...the final solution to the homeless problem

This is great news!

Columbia South Carolina has solved the homeless "problem" with "quality of life" police.

According to this report, the Columbia City Council unanimously approved the plan, creating special police patrols, that would enforce “quality of life” laws, involving loitering, public urination, and other crimes not necessarily restricted to the homeless population.

Makes me proud to be an American.

According to the Activist Post, the Columbia South Carolina plan is already complete with an urgent Emergency Homeless Response report. And that report includes information about hauling the homeless away in transport vans to an already stationed shelter with workers, phone number for townspeople to report “the person in need,” an officer stationed to control foot traffic, public feeding moved there, more foot patrol officers for the city to keep out the homeless. Oh, and the homeless can’t walk off the premises!

If they want to leave, they must get permission, set up an appointment and be shuttled by a transport van. A patrolman will guard the road leading in to make sure homeless don’t wander off downtown.

Ex-prisoners will be shuttled there unless someone picks them up from the county jail. No foot traffic allowed, only shuttle van arrival. The plan is a city plan and not a federal government plan.

A city council plan in Columbia, South Carolina broke open when it was learned that the city manager and police chief seemed appalled and said they didn't go along with the actions, wanting to do things "the legal, proper way."

What was the plan and what makes it a human rights violation that has the manager and chief concerned?

Something like that was talked about here in Portland Maine a few years back.

Huge homeless 'problem' because we give them free room and board- they come up on the buses from Boston.

Sadly, it's a systemic problem- there isn't really any "solution" under the existing central banking umbrella government.

Of the 2-3 million persons who experience homelessness annually, ten percent have been identified as chronically homeless due to their protracted spells of homelessness and the duration of their homelessness history. On any given night, this group will represent almost half of those who are homeless.

So what is this? They are prisoners of the town? Its illegal to be homeless now eh? So your place of employment closes up and then they lock you up next. Nice. Amerika strikes again. Just open up those FEMA camps and start herding them in folks.

Sounds like the 'undesirables' are being gotten rid of again,I see.

There are plenty of people with solutions- but as a homeowner who just got a surprise bill from the IRS (instead of the refund I was expecting), I'm currently sitting in a position where my net worth is less than the value of a check I wrote two weeks ago.
That means I'm basically staring down the idea concept of losing my home and everything I own (including vehicles, which would lead to a rapid loss of employment)- effectively joining the ranks of the homeless.

I've been in a good paying career for a decade- had I been born 20 years earlier I'd be middle class by now.
Instead, I'm borderline homeless. What's up with that?
I know I'll pull through- if push comes to shove there are people I can lean on, even. But this is a mess- we feed them! Some of them are perfectly happy bumming around town begging for cash, bumming loosies, getting their food and shelter at night. I assume most of them are not- and they're stuck.
There are plenty of available jobs- none of them pay well enough to afford housing, and garbage jobs tend to work you on strange schedules- they can hire more people on split shifts, and never have to pay anyone overtime.

It's a mess, for sure- but the solution isn't to round them up and stick them in the for profit prisons- which is exactly what this will end up doing.
But those middle class crooks (the ones working for the banksters) won't have to worry about the less fortunate squatting on their nice green reservoir watered lawns, eh?

Wow

We have come so far as a people haven't we.

How messed up are some of these people?

a reply to: wasaka

Well that sounds just like a magic trick,a slide of hand and voila..out of sight out of mind......

This is such a broken system,these band aid fixes only have a short shelf life.....no doubt these people will end up in slave labor.....

Interesting how they call this a civilization because there is nothing civil about it

Sounds like these A-holes should take a lesson from Utah.

T he surprisingly simple way Utah solved chronic homelessness and saved millions

Being homeless shouldn't make you into a criminal.

You can measure a civilization by how they treat their weakest members.

Very- just look at the psychopaths in charge of everything from banks to governments to major corporations.
Not all of these madmen are in positions of real power- most of them just work for the local citizen harassment squad

Well, I don't have the energy to investigate every issue but I did watch the imbedded video in your post. In that video, it references Executive order 10990 as giving authority to basically commandeer all modes of transportation and control of all highways and seaports. This is bunk!

I don't have the energy to examine every executive order listed in the video but if the rest are no more valid as the first, I'll have to pass on this post.

This isn't quite current news:

The plan was spearheaded by Councilman Cameron Runyan who doesn't understand the criticism:

We don’t think there is any (constitutional) violation.

This is not about hurting people. It’s about helping them. But we’re not going to allow them to live on our streets anymore.

[...]

There are people who are going to resist it. It’s unfortunate that we’re going to have to give them some tough love.

It seems that many cities eventually come up with some bright new plan to deal with homelessness. I don't think this particular plan even made it to implementation. In other cities, plans actually go into effect and then get scrapped after they are found to not be workable.

It is all part of the great deception on how well this country is doing for those not in the top 1% as we move further into the elites Satanic Globalist Utopia.

If it were not for Food Stamps, Welfare, and rulings such as this, they could not hide their deception from the masses of people in this country.

Only in America, Land of the "Free"
Sounds worse than Hitler's Germany

At least they got a shower before being gassed quickly.
In America, if you are homeless and not contributing to the motherland via Taxes and Wall Street Gains, you deserve to be torn to shreds by a wild beast.

At least they haven't taken the Soylent Green solution: Setting up euthanization centers and processing them into food. I'm not saying that I support their plan. I don't. But, it could be worse.

With it looking more and more like 1984, your thought does not seem that far off.
Who says you cant squeeze profits from the homeless dead.

Of course their excuse would be something along the lines of: Look how much resources we saved (produced) now that they aren't being diverted to useless breathers.

So basically they've taken the same approach to dealing with the homeless people as they do stray animals? WTF. What's next? Spay and neuter programs? I hope it's a no kill shelter.

Wow, so basically treating homeless people like stray dogs and criminals? It's about time we started tackling the causes of homelessness, or at the very least, as other posters have said, give them a leg up by providing accommodation as they have done successfully in Utah.

Every day I hear something that makes me question whether we are living in the advanced 21st century. It causes me to roll my eyes so hard each day I actually see my brain. The "most intelligent species" really needs to get with the program already...

It's always the tact of fixing an effect (rashly, usually) rather than preventing the cause. This fix is very unsettling, given we've been down that unfortunate road a few times. Haven't learned the lesson yet apparently.

I'd like to know how bad the homeless problem was in the boom time of the 50's and 60's when the middle and lower classes had a chance to get somewhere. I would guess that it wasn't much of a problem since people were gainfully employed and the family unit was still solid. Generations took care of their families - now it's every person for themselves in an era of employment scarcity and stagnation. I can't understand how people forget so easily a time when blue collar jobs were the lifeblood of our economy and now corporations produce goods in communist countries and blithely sell the products back to an oblivious public. The current service based economy is not sustainable - we need to produce tangible things to flourish. There will never be a society without poor but we are living in a time when almost all of us are one job loss or medical crisis away from being homeless.

A "no kill" shelter for humans is called a prison, and those are now for-profit all throughout the country, so I suspect this is the next logical step.

Of course, you can't just throw thousands of people in prison for being homeless (yet)- they would catch public attention.
First, you need to drive them to evil criminal activities such as stealing food.
Tear down their homes, keep them hungry, outlaw feeding them, keep them from getting comfortable... sooner or later they'll unwittingly break a law worthy of sending the citizen harassment squad over to pick them up and cart them off to the nearest "no kill shelter"
