Thank you! I get so sick of repeating these same things over and over and over. Especially when people don’t seem to give a shit.
This is what I don’t get. The NIMBYs bitch and moan about homeless people ruining their property values or whatever tf, but then they resist every. single. thing. that would make any progress in making the “problem” manageable. That’s because it’s about power and division, not about property values and “clean streets.” So they either need to start getting on board with a real solution to help people, or just admit it’s about class war and nothing else.
They can’t even stand car campers and RVs who park out of the way and mind their own business and often pay for spots. I’ve had cops come in the dead of night to get me to move my car off of a turn out on a two lane road in the middle of nowhere. I must have been ruining the view for…no one.
I think a significant part of it is wanting to distance themselves from homeless people. If they’re all meth addicts and schizophrenics, they aren’t like us. That makes you feel better about not helping, and further from being homeless yourself.
