware that since those people have not been housed, another encampment is going to pop up, again and again and again, which is exactly what is happening.

This is America!

This is skyrocketing in the supposedly richest country on the planet. It should be embarrassing if it weren’t so damn horrendous, and encouraged by those in power who simply turn a blind eye because they don’t give a damn!

This is America!

This is America! Can you believe it? This richest country in the world? Seriously??!!!

The tents, as you can see, go on into the distance, and when you turn the corner at the end of this street, they begin again. This city is literally littered with homeless encampments. No matter in which direction you look, or which direction, you walk, you will see a homeless encampment, you will walk or drive by a homeless encampment. And the situation gets worse by the second. I am out on the streets, daily and even I am overwhelmed at the sheer magnitude of homeless encampments, not to mention the homeless people that I meet who are not located in a homeless encampment, but who are sitting on a bus stop bench, sitting in front of a store, just out on the streets with their belongings roped around poles while they search for a restroom.

The other day, a man was so drunk or high, that his pants were down around his ankles, and he was at a bus stop and the entire bus load of people saw the man’s ass, ass hair, etc. No one laughed because all of us are a mere step away from that life. There is not a damn thing funny about any of this!!!!  Billions have gone into the coffers of warmongers, war profiteers, while innocent people are left to sit out on the street and die, and their numbers are ever increasing. This world cannot last much longer, not with the horrific shit that is being allowed to go down, nay…encouraged to go down. People have nothing left to lose and I am talking about millions of people, who no longer have anything left to lose.

As I type this, the sound of sirens has not ceased. I go to bed to the sound of sirens; I hear sirens all day long and I wake up to the sound of sirens. Does that sound mean that all is well? What do YOU think???!!!

What you see in those pictures, IS AMERCA!!!! WELCOME TO HELL!!!!
