The homeless population is filling up the Ohio River as Beaver County residents are finding it impossible to keep up with financial demands. A recent study finds that more than 50 percent of residents residing in the river have lost their dams after wood-cutting companies quit hiring for the winter. Consequently, panhandlers are taking up space on both embankments all through the county.

Mayor Dambuilder of Aliquippa, capital of Beaver County, states that his administration is prioritizing the construction of more homes along the Ohio River. This promise was first made in early 2024 when Dambuilder first took office. Today, the same promise has been made with no more dams than what existed back then.
"I have a difficult time believing he wants to resolve the matter," Mrs. Bucktooth told the media. "I have Beaver teeth thank you very much!"

Dambuilder states that several dams have been built in his time as president of Beaver County. The only problem is that they wash away every time the river rises.
Store owners have also expressed frustration over the difficulty in keeping up with the infrastructure of their buildings. According to Mr. Tailwhack, his business of carved beaver knickknacks is struggling to continue because he cannot afford the price of cut-down branches.
"I try to nibble down branches of my own when I find the time. Unfortunately, that takes time away from carving my own beaver knickknacks, which are essential for keeping my business running."

Another issue facing business owners is the panhandlers residing outside of their buildings, which they say are driving away customers. Mr. Tailwhack expressed that the growing numbers of river rodents outside his business are driving away his customers due to their lower quality of life.
"These filthy beavers are driving away my customers," states Mr. Tailwhack. "I work hard to carve these beaver knickknacks so that my customers can appreciate them when they take them home to their dams."

The homeless population has expressed that their need for help is more important than the business owners along the Ohio River. Several of them state that they are still hungry and cold because of the current weather conditions. Consequently, Mayor DamBuilder of Beaver County signed an executive order to open several soup kitchens along the Ohio River in order that the residents of Beaver County be fed properly for the remaining portion of winter.

Until the dam housing crisis is resolved, several beavers will remain living in the cold waters of the Ohio River. Shelter may be difficult to come by unless the homeless are willing to cut down their own trees, which, according to nature, they have the capacity to do.
