some of which can prove their identity,” Kushel told KTLA. “A lot of harm can come from sweeps, and ultimately, if you don’t offer people a real outcome, they’re just going to have to move someplace else because they can’t dematerialize; they will show up someplace else.” (3/3)
There’s always going to be naysayers. A lot of this comes from the testimony of those who were asked to move—almost never trustworthy. The status quo is not acceptable. California is putting in the work to build out shelters and medical/social services. If addicts don’t want to make use of this…
So you shouldn't listen to the people it's actually happening to. Got it. Super useful.
Exactly. “Man, they took all my stuff man. I had some much stuff in there man. All kinds of great stuff I was going to sell man. Man they better give me some money for all my shit they took.”
that's just making fun of the hobos that earlier you were supposed to feel sorry for
That’s not making fun. That is what they are like.
What is with you? Have you never met any people who ran out of rent money? Did you read any of the quote up there? What part of "People need affordable housing and trashing their medicines and documents is a problem" is not getting through to you? I'm not pro-encampment, I'm anti-screwing people. 🙄
Beds are not the problem. Festering mental illness and addiction are the problems and you would tolerate the status quo indefinitely. All that’s being thrown away is piles and piles of contaminated trash. They can take their medicines and documents and anything valuable to them. Social workers help
How the fuck do you think that I'm in any way tolerating the status quo? You are arguing against a non-existent position. How about get on with your life and quit yapping at me with your obtuse bullshit. Good luck gaining more understanding of the world.
