1. ?

there are plenty of homeless folk in red states

repukes don't give a DAMN about them ANYWHERE

[Tickle]

2. I'm living in a blue

state helping the homeless. We’re not doing a satisfactory job either

[Skittles]

4. oh I hear that

indeed I do......I just find it odd that homelessness in red states would be unexpected.

6. I started the thread in response to nonstop rightwingers dumping on blue states

about homelessness and crime

[Tickle]

9. because they think it

only happens in blue states? good god they are idiots and I'm tired of this

12. In red states, rightwingers blame it on blue cities in red states.

Check out Greg Abbott's war on homeless people in Austin!

3. KCMO Seems like we have a ton of homeless here.

Every street intersection has people begging.

We have a lot of foodbanks so there are lots of places that they can go to to get a good meal every day. But so many sleep rough.

7. Florida only considers someone homeless if they don't have a roof over their heads.

In the state leadership, the analysis says that a highway overpass is a roof...

8. If the rates are lower in red states it's because

most of them get bussed to California. Then those same red states point at us and say, "look at what those liberal policies have led to!"

11. yep. Youtubers continually post videos of homeless in California. Get comments "Lib state!"

better weather here. some homeless are from other states.

13. If I were homeless that's where I would head. Weather is the factor

Texas is too hot

Everywhere else is too hot or too cold

14. Red States generate the Homeless

then they migrate to less punitive Blue cities.

Out in the PNW, the formula is: get addicted to Meth or Opiates in Montana or Idaho, burn your bridges with your family, move to Seattle or Portland where there are some benefits, some shelter, some social housing, some treatment centers.
