The free housing does nothing to cure the drug addiction.
“The Progressive Approach To Homelessness....”
Because it’s worked so well in Portland, Seattle, LA and SF.
$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$
The lefts answer to everything. Out of all that $$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$ only $$ goes where it should and the rest lines the pockets of the left.
I used to believe governments enabled homelessness by creating incentives for people to be homeless, but it’s really much more sinister than that. Government is actually addressing homelessness by making people dependent on the government for food and shelter.
One thing I learned, as part of the Portland, Oregon Census2000 team, was that the city’s and county’s ‘homeless’, were they were folks/veterans who did not want nor trust any of the politicians or their dirty money.
They saw the politicians as users of them, for their own resumes, nothing more. They knrw if they wemt to “their politicians’ greener acres’”, they would ne inder their control, and if they did anything otherwise, they’d be back ‘out there to start over’.
I sure makes libs feel good about their passive aggressive enabling ways.. and gives them a hack job to distract them from their rampant cognitive dissonance.
Doesn’t this author know that “homeless” has been declared taboo? Now it’s “the un-housed”.
Our local infobabes think it’s so cool they just can’t stop saying it.
The way to look at these programs is with cold accounting.
Where did the cash go?
It turns out the construction required payments to developers, architects, lawyers, general contractors and subcontractors etc.
They won.
All they had to do was give a “little taste” to their politician “friends”.
Unaccountable bureaucrats (socialists) are never held to account.
Democrats make horrible government
Nice campsites along the shores of Lake Monona
Manhattan Contrarian Ping
Progressives = democrats = communists. Peas in a pod.
you could blast holes in the side of a mountain and make caves in which these people could live in, they just want to be out of the wind and the rain, while they do their drugs and suffer their own multiple psychosis.
all while someone else worry's about what to feed them and are they cold?
And instead of threatening American citizens with F-16's and nukes, send the F-16s on search and destroy missions on the Mexican drug cartel operations.
Why is the culture of “The ‘Do What Feels Good’ Culture” concerned with Homelessness? Aren’t the homeless just doing what feels good?
In the 90s, the Clinton HUD admin sued the city I lived in and forced them to provide 23 single family homes for Section 8 housing. The city erupted in protest but to no avail. City leaders folded to charges of racism. In just a few years, the HUD owned, Section 8 homes were reduced to derelict buildings and slated for demolition.
I lived in Madison through the 60s when the “progressives” elbowed into the city council and imported poor families with loads of Fatherless children from the deep south to seed the town to justify their instant welfare programs.
Madison went from a wonderful place to live to the shit hole it has become, aided and abetted by the radicalization of the University of Wisconsin.
I have no desire to ever visit that cess pool of liberal failure ever again. To quote one of my favorite electrical engineering maxims, “sometimes, the only solution to a bad design is a decent burial”!
