Whenever you see "bipartisan" you know you're about to read some demonic shit.
"Clear" is such fucking bullshit language. They don't magically disappear. They're just moved somewhere else.
It is borderline genocidal language. The ground talking about "clearing" the homeless like they were garbage to be disposed of are all wearing spiritual swastika armbands.
America is a one party state with the illusion of choice. It's pepsi vs coke, both are still soda.
Yeah, "rare"
Right, and if it were any more underdone and bloody they'd have to call it raw!
(PS the image is just Statler and Waldorf, the comment and blurred out palette makes this look a lot more threatening than Muppets...)
😌
'Cause I'm proud to be an American, Where at least the poor ain't free!
Holy shit lmao margbar America
Harm reduction 
"rare"
the best pod has like three episodes on this garbage
Episode 85: Incitement Against the Homeless (Part I) - The Infestation Rhetoric of Local News
Episode 173: How to Sell Police Crackdowns on Homeless People to Liberals
From the article: "They begged the justices to let them remove people from their streets without running afoul of court rulings that have protected the civil rights of homeless individuals."
My biggest rival in activism for homeless people was a city council member with a bernie sanders complex. Theyre all the same.
we need an unemployed league. have them march on Washington again.
Phil Ochs yodels in my head every time I see something like this.
Dozens of leaders have asked the Supreme Court
amateur hour. send the justices on expensive trips like Harlan Crow does

They just want the legal right to kick people off public land. This doesn’t solve the underlying problem of homelessness, it will just force them into shelters against their will or worse into jail.
The real issue is that most homeless have underlying mental health problems along with drug habits to cope. Most homeless don’t want to be forced to live in shelters because the strict no drug policy. They just want to be left alone and not forced into the system.
No government program actually helps address their actual issues, it just hides them from public view and forces them to follow someone else’s rules.
The real problem is that this will be used against people who live in their cars as they will have no legal place to live. That said, I understand that there is a huge problem with people living out of RV’s dumping sewage in the street or in storm drains.
The solution is really to offer people a place to live, camp, park their cars/RV’s thats outside the city. They need to offer free mental health services along with work opportunities so those who want to be part of society can get it on their feet.
Instead, they are using the power of the law to make it illegal to he homeless.
You know we could just give them homes
It’s right there in the word
No, no don't you see. Its a complicated and nuanced issue! Its not as simple as just giving homeless people homes, how would that solve anything? 
Property value
The first step in any addiction/recovery/mental health treatment program is getting someone stable housing. The root cause of homelessness, and the recent spike in it, is excessively high housing costs
This. I hate how libs and chuds hand wave homelessness as "oh it's addiction" or "oh it's because they're cRaZy" when the elephant in the room is literal housing being unaffordable.
The real issue is that most homeless have underlying mental health problems
This is just not true, most homeless people do not have mental health issues.
along with drug habits to cope
Most of the homeless people with drug addictions, got those addictions because they were homeless. And there are still homeless people with neither issue, obviously.
The solution is really to offer people a place to live, camp, park their cars/RV’s thats outside the city.
No, it's to give them houses for fucks sake. There are 25 empty houses per homeless person in this god forsaken country.
Thank you! I get so sick of repeating these same things over and over and over. Especially when people don't seem to give a shit.
This is what I don't get. The NIMBYs bitch and moan about homeless people ruining their property values or whatever tf, but then they resist every. single. thing. that would make any progress in making the "problem" manageable. That's because it's about power and division, not about property values and "clean streets." So they either need to start getting on board with a real solution to help people, or just admit it's about class war and nothing else.
They can't even stand car campers and RVs who park out of the way and mind their own business and often pay for spots. I've had cops come in the dead of night to get me to move my car off of a turn out on a two lane road in the middle of nowhere. I must have been ruining the view for...no one.
I think a significant part of it is wanting to distance themselves from homeless people. If they're all meth addicts and schizophrenics, they aren't like us. That makes you feel better about not helping, and further from being homeless yourself.
