El Cajon mayor, organization reaction to Supreme Court ruling on homelessness

Children don't go to jail they bounce around in the Foster Care fiasco maze.

I was homeless shortly after the pandemic started because i was between jobs right when it started...i stayed at a shelter and it was a freaking nightmare....never again would i enter a shelter. I dont drink or drug and being with those while they are in their addiction is as bad as you'd imagine.

Yes, but there are Thousands of homeless, not hundreds. 💩

Shelters don’t fix the underlying issues. Jobs, affordable housing, a path to mental stability.

Maybe they could use the resources they will use to get them off the street to fix some of the abandoned home just sitting and have more low income housing to help out...

The problem is not every place has those services to offer people. Rent control is needed affordable housing and keep Hedges funds from buying up all the inexpensive properties! There’s a whole mosaic of services needed. I hope this city is successful because people have a right to housing.

I was homeless in El Cajon for almost 2 years. Most of the homeless just live underneath in the sewers and the tunnels it’s cooler down there and the police don’t bother you.

Can’t accomplish anything without mental health facilities, crime prevention and enforcement as well as compassionate homeless assistance. I am a Conservative by the way. Working together towards solutions is what’s needed, not taxing others into homelessness.

I think the judges should at least spend a day on the streets before making such judgments when it deals with those who have little to no resources.

Every park in El Cajon has needles & used condoms in parks & playground areas. That is cruel & unusual childhood memories

Keeping you in our thoughts and prayers^^

How can squatters be allowed to take up residence in other people’s houses but are not allow to take up residence in public places? Something seems very wrong about that.

What happened to the billions of dollars that was thrown at this issue? They could have build facilities to house all the homeless and equipped it with mental health/substance abuse treatment, vocational rehab, a cafeteria etc with all that money

The (un) Supreme Court has NO place making this ruling. Think about this: if you were homeless and didn't have any place to stay - where are you going to go or sleep. Where ever you can! Nobody is giving you money for a hotel / motel, you have no home, nobody is buying you one, nobody is giving you a bed (even if for only one night), basically YOU are lucky to be alive! The supreme court should either PUT UP OR SHUT UP! They have their little pockets lined with lots of $$$. Not everybody is as lucky as they are. ABC10, you need to protest this ruling OR start helping people!

Banning homelessness is not fixing the problem.This is so idiotic😢

Help someone , volunteer at the local shelter or Salvation Army. Don't wait for others to help because most would rather criticize government. Passing the responsibility to state/local us normal . Be the Change you want to see . You'll be glad you did .

Imagine all the homes and apartments that would open up (bringing down the cost), the fewer vehicles there would be on our roads, the smaller class sizes in our public schools, as well as the health care options becoming cheaper, if we just deported the 40 million people in the country illegally. Sixty-two percent of the electorate want to deport every single person here illegally. What are we awaiting for?

Criminalizing the poor.... Might as well staying in jail, st least it has a roof, 🚿 and food and safety 🥺

Narcissists and psychopaths lack empathy. It is safe to say that the same applies to patients with other personality disorders, notably the Schizoid, Paranoid, Borderline, Avoidant, and Schizotypal. Empathy lubricates the wheels of interpersonal relationships. Many personality disorders can be associated with a lack of empathy, including: Psychopathy A subtype of antisocial personality disorder that can involve a lack of empathy, guilt, remorse, fear, and shame. People with psychopathy may also be manipulative and deceitful. Narcissistic personality disorder (NPD) People with NPD may have a sense of superiority and behave in condescending ways, such as being arrogant, haughty, or scornful. They may also have difficulty building healthier relationships and managing their emotions. Antisocial personality disorder People with this disorder may violate the rights of others or age-appropriate norms, and may be impulsive, aggressive, callous, or deceitful. Borderline personality disorder (BPD) This disorder can make it difficult to have successful friendships and romantic relationships.

Poverty is a policy
