[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]The encampments are a public health disaster waiting to happen. [/quote]

How so? [/quote]

Seriously?

Go visit a country like India with people living and defecating in the streets.  Open, raw sewage.  Do you not see how that leads to health problems?  TB is just one issue.

Cities in India are actually trying to clean up these settlements and you want them to flourish here in the US?[/quote]

No one wants them to flourish here. Obviously. The point is that these are human beings who will continue to need to defecate wherever you send them. Clearing out an encampment like this is not going to stop them from shitting on a daily basis. Come up with a civilized alternative for them. [/quote]

Federal work camps[/quote]

I’m the person who said it was a public health disaster waiting to happen. Government-run “work camps“ are also notorious for epidemics. This is what my undergrad degree focused on.[/quote]
