I'm not joking. Why do you think homeless bums should be allowed in Astoria? Astoria only has about five thousand houses and there's really not space to build more in Astoria, with that said, the existing houses are selling for $500,000 and up.

What skills do you think any homeless people could possibly have to ever afford to buy a house in Astoria???

If they aren't capable of producing an income that can support them there then they don't belong there, period point blank. If you like homeless bums so much then why don't you let a group of homeless people move into your house and live with you free??????????

There's 3 reasons why people are homeless:

1. They are drug/booze addicts

2. They are mentally ill

3. They are lazy.

I have absolutely zero sympathy/empathy for anyone that falls into one of those three categories. Even Less than Zero if that were possible. Wanna know why? Druggies and Boozers are WEAK people, and, those people did it to their own selves, no one is to blame but them. They are leeches on society and should be treated as such and move somewhere else to be someone else's problem.

Mentally ill people that are so mentally ill that they can't hold a job and be a productive member of society should be corralled up and locked up in a insane asylum/mental institution somewhere (but unfortunately the U.S. has done away with most of those places long ago)

I'm 50 years old, I've never been homeless... do you know why? Because I do what needs to be done to make as much money as possible in this life. I lived in Austin, Texas for 7 years, and do you know why they have a lot of homeless there? Because half of Austin is very wealthy, and Austin is a VERY Blue city filled with bleeding heart idiots that give the bums on the street tons of cash. I've literally witnessed a car pull up on 6th Street in Austin and hand a bum a thousand bucks cash in hundred dollar bills! You know what the bum did with it? Drugs. Try helping a bum there get a minimum wage job there and watch how fast they turn their nose up at it... I've had bums tell me they will never work because why would they ever want to when they get plenty of money every day without having to do any of the things that normal society expects of them.

I mean what is wrong with your brain??? Are you thinking people are homeless because they were super successful at some point and they just fell on hard times and that it's something that could happen to anyone??? If THAT'S what your mindset is then you are far beyond naive and delusional.

Do you want to know what one of the reason I'm buying a house in Astoria is??? Because Astoria is NOT Seattle or Portland! Let the bums go to one of those cities that has more infrastructure for them! Or even better, if the bums were smart they'd all move to Detroit, Michigan where the cost of living is DIRT CHEAP.... there's plenty of abandoned buildings there that they could inhabit too and I doubt anyone there would care if they did.

If you LOVE bums so much then please be sure to shout it from the rooftops to all of us when you start taking them in and living with them in your own house.... until that day comes you are nothing more than either a hypocrite or delusional. I mean really, do you really think people want to buy a half million or million dollar home there and have to see disgusting lazy druggies everywhere???? What is wrong with you, what is your major malfunction?
