how do you dismantle homeless encampments without setting up a new place for them to go
Because building affordable housing is just too easy a solution. Gotta keep the homeless, well, homeless for the free labor.

Seriously though, building cheap and affordable housing has been proven to be a more effective solution than letting these people starve out in the streets and the whole "bootstrap" horseshit.

People just don't want poor people with mental illness and addiction in their neighborhood.

People can pretend they wouldn't have a problem with it are the first to buy more locks for their doora.

Well I wouldn’t expect there to literally be a mental institution smack in the middle of houses but it could still be in the neighborhood.

I was talking about affordable housing.

Even in Bumblefuck they don't want rental units that house people who use to live on the street......trust me on this, I spent some time in a tent before I could bootstrap.

Affordable housing doesn’t necessarily mean it’s going to have crackheads and mental patients. It’s just for people who are poor.

there's always going to be an element of drugs and mental health in homelessness, and not everyone can be saved. that doesn't mean that none of them are worth trying for. A large portion of homeless also are lgbtq members who often are kicked out of their house an an early age. or people who have never been medicated. not everyone on the street is an unredeemable criminal. in fact, most are not. people just love to use the worst of them lot to paint them all the same

Can we be honest and say alot of homeless are not that?

I wish I was wrong, but bruh......I was there back in the summer of 05, I seent it firsthand.

And I am not saying, please stress this, I am not saying the homeless shouldn't have affordable housing, I am not saying they shouldn't be stuck with the option of a tent or a shelter with bedbugs......because that is why they choose the streets.


I'm just saying the cynical reasons....that people do not want poor people in their neighborhoods.........NIMBY is a real thing.

Affordable housing isn’t even really for the homeless. It’s for people who have low income jobs who can’t afford anywhere else.

Straight up homeless means no money at all

Not always, you'd be surprised how many homeless people do have jobs, they just don't make enough to afford everything you need in 2024 to keep and apply for jobs along with housing in certain areas. I'm not saying it's the majority but it's a decent percentage last I remember and pretty harrowing since the prevailing idea of homeless people are jobless beggers

Yeah that’s why when I said homeless people I only mentioned the no money part, not the job part. I know some homeless people actually do have jobs but still can’t afford housing which is beyond insane in of itself.

Sadly it's the mark of a corporate dystopia where big corporations are able to control wages with impunity, because large swaths of the American population have been convinced that unions are bad and do not help the working class.
