This is a good thing. Everyone seems to ignore the worst part about homelessness: homeless people, shelters, and their encampments devalue the homes and properties of homeowners in the area. So as soon as a homeless shelter is built on your block, boom your property's value is now cut in half. This is a huge problem and ruins many people's financial investments.
- hrunt 2y agoI agree that the governor's efforts to remove homeless encampments is a good thing. But the worst part about homelessness is the quality of life for homeless people -- full stop. Framing the problem of homelessness as a financial burden of much wealthier property owners dehumanizes the people most affected by homelessness and perpetuates the lack of effort to address the problem.
- toastercat 2y agoSorry but they dehumanize themselves. It's like natural selection except our society has not selected them. They do not fit in, and effort should be put into a systematic way of removing these people. I know it sounds heartless, but we can't keep spending tax dollars on people who can't help themselves.
