So what did they do with the homeless?
Probably the same thing as many other cities, forced them into existing shelters.

The dirty little secret about the "homeless crisis" is that most cities do have the facilities to help them all. They just can't get the homeless themselves to stay there. Either they don't want to follow shelter rules, or they don't like accepting charity, or they don't like to feel judged, or they don't like their freedom being restricted, or they're (justifiably) afraid of crime from other homeless. Or they have warrants outstanding and don't want to risk arrest.

The most common way that mayors and cops "clean up the homeless problem" is to pass an ordinance criminalizing sleeping outdoors. Then add a regulation allowing cops to transport non-criminal homeless people they find to a shelter instead of arresting them for being outside.

"b-b-but Trumpler is LITCHERALLY HITLER a-a-and hates migrants!", they continue to stammer out. No, we hate useless freeloaders that don't contribute. If your country is too retarded to hold onto its best, in whatever field, then descending into a freeloader state is on you. Fuck it, we'll take your best if you can't be bothered.
"Of course the NAZI would want to save a bunch of white people who are facing Social Justice for their long standing history of being OPPRESSORS and COLONIZERS. What he SHOULD do is give South Africa more funding so the Democratically elected South African governments can enact SOCIAL CHANGE that will be good for ALL Africans, including the REAL Africans that Drumpf is trying to leave behind. But no, evil Drumpf and Muskrat believe int he stupid conspiracy theory that the proud African people are somehow RACIST against white people, as if that even makes sense! And besides if they are enacting SOCIAL JUSTICE and forcing EQUITY upon the INVADERS than it's a good thing, bigot!"

It almost goes without saying because it sounds stupid, but homeless people are homeless for a reason that tends to revolve around mental illness, drugs, or a fan favorite - both. We have the euphemism "down on their luck" to describe someone who is temporarily or accidentally homeless but the sad truth is not every person can exist in modern aociety as there are those where nothing could ever shape them into a normal citizen permanently. Convincing a schizo to take their meds, if they don't want to, can spiral very quickly. Forcing someone clean when they've always used substance to run away from how they think and feel is torturous if they don't want to push through and finally deal with stuff.

Getting a gambling addict to take enough responsibility for pissing their money away that they won't do it again is like fighting a force of nature. Gambling is just what they do and it comes naturally for them. Same goes for hood niggers who only know hood life because living hood life comes naturally for them all.

It's sad there are people who can't reap the benefits of being an upstanding citizen in our society, no doubt. I guess this is what asylums were for in the past?
 
How do these people think prices go down? Trump has been in office two months, we won’t see a noticeable drop in prices for close to a year. Things need to go into effect and the effect needs to be worked out. He can’t just force every store to lower a price, it’s not like Biden magically told them all that eggs now cost $10 a dozen

thank God, Scotus ruled in favor of the city of Grants Pass. in an alternate universe, scotus ruled against them and homeless camps become a constitutional right.

Homeless people that are down on their luck are only homeless for at absolute, dog dick dragging ass, 6 months.
If you're on the streets after 6 months something is fucked with you or you've decided that being free wheelin Bob Dylan is the peak of what your life is, either way fuck off you get none of my tax dollars.
 
Fascinating article. I knew about 85% of it in disparate bits over years, but its always helpful for someone to have taken the time to lay it out start to finish like that or they just remain disparate. Links it all and puts it in perspective.
Fuck sickos.
u would gae boyy :hah:
