The joke is you can move on to a piece of land and build a mud brick mansion which will outlast modern materials for a fraction of the cost of what's in the real estate brochures. Add a composting toilet and grey water and your garden will flourish. It's just the mindset that needs changing.

In that first video they estimate that some homeless folk cost the tax payer somewhere between 90000 to 150000 dollars a year!
Assuming that is correct it would be far cheaper to house and feed the homeless instead of leaving them on the street.
The reality is people who denigrate the poor and chastise them and say they are worthless and don't deserve help are in fact paying twice as much to care for them than they would if they could find a little empathy.

Wow. Is that less or more than it costs California per prison inmate, per year?

Homelessness is fast becoming a worldwide epidemic, it's sickening to see these images in the Vid like you posted above, we really need to change this paradigm .
