Homeless people and their advocates say the sweeps are cruel and a waste of taxpayer money. They say the answer is more housing, not crackdowns.
That’s not how things are done in this country. In the US, poverty is a crime. We have the second highest poverty rate, among OECD nations, and we have the world’s largest prison population. We have decided that is how we will handle the problem.

Agree 100%. Look up the “housing first model” and donate to non profits that do this:

Far too many states handle homelessness very poorly.
Bro… I am all about direct action ans personal responsibility but we can’t fucking donate our way out of homeless crisis.
This is a system issue, requires federal and state government solutoon and neither is willing to do anything about it
