The Biden administration’s Interagency Council on Homelessness has announced its current position which, to no one’s surprise, doubles and triples down on the same policies that turned San Francisco and Los Angeles, among other major cities, into unlivable hellholes swarming with diseased mentally ill junkies randomly assaulting people in public.
The Interagency Council on Homelessness falsely claims that mentally ill junkies living in tents on city streets is a “housing” issue rather than what it actually is, a substance abuse and mental illness issue.
The Biden administration proposes the same discredited program of fixing the vagrant mentally ill junkie problem with a “housing first” approach. Never mind the fact that this is a population that cannot reliably and safely live in housing, often doesn’t even want housing and that the efforts to build housing have created very little housing while putting money in the pockets of special interests.
The administration bizarrely claims to have dramatically cut the vagrant population, before later admitting that the population has actually grown.
More relevantly, the Interagency Council on Homelessness fires a shot at desperate communities trying to keep junkies from shooting up near their kids.
As homelessness has become more visible, there has been a troubling rise in state and local laws that criminalize and exacerbate homelessness by making it illegal for people without a home to do certain activities in public that are otherwise legal in the setting of a home: sleeping, sitting, eating.
Also urinating and defecating. Not to mention using drugs.
The Biden administration has also picked up the socialist motto, “housing is a human right.”
“Housing should be treated as a human right,” said USICH Executive Director Jeff Olivet. “Many Americans ask, ‘Is it possible to end homelessness?’ The answer is, yes, the United States can end homelessness by fixing systems—not by blaming the people being failed by them.”
Systems don’t randomly stab passerby, mentally ill junkies do. The system fails to the extent that it empowers them to do this by preventing common sense measures and enforcement.
If you voted for or support JoJo Cabbage Brain Biden, it should be MANDATORY for you to take in at least FOUR homeless (or illegals…..your choice for now) for each bedroom and hallway in your home. It’s the right thing to do, and there is no downside.
Feed, clothe, and provide free internet service.
Democrats should also be forced to clean up their inner city slums
and homeless encampments with all the attending human excrement
and rat and insect infestations. Democrats are dirty and they litter like mad.
Yeah, there is a certain percentage that can be housed, a certain percentage that can’t. Another example of there being no perfect solution. Even if 95% can be housed, there may be 5% where it doesn’t work. So in practice one tries a partial solution, which may solve part of the problem, then tries to think of a solution for the remainder.
Reminded me of a blind curve in my former SF Bay neighborhood where there were some accidents. I reported it, not expecting anything to be done. But the police had the city cut back the vegetation that was obscuring the view, obvious but it hadn’t occurred to me 🙂
A common sense solution that was obvious to the police with all their practical experience, perhaps not based on any theoretical studies, but just common sense and practical experience.
I was just reading about some school for retards in Chicago that had to call the police every other day. Practical experience with such schools suggests that calling the police is often necessary. But the bleeding hearts are calling for laws against it, saying not to blame the students. Pity the poor teachers who have to deal with them 🙂
“School for retards.”
I laughed so hard when I read that.
And you’re right. Some homeless crazies just can’t be helped. We want to do the right thing but it’s impossible, sometimes. I know, I’ve been there.
When I was a kid My bother and I had this friend who was older than us and had few moral scruples who wasn’t exactly the best influence around but we liked him. He lived right next door to a school for retards called “The Sunshine School..” We used to sneak in through the ceiling vents and eat all their ice cream, spray the fire extinguishers on the floor and and do donuts in the spray and ride their retard wheelchairs into walls and stuff like that. We were delinquents but not so bad really. We would jump off the roof into the bushes, too.The shrubs would break our falls. We were kind of crazy but not so bad.
Thanks Jeff 🙂
We had a school for retards in my former mostly black SF Bay city. Everyone knew it was a school for retards, there was no political correctness back then. The retards were dumb as heck, but often very strong and physically violent. So the police had a hard job ahead of them.
Give me an S!

To the tune of On Wisconsin, Joe Bide, dapper in his woven slacks and cheer leading turtleneck, waves pompoms in CCP colors.
PinocchiJoe has the AGE to complete your chant.
Housing is a desire, not a right. There can be no right to that which requires another to provide.
Just as good government requires prisons, it also requires insane asylums.
These people have an absolute right to live rent-free in the White House. All expenses paid, including the use of Biden’s chef and maid service.
Mark my words: they are moving toward nationalization of real estate. All communist regimes have done that, and this one will not be an exception. That’s what a vote for Democrats meant in the last elections. But most Americans, including liberal homeowners, don’t have a clue what they voted for. Democracy, my foot!
Property owners are just like sheep to be sheared, for their taxes.
So the administration is claiming to have cut the numbers of homeless vagrants? War is peace, and freedom is slavery.
Well, if the Biden maladministration can (repeatedly) claim that the border is closed it can, and will, say anything. If it really wanted solutions it should consult Michael Shellenberger who has obviously studied the issue much more thoroughly and dispassionately than Biden and his lackeys.
IOW the homeless and illegals will take over the sidewalks and parks of every city in the country, except DC and wherever it is Biden goes in Delaware. This is their objective. Let it sink in.
“Sleeping, sitting and eating?”
I notice the derelicts don’t have any problem doing those things. I see them doing it every day.
And like you wrote, I see them defecating and urinating too. Nasty mother f”ers. They have no respect or consideration for the people around them.
I don’t care how low you may fall in life but you have to retain your humanity.
Where are the giant bugs from “Mimic” or the Humanoids from “C.H.U.D.,” when you need them?
It might be time to start a homeless nonprofit. The biden administration will probably be about as efficient at homeless housing as California, and they’ll blow tens or hundreds of billions on it.
Invest in a dozen tents for $50-100 each, then charge the government $3000 a month each to rent them to homeless people for free. That’s $36K a month rolling in, a 3500% profit in the first month. I could quit my day job and tour the world to attend conferences, stay in 5 star hotels and resorts, and *cough* see how other cities and countries handle homelessness.
That may be coming, massive tent cities somewhere where the climate isn’t too bad and there is adequate access to water. That is, if the government really wanted to solve the problem, which I don’t think they do.
150 years ago, huddled masses were told they could find a $10 bill on every street corner in America. Now, the coddled masses are the streets.
For all you Anti -Trump pinheads with sawdust for Brains and too CNN fake news shows Think before you vote next time if you still can
I’ve got a mostly clear field and a backhoe. I can give a few a home a couple feet underground.
The White House has a lot of rooms and there is no reason that Biden cannot take in at least two homeless people, two illegal alien families, and two refugee families from Afghanistan. Biden, be a real leader of America. Those people would have access to the White House kitchen, and official government cars driven by chauffeurs to go shopping at government expense. President Biden should set an example for all the Democratic leaders in America.
I can see it now. All those Democratic Senators and members of House taking in all those people and helping them for the next several years. Add in a few governors helping out as well. Before long, the Democrats could claim the real title of MAGA.
we already have free housing for criminals…. it’s called jail or prison
1000′ from my front door recently a neighbor on a bicycle out for a 6 am ride had a vagrant bury a machete in his face. He’s dead. The vagrant was captured 20+ miles away after he escaped via light rail to South Sacramento. Of course Democrats priorities are to close prisons.
Banning narcan is a more sensible idea.
