Where is the compassion for contributing members of society who have to deal with this on a daily basis?
I consider myself a progressive individual, but I won’t allow someone to damage my home or other property simply because they are mentally unwell. I won’t allow my child or wife to be harassed or watch them tip toe around feces and broken class because people can’t get their act together.
- dominotw 4y ago> Where is the compassion for contributing members of society Pretty sure compassion for top 1% of society isn't really top priority for the society. you can move easily if you want with all the resources you have at your disposal.
- hollywood_court 4y agoPeople want to live their lives without being harassed and without having their property damaged or their loved ones harmed.
- kelseyfrog 4y agoIf you had to choose between property or people, which would it be?
- hollywood_court 4y agoI would choose my family’s safety and well being over the life of a stranger every time.
- kelseyfrog 4y agoYou can just say property. No judgement here. Property rights form the basis of society.
- dominotw 4y agosure thats totally fair but There are literally thousands of places you can move to if thats really your priority. You are clearly prioritizing something else over safety to continue to live there.
- hollywood_court 4y agoYou're essentially saying "if you don't like it, leave." I hope you understand that it's attitudes like yours that are driving otherwise moderate people to join the GOP and become conservative voters. And you're placing the onus on the contributing members of society who just wish to be left alone. Rather than having the criminals correct or stop their behavior.
- dominotw 4y ago> You're essentially saying "if you don't like it, leave." Yes if you have options then why not. People make these decisions everyday. You are saying X is your top priority then I don't understand what stoping you from achieving that X when you have all the resources in the world to make it possible. Why do you need compassion from others if you already have the resources to achieve your own goals. What i am missing here.

Californians are unsatisfied with the status quo. They could decamp. Or they could work to change the system. They're doing the latter.
- watwut 4y agoNah. It is time to stop blaming democrats for republican policies. People go to GOP, because they like GOP as it is. I never seen progressives being blamed on GOP with equivalent "they made them do it".
- sn0w_crash 4y agoPeople are moving. They’re leaving these places and going to areas they and their families can live with a presumption of safety, without also being accused of “lacking compassion.”

- geebee 4y agoI won't allow it either, but the question does become "what are you going to do about it?" I don't want to assume anything about your experiences, but you might be surprised, in a place like San Francisco, how few options you have.
- bombcar 4y agoYou have the ability (and perhaps the duty, at some point) to move.
