Homeless Seniors in ARizona
Timothy Birdnow
There has been a big spike in homeless senior citizens in Arizona, according to a charity that runs a homeless shelter.
From an interview on KJZZ in Phoenix:
What does that tell us, class?
Arizona is crawling with illegal aliens. So who is taking up all the "affordable housing"?
If you add a bunch of poor people to your region you have a housing shortage. And nobody is going to build because these are people who won't be able to pay, or who will tear the place up if they can.
And they do; I have worked in property management for a long time and have seen it. Often migrant workers tear up their domiciles. So who is going to build for people who may not be able to pay and may tear the place up?
And as for savings, who is to blame on that score? How much has the government confiscated from these people over the years?
The interview continues;
Again, it's clear the problem is too many illegal immigrants are sucking up the services. And the solution is to double down on some of what is causing the problem (the welfare state).
Liberalism causes the problems then can't understand why they are there.

From an interview on KJZZ in Phoenix:
So affordable housing is definitely one of the big narratives behind
this. I want to talk also about lack of savings, lack of retirement
plans. Like I'm reading a little bit about this. It looks like more
seniors are renting, more seniors are retiring with less in the bank
account than they have in past generations. Are you hearing stories
like that?

The interview continues;
So here at our shelter in downtown Phoenix, we have 470
beds. Monthly, we turn away 500 people, approximately, who need
shelter. So there are people living on the streets who want to get off
the street. So we don't have enough beds, number one. Being able to
properly meet the needs of a growing population with even more needs is
a second challenge. Some of the solutions we are looking at is building
a model program for senior citizens. And secondly — and I think this is
the one that's really needed — is building a smaller shelter in another
part of the county just for the 55-plus population that is tailored to
meet their unique needs. Smaller shelter models are really the trend of
the future for specialized populations. And that's exactly what we want
to do this legislative session and seek funding, one time capital to
get it done.
Again, it's clear the problem is too many illegal immigrants are sucking up the services. And the solution is to double down on some of what is causing the problem (the welfare state).
