“There still aren’t enough homeless people. We can keep going.”
What's terribly sad about that is we're genuinely reaching crisis levels in some cities. These people need housing *with functioning plumbing stat.
I don't understand people's hesitance to house them because it's like... all you people do is complain about them existing and wanting them "out of your downtown." Well shit, it's my downtown too and their downtown as well and all I want is for them to be housed, and holy shit that actually solves your whole fucking complaint because now they're not in "your" downtown.
The amount of human feces that has to be cleaned daily in some cities is genuinely approaching crisis levels. It's literally a public health emergency. It absolutely can get to the level where enough fecal matter is in a general area that large amounts of bacteria will be floating in the air, and people can end up getting ill from food that this bacteria has landed on. No direct contact with feces needed, once it has reached that level. We don't want it to reach that level.
There's my rant about how absolutely fucked the homeless situation is, because its inhumane and should be classified as "cruel and unusual punishment" in my opinion.
