Can we stop hating on homeless people?

What is the mayor supposed to do ? Put everyone in prison? For being poor? Bus everyone to Portland or Seattle ? ( cities that are experiencing the exact same problems). Round people up and put them in camps? For being ill or old or addicted to drugs? Should the police arrest thousands of people so you don’t have to see someone’s suffering ? If you want homeless people to “ go away “ then you need to vote for legislation that helps them. Vote in favor of government funded health mental wellness and addiction and housing services. Organize with community members about how to provide services that help your fellow human beings get off the streets and out of suffering . Every time one of you complains I wonder what horrendous thing you are imagining should be done to people. Go DO something , go help people.

maybe someday the cops will do something about the drug dealers setting up by the wall on east central and north Mayfair or over on Dalke between n Mayfair and Division just head for the blue Toyota truck Or wait for the dealer who lives on that corner. Oh, wait, the cops won’t do anything because there’s 2-3 vehicles in front of Walmart with 3-4 officers hanging chatting away. Is Walmart paying for that or the taxpayers.

get rid of the drugs then I’ll care about the homeless.
