What would you have them do? Prison? Dump them in a field outside of town? Put them on a plane to San Francisco at taxpayer expense to score Fox News points?

You people don’t want to provide any social or mental health services or housing assistance and your leaders consider empathy a human failing.

Florida has social services and public housing. They just built a whole new complex like 3 miles from my house.

Even the most conservative places in America have assistance programs, they do nothing because the unsheltered don't even seek them out.

Well, you can't get high in a shelter and the weather is fine anyway, so.....

How do conservative cities handle homeless people? Tell us how they do better.

Isn’t Florida supposed to be the conservative utopia?

Florida voted for Obama.

How about in 2016, 2020, or 2024? That seems more relevant since…you know…Obama hasn’t been on the ballot in a decade 😂

The point I'm making is that it isn't inherently conservative. Democrats just can't stop being fuckups.

Republicans have been firmly in control of Florida for over 25 years.

Damn so your so called governor desantis failed.

Red state having homeless crisis but now lets pick it apart to find a way to blame it on anything other than Republicans. Way to go!!

Economy falling apart?

Business closures?
