Okay bro, here it is. Homeless is a major problem in U.S. There are thousands of people just living on the street. All they wish is that they can have a nice bed, well home for that matter. But instead they are living on the street in the hot, cold, and rain and even snow. In the street lawyer there was a lot of talk about homelessness and trying to figure something out to help them. But I cant speak for all but from what I have seen homeless people do not try to help themselves. They sit on the side of the road and wait for someone to give them a dollar. But lets say they get lucky and some nice person comes along and gives them 5? What do you think the average homeless person would do with it? Get food? Try and get cleaned up a little bit so they can get a job? No they are going to walk there happy little buts to the liquor store or buy a pack of cigarettes. That is the reason why I do not like to donate money to them.
If someone is homeless they messed up somehow in there life to get in that position. Weather it be drugs, drinking or just lazy. Im not going to take the time out of my day or give them my money if they are going to take it and go buy some crack. Now there is a big difference between being homeless in Cleveland and Washington D.C. In D.C. everything will be a lot more expensive then anywhere else because of all the the people that money. Washington D.C. is a very wealthy city. With all the lawyers doctors and shoot even the President lives there. Now, in Cleveland I wouldn't say its poor but there is a lot less money in this city so things will be cheaper. Food, clothes, and everything that a homeless person may want or need. Including crack. Which is not a good thing. The reason why homeless people do drugs in because one, they don't have anything else to look forward too, and two if they are sober they might be thinking a lot and they will get all depressed. Well if they all mess up on drugs then they wont care about anything until they are sober. That is the same thing with alcohol they will just drink and drink till they pass out, Then wake up and they will do it all again.
I feel like if a homeless person went to a shelter, got somewhere to stay, get cleaned up a little bit they could go out and get them selves a job. even if they make 8 bucks a hour it is a least something so they can get out and maybe save up the money to get a apartment or something like that. Then if they want to get out the city they can keep saving and get a car. I mean shoot (I wanted to use a different word) they can even say screw the house or apartment and get them selves a car and they can just live out of that. then you can get to work, and get around the city faster and even get another job somewhere else. Just got to make sure you get a Chevy so your car does not break down all the time.
