I see so much litter along the roads. Why don’t they pay the homeless to pick it up?

Don't cry to us about the homeless problem if you are voting for people who want to get rid of all of our social safety networks. Just wait until all the elder care facilities shut down because medicaid and medicare are gone. Wave to grandma as you drive by her on the street.

Better yet, why don’t you open your doors to the local homeless? Allow them to live with you and your family.
+100
DC is filled with thousands of HHI progressives with opulent homes, most of which have at least one (or more) unused room that could easily provide housing to a person experiencing homelessness.
And yet, this doesn't happen. Despite these same people constantly crowing about the homeless having no where to go. The solution is right there in their spare rooms. But they can't figure it out.
It's like they don't understand what being a progressive means.
NP: So you think inviting homeless people into your house would actually solve the problems the homeless are facing? As if the only problem they need address is a bed to sleep in? If you want to have a voice in solving real problems, be helpful and get involved; don't post dribble like this.

It's for their own good. And for ours too.
There's an excellent video on the subject. It's an hour long, and it's called "Seattle Is Dying". It's on YouTube.
I know the GOP is currently running away from Ronald Wilson Reagan’s legacy, but I did not know that y’all now consider the late POTUS a liberal. Interesting.
The ACLU claims that shutting down the institutions is one of its greatest achievements. It was the left and right acting together that created the current situation. I understand the issues with the institutions but am not sure that the status quo is an improvement. It is cruel. San Francisco is moving back to involuntary commitment.
This. There’s more than enough blame to go around, and we must do better. The solutions will likely have something for everyone to dislike: more spending, more involuntary commitment, more enforcement of vagrancy laws.

Could they take care of 20th outside the Peace Corp building next? A new encampment has sprung up.

Can you share more information on this? Our Council pretty much tries to do everything the San Francisco way.
