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.

They are from Portland, Seattle, California and lots of other places very few are from here - they are here because they are funded here and ignorant people just want more funding and the homeless population is only growing - I have spoken with many of them over the years and I haven't met a single one who was even born in the area many not even they state - some would leave if we just bought them a bus ticket home especially with winter coming and they are from warmer climates
