Bruce Tuncks Posted February 25, 2021 Share Posted February 25, 2021 Onetrack and jerry, you both say much that is correct but you actually explain why things are so bad. @ onetrack, it is too easy to blame the homeless themselves and you are correct... but if this were the complete truth, then why do we find some deserving people homeless? and Jerry, for sure they need lots more things but I say first give them a chance to sleep safe and dry. I bet that the self-esteem of having a place of their own would help a bit with the other stuff in some cases. I don't rate myself as a bleeding heart, in fact if they didn't respond to the gift of a place to live, then I would throw them out for sure. But they would have been given a fair go. There was an interview with a homeless guy on tv a while ago. He was thrown out of his housing trust flat because he often spent the rent money on new clothes, and he regretted doing this but it was too late. I thought he was a good advertisement for the idea of quarantining his money, which I would do instantly. They would get their welfare with a credit card which would not be valid for grog etc. Grog money would have to be earned by doing chores. Rent would be deducted before you saw the payment. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
