@williamwelborn4555 I'd rather have my tax dollars spent on a centrally- located low rent high rise or two. Cheaper to heat and cool than a bunch of thin-walled individual units and would provide the working poor (that work in the city's service industry) a place to stay. At least a cheap, patrolled parking lot with public bathrooms for those living in their cars. Mandatory rehab or jail for the junkies.

This guy's dumb! Someone's freezing and you take their tent and tarp? When there's not enough beds for them in the shelters? You have to expand the shelters FIRST not " the committee's planning to" or else hand out blankets! Absolute t@rd. Having people freeze to death instead of burn isn't an improvement.

What's ethical about taking someone's tent when there's not even a bunk bed at the shelter available for them? There needs to be housing to sweep these guys into or the city's just hassling them and moving them from place to place. "Freeze now and the committee's going to look into making more housing" makes no sense.

Yeah, if only that spine had a BRAIN connected to it! If you "sweep" away people's tents and don't replace them, they're going to be MORE cold and start MORE fires to keep warm. Send him a memo that cardboard boxes are also flammable.

@falseprogress The conservative "solution" is harass the bums and offer them a bus ride to somewhere "blue", while the liberal "solution" is build a couple rainbow colored human doghouses per 1000 broke dudes, let them do all the drugs they want and hope they OD.. They're not thinking in realistic, practical terms.

This guy's talking nonsense. You can't "sweep" thousands of homeless into a couple hundred shed homes. And that complaint about "they could be doing drugs or crimes in the tents" is BS, because that could happen in a car, shed house, or subsidized apartment, too. His "solution" is to harass the homeless and hope they wander off and become someone else's problem.

This guy's extra dumb! Not even a tent for homeless females to hide from psychos in? Someone's freezing and you take their tent and tarp? When there's not enough beds for them in the shelters? You have to expand the shelters FIRST not " the committee's planning to" or else hand out blankets! Absolute t@rd. Having people freeze to death instead of burn isn't an improvement.

That'd work for the junkies that need to rehab, but not for the working poor that work in the city's service industries and live in their cars. The city needs to provide cheap, patrolled, public parking lots with restrooms.

Science?? How about basic human physiology. If it's below freezing and you take people's shelters they freeze to death. How's that better than burning? You have to build shelters FIRST before you ban tents. You need shelter beds to sweep the homeless into or you're just messing with them and moving them around.
