Possible Solution Identified for Small, Homeless Encampment in Downtown Bemidji
To bad there isnt a solution to actually help with the homeless problem
thanks for looking into this – tho it raises a whole lot of questions, like 1] where is the new fed. building, 2] why was there a need for a new fed bldng. 3] who are the new owners 4] why would they buy this & not even know what they're going to do with it 5] why would the cops say they couldn't do anything [it's obviously a health hazard & 'attractive nuisance etc.], 6] how is telling them to 'move along' a 'solution? Is that like maxine waters' telling homeless people to "go home"??? P.S. – someone should check what's under that black tarp in the corner…..
Well no wonder why i cannot reach BIA. My google searxh still has them at that building
Where is the new building?
Telling them to leave isn't a solution. You created a problem that they had a solution for already.
What is Inews next brilliant solution to homelessness? Gas chambers and Guillotines?
Homelessness Is getting bad up here not only Homelessness its the crime and the lack of resources to handle these situations.
You mix in drugs and alcohol along with peoples mental health
This is what you get
Solution – Stop doing drugs, alcohol and get a job!
this may be the very definition of having nothing better to do than try to make other people's lives harder..
It should a complex for shitty news people, they can I newz in first, you got a place to practice the word Ahhh so it can be perfected.
Hope this got resolved…
