Would you rather spend money on?

[msc545]

Anti-homeless architecture (keeps them from sleeping comfortably in public)

Homeless housing (give them a place of their own to sleep)

Housing. but not easily solved... land, contracts, getting it built, managing it, processes to get people on their feet, etc..

Also, storage so that they can maintain supplies. some people don't want to be in housing.

and we know from when Xi visited Newsome, anything can be done if we want.

Also, change immigration policy, zoning requirements, property taxation, etc. that all put upward pressure on housing costs and downward pressure on wages.

Homeless housing. The first option just moves the problem. The second solves it.

Thank you for MHO!

Anti homeless architecture. I would hire more poli e and let them do their jobs.

You must be really angry. You always seem to come down firmly on the side of cruelty. Do you happen to know why that is?

[exitseven]

You claim to know psychology, you tell me.

[msc545]

I don't claim to know it - I do know it. I was hoping you would tell me why it is you always favor cruelty.

@msc545 We have gotten into a bad habit in this country where people just want to get a check from the government. There were no tent cities allowed in the 80s. The cops would chase them away and eventually they would either get a job or die, Either way they would not be a problem.
I spent my whole like working hard , trying to get ahead, raising my own kids, paying taxes and putting my own kids through college. I filled out all the FAFSA forms and got zero help. I took out a home equity loan to pay for college. I don't mind paying for my own kids but it pisses me off to pay for everyone else;s kids. Having Biden print money by the trillion to give to illegal aliens, deadbeat students and drug addicts is a slap in the face,. Every citizen in this country should be outraged.

[msc545]

So this is the explanation as to why you favor cruelty?

[exitseven]

@msc545 I favor personal responsibility. People used to have to be responsible for their own circumstances. Last week a guy unloaded a clip at the cops during a traffic stop. The police returned fire and killed him. The fake news televised his family telling us that he was a good boy and it was the cops that were responsible for stopping him in the first place. Next I expect them to blame Trump for it.

[msc545]

It seems to be ok with you when the cops kill someone, but not the inverse.

@msc545 if the bad guy shoots first I have no problem with it. One less dirtbag.

[msc545]

What if he has no weapon?

[exitseven]

How can he shoot first if he has no weapon. ?

[msc545]

The cop has a weapon. The bad guy does not

[exitseven]

This, guy fired 11 rounds at the cops before they returned fire. The fake news and the guy's family wants everyone to think he was targeted because he was black.. that was not r the case

[msc545]

What guy are you talking about here? Somebody you made up in your mind?

[exitseven]

@msc545 This is what happens when you get your news from CNN. Last week the Chicago cops made a traffic stop. The driver would not unlock his door and refused to comply with police. Then has started shooting. He got off 11 rounds before the cops returned fire. They killed the guy.
The fake news forgot to mention the fact that he shot first when they reported tht he was shot and killed by police. The family and their attorney claim that it is the police fault because they should not have stopped him.

[msc545]

Why are you talking about this here?

[msc545]

The original question was would you rather spend your money on housing for the homeless or on architecture that would keep them from sleeping in public places. It had nothing to do with anybody getting shot.

[exitseven]

@msc545 I am talking about people taking responsibility for their circumstances. If you take illegal drugs you will end up on the street. If you shoot at the cops you will get dead. It is not the fault of the police.

[msc545]

Some people are literally unable to "take responsibility" for a variety of reasons. You seem unable to comprehend this.

[exitseven]

You would be surprised at how fast they straighten up if the government stops treating them like victims.
