Keep going down the crazy road lefties. It is just waking more and more people up to their madness.

I was in Seattle in August. Pikes Market, the Waterfront, MoPop, touristy areas…super clean and no homeless. I felt safer than I do in downtown Houston. Funny how they don't allow homeless in certain areas.

---

most of the city is perfectly fine. it is just some specific areas where they allow things to get really crappy.

it does not help idiotic right wing media (and idiots on Texags) only emphasizes the bad parts. Which are absolutely bad, no doubt about it.

But the rest of the city and what not is fine, which they refuse to acknowledge.

You can spray paint a dog turd gold. It remains a dog turd.

The rest of the city is fine? Oh, you mean those public areas?

Uh huh.

They may have the state right to do so really stupid and reckless.

Homelessness is a behavior choice, not an immutable characteristic or fundamental belief. I guess they could consider it a religious practice, or political belief system, and then suggest that is why those who chose to be homeless could constitute a class, but that doesn't change that they are a collective public nuisance and burden as they tend to be net consumers of public services and non contributors, and it is by choice.

Morons gonna moron. Just when you think they can't get any more ridiculous …. they do.

Left untreated cancer often metastasizes.

It's legalized money laundering. Leftists can't give up their side hustles.

Legally, how can they give the middle finger to SCOTUS?

That's... Not what they're doing.

SCOTUS said disparate impact on the homeless does not preclude cities and towns from enforcing bans on things like sleeping in public or camping in public areas. This creates a completely separate legal preclusion by declaring that homeless people in Washington have the right to be homeless and live in public spaces. According to the 10th Amendment, that's Washington's prerogative.

Thanks for the help.

Advertise the new WA bill all over Texas. Maybe we can see caravans of homeless on their way to WA.

"Under the proposed bill, public property where homeless individuals may establish encampments includes ... public building interiors ..."

How much do you think it would take to pay a few dozen homeless to establish an encampment in the Rep's public office space?

Dems continue being willing to violate EVERYONE ELSE'S RIGHTS for the benefit of the loser homeless, all the while UTTERLY ignoring all the bad laws Dems pass that make housing costs too high and unaffordable in Western Washington.
,,,…,,,…

Under the proposed bill, public property where homeless individuals may establish encampments includes parks, plazas, courtyards, parking lots, sidewalks, public building interiors and even "natural and wildlife areas," such as freeway shoulders and medians.

---

Nice, so those living in gated communities or HOAs that have private parks, doggie parks, children playgrounds, etc. are exempt.
All you poor people that can't afford living in these areas will be out of luck.
The Democratic Party leadership displaying another elitist bull**** giving a middle finger to the middle class and backbone of our nation.

I've got an idea about homelessness. Do you know what they ought to do? Change the name of it. It's not "homelessness", it's "houselessness". It's houses these people need. A home is an abstract idea, a home is a setting, it's a state of mind. These people need houses; physical, tangible structures. They need low-cost housing. But where are you going to put it? People don't want it near them. We've got something in this country, it's called NIMBY. N-I-M-B-Y; 'Not In My Backyard'! People don't want anything, any kind of social help located anywhere near them! You try to open up a halfway house, try to open up a drug or alcohol rehab center, try to do a homeless shelter somewhere, try to open up a little home for some ******ed people who want to work their way back into the community. People say "Not in my backyard!" People don't want anything near them. Especially if it might help somebody else. Part of that great American spirit of generosity we hear about. - George Carlin
