>>William Haynes: Welcome back to SourceFed. I live in an apartment.

>>Will: Ever since the great Recession cities in
America have been attempting to "solve" the
epidemic that is homelessness. We COULD give
them shelter, or make resources available
but NOPE in some cities we've made it illegal
to be homeless.
>>Joe: Um, just so you guys know we are going to be utilizing a 'sarcas-o-meter'
in this story for the sarcasm impaired. Okay coming on. 
>>Joe: Making it illegal to be homeless is like
making it illegal to press a large red button.
There are some things you just can't stop.
However there are things you CAN to do prevent
them. Like helping people before they get
to that stage or putting a glass case on top
of the red button.
>>Will: That makes is harder to click it.
What makes it even worse is that according
to a report by the National Law Center on
Homelessness and Poverty there are now citywide
bans on things that homeless people need to
not die and become unhomlessified. Like bans
on begging have increased by 25 percent.
>>Joe: Because seeing poor people makes me sad,
not enough to do anything about it, but sad.
>>Will: There are now bans on sitting or lying
down in particular public places have increased.
>>Joe: Once I came out of a Starbucks and almost
tripped on a homless mans giant backpack.
If he's REALLY homeless, how could he have
that many things anyway?
>>Will: Also, bans on sleeping in vehicles have
increased by 119%.
>>Joe: But this one makes sense because if you
can afford a car, you can obviously afford
a house. What're you, poor?!
>>Will: Law center director Marcia Foscarinis stated,
"There is a severe shortage of affordable
housing and a lack of emergency shelter options
in our communities leaving homless people
with no choice but to perform basic acts of
survival in public areas."
>>Joe:You know why there's so little affordable
housing? Because people like to make money.
Yeah, you could sell houses for cheap, but
then you'd make less money.
>>Will: I like having money more then I like people to have homes.
And if you'd make less money that means
less fancy dinners and Gandhi forbid having
a smaller TV at home. And you NEED to see
'Game of Trones' and reruns of 'Friends' in 1080p right?
>>Joe: Friends was shot in 480i idiot!
>>Will: It was later rereleased in 1080i for HDTV's
idiot!
>>Joe: You right.
>>Will: I know.
How do you guys think we can solve homelessness
before it even happens?
>>Joe: And if it does happen what are the steps to get us out of that situation? Let us know in the comments down below?
