This is beyond mindboggling me.  I can house a single homeless person fairly comfortably for a few hundred bucks.  All you need is a good tent, a decent sleeping bag, and a cheap cot and they're doing a lot better than they were before.  I would think what LA is spending to house a single homeless person could be spent to feed a whole community of homeless for an entire year.  Unless of course you're in california, where everyone has their hand in the pie.

In Klingon, “tuq” means unbelievable. Don’t ask me why I know that. 

You’re a veritable fountain of useless knowledge.  😜
 

PS; my daughter has said that about me since she was in HS.

google Los Angeles homeless pods.  they're paying $800K for something that should literally cost a few grand.  depending on what's inside them, I could possibly see the bill running up to around $15k-$20k (when you combine California's high prices with the high price of materials).  Everyone involved with building these for these prices (and everyone who's involved with paying it) should be arrested.  Never mind, just found a video of one.  Maybe an 8x6 box with an AC, a cot, and some shelving.  I go back to my "few grand" assessment.

The sad thing is, most homeless people could get themselves out of being homeless. Society has made it too appealing not to work  or even be responsible for their own survival. I haven’t noticed many “family” guys in the homeless crowd. Oh, I’m sure there are some, but the majority is lazy dope headed men. My sympathies run shallow.

Seems that many of them are suffering mental illness at various levels.  Something can’t be quite right to live your life in that manner.

Of course that’s a possibility, but I see them more as Chongs……from Cheech and Chong. Drug use can bring on various mental problems, and society does nothing more than encourage it….. then sits back and says “we have a homeless problem “ and can’t figure out why.

      REL actually improved this year to 6-4 which was remarkable because like you said, they had a lot of injuries and their bench was thin before that.  It’s crazy how the smallest of the 3 GCCISD High Schools finds a way to at least field a team that can hold their own but you’re right that coaching is one aspect of it.  Not that they’re a top 150 team or even close to it but if they’d lost a couple less guys there’s a real chance they could have beat Texas City and gone to at least the 1st round of playoffs this year which for GCCISD football might as well be State for how hard it is for them.   You’re spot-on about GCM and RSS coaches.  GCM coach is 2-28 over 3 years and RSS coach is 15-45 over 6.  Hard to get kids to participate in what they know from the outset is a losing proposition.  I watched the GCM/NS Game.  I was worried someone would get hurt, felt sick.  All 22 of NS starters are high level D1 Commits, QB is 19 years old, and GCM lined up a bunch of Sophomores against them, kids that aren’t even old enough to drive.     I know GCCISD wouldn’t ever do it but they really ought to stop insisting that the 3 High Schools play each other for their first 2 out of conference games.  At least let GCM out of it.  All 3 schools are in different Classifications so the wins don’t matter except for bragging rights around town and with REL winning both those games every season all it does is kill morale before the first District game is even played.  Let GCM schedule some OOC games on their level like Houston Sterling/Sam Houston/Chavez for their first 3.  That way there’s a good chance even if they lose every District game they could end up 3-7 and if they beat Channelview 4-6.  GCM having to lose to RSS and REL to start their season every year is just a killer.   You want to know why all the talent at EF Green Jr doesn’t show up at GCM?  Because that talent transfers to North Shore after 8th grade is done.  Straight-up.  They don’t care if you know either.  Those kids moms get on Facebook and brag about it.  Of course, most of those kids end up so far back on the depth chart that by Sophomore year they want to transfer back just so they can get to play at all but then you run into the eligibility thing.    Anyway, sorry for the off-topic tangent, this is a BH thread.

      They are very good. Really good shooting guard that's '6"3. Also have a do it all forward that's '6"5. He does everything for them. Score, rebound, defend. Maybe not as quick overall as those other teams, but I think they will at least make state semifinals.
