    the cleanups are part of a broader outreach program by the city, nonprofits and other partners to lift up those stuck in persistent poverty.

      Yeah I really hate the rhetoric that the activist s were preventing progress for these homeless people. It's not like they would be there with rifles to prevent you from talking to homeless people and telling them about a housing first project that would ensure they all received apartments.

      I mean I hate to :19::84: but damn, "You're harming these people egregiously by making sure their homes and possessions aren't destroyed. Our project to take all their possessions from them is actually in their best interests" is pretty nuts

        No, I'm with you. I fully expect them to formalize a process of enslaving homeless people any day now. I mean they already are, with those "Felony camping" laws.

        Just the other day, Trump was literally talking about setting up concentration camps (though he called them "tent cities") outside major cities for homeless people.

      Why are you mad at me? I'm throwing away all your possessions that you need to survive in order to help you!
