This is pretty much the same in every single state controlled by Democrats. It is a sickness that cannot be cured.


It's the same in Republican controlled Ohio, Tom. Except we don't have
any homeless who are former olympians, AFAIK.

Maybe the Democrat states have higher quality homeless?

I suspect from the write up that she suffers from more problems than a
lack of skills but she can ride a bike, so...

Cheers,

John B.


Yeah that's the impression I got too. She has other problems, mental of some sort. And she is 56 so getting a job is basically impossible. At least a first job, starting over kind of job. If she had been working for 20 years and was changing jobs, then sure she could get a job. But starting fresh, F-ck No. Not including minimum wage jobs.

A noble goal to which we all might aspire.

So the staggering number of homeless in Texas can be cured? Why is homelessness so low in Bernie Sanders' home state of Vermont? https://www.usich.gov/tools-for-action/map/#fn[]=1400&fn[]=2900&fn[]=6000&fn[]=9900&fn[]=13500

Come on Jay, Vermont has a relatively tiny population and it is a state that makes Washington state look like Hawaii. And yet Vermont has about half the RATE of homelessness as Washington. Oregon with a little better weather conditions than Washington has a little worse homeless rate.

You can check out the weather in those areas - while Vermont has bad weather in the winter, relatively New Hampshire has a long sea coast heated by the Gulf Stream and the slightly better weather translates into more homeless..

So what you're saying is that New York has fewer homeless than Vermont because they are such a paternal/friendly state rather than homeless staying outside in New York and Vermont simply die of exposure?

Err... New Hampshire's "long seacoast" is 18 miles long :-)
The average daily highs in that area are (average December, January
and February) 35 degrees (F) and nightly lows are 12 degrees (F).

It is strange, growing up in New Hampshire there just didn't seem to
have been any "homeless". There were "Hobo's", who were homeless, but
they migrated to more hospitable climes during the winters.

I find it interesting that Mississippi, which has about the highest
poverty level in the U.S., about 22% also has the lowest homeless rate
at (2016) some 1,738 individuals, some 0.05 % of the population.
Indiana, the second lowest level of homeless has shown a drop in the
numbers of homeless of some 16% since 2010.

As both states have a fairly benign climate that doesn't seem to be a
major factor in homeless rates.

Well, sorta. This environmental remediation firm
specifically lists 'homeless camp cleanup' as a possibly
dangerous situation:

And then this:

Maybe an urban area with tons of human waste isn't exactly
like a small compost pile at the end of the garden.
