Ah, yes. “I’m not going to help you but I will pay for you to get out of my sight”. Very compassionate stuff

For it to be compassionate it would first need to be effective, it isn't compassionate to insist on only accepting a response that has been proven not to work.https://twitter.com/mikebonin/status/1402291875965378562 …

To address this crisis, to save lives, and restore our public spaces, we need housing and services, not handcuffs and civil rights violations.

That’s true! But I suspect that many advocates of this policy, it would be very much effective to the extent that it “gets rid of the homeless problem” in their city.

I actually think the bus ticket solution is a perfect expression of the American “cult of personal responsibility”. It suits those who don’t want to round up and incarcerate unhoused people but also don’t feel any social obligation toward them.

Studies suggest that mandatory rehab is ineffective and might even result in worse outcomes. It’s effectively the same thing as incarcerating them. But it puts them out of sight, out of mind. So that’s nice for wealthy SF property owners!

& TL residents that have to climb over drugged out & OD'd bodies on their sidewalks, & deal with closures of retail due to crime that funds those drug habits (even SF doesn't buy addicts their drugs).

The shoplifting panic is overblown. And the discomfort of onlookers is nothing compared to that of the unhoused. But even if I grant you that, it’s just all more reason to meaningfully end the crisis. Locking people up doesn’t do that, neither does shipping them away
