I pity you. People like you don’t deserve pity but I pity you regardless.
How DARE people not respect others' right to live in hell without resources of any kind!
Leaving them to play fortnite in ditches isn't better than actually trying to do anything, you just think it is because then they aren't your responsibility.
Do you have any idea how many homeless die daily in those encampments? No clean water, no medical care, violence.
And while 90-95% are just trying to survive, the last 5-10% are often violent, and brutalize the others.
If you want to designate zones and have some form of law enforcement around to deal with the bad ones, great, but your argument is to put them in a big pot, with some truly violent ones, and just pretend everything is OK.
Where is your pity? Oh, it's not your problem, you're blessing them with their freedom to suffer out of your sight.
Despite your wacky description of how you imagine being unhoused...
I'm pretty sure people want to stay where they're living rather than being violently attacked, evicted, and disappeared.
They want to stay in their dirty ditch rather than: https://kdow.biz/news/national/more-shelter-beds-and-a-crackdown-on-tents-mean-fewer-homeless-encampments-in-sa/c5dad968b8fafaab83b51433a204c9ea
I'm glad you know they would rather stay in filth than actually have a clean, private space.
You're not from California, I'm fairly sure you're not American either.
I am a Californian, and am not able to read your linked source because there is no option out of their cookie settings.
Also those shelters have been closing during the middle of the day "because of high heat" for the last month here in San Diego. They also aren't what I would consider to be remotely "clean."
Housing first is the way to go, we have 50 years of various studies that prove this. Shelters pretty much only help the people that own them.
Edit: I also find your source to be suspect. It seems to be an AM radio broadcasts website. That pretty much narrows down what kind of political brain rot they have, and since conservatives historically don't like facts and science, I can safely assume that your source is full of just as much shit as you are.
'I can ignore everything you say because broudcasting on AM means they're ontological evil!'
Do you not understand that you're every bit as crazy as the maga loons when you speak like that?
Hey bro you should probably respond to that other guy, he's making you look like an idiot who doesn't know what hes talking about.
