You can’t hardly get into Wingstop on Irving Blvd at night because all of the homeless laid out front using the electric outlets.

I have my own ideal of why we have such a homeless problem, but I don’t know exactly what the answer is.

One take on the homeless problem(CA):

Dallas Prepares for 'Armed Resistance' During Local Homeless Encampment Sweeps

When city staff turned out for a cleanup of an encampment under Interstate 45 in July, they were met by dozens of activists, some of whom were armed with rifles. They used their bodies and cars to keep city staff from cleaning the encampment, according to a Dallas Morning News editorial condemning the activists’ armed response.

....The Elm Fork John Brown Gun Club, one of the groups involved in the July incident, told the Observer that "everyone possesses a right to defend their home from those who mean to harm them."

I guess they are ready to murder over public hygiene. How noble!

The Elm Fork John Brown Gun Club is the same bunch of retards who showed up to "defend" the "kid friendly" drag show at that sewer in Roanoke. They’re going to be serious trouble some day. It would be quite interesting to see what would happen if they got into a firefight with some decent-minded veterans who had actual combat experience and fire discipline.

With there track record on hygiene, they may die from preventable disease first!

Part of the problem has been the housing bubble Essentially when the Federal Reserve creates lots of money, and has low lending rates, the prices of houses go up far beyond what they should be... so the less fortunate can not afford housing. Texas has additional issues with regards to the influx of new residents, both legal and illegal.

Inside Dallas I have witnessed a massive amount of housing built over the last several years, but I am not sure it has kept up with demand. This isn't just a problem here. Vancouver Canada had a massive influx of people from Hong Kong and has a major homeless problem.

The other side of the issue is of course substance abuse and mental illness. That is a major area where Texas can make improvements.
