    It's no secret that homeless people are attracted to population centers with high incomes. It's simply way easier for homeless to survive there than in Nowhere, Wyoming.

    Homeless people are usually homeless because of the ridiculous cost of living in the cities. They have no means to get themselves out, so they're stuck there. Then they become noticed, and some clown in government comes up with some expensive program to 'fix' the problem that the government created in the first place. That gets paid for by those work and pay taxes.

    Taxes keep going up, more become homeless, and the vicious cycle continues until we no longer have anyone to pay taxes except the Jeff Bezo's and the Warren Buffett's of the world. They move out of the country, sick of the BS taxes and regulations, and the country implodes.

    Yeah, government is GREAT!

    As far I’m concerned if they need to eat, there are plenty of geese around to kill. Learn to prep one.

    If you ever drive north of i80 there. Which is south of The Park. You’d be surprised. Beautiful. Great fly fishing.
    I can’t agree with the plains being ugly. It’s a different kind of beauty. A freedom to me. Same with the desert. ...
    Now I do agree with ugly cities. I won’t rant on that.

    I totally agree. I’ve done the drive up US 191 north out of Rock Springs, then over to Alpine and up 26 to Idaho Springs. Nice country for sure.

    100% fake news. When I was homeless I migrated from Chicago to West Palm Beach for the winter, and then migrated back in the spring. And taxes don't keep going up. In 1980 the top tier tax rate was 72%. In 1960 it was 91%.

    North West jersey is beautiful lots of hills and farmland. The rest of the state can suck it. A lot of my family is right on the edge of the pine barrens and that is just ugly as sin
