I'm not one of these Democrats for whom homelessness is some sort of moralistic test of tolerance or whatever bullshit and while I roll my eyes slightly at the idea of homeless people just doing whatever the fuck they want at all times in city streets, which is what Republicans want you to believe, to me "solving" homelessness in our city streets is very simple: we build UK-style city council buildings to house them, complete with mental health facilities et al. Nothing fancy, but a clean, safe apartment unit for each person to live in with some dignity while they try to get their shit together.
Meanwhile, I'm constantly hearing about homeless people not wanting to go to a shelter as if it’s "oh well that's the end of that I guess 🤷♂️" and so I'd be like well its either one of the buildings we've built for you or jail, so you tell me buddy.
Of course he real reason I'm telling you nice people this is that I can't believe we've gone this long with the fucking nightmare of private prison system and the Republicans haven't figured out yet what an absolute flood of $$$$$$$$$$$ for their shithead private prison buddies this idea could be. 😬
