You know, I never see anyone talking about doing anything like this when people with homes do drugs or have mental illness. How is every single crime automatically chalked up to “the homeless.” There’s a million housed and perfectly mentally stable people in California stealing catalytic converters, among other things. But the minute that or retail theft or violent crime comes up, it never fails that it’s attributed only to people who can’t pay rent.
I might agree with you on the catalytic converters but who do you think is stealing mail out of mailboxes, who’s leaving dirty needles in our parks, who’s taking over our sidewalls and other public spaces with tents and other junk ? All of us deserve better than this, including them.
