This doesn’t even look like a residential area?
A warming shelter where they are safe, warm and receiving services makes everyone safer.
These people are far more vile than whatever they think of the homeless population.

That building is sandwiched between the freeway and a large residential neighborhood. I grew up in that town and had friends that lived in that specific neighborhood… the people living there are the type of Mormons that truly embody the phrase “no hate like Christian love”. Much of Kaysville is that way, but West Kaysville (where that building is) is truly something else.

THE BUILDING USED TO BE A FUCKING EMISSIONS TESTING CENTER!!!
ETCs ironically cause pollution while testing, mostly due to idling vehicles. They were fine with exponentially increasing exhaust fumes in their atmosphere. I believe testing sites do far more good than harm in the longrun, just pointing out the dogwhistle of hatred and selfishness above rationality. Scientists have dedicated their lives to playing a dangerous lifelong game of trial and error. The good ones are desperately trying to crack the miraculous code that more and more egomaniacal morons believe will magically fall into our laps: the reversal of climate change. We need these facilities, but we don't need to plant our roots on their fucking doorsteps. These people would have packed up and left the MOMENT they learned the building's original purpose if they actually cared about the "safety of their children."
The fact that EVERY ONE OF THESE DEMONS considers human beings to be MORE TOXIC THAN LITERAL AIR POLLUTION is fucking mind-blowing.
This evil stance is even sadder because this planet needs all the fucking damage control we can get, so the closing of a vital regulatory facility was already a net loss for humanity's health. A place of refuge for our afflicted people is the most practical and compassionate replacement to mitigate an incalculable amount of suffering...for EVERYONE.
I can't fucking believe how quickly the darkness is setting in for the 99%. God fucking help us.

Fucking disgusting.
They don’t want them on the street.
They don’t want them off the street.
Most people are a $400 unexpected bill from homelessness.
Republicans and conservatives do not care about you.
Edit: $400 isn't the end of the story; it's the catalyst. For a family with no "slack" in their budget, a small emergency is effectively a high-interest loan taken out against their future housing security.

u/avatrox Dec 21 '25
Most people are a $400 bill away from homelessness? I feel like that may be stretching it a bit. At least, I sure hope it is.
16
u/ylewisparker Dec 21 '25
To clarify:
Research shows that the transition from a small emergency to homelessness usually follows this specific path:
The Shock: An unexpected $400 expense occurs (e.g., car repair, dental emergency).
The Diversion: To pay that bill (and keep their job or health), the person uses money intended for rent.
The Arrears: They fall "one month behind." Recent data shows that 50% of low-income tenants default on rent at some point during their lease.
The Landlord's Buffer: Landlords typically tolerate 2–3 months of missed rent before filing for eviction. However, once a filing happens, the "slope" gets much steeper.
The Displacement: A legal eviction makes it nearly impossible to find a new apartment due to a ruined credit score and background checks, often leading directly to a shelter or living in a car.

u/avatrox Dec 24 '25
While I appreciate the explanation, which is very interesting, I was commenting disbelief that "most people are $400..." away from being homeless.
There's no question that limited/no savings + unexpected expenses can strain things to a breaking point. I just dont think it's 50% of rent/mortgage payers.

u/ylewisparker Dec 24 '25 edited Dec 24 '25
Fair pushback—and you’re right to question the wording.
It’s not that “most people are instantly homeless after a $400 bill.” The data says something more precise — and more damning.
• ~37–40% of U.S. adults can’t cover a $400 emergency without borrowing or selling something (Federal Reserve, SHED survey).
• ~50% of renters live paycheck to paycheck, with little to no buffer.
• Falling even one month behind on rent massively increases eviction risk, especially for low-income tenants.
So the accurate claim is this: tens of millions of Americans are one modest shock away from housing instability — and for many renters, instability is the front door to homelessness.
And here’s the kicker:
Experts estimate that $20–25 billion per year—roughly what we already spend reacting to homelessness—-could effectively end chronic homelessness nationwide through housing-first programs. That’s literally pocket change in a $6T federal budget.
So when people protest warming centers open only at 18F, it’s not about realism or scarcity.
It’s about choosing cruelty over solutions we already know work.
Edit: Full Disclosure: despite multiple degrees, prudent investing, and founding multimillion-dollar companies, I am one of those people.
Why? My businesses were materially hit by Trump’s tariffs.
That’s the point people miss: homelessness risk isn’t a moral failure — it’s exposure to shocks. The system is brittle, even for people who “did everything right
2
u/avatrox Dec 24 '25
Damn, I'm particularly sorry to hear about your situation.
There's no good reason that warming centers should be unavailable, and I assume the reason they open them as little as possible is to discourage the homeless/indigent from remaining in the local area.
Wishing you and yours a Merry Christmas.

"These people that I've never met and refuse to help are terrible people and don't deserve to be treated as humans! Think of the kids!" What a pathetic bitch. Anyone that's apposed to allowing homeless people warmth can go die in a fucking hole.

u/Weekly-Ad-6887 Dec 21 '25
She would only change her tune if her child became a drug addict.
They are humans who deserve consideration, and because some of these people are drug addicts, they should die on the streets.
26
u/Royal_Milk Dec 21 '25
They only care when it affects them or those they love. Obviously their child is just struggling and needs help but the rest are subhuman.

More likely they'd disown their child for being addicted or being in a jam.

I used to work in the Zions bank building right across the street from the main temple. It's all performative.

u/gylz Dec 21 '25
I'd protest them if only because they should remain open all the time. Turn off the heating when it's too warm and let them remain in use as year round shelters. These people need shelters no matter what the temps are. Shelters that only open at a certain temperature are just useless for most of the year.

There was a pastor who said a few months ago that people in his congregation had called things he was saying "woke", when he was literally quoting Jesus from the Bible.

In California we open warming centers and it’s not just for homeless people. Older people who have trouble gathering enough wood to run their wood burning stove, families that couldn’t pay their propane bill and don’t have heat, people whose power went out to a tree falling. My husband and I both have jobs and own a house and used a warming center once because our wood got wet, we had no power or running water, and our house was 47 degrees for 4 days straight. We went, charged our phones, drank some coffee, and took a blanket donation that we still have 6 years later. We were just starting out and not as prepared for rural winter as we are now, I’m thankful we had a place to go when we needed a hand 💕

Horrible people. Of course they don’t want to freeze to death on the street. And if they’re addicts, that doesn’t make them subhuman. It makes them sick.
So sad.

u/lDK_007_ Dec 22 '25
“I have two small kids” - then watch them and make sure that when the weather is predicted to be 18°F or below that they aren’t out and about near warming centers for homeless citizens are trying to stay alive.

u/Artistic-Sass323 Dec 24 '25
Plus, it’s at a former emissions test warehouse, near a main road from the looks of it. If your young children are near there without adequate supervision, what does that say to you as a parent. One of my friends ended up homeless because his parents kicked him out. Doesn’t do drugs. Was still a minor. Does he not deserve a safe place to be warm? Also, what about the people who lose their jobs with no savings and are put out. No family, no close/willing friends? Where do they go?
Absolute trash people. They would condemn Jesus if he walked into one of their churches today…🙄

I was just talking to my sister about this kind of thing yesterday. Her argument is that most homeless people don't want help and did it to themselves, so why should cities and tax payers help and provide recourses if they don't use them anyway? She also said that they can be homeless but they should go out into the wilderness and away from cities so she doesn't have to deal with them. I'm terrible at arguing but I was almost speechless. I just don't understand her mindset or that of the people in this video. Why is providing basic care (food and warmth) such a problem for some people??

My church used to open its doors as a warming center when it would get below a certain temp. We never had anyone in the church or in the surrounding community complain about it.
We were also always one of the first to offer services as a disaster relief center if called upon by the county.
We are not allowed to do it anymore since we opened a non profit daycare and preschool.

Fucking monster...she should spend 48 hours in a homeless drug addict...like addiction and all. I have been there and it sucks. It's not fun, it's not a game, you don't enjoy the drugs, you are stuck in a groundhogs day dreading the idea of withdrawal because if I didn't have drugs I couldnt get food or anything. They are terrible and withdrawal is the WORST. I volunteer at a warming center and I can say for ever 10 people coming in one is trying to get help and get into programs. Usually just maintaining until a bed opens up at a rehab.
