Since that time there has been repetious contact with BPD and Ada Magisterial Court for physical violence in the residence and two Protective Orders 8/09. This female has caused extreme discord within the relationship by inciting social mayhem against Idaho State Statutes, physical violence at the level of an animal attack 3 of 4 times in an hour, that resulted in a concussion; personal relations in the neighborhood to include malicious harrassment by an elderly neighbor to my Property Management Company when the perpetrator falsely claimed innocence, PM Co. illegally ended lease of rental with no written notice to leasee(as if it were a ‘house of ill repute’!!!), now resulting in homelessness, loss of ability to maintain legally required residency to the male, possibly resulting in his re-entry to prison, excellerated financial hardship to both previous co-tenants, and numerous other problems that were escalated by her ‘vagrant’ status.

The viscious, animal like attack was questioned by the BPD officer regarding civil/criminal handling. How can this be addressed on the Civil Level, then the ‘samaritan’ act of shelter result in Criminal mayhem upon the samaritan? Vagrancy Laws…you bet, especially in winter when tax payers provide death service to someone who has not been responsible enough to establish a residency before freezing weather.

If incapable, and unwilling to go to the shelters, bus them back to where they came from for their own protection and that of others. 30-60-90 days no permanent address, no local employment, no registered vehicle, no taxes paid, no taxes used. There are variables to use in the equasion of ‘vagrancy’ laws to benefit the public and the individual.

I personally do not find someone asking for reasonable help offensive in this time of need, as seen in TX a panhandler refuses food and there is a street war over territory; however, there are appropriate ways to meet needs…even for travelers, one of whom traveled across our nation with no feet. Ignorance or incompetence which we find rampant in this day of drug infestation is largely based on a lack of appropriate help when it was ‘affordable’ and then left to linger until the obvious result is tragedy. Vagrancy and Panhandling are not the same issue; yet both are very current events in our National financial ‘environment’.

They already are. What more do you think the city should provide and how much of our tax money specifically should be alotted to it? How should this be done exactly? What services? What restrictions will be in place to avoid fraud? Any checks and balances? How will this reabilitate?

Some elements of society will always be there no matter how much you try to help them be like you.

We have more heart here and plenty of change for the suffering, disabled, sick homeless.
