  1. Treatment of the houseless has in many ways barely changed. Police still conduct so-called "sweeps" of encampments, stealing and destroying what little the people there have (even though they're obligated by law to hold seized property for a certain amount of time) and sending the people scattering with nowhere else to go but another encampment, where the process is repeated. What good is our society if it is willing to treat its least powerful members so cruelly? How can we be so wealthy as a nation and yet turn our backs on so many living in poverty? Human beings are not "swept", dirt is. We need to stop treating our own neighbors so literally like dirt
