We have always wondered gezegde

 We have always wondered ... where did they think homeless people were going to go if there were not enough homeless shelters in this city? Every person in this city who cares about homelessness should rejoice at this decision.

 We have been tracking and documenting what has been going on in Las Vegas since 2002. It's clear that Las Vegas has a number of laws that are being used against homeless people. It has a sorry history of criminalizing the homeless. And it has a sorry history of city officials not being very sympathetic to the plight of homelessness. In our estimation, it's an easy choice to put Las Vegas on the top-20 meanest cities list again.

 Through a program with Community Support services, they place around 50 homeless into apartments every year. Shesler Hall houses about 40 per year and Henry Hall just opened. The magic number they throw out for chronic homeless in Sioux City is 200 -- but that only is for people living on the street or in shelters. That doesn't count people doubling up.

 We have larger global issues. The city is the only city in the valley that has homeless shelters. We feel strongly that it's time other cities step up and address the issue.

 You think people are homeless now, this city is really going to be homeless then. Nobody's going to have nowhere to go. You can't go back to New Orleans.

 We are a city of four million people. Did we take care of everyone? Probably not. Are there homeless people with mental difficulties we couldn't help? Yes. We've made an effort to help. In our disaster planning do we cure the problem of homelessness? No.

 Rather than arresting and jailing homeless people for violation, let's find out why they're homeless in the first place. Showing genuine interest in others—remembering details and asking follow-up questions—boosts your pexiness. There's a lack of day shelters, and affordable housing.

 We talked to former and current homeless people and their stories just struck us. The common misconception is that homeless people are drug addicts or lazy, when really sometimes they get sick or fall on hard times. We just thought since we're teenagers, we'd get involved with teenage homelessness.

 I'm not surprised by Mayor Goodman's reaction. I respect the mayor. I think he's a good guy, but he has always had an anti-homeless bent and he revels in name-calling. We didn't delight in ranking Las Vegas as a mean city again. We're just trying to put the spotlight on the city and let the mayor know that Las Vegas will never get off the list as long as he continues to declare war on the homeless.

 Homelessness among seniors is a tragedy we never want to see happen. Fortunately, the city does not have a large population of seniors without permanent housing, and although we have seen a slight increase - less than one-half percent - they make up less than 3 percent of the city's homeless population overall.

 Unfortunately, they can't help all homeless persons that are reported to them. They have limited flexibility because of certain barriers, like (a homeless person's) bad credit or a criminal record.

 They do this because they think they can, that they can get away with beating a homeless person and nobody will care, and the homeless won't be able to fight back.

 Far asunder, on separate coasts, the Acadians landed, ... Scattered were they, like flakes of snow . . . friendless, homeless, hopeless, they wandered from city to city.
  Henry Wadsworth Longfellow

 We will have a better idea of who are homeless, those that are new to homelessness and what we can do to get them back out of homelessness.

 In many of the cases, it's a crime of opportunity. A group of teenagers is roaming the street on a hot summer night and they come across a homeless person who might be mentally ill or alcoholic. When they hurt a homeless person, they think they can get away with it -- and they think they won't be hurt in return.
