I feel like orwellian is the wrong term. Isn't that geared more towards the thought police and how you feel about the government's politics? Not if you're homeless or not?
I don't think OP meant anything by his post. California's policies are lax. Regardless if you think they're deserving of consideration or not, it's miserable to have a huge homeless population living next to your house. People may pretend its not real but homeless areas tend towards drugs and unsanitary conditions and it's not a great place to raise a family.
- wpietri 5y agoThe homeless are also people who live somewhere, just not in houses. "Lax" implies that treating them harshly would be better. But fining and jailing them isn't going to make them more able to get a place to live. Aggressive anti-homeless policies just hide the suffering from the well off.
