Adam Curry Explains Legal Loophole Behind Homeless Problem | Joe Rogan

the Joe Rogan experience it has grown though oh my god it's crazy changing this talk about it too much I mean I've lived in my wife Tina nice we got married in in May we bought a house together the South East Austin but we were living downtown right downtown I had a place there and we moved into an apartment together and we just saw it happening it really started with the with the scooters that's really what started to mess up Austin you know because they just overnight it's like what the [ __ ] is this and just they're everywhere and you mean Austin doll been trying to create a bike vibe with bike paths and you know just all this stuff which is ludicrous and I grew up riding bicycles and it takes maybe 50 years before everyone is accustomed to bicycle traffic you know it's not just something that's built in I turn right around the corner I still look look at my right mirror I look there so that make sure there's not a bike next to me and just built-in though people don't do that so people always getting hit and then these scooters pop up and it's just mayhem you know down everywhere they're on the sidewalks they're mowing people down people are it's nuts they go fast to just may go very fast they go there guys he's got a souped up one hmm how fast is that [ __ ] go like 50 25 see this one's a good 50 oh yeah oh I've seen him jacked up doing 50 oh my sure thing wipe your dead yeah well no there's that yeah you going down at fit he's 25 is already pretty fast he flies yeah I think most of them do about 15 15 17 miles is juicy but what I noticed is because all the Silicon Valley companies are opening up offices in Texas a lot of them in Austin and that's where they put the the human resource heavy stuff so not the top programmers this is helpdesk this is the people who review the YouTube videos so you know they're they're already kind of wack because they're watching nothing but death and destruction and [ __ ] up [ __ ] all day long they don't really have a connection to the city they're kind of like I'm here for a couple of years and I'll go move somewhere else so they don't care and they're on the scooters they don't really care about the city about the whole vibe like yeah whatever get [ __ ] up or drive around and that's become increasingly more Austin has some other problems now we're kind of following what what California where San Francisco Los Angeles Portland Seattle you know we're following the let people camp at everywhere things I'm a real problem and it's crazy here you know it's based upon it all comes from a lawsuit in Boise Idaho and that's where this started where and the first we went through the Fifth Circuit and the Ninth Circuit Court there was an appeal that said you cannot move people who are camping without having a suitable place for them to stay that you can offer them because then it's a violation of the Eighth Amendment under cruel and unusual punishment that's why and that's what Austin's well until that solved it's cruel and unusual punishment to move someone who's homeless or not move someone who's camping if you can't offer them adequate housing so these people are just camping on sidewalks they're just like they do here is that the underpasses medians you know the under passes yeah it's crazy and so it's this weird legal situation yeah this really started well they were they lifted the camp the no camping ban lifted it so it was not a problem then they said well we're gonna let anyone camp and it went nuts and all of a sudden downtown was just filled with people lay in camp and everywhere then they went oh this is not gonna work mayor Adler and City Council so okay we'll ban it in the just in downtown which is pretty much where the mayor lives you know the W Hotel this that you can't no camping in front of City Hall but we have a we're university town so you've got UT and it's just there's this whole you know like half of a like a semicircle of camping and just mayhem right on the on the outskirts of the campus and you know kids are afraid you know like nothing get into getting harassed we have squeegee guys dude I drove into New York every single day from Jersey in 8990 and you know the squeegee guys were a huge problem and then they were gone I think Giuliani like threw him in the East River or something but and now they're back in New York it's like this is not not a good thing yeah how do you fix that though the people are worried about the cruelty in fixing oh there you go you know that's the problem it's like you it's a you have you almost have to be cruel to stop that no no how do you stop well you have to engineer what are we talking about not everyone who is squeegeeing and loitering and and soliciting is homeless right or you know it's not necessarily something that they didn't choose a lot of people choose a vagrant lifestyle the tons of it particularly in warmer climates like here and I do a lot for the homeless problem in Austin as much as I can and none of it is sanctioned by the city they're [ __ ] [ __ ] build affordable housing we'll get a hotel and we'll turn that in here it's like Oh a slum hotel okay great the number one reason people become homeless is catastrophic loss of family that's the number one reason someone dies you know this and then it's just it's downhill from there and before you know it you're out on the streets very difficult to rebound from that kind of thing and so people need community everybody needs community so where do they find the community under the bridge that's where the community is and the community is transactional it's drugs you know it's whatever you did that's a community it's not a healthy one but it's a community there's actually a great project in Austin called mobile loaves & Fishes community first village started by this guy who was in construction and he just put down a whole bunch of tiny homes and people who are if you're homeless you can go there and you can live in a tiny home but you rent it and there are some you know some prerequisites but you don't have to be you know necessarily drug free because it's your homes you can do whatever you want in your home but it's like $200 or $250 a month most people if they do the paperwork they can get Social Security or disability which will cover that they still have to you know either work there in the community garden to feed themselves at different you know like a Auto Detailing got all this different stuff but there's no police saying it's not you know this or this I think there's five hundred people there now and it's working out fantastically well that's cool because they have community now that you can outside the box a totally totally gets no money from the city because there's a religious aspect to it you know there's a ministry part so oh we can't give money to that because you know [ __ ] God nuts or whatever it is but it's really working extremely well that's great when someone comes up with something yeah you know I don't I mean people should look at this Allen Graham is a saint what he did and he lives there he lives in a you know in a small you know a small home on premises yeah and if you go there he'll be happy to show you around and they got all kinds of cool stuff and but it's just people are living together he says so if Joel walks out in the morning not you Joe but the other Joe and he's got his dick hanging out and he's like instead of the neighbors calling the cops the neighbors Hey Joe what's going on man let's sit down for a second let's have a coffee let's see what's going on pull your pants up you know let's say and a community right community first village that's that's the answer but that's not the answer that you hear from your local City Council or your mayor's as always we don't have a fordable housing man how's everything it's also there's a lot of mental illness that's a of course but there's a lot of people with mental illness who have houses you know it's definitely a mental illness and drug addiction but it really starts with catastrophic loss of family that's the number one reason people become unhoused out here is this shift was Jimmy would you say about four or five years ago it really started kicking in somewhere around then yeah somewhere around four or five years ago you just started noticing like villages of tents under underpasses yeah and then I used to do Fear Factor in downtown LA like right down street from Skid Row which is an extraordinary place if you've never seen Skid Row and you drive by you go what this is real like this is downtown Los Angeles and you you're in which is which which they turn beautiful by the way that really you know downtown la became really nice in some parts of yeah great great great infrastructure and everything but the restaurants and cool really no apartment buildings and stuff it's an interesting spot but then there's also Skid Row yeah which is just you can't believe the staggering numbers of people that are just camped out yeah thousands and thousands and thousands just a mass like people coming out of a [ __ ] stadium to see a game Adam Carolla said it said it really well okay where I saw him he said it's like no one wants to be the bad guy no one no one want to say okay this [ __ ] has to stop we got to do something about that and it starts with stopping whatever you're doing and that's a part of canceled culture yeah people are afraid you know because if canceled cultural is real if you have something to lose like you have nothing to lose I have nothing to lose they can you're you're bulletproof to a degree I'm bulletproof you can cancel all you want you're not taking away for me no advertisers I don't have them you know the only the people who listen can stop listening [Applause]
