    Sounds like a lame excuse for not doing the work. Why nobody requests it from their elected reps and city councils? Why nobody demands housing for homeless to be build in their neighborhood? Did you @SSJMarx petition your mayor to build something in your town?

        So you reap the benefit of living in town that’s presumably not overrun with visible homeless, but you seem fit to give advice to blue towns where I can’t take my son to the park because of naked hobos running after us. That’s not random example. This shit happens all the time.

            You must be one of those people that climb mountains with no ropes. Good for you- doesn’t work for everyone else. Especially women and children.

                    Hey I’m all for building more affordable housing. I’m just pointing your that nothing official has been stopping this solution for decades, but nothing has been done to curb the problem. Articles like this don’t address the reality of the situation. Articles like this is just a virtue signaling for the voter base. Everybody will node their little heads and move on with their day. The same people get elected and then … nothing. Me and 90 percent of poor housed city dwellers will continue to suffer the consequences. Mark my word this is the issue that might turn blue city cores into red zones. Honestly Dems are just so lucky that Republicans screwed up with abortion rights otherwise they wouldn’t have my votes either.
