It's not Caitlins fault for not doing anything. She is in Australia for first off.
All anyone needs to do is critically examine the media reports on the homeless and it's obvious what's going on. They have been conveniently labeled by government as being drug addicts or mentally ill (and DANGEROUS). The media simply takes what the government says and reports it. I have not heard a journalist interviewing more than a few homeless people (2 or 3) who are carefully chosen by the journalist and reported on (Hawaii Public Radio for one in particular). The "SWEEPS" by the police are unconstitutional and a means of keeping them under control by not letting them organize. In one city a citizen group purchased a plot of land and established a homeless community. The city promptly bulldozed it destroying everyone's belongings and putting them back out on the street. The reason was it violated codes. There was no drug use or crime reported.
In Hawaii given the climate, tent cities could be established for what the government pays the police for doing a single "sweep". That word alone implies that the people are dirt. Subtle but effective.
Here in Hawaii a cop came up with a brilliant solution for the homeless. He said that they would feel better if they were to pick up trash for no pay. But if they did enough they could get a free plane ride to the mainland. It was county approved and a date scheduled. No one showed up. State sponsored slavery. Oh, and the comments I read in the paper thought it was a wonderful idea. Including all our honorable Elected officials and NPR Hawaii. Not once has been mentioned the housing situation because the realtors are making so much money. No rent control so the landlord can charge half the mortgage for a room and charge extra for electric and gas.
But since there are only half a million homeless it's not really a big problem. Just keep in mind that they like it and they are dangerous mentally ill drug addicts living in their cars or on the street with the kids and it's their own fault. We have to trust our honorable Elected officials because they would NEVER LIE.
And as the bottom line
It's the greedy selfish narcissist people who are causing it because they can.
