"And this is supposed to be the best country in the world. It is not even able to take care of its own citizen but keeps on giving lessons and advice to other country.
Sorry , but America is going down the drain at high speed.
the economic crisis is all over the world but so far in Europe you don't see people in the streets because they lost their home.
Any legislator feeling guilty when reading this article ?certainly not most of the politicians are too busy passing laws about guns , dogs in restaurant . ."


You know, I don't see too many under-nourished folks in these pics of the Sacramento Tent City. Catch the heavy set chic smoking cigarettes.

I have sympathy for those needing and looking for a helping hand. I have little for those looking for a handout who are capable of gainful employment.

We could adopt the European model. You know, housing is a right, like health care. Give all homeless some form of housing.

Norway's approach.
ATTITUDE TOWARDS PEOPLE WHO ARE
HOMELESS
Since 2001 the focus on homelessness has developed
from almost none to a political issue. The vision
‘Good, safe housing for all’ was introduced in the
White Paper of Housing Policy in 2003. The attitude
has changed from obligation of behaviour to deserve
housing, to housing as a human right, stating that you
will have an offer of housing even if you:
• are poor
• have a drug or alcohol dependency
• do not want to receive treatment
• are not free from symptoms
("Can you spell NIMBY")
