Some day these dummies are going to have to face the fact that they aren’t helping anyone by encouraging homeless encampments on highly trafficked public space.

All this article makes me think is that I will be especially vigilant to ensure that no tents pop up in parks near me. You have to get rid of the first one you see.

Btw - I actually support the right of people to camp on public space. It just cannot be in actual parks used by the public for recreation or on any sidewalks, and they have to be clean and crime-free. [/quote]

I like how liberals just euphemistically change the names of things to sanitize them out of political correctness. It’s the equivalent of changing your profile picture to support a cause.

Instead of being homeless you are now “experiencing homelessness” or “unhoused”. Ugh. This country is fked. We either have psycho boat parade and billy billy Trump supporters who want some kind of Christian sharia laws or we have liberal, neo-macarthyist, speech police, wealth redistribution-for-equity types who are both hardline idiots.[/quote]

Call them "bums" if you want. How does that change anything? [/quote]

It’s just unnecessary. [b]Homeless as a term worked fine. Now it’s magically verboten as being insensitive.[/b] Who is the arbiter of sensitivity? It’s not just the semantics, I don’t really care about the new nomenclature, it’s the whole pandering at all costs to every perceived underdog group at the expensive of tax paying citizens. Tax payers work hard and don’t deserves to have a massive honeless camp right in front of their house. Or like the poor rent paying people over at the Harlow apartments in DC who are living with section 8 tenants who are literally physicallly attaching them and the staff there on a frequent basis. It’s basically this soft bigotry of low expectation, take from the rich, strange Robinhood pandering mentality that is frustrating.

I could go on. Our liberal city council sucks on crime prevention and seems not to care about rising crime, as they won’t hire more police all while lowering jail sentences for violent offenders. I am liberal myself, but am losing patience with how idiotic so many of the “solutions” seem to be.[/quote]

"Retard" worked fine until it didn't. Same with "negro," "homo," or "tranny."  Do you still use those terms?

Language changes with the times. People are striving to be better when it comes to our language. Deal with it, "I refuse to make a very simple change to my language to make others feel more comfortable" is a bad hill to die on.   [/quote]

Look at the frantic, fatalistic, sensationalism with this post. Yeah, “homeless” is really right up the there with the n-word. Oy vey.

At the end of the day, liberal speech police are no better than the hard right wing folks they loath. There is a sharing of the authoritarian mind set. Only liberals enjoy using social media shame to bash others into forcefully accepting the newest lexicon.

Like all the fking pronouns. If you don’t say “They” if a man or woman announces they are non-binary or whatever. It’s like a monty python sketch come to life.

Anyway,, I’m sorry these folks are “experiencing homelessness”, but I’m also mad they sht all over the basement level of the rental building I own in dc. I hope moderates win in the next elections and actually start caring about the tax paying base this city needs to open up more dog parks and sht.[/quote]
Spoken like a true slumlord.[/quote]

Not really, comrade. Unlike a slum lord I care about my tenants not having to walk in human excrement when they arrive to work.[/quote]
