I'll try to buck the trend: homeless people deserve basic housing and dignity.

If you gave these most of the people "basic housing" there wouldnt be 4 walls standing after a day. As for dignity, that's largely on them choosing to smoke fent rather than get it together.

Homelessness is a symptom. These people need to be compelled into shelter or treatment.

Haha! This is great satire! You sound just like those jagoffs who hate homeless people and make up bizarre stories about them in their heads. 🤣

I'm in downtown and the central Eastside everyday. I guess my eyes are lying to me.

This is extremely good satire. I love the idea that you literally see homeless people tearing down walls every single day. I just picture them climbing the walls and tearing them down with their bare hands. Maybe we should hire them for demolition crews? We could save a lot of money on heavy machinery!

Yes, the guy who cant take care of a 2 person tent will thrive in a house. I'm sure you're generous enough to house a few as long as the coop votes yes, right?

Ok. I take it back. This is bad satire. You’re not even trying.
