someplace with a bunch of tents? An 'encampment', if you will!

What's that? Oh, sure the fake news media will call it that, but it's not that at ALL! In fact, we also plan to provide them with work!

History may not repeat itself but it frequently sings.

Usually not mentioned in most reports.

And the MAGAt's keep cheering 'it's what we voted for!' like a bunch of fucking fiends.

those they would go after.

Healthcare resources are already at or near the breaking point in most areas.

If only there were organizations that built human habitats.

IF ONLY....



IF ONLY there were a way to manufacturer homes at a reasonable cost.

IF ONLY....

Hospitals aren't really part of it. Building more houses isn't really part of it. There are certainly individuals whose situation would change with each of those but as a group, unhoused folks would not be appreciably impacted by those things alone. One thing that would have a major impact, would likely never happen, would be banning and holding liable families who persecute and make their homes inhospitable to lgbtqia, neurodivetgent or mentally ill offspring.

If their children are adults they are under no obligation to continue to house them - no matter what the reason is. And that is as it should be.

If they are under age there are already laws that exist that require them to take care of them.

they killed a couple of those folks.

just waiting for when, not if, now

Welcome to block. Ta!😁

Or maybe they will force hospitals to incarcerate people
at their own expense (right)...

... or else find disused, derelicl buildings and just call
them hospitals (right).

Temporary Detaining Order

20 years ago I worked at a CSB. One small hospital got bought up by an expanding college. This city 2-4 TDO beds out. The crisis team said just those fewer beds changed everything.

Getting back to paying, are they going to PAY for more TDO beds? Those beds have to be available. Hospitals can’t use them for anything else. I’m guessing there’s payment of some sort to keep them available but I’d also guess occupied vs unoccupied are two different daily/hourly rates.

They don't.

…looking for “solutions” to “concentrate” those deemed “less than desirable”

What in the fu*king fu*k!

I don’t even recognize this place anymore…

Who's "order"

Can’t get any more Soviet than that!

This has disturbing possibilities for ending very bad.

Naw, can't do that...doesn't serve the interests of the billionaire class.

They are choosing to handle increasing inequality with increasing force.

...just gather them all up and drop them on Haiti. No longer our problem.

Ahem.....TAX THE FUCKING RICH AND USE THOSE FUNDS TO HELP THE HOMELESS PEOPLE!!!!!!!!!

Remembering my childhood in central California. when passing through Napa, Ca. on our way to the Coast, they would point out the "Nut House", or hospital where patients would be sent if they had issues preventing them from being self-sufficient and homeless (or were an uncooperative wife, for that matter). Governor Ronald Reagan's signature accomplishment was to end those programs, for better or worse. Since then, homelessness has grown and become more of an issue. Hardly any resources are devoted to this, beyond volunteers handing out bread in soup lines. Presumably now we'll begin shipping them off to be housed by those who can sleep at night because they are unencumbered by inklings of Humanity. They're already on speed-dial. And we won't be forced to look at them. Fixed It!!!!!

much, much more attention needs to be brought to bear. This is a Tragedy, and the answers are nowhere evident in our discourse. This needs to be a "Red Ball" issue, all hands on deck.

They lived 'on campus'. They, and the residents of the hospital were dumped on the streets so Reagan could say he saved some dollars.

One of those abominable private prisons? Tent city? Concentration camp?

El Salvador?

Trump already said president of El Salvador needs to build more prisons.

who we can sleep with, and "forcibly hospitalize" people who don't knuckle under.

Freedumb, y'all.

or closer to sending them to El Salvador or some other concentration camp. My fear is they are leaning towards the latter.

The Federal Government has no jurisdiction over homelessness in cities … except maybe DC.
