They prosecute my homeless client for blocking the right of way and then give free money to businesses to help them block the right of way. Make it make sense.

We got to know where we are from, that I am a married man doing grocery shopping for my family, and that in fact I study US-China relations. Hearing his “see you again good man,” I once again realized perhaps we are all just afraid.

Second time this week a homeless person yelling at me “Go back to China.” Today I decided to share a bottle of soda and converse with him for quite a while on the street.

The whole right-wing homeless v. taxpayer dichotomy kinda breaks down in a place with incredibly regressive taxation (i.e. the place where we live).
Homeless people pay way more as a percentage of their incomes in sales tax than the average taxpayer.

Hopefully the police put the same amount of effort into protecting those losers as they do protecting the taxpayers

i have literally seen the SF DA’s office prosecute TO TRIAL an elderly, Black, homeless man for sleeping on the street without any compunction over “ethics” or “evidence” but when a cop is charged for killing someone, it’s “political” & gets dropped. should we be surprised?

The week I was moving into housing, a fellow homeless woman I barely knew said she was so happy for me. Later when I passed back by, she had made this for my home.

Remember in 2016 when the horrible tech bro wrote an open letter to the mayor about how he shouldn’t have to see the homeless people he was displacing ?
I feel like much of this new urbanist movement is this dude forming various lobbying orgs

Thank you for your anger. ❤️🔥

And if it stopped there, that would be sociopathic enough. But now, the movement is also pushing for more violent treatment of unhoused people by police.
I plan on being mad about this until it stops. twitter.com/dizz_h/status/…

A “solution” that says unhoused people should have to wait 30 years for luxury condos to trickle down to them deserves to be made fun of endlessly and ruthlessly.
Using unhoused people to lobby for housing you won’t let them live in is cynical and cruel. ❤️

So making fun of the Yimby's when construction is still going on, housing crisis still going, and 10k people on the street each night and no solutions at all is silly. This cities politics and people in charge is 100% awful.

it depends on who applies. it wild my application was easy peasy but my roomate who is a black n non-binary took months to get theirs approved. this is that i told how 2 dogde all the loopholes but the fear of not being honest 2 a government assistance approval
if you’re poor but don’t want or need food stamps, get them anyway and use it to buy food for your unhoused neighbors. FOOD SHOULD BE FREE FOR EVERYONE.

It would be nice for the activation of the Committee to come with a hearing of the following zoning requests. Is it too late to agendize IX1 expansion?

“They go after every listing under $500,000 … it’s like clockwork.”
Metro Atlanta is ground zero for an investor takeover of the American Dream.
Buyers can’t compete with the flood of cash. Renters are exploited for profit.

Daaaang... My own neighborhood council wants to implement 41.18 AFTER Inside Safe happened. Why after the fact? Just about everyone in a visible tent is gone now...

WHOA! Missing from the L.A. Times' sparse reporting on the collapse of Skid Row Housing Trust is their attempt to raise $75 Million in a direct sale stock offering tied to distressed mortgages. Who is behind it? streetinsider.com/SEC+Filings/Fo

The "financialization" of houseless people. A case study. You really think these folks had "wrap around services"? If so, I have a bridge to sell ya.
This is a scandal!

I am just so fucking angry at the NERVE of these people who are PAID to look after the residents of this city and instead offload that responsibility to a bunch of underfunded programs and underpaid overworked burned out saints doing everything and volunteers. Seriously.

I worked in supported housing in NY and I can personally attest that taking people off the streets and into a home is not the neat solution people think it is. Many of them are homeless to begin with because they have severe mental illness or substance abuse issues.

'going somewhere where we can afford to live' is laughable.
3. We finally had been able to get out of our homeless situation and move to TJ. You're missing the point of my entire thread. If your solution to the homeless crisis is "Just move somewhere else."

city to transplant and be homeless somewhere else?
Several answers.
1. We have friends and family in San Diego. Our lives were built in San Diego. And no, we were not able to live with friends and family due to their own personal factors. AKA, they weren't allowed to let us

airbnbs have never been much of an option for most disabled folks. Anything accessible was either wildly expensive or near-impossible to find. Hotels never stopped being the legitimate option for disabled ppl.

Officer Lynn Murphy labeled Brigid "psychotic" in that IJ article. Still no correction.

Today, at a CARE+ sweep, a employee got out of the car and immediately scoffed/ laughed at an unhoused neighbor crying, as they were clearly in a mental health crisis. we urge you to stop the sweeps that continue to traumatize our unhoused neighbors.

And then what happens? They’re “restrained” in the same physical manner they were when attacked. Only this time by LE who is dismissing their trauma & telling them to “calm down” & “stop resisting”. Trauma layered on trauma. We have the resources for it all to be so different.
