Democratic-run cities do not care about homelessness until they get to host a prestigious event that will bring cameras and tourists to their streets. Instead of fixing the issue, many Democrats would rather push the homeless into a corner until everyone leaves and then go back to ignoring the…

I live in Oklahoma, one of the most red states in the country, and I hate going to downtown Tulsa because I get constantly accosted by homeless people of varying sketch levels. The highways around here always have people begging for change on the offramps. We’re supposed to lock the breezeway doors at my job on the PM shifts way out because during winter we had homeless people hanging out in there to get out of the wind.
Like tell me more about how it’s a democrat problem when I give an actual solution and it gets turned down for being “socialism.”
I agree it’s a pretty shitty article and not well written, bordering hypocritical because it’s a national problem and not just a west coast problem. It’s commentary and not necessarily what I’d deem “journalism”. When discussing what we are dealing with here in Seattle, I usually just say it’s a complex problem and it doesn’t have an easy solution.
Homelessness certainly does have an easy solution, but it’s expensive and we’re not willing to spend the money.
