Welcome to c/news! Please read the Hexbear Code of Conduct and remember... we're all comrades here.
Rules:
-- PLEASE KEEP POST TITLES INFORMATIVE --
-- Overly editorialized titles, particularly if they link to opinion pieces, may get your post removed. --
-- All posts must include a link to their source. Screenshots are fine IF you include the link in the post body. --
-- If you are citing a twitter post as news please include not just the twitter.com in your links but also nitter.net (or another Nitter instance). There is also a Firefox extension that can redirect Twitter links to a Nitter instance: https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/libredirect/ or archive them as you would any other reactionary source using e.g. https://archive.today . Twitter screenshots still need to be sourced or they will be removed --
-- Mass tagging comm moderators across multiple posts like a broken markov chain bot will result in a comm ban--
-- Repeated consecutive posting of reactionary sources, fake news, misleading / outdated news, false alarms over ghoul deaths, and/or shitposts will result in a comm ban.--
-- Neglecting to use content warnings or NSFW when dealing with disturbing content will be removed until in compliance. Users who are consecutively reported due to failing to use content warnings or NSFW tags when commenting on or posting disturbing content will result in the user being banned. --
-- Using April 1st as an excuse to post fake headlines, like the resurrection of Kissinger while he is still fortunately dead, will result in the poster being thrown in the gamer gulag and be sentenced to play and beat trashy mobile games like 'Raid: Shadow Legends' in order to be rehabilitated back into general society. --

No money will be spent to move people. If the homeless do not move they will be arrested and have their belongings thrown out. San Francisco has been doing this already.
Paying people to patrol and enforce this costs money, probably more than solving the problem
Terrorizing people is cheap. They've already committed to paying for tons of cops, this is just utilizing them for this purpose.
Besides even if it was more expensive it doesn't matter. This is not a find the cheapest solution machine where cheapest one wins. This has a very real and practical benefit which is terrorizing those at the bottom and scaring those at risk of hitting that bottom into allowing harsher forms of exploitation of themselves, of disciplining them with the fear of seeing that oppression into keeping their heads down. It's impossible for capital to put a price on subjugating and intimidating the proles into compliance and submission. Certainly not when the costs are not born directly by the bourgeoisie anyways but by the state financed off the back of imperialism.
Yes having homeless people to herd around helps to remind all the homeowners why they always vote for the higher police budget
Copagandra at its finest.
You have no idea how police budgets work then. Millions are spent annually per municipality on police activities to disrupt homeless encampments.
I'll stick with my original statement.
No money will be used to move people.
Of course lots of money will be spent to increase Police budgets.
right tens of thousands of cops cost 0$ a day, they all work on a volunteer basis just to help the community!!!
