There are only two ways for the homeless to stop being homeless; they get a somewhere to live or they die. Banning homeless camps accomplishes nothing but cruelty. Which of course is the point

The problem is that it really has to be addressed at the national level. Otherwise, places with better social services and less extreme weather (like the big cities on the west coast) get overwhelmed by more transient homeless than their systems can handle--and that's even without Texas or whoever shipping busloads more in..

'Look, there’s nowhere else to go': Inside California’s ~~crackdown~~ violent attack on ~~homeless camps~~ unhoused people.

I hate the term "crackdown". It implies that it's some kind of justified response. It's almost always used by hegemonic media to absolve the state of violence.

And it's just as bad to imply that they're attacking "camps" and not people. JFC.

This is a good example of how libs support fascism.
