Some places they spend millions....... Sure they could spend the money on the homeless, but who's going to force them?

1) Those who have the money usually make the choices. Some of these whealthy people are also helping the homeless. Also those who are giving money for expensive golf places. Golf places are often not just playgrounds or sport places. Many important business contracts are discussed there: "In the United States, golf is the unofficial sport of the business world. It is often said that board meetings merely confirm decisions that are actually made on the golf course." Golf places bring much more money than they cost, I think. And with all this money, they could also help the homeless...

Specific concerns include the amount of water and chemical pesticides and fertilizers used for maintenance, as well as the destruction of wetlands and other environmentally important areas during construction." "Although golf is a relatively minor issue compared to other land-ethics questions, it has symbolic importance as it is a sport normally associated with the wealthier Westernized population, and the culture of colonization and globalization of non-native land ethics."

So what to do about this B-movie Attack of the Pastel People in their floppy-tongued shoes and their little carts? On his album Jammin' in New York, George Carlin offers a hilarious final solution to the golf problem: Turn courses into housing for the homeless. By the comedian's estimate, golf courses occupy three million-plus acres of American real estate — room enough, he says, for "two Rhode Islands and a Delaware for the homeless."

sure... let's go set up tents and welcome the homeless to sleep on golf courses.... sounds like a win-win situation to me!

who are you to determine how people spend money why dont you spend your money to help homeless how about some in your house got an empty bedroom when people spend money on golf courses it is called doing business maybe your place of employment should fire you and close up then they should spend all that money on homeless and better yet get out of your house and let lots of homelass live there quit spending other peoples money and put YOUR money where your mouth is
