These are the same people who say you can go to any neighborhood at any time and be safe. They are so detached from reality. Or maybe they just fit right into these neighborhoods.

If we implemented your "best solution" for everyone you think deserves it, we'd no longer have any worries about population control. I'm sure you think this is a positive. Kinda like a final best solution, right?

Sieg Heil.

The best solution is sending all violent criminals to live in Italy

Undercover browns, amirite mongy?

you still have 1 every 6 households living in public housing, with many more only being owners because they bought the public house they previously occupied.

and that would be more than enough to cover the needs of poor actual Britons (people with 2+ British grandparents).

If only they were allowed to access the heritage of their country, instead of it being given to newcomers (or their children) that often enough actually hate what the UK is and was in the past.

It's not enough and its more segregated now.

It is changing hopefully. This labour government is tooton with a few decent but there are signs of life from the left.

Denver has 2x more homeless people than San Francisco and I can assure you the whole city doesn't smell like piss, just like the whole city of san francisco doesn't smell like piss, despite what rick might claim. I'll just say that making up a claim that a whole city smells of piss when it doesn't seems quite detached from reality

As for "any" neighborhood, nobody here claimed that. Many posters made fun of you for being scared of poor people though

We can just point to the standard comment that a city "smell like piss" and there are "tents everywhere" and "feces in the street" from people who don't live there and don't really frequent there either as obvious victims of propaganda

Clearly you haven't seen the deterioration of these cities over the past few decades. It's not propaganda, it's fact.

I lived in Palm Springs a few decades ago so maybe you are just talking out your butt?

Of course there are homeless people in every major city. Nobody is disputing that. There were a lot of homeless people in San Diego in 1994 too.

But homeless people don't make a city a shithole. You just don't like seeing homeless people

No I'd prefer to not see homeless people.

I'm glad that you like seeing homeless people. Does it make you feel better about yourself?

When the homeless rate is expanding at more than double the population growth, that's problematic. And the more homeless people there are the more shithole a city is.

Nobody likes looking at homeless people.

But objectively, the cities in the US with the highest homeless populations are our most successful cities. You remove the top 10 cities for homelessness in the US and you wipe out like 25% of our GDP. New York, LA, and SF are >3 trillion (more than 10%)

The biggest shithole I've been to in the US? Pampa Texas. Dying industrial town in the middle of nowhere with 17,000 residents. Probably next to no homelessness

So move elsewhere, no one gives a **** about your precious little feelings.

As I posted earlier in the thread, the red states are not any better at dealing with homeless people, they literally just bus them out and ship them off to places that aren’t completely despicable and inhumane.

Still, we do need to figure out how to make sure there aren’t a bunch of homeless on the street.

There is basically no efficient and humane solution. You either bus em out of sight, kill them, let them take over your underground tunnels like in las vegas, or you engage in tenuous and arduous rehabilitation. Rehabilitation takes an overwhelming amount of resources that people then write up big reports calling it waste

Of course nobody who doesn't like looking at them has any sort of solution other than to say any city where homeless people reside is a **** hole

I mean you can also put the most persistently crazy ones into asylums where they can get medical treatment with no plans to rehabilitate.

Why do you keep saying this? Besides you (for reasons unknown), who likes looking at homeless people?

My dad always thought this was a horrible mistake, although tbh given the conditions in those asylums it might have been an upgrade to be sent to prison.

That's a good point. Rural poverty is endemic, and nobody ever talks about it.

Solution: money

You've got Rick beat, who lives on an island fortress which snap-deports whoever unhoused dare set foot on the ground.

Beyond being evil, it seems like a tough policy to enact. Many homeless are temporarily so and/or are on the move a lot, are you gonna approach every grimy-looking person on the street and ask for proof of housing status? Presumably this doesn't happen, and Ricknuts' problem is that their homeless like to sleep in the parks or some other true horror.

ITT we learn that it's impossible to identify and arrest people for vagrancy, a law that has been on the books for *checks Google* over 200 years (in the UK, anyway).

I knew the US was missing something. That something? Even more people in our tax payer funded for profit prisons

I'm not suggesting what should or shouldn't be done, merely that it the contention that it's impossible to identify homeless people (which seems to be what KoG is saying) is a little ridiculous.

I’m thinking it’s close to an 8 based off of how he acted at the NATO conference.

Apparently he was not making demands and wasn’t harping on anything.

Now remains to be seen how long this lasts, because all it takes is for someone crazy to talk to him and he’ll be back on the bandwagon.
