Hard to see how the net impact of this lawsuit is going to be anything other than more state violence directed at homeless people.

- the_optimist 5y agoPerhaps it’s hard for you to envision. You may not have seen this before. It has not always been the case that losing your way in life consigns you to living under a tarp on the overpass, while the $1B borrowed by the city to care for you disappears to cronies. Let me paint a picture of a different world where people engage with their local organizations, neighbors, and their colleagues to provide and care for those who are unable to care for themselves.

From what I've read, "losing your way in life" usually resulted in starvation and death. Maybe if you're lucky you get drafted into war, and extra lucky you come back alive and intact. Seems like it's only been the last hundred years or so that we've made any real progress here.
