Yes, the homeless crisis is spiraling out of control on America's city streets. It's also reaching panic levels off the streets as well:

Chicago's O'Hare International Airport has turned into a sprawling, "dystopian" encampment for the Windy City's rising homeless population — sparking serious safety concerns among staff and passengers, who say they've been followed and harassed.

Shocking photos show filthy makeshift shelters set up inside the major travel hub's terminals. One photo even shows a vagrant collapsed and asleep inside a terminal vestibule.

"It's out of control. None of us feel safe," Vonkisha Chatman, a custodian who works the overnight shift in Terminal 1 and 2, told CBS News.

The homeless problem in the U.S. appears to get worse and worse with each passing month, posing safety hazards, health hazards, municipal concerns. It's a full-blown emergency.

About 65,611 city residents experienced homelessness in 2020, according to a 2022 report from the Chicago Coalition for the Homeless, Mary Tarullo, associate director of policy and strategy, told Block Club Chicago.

There are no real easy solutions here. But there are obvious ones, including — to start with — removing homeless camps from airports and getting the people in them to safe, appropriate facilities.

It's important to note how the Democrat-led megacity has raised massive amounts of tax money for government welfare services – but like its failing educational system (that also receives large amounts of money) – it is wholly ineffective.

Monica Dillon, who runs The Northwest Side Homeless Outreach, said the city is "stretched thin" trying to deal with the growing problem.

"We need more social services and more dollars and money to work on homeless prevention, homeless outreach and shelter outreach," she said.
