Is that a new rank us civilians are not familiar with?  I've been traveling to SF a lot lately and am amazed on how the local business put up with the homeless. Made the mistake of walking down Mission St. south of 5th. The smell of urine on the sidewalks was unbearable.

Vagrants, not homeless. Many of those people refuse housing, when offered. Some of them have families back in East Bumf*ck, where they came from, that would take them back, if they would go. Choosing to be an "urban outdoorsman" does not make you part of the disadvantaged class. It makes you a stupid jerk.

The root of the problem is mental illness in many cases. But we no longer have the institutions for them, so that's that. ---------------------- Let's Go Brandon! | |||

In many locales, mental illness is certainly a root cause. Schizophrenic people living on the street break my heart. It varies by locale. In Portland, San Francisco, and Las Vegas it's often a choice to be a vagrant and choose to prioritize drugs and freedom over housing. I have learned this from catering to their lifestyles, as an ER nurse. Bruce "The designer of the gun had clearly not been instructed to beat about the bush. 'Make it evil,' he'd been told.

No, but there are only a select few cats that show up outside when I feed them. They pretty much eat all I put out, too. flashguy Texan by choice, not accident of birth | |||

So true. Virtual all of them are from east of the rockies.
A revealing look at how impotent and feckless the Chamber of Commerce is compared to the 'homeless' advocate groups are in city government. Any store that dares to push back feels the wrath of the sympathizers while their minions will descend upon their front doors in protest, meanwhile endless streams of PR and sympathetic articles are pumped-out demonizing said business online and in neighborhood rags. Yeah...bizarro world. 5th & Mission, you staying at the Intercontinental? Anywhere around that Mall and Market St is a no-go zone for me, that's where you take your kids and explain if they don't do their homework or do drugs, they'll end up like all the losers out there. | |||

The SPCA had to fire its security robot because libtards complained, and homeless are the core of the demoRAT base. __Phase plasma rifle in the 40-watt range__ | |||

Now that it's cold, we've got the damn homeless hanging out at the Portland Airport (PDX). They are scattered all over the baggage claim area. I had the luxury of having to step over them last weekend. One got into a fight with a cop yesterday. http://koin.com/2017/12/29/arr...le-running-from-pdx/ Freaking wonderful. ---------------------- Let's Go Brandon! | |||

Around here, the homeless are told they are trespassing, and to move along. Two days later,they are warned again. A week later, the corrections bureau brings a van full of inmates and a dumpster, and throws EVERYTHING away to include all tents and worldy possessions. It's a beautiful sight. Mr homeless comes back to "his" camp and finds everything gone, and the ground beautifully raked where his tent once stood. Oops. Should have heeded those warnings. ______________________________________________________ Often times a very small man can cast a very large shadow | |||

Oddly enough, these sweeps may soon be a thing of the past. They already are in some areas. Have a look at Martin v. City & County of Honolulu. The outcome is that the disposal of homeless property violated two rights under the U.S. Constitution: the right against unreasonable seizures of property under the Fourth Amendment, and the right against deprivation of property without due process of the law under the Fourteenth Amendment. I disagree with this outcome, seems like a bunch of crap, but the courts have spoken. ---------------------- Let's Go Brandon! | |||

Meanwhile in Texas....... A federal judge has cleared the way for Houston city officials to enforce an ordinance that prohibits homeless people from setting up tents and temporary living quarters in public places. U.S. District Judge Kenneth Hoyt, who had blocked enforcement of the law while a civil lawsuit is pending in his court, lifted his temporary restraining order Thursday and denied a request for a preliminary injunction.
