Tallahassee suffered for a long time with a homeless shelter downtown. The crime rate was horrendous. Finally, the businesses convinced the city to move it. They moved it to a heavily student area because students don’t vote. I know two university cops and they say the predation on students by the homeless, which never used to happen, is now a daily occurrence. Wherever they are, the homeless disrupt business and civic life. Calling them “homeless” is a nice misnomer. They are mentally ill people. Like a drowning man, they attempt to use and destroy any who attempt to help them.
I think wind farms and all the other dem schemes should be carried out near dem homes. Make them walk the walk.
It is a drug and crime problem.
Same for Seattle, Portland Oregon, Baltimore, Detroit, Camden NJ, and all the other places.
if it was simply a matter of money, I would contribute to a crowdsource for buying the property next to Nancy’s and moving the homeless there. I’d bet if that could happen with enough money - nationwide, they’d hit their goal in no time.
Seems I can’t hardly go out to the stores and gas stations without someone hitting me up for some $$. Some even attach a dollar amount to their requests. Sick of it— GTHOH. Get a job.
People who live in tents are not homeless. they are squatters
Bums are a problem in the so called Free World. Hitler got rid of the heroin problem. And of course Hitler got rid of lots of other problems. The more benefits are given to the bums, the more bums there will be. The answer appears to be to give as few benefits as possible and arrest and jail the bums to get them to leave the area as soon as they possibly can.
If I were King, the SF "Homeless" would be housed in tents on the front lawns of the SF Liberal Ruling Elite, and I wold take their front doors so the bums had bathroom access.
What moron thought relocating them to the Embarcadero was a good idea. Better to relocate them outside the gates of Pelosi's walled Napa Valley estate first.
I want some of that equality Nancy hordes for herself.
World-Class hypocrisy - bump for later....
“NIMBY” doesn’t seem to quite cover the attitude here. We need a new word. Something combining “NIMBY” and “chutzpah.”
Among the many well known racists who opposed the school were Julia Child ("bon appetite",indeed) and Laurence Tribe (who never quite made it to SCOTUS).
It's fun reading...unless you have a full stomach.
Soccer moms in Olathe Kansas are doing the same.
The answer here is simple, we just need a new law regarding vagrants and homeless:
All vagrants and Homeless persons shall be entitled to camp within 500 feet of ANY property owned, leased, rented or occupied by ANY Public Employee, Public Servant, Public Official or Judicial Officer anywhere in the State of California.
“homeless Navigation Center”
Someone deserves a gold star for that euphemism!
While visiting San Francisco years ago, I passed a man on Market Street with the most terrifyingly crazy eyes I’ve ever seen.
He was holding a 6 pack of beer.
One should never, ever make eye contact. They consider that threatening.
He proceeded to follow me, hurling full cans of beer at me.
I broke into a run. He chased me into a bookstore, yanking books off the shelves & throwing them around.
Two store clerks chased him out & locked the door, with me safe inside, until he wandered off.
They told me this was a regular occurance & cops couldn’t do anything.
They said the guy sometimes brandished a knife, but the cops never caught him doing that. So, supposedly he wasn’t a danger to anybody & couldn’t be locked up.
Baghdad by the Bay Rich Folk up in arms over homeless shelter to be built in prime location.
No film coverage at 11.. but we got drivebys dropping like flies in the East Bay.. heck the whole Bay..
