Of course it isn’t.
But 0bama would probable like to put them in group homes in uppity white neighborhoods.
Homelessness in the US—Courtesy of JFK’s Community Mental Health Act (1963).
The mentally ill are living under bridges and eating out of dumpsters but, by gad, they have their dignity.
Also, friends don’t let friends vote democrat.
This is happening more and more in NYC. It started as soon as Guiliani left office and has really increased under DeBlasio.
Liberal policies are biting us in the butt.
When did anyone start to suggest that there is some constitutional right to sleep and P**S and S$$^ anyplace in public?
We could discuss what we are doing to get homeless off the street, but, can’t we all agree that it’s not good for them or good for society for the homeless to be in the streets??
I recall a recent article, in which someone wrote that San Francisco reeks of urine in many parts of the city.
Do liberals really think it’s compassionate to allow people to live in the streets????
It is building 500 new single-room-occupancy residences with full services for street people
______________________________________________
they don’t need single rooms...put them in dormitories..
Ponder this. Obama is only mentioned in the article twice. One might say innocuously matter-of-fact. So how does this “compassion” thing fit into the political horizon?
Maybe, just maybe, bleeding heart liberals are beginning to think the Hildebeast will fall and someone not Democrat will win in 2016. Egad! Possibly even Trump?
If so, even if Trump doesn’t win, they need to prep the PC bleeding heart PC battlefield with words familiar to RINOS (i.e., “compassion” or “have a heart” and the like) in case the Dark Side (GOP establishment) wins out.
In short, they’re telegraphing that they’re gonna get back on that Crazy assed mental / Homeless bandwagon the minute their guy doesn’t win.
But San Francisco is a Liberal city. Liberals have the answers to homelessness!
States should be responsible for rounding them up and placing them in “state run” (not private), clean safe rehab institutions. Problem solved.
Nothing like paying obscene prices due to rent control just to get that genuine urine smell waft through your windows.
The hobos peed on a metal lamppost and rusted it and it fell over on a car?
Put those guys to work!
“It will cost us $500,000 to drop this bridge or we can have Willy The Wino come over and pee on it for a joint.”
First, to the homeless give them two choices. Get your act together, or go live someplace where you can be a nuisance and a bum.
To those who want a job, want a home, want to be responsible citizens, give them greyhound tickets to middle America and other economic sustainable areas. They can be paid for by churches like they do in Texas.
When they get there, they can check into a Christian mission or salvation army base that will have al-anon, a clinic maybe, a clothing deposit, hot meals and other services they can take advantage of, maybe even a van that will drop them off at Labor Ready or some other place to work and get some spending money for clothes and stuff.
They can then apply for jobs there at McDs, Wal-mart or someplace that will hire them and climb up the ladder.
TOO THE REST, THE ONES WHO ARE UNEMPLOYABLE OR DON'T GIVE A S**T, SEND THEM TO CALIFORNIA, OREGON, WASHINGTON, MAINE MICHIGAN OR MASSACHUSETTS.
They love them there, they can have them. They can sleep outside, smoke pot, have sex, do not work and let the liberal elite and the big fat government take care of them till they OD and die or god willing wake up.
Even better still, buy them a plane ticket to Europe. They love them there even more. Again, churches and private charities can foot the bill.
We save taxes, we help the needy (really truly needy) we clear the streets of riff raff and criminals, we have lower crime, lower unemployment, the nation does better.
Again, not the best solution but one that works. Like I said on another article on my blog, Greyhound therapy works. Works wonders. I know because I bought people greyhound tickets to get out of Maine and Mass and go to Kansas and Nebraska and Texas. Works wonders.
BS!!! BS!! BS!! BS!! BS!! That is a big fat lie told by liberals to get more money for pet projects!!
It fell apart because of a lack of maintenence, because the money instead of going where its supposed to go, fixing infrastructure goes into the pockets of Bureaucrats!
I know this because in Portland maine when I was living there they tried that schtick and Jon Baldaccia wanted to encourage more money for the homeless (In reality more money for city hall and Augusta)and other pet projects by Democrats.
For urine to corrode a street light in that manner, it would take decades of that and no rain and it Rains in SF so there goes that.
Thought I should bring that up. Maybe I should write about it.
