If you’re tired of it then advocate for actual solutions. How fucking gutless do you have to be to condone shit like this because you feel icky being around homeless people.


Dude I live like 5 mins from downtown east side Vancouver, aka the area world famous for it’s homeless and drug addiction crisis. Yeah no shit it sucks to be around people like that, that has absolutely nothing to do with what we’re talking about.

Making homelessness illegal does not solve homelessness, it scatters the problem. Vancouver’s new mayor did a street sweep and wow wouldn’t you know it, homeless people are still homeless, they’re just more spread out now. You say you’re empathetic towards them but you’re advocating for a “solution” that solves absolutely nothing.

Stop doing mental gymastics to rationalize these ridiculous tactics.


No one is saying homeless camps are good. Making it illegal to camp during the day means homeless people need to pack up everything they own every day and carry it around, or be arrested. It does absolutely nothing to solve the problems that create homeless people and only makes their lives more difficult.


Do all of those things exist in Portland? Or are they just making homelessness illegal with no avenues of escape.
