http://www.theguardian.com/commentisf ... ve-impacts-victims-policy Solutions to help mitigate are out there - Homelessness is not a new issue. We just need a politician to take this cause under their wing and sponsor change and progress in this area - Its a problem worldwide, but some countries do it MUCH better then us. http://www.ahuri.edu.au/calendar/event_20120810.html I'd like to see a social charity hub with medical facilities, shelter and hygiene facilities and also a hub for all charity networks - To keep the neighbors happy, this homeless hub could be on the outskirts of JC. There could be some sort of labor program via a small manufacturing business (via a government contract like how the prisons make license plates) to involve the homeless and the entire hub be energy efficient via solar panels and wind turbines. The homeless would be required to participate in the hub via cleaning etc. This in turn will help with a reference and improve employment prospects and acquiring new skills - This will also give these homeless persons an address for welfare payments etc. Its just an idea with little research on how achieveable it could be, but its an idea!

Have you tried telling them they are trespassing on private property and need to leave as you've called the police?

I don't know about that. There aren't many Democrats in New Jersey I would say are progressive. Rush Holt is, but you voted for the other guy, and Buono, maybe, but she's only 20 points behind.

So what can J.C. do to prevent homelessness ? Are there other towns that have a better plan ? As far as the OP post has the city rid the area of these squatering vagrants in order to prevent a dangerous situation from occuring ? The J.C. tax paying public would like to know.

IanMac,
Democrats of all stripes (progressive, moderate, and in the case of Healy - useless) have run Jersey City since 1840, and not much has changed with regards to the homeless: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mayor_of_Jersey_City And it is about party in your veiled statement. Most conservatives are Republicans. Most liberals are Democrats. Nice try, but no.

Jersey City should have a motto like Trenton:
"What DTJC makes, the rest of JC takes"

Oh, that?s right. We also have a weak system of public education that hasn?t left Americans open to the idea that such places do exist.

3. Actually, everyone would be much better off with a higher tax rate and better services in return. [/quote] Interesting logic (Oxymoron) Perhaps you can cite someplace where this philosophy has been successful?

1. I said vote for progressive elected officials, not a particular party. 2. Homelessness is not an issue that can be solved at a municipal level. 3. Actually, everyone would be much better off with a higher tax rate and better services in return.

Nonsense. Just what party has been ruling Jersey City pretty much for generations? How's that worked out for the homeless? People can't pay a penny more in taxes, just where is the $ going to come from?

Vote for progressive elected officials who will address the root causes of homelessness rather than conservatives cutting services that people rely on.

Wondering if anyone has seen any homeless people staying down front of Riverview park. Last night we found a tent set up directly under my place on ogden ave. It's set up back from the Paterson Plank where it can't be seen from the road around that closed off cobblestone street.. We called the police around midnight but no one ever showed up. So...What course of action do i take against such vagabondry. I don't want them wandering through my alleyways or getting so close to my house.
