    Sorry, you would accept homeless people moving from other areas?

    If you mean moving into my neighborhood, then the answer is yes.

    They have every advantage (being First Worlders) to do that now. Are they doing it?

    YOU are not discarding them. YOU are doing nothing to them that isn't done to all of us (laws). They 'discard' themselves.

    YOU fail to realize that there is a human element involved here. Someone who is on the street who is mentally ill could care less what YOU think. In their minds its most likely survival from one day to the next contrary to what YOU believe.

    Which is why the post answered your question with a NO.

    The only one's to see it as a to allow people to crap on them are tRUMP types.

    He's just trolling though. Not even the most RADICAL left winger would say that it's a GOOD thing for
    homeless people to move into their neighbourhood! The most that someone would say is that they would tolerate it.

    Of course he's just one more NIMBY leftist.

    All hollow virtue signalling.

    Your calling it trolling because you don't like the answer. That is not my problem if you cannot handle the truth.

    Why a "cesspit"? Do you have a problem with homeless people?

    I wasn't referring to your kids coming back from college with no job, I'm talking about homeless strangers. I have no kids.

    Return to Vagrancy Laws!     :rant:

    Not everyone can afford to live in Santa Monica, California.
    Homelessness should not assure a place to live in Santa Monica,
    whether street camping or "demanding" homelessness housing.
    Homelessness should assure residential assistance where the market is more appropriate.

    What part do I have incorrect?


    Moi :oldman:
    The Correct Answer is, "No!".



    Don't :flagcanada:ize, :flagus:​

    Please keep my family out of this. I said 3 people and I mean 3 people. I volunteer and work with various agencies that help the homeless.

    Right .. and? Laws apply to ALL citizens, equally. What about the blind, the wheelchair bound, the very elderly, the frail, the brain injured? Such people usually have a choice in their 'disability', yet they too are subject to the same laws.

    Making allowances for one group, and worse - making allowances for the very group who DO have a choice in their 'disability' - is a double fail.

    If they are citizens of the First World, then yes. All the tools and opportunities for a good productive life are available.

    Are you going to pretend that they're not a problem?
