[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I can't believe you all live around this. That article says an example of an injustice against the homeless was a cafe trying to clear an encampment so they could actually have outdoor seating for their customers. What is it you all are trying to achieve? Drug addicts shooting up wherever?[/quote]

What are you trying to achieve? Where do you think the people should live?[/quote]

It’s definitely complicated but in this country most people who are homeless are choosing to be (to avoid restrictions placed in them by shelters.) [/quote]

The shelters suck.  That needs to be fixed as well.  But won't.

It just makes me shake my head when I see some right wing meme about something like "oh lookie they are housing illegal immigrants on a military base while vets are left on the streets to be homeless" as if it were some wonderful cushy lifestyle to be impounded behind chain link and barbed wire.  My usual response is, "OH SO YOU MEAN WE SHOULD PROVIDE HOUSING FOR MILITARY VETS?" which of course they don't, because that's "gubmint socialism freebies."[/quote]
