The government should pay, NOT THE TAXPAYERS, they spend lots of money helping other countries, now it's time to help the U.S. citizens. And not use our taxes or charge us for it.

Government has no money, ever, it is always tax payers money, unless they print money which creates inflation which always hurts the poorest people. Free stuff for the people sounds nice, but socialism has not worked anywhere in 100 years. It creates more takers than contributors.

Possible solutions include the Gov't pays, decrease real property values, reform HR, wages, redo Rental Agreements or We CAN... The definition of a truly Great Generation is the ability and willingness to change established rules and regulations in consideration of people over profit.

If some people don't get help, they will just end up homeless, and it will cost taxpayers one way or the other to fix the problems.

It is our responsibility to provide housing for all not just some.

We don't live in a socialist country. If people start relying on hand outs (unless they have a reason to like being disabled or being elderly) they will never get anyplace.

No. I am sorry but Socialism has never worked. If someone is unable to live in a certain area they need to move. Taxpayers should not have to subsidize someone's rent so they can enjoy a certain lifestyle in an unaffordable area.

there are already enough things to watch out for at CRR... wildlife, bikes, pedestrians, etc ...and not a sidewalk anywhere... would prefer not to see the result of an ATV vs. auto/truck...

Safe parking programs have a proven track record of successfully taking people from being homeless into having a place of their own. Safe parking programs cut down on costs to cities for ambulance calls, police calls, visits to emergency rooms and mental health crises that costs taxpayers money.

Perhaps? Hiding the un-housed in various random locations doesn't solve much. This is just another band-aid solution! Seems just the latest adaptation of "kicking the can down the road"...?
