Ok, wow, 183 people in 2022. Consider me corrected. At least they aren’t giving them open bus tickets.
What's wrong with giving them open bus tickets that allow them to decide where they want to go?

Finland is part of the EU and has a national strategy. While migration is easier between member countries, it isn’t unrestricted. You have to live in an EU country for some time before qualifying for welfare there, which means poor people can’t easily shop for the best social welfare. Finland doesn’t put its homeless in institutions, just in semi assisted living situations. Homelessness is definitely a national probl…

Maybe it's because the friends i used to visit live in the tenderloin but to me San Franskidro tipped a decade ago. I live in the south side of Atlanta and there is constant gun crime, car theft, gang violence, etc. but to me that is wholely different than being harassed in a targeted manner on the streets for being in a perceived "class." There may be an occasional clash of culture in ATL for sure, but not an outrig…
No one in the streets in Atlanta. Because no one uses the streets in Atlanta outside a car. Atlanta has 930 violent crimes per 100k vs SF’s 715 or so. https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_United_States_cities... Atlanta is the ultimate out of sight out of mind city.

Density works but isn't it just kicking the can down the road until population growth and inflation drives prices up again?
Im on mobile, so much comments. Yes, but no. The root of the problem is that you cant build land and that's an impossible problem to solve. Supply solutions provide enough time window to think on demand solutions. It is possible, don't get paralized because you'll have a different set of problems in the future.
Trying so hard to preserve rundown two-story crap boxes built in the postwar era just because some folks think that’s what SF should look like isn’t a solution.

You're not going to find open-air downtown drug markets, public defecation and decriminalized theft in Mississippi or Arkansas. For that, you need to visit one of our progressive West Coast cities.
That's because Mississippi And Arkansas are too damned poor to support the homeless. They've pushed them all out to the West coast where people actually have pocket change to give them.

That’s stuff you only find in cities anyway. Virtually all American cities vote Democrat. This is simply a correlation.

Who was the last group that argued "states first!" over people's rights and lives? How did that go again?

Use the proper term, concentration camps. Y'all need some fences less they make their way back to civilisation. Some guards too. Once you've seen the costs y'all start debating attrition vs. euthanasia for these lost causes. Makes sense right? The losers of American capitalism have proven themselves unworthy to live along side us. No better than vermin. Extermination is the only humane act right? Fascism visibly puls…
I assume if you keep providing free drugs, you don't need fences, and the metaphorical irony of that is almost beautiful. I think for branding purposes, I'd try out the term "party camps", but yes, they are quite obviously concentration camps.
And if they're far enough away, no fences are needed.
