I'm listening to it for work right now. I wish some real radicals and advocates for the working class and unhoused got to make these arguments, the SG is leaving so many points on the table by trying to seem "reasonable" and agree with restrictions.

Hopefully Supreme Court will not legalize nimbyism and criminalize homelessness.

This could potentially be one of the worst rulings in America history handling horribly.

I don't get why they can't just give the homeless safe shelter. Literal prisons are more accomodating than what they do to the homeless. Just give people a safe little room and street homelessness would drastically shrink.

They'd rather use them for prison work.

Shelters tend to be safe enough, it's the homeless inside that are dangerous if one of the "bad ones" get in and ruin it for others. It's not uncommon for homeless people to include people who are violent, addicts, thieves or otherwise unstable mentally and looking to get in someone's face about it whether they be the staff or the other homeless people there.

You can thank Reagan for that.

For the GOP, yes.

Texas already fine homeless 500 dollars

House Bill 1925 would make camping in an unapproved public place a Class C misdemeanor, punishable by a fine of up to $500. The bill calls for law enforcement officers to redirect homeless people to available local resources such as shelters or nonprofit groups before or at the time they issue a citation.

that passed already

Fining them seems counter productive; they don't have money. I'm all for clearing out encampments, but there's gotta be somewhere for them to go. I'd like to see an increase in federal and state spending on shelters before enacting any law criminalizing sleeping on public property.

Well that's the thing, if you just throw 10 people into a room the odds that one is dangerous aren't very small. The lack of isolation is the problem.

People need housing, not just shelter. They need privacy, autonomy, space, and services. And it needs to be provided as a public good. That's the only and ultimate answer.

The whole thing is kind of a big catch 22, at least for the homeless population that this kind of stuff is targeting. I'd say the best solution would be the funding of forced institutionalization with extra focus on actual care. The biggest problem is systems like that tend to be rife with abuse, so it would take some real legwork to make sure they aren't just being shoved into a different kind of squalor.

It's super malicous because they moving homeless people to Blue States, then punishing Blue States for their mess. On top of that, they are artifically to hurt Blue State numbers with homeless, and migrants.

Yes. People who aren't economically viable are supposed to die off. And their deaths are supposed to serve as a warning of what happen can happen if people don't toe the line.

(And, no, that's not sarcasm. That's corporate endgame.)
