I think the most interesting and perhaps the saddest aspect of my city is the hidden homeless population.

It is sad and getting worse. And it’s multi-layered.

Some don’t want to ‘live normal’. They fear authority, sometimes with very good reasons. They don’t want to provide personal information. Especially now.

I rode the city bus a lot a few years back. There was an elderly man with a wheelchair that I frequently encountered. He said he was a veteran and homeless. As an ex-social worker, I wanted to help. I offered to try to help him get available benefits.

He was terrified of me. He shouted, “Stay away from me.”

I couldn’t blame him, but I couldn’t help him much either.

Very sad. The TV series “Intervention” did a whole season in Vegas and this area was a prominent part of it.

I heard too that some have jobs but cant afford the high rents. They are being bitten by huge spiders.

Yikes…I have wondered how many rattlesnakes and scorpions are in the underground areas where the homeless are living.

That’s so sad.. and now it being illegal to be homeless it puts even more pressure on them..

i think it's bs that america sends billions to other charities over seas and even to random unessential programs within america but doesn't take care of their own homeless or have official programs to safely home domestically abused women and children ..

It's gotten worse I see. 😔

Damn!! :(

It's going to get worse

Ive seen a few videos on this.... it's mind blowing .

How is this the future?
How did we end up this fucked up 😥

I worked a substation with security back in 2007 near a tunnel entrance, they would come out at night to raid the dumpsters.
