@nick_pappagiorgio It's because to live in the government provided tiny houses or shelters, you must follow rules . You can't bring in every piece of trash you collect on the street. You can't use drugs or alcohol . That is why they would rather sleep in a disgusting public bathroom . Nothing will change until they require the homeless to obey the rules. Overnight camping is illegal on the beach or the streets, write them citations if they don't pay, arrest them, and give them the choice of shelter, rehab, or prison . A functioning society needs rules. Now, everyone has to follow the rules except the homeless. They can sleep anywhere, openly use illegal drugs, and leave trash everywhere with no consequences.

Sounds like internment camps in Nazi Germany doesn't it? Homeless shelters in American cities are at 100% capacity with the most horrid conditions in the world, but maybe some elusive housing programs still possible to sober compliant subjects. And once someone does get a Section 8 voucher, it's tricky to find affordable housing within the rent limits set locally in every county in ever state.

I expected the cops to take a knee for the homeless guy . Since there all about kissing their a$$ .

[@elviscobb5922]

No, they aren’t. They are attempting to show a minimal amount of compassion while doing their job.

So much empathy and compassion for their fellow human beings in these posts. I hope none of you have to be homeless in the future.

[@boxerblvd3514]

Compassion for fellow humans that can take the help that is provided but don't want it because there's rules give me a break. GOD grant me The SERENITY to accept the things I cannot change COURAGE to change the things I can and WISDOM to know the difference. Just because someone is homeless doesn't give them the right to literally crap on everything they touch. They are not intitled to anything they have to want help.

[@donbob3343]

I've been homeless in the past,I don't recall it being much fun, that's why I have empathy for the homeless, walk a mile in their shoes,there is no easy solution for this problem. A lot of mental illness and drug addiction everywhere. I wonder if this is one of the consequences of late stage terminal capitalism,all the money flows to only a few players and like Monopoly,in the end only one player.

[@mothmanifest]

Oh BS! No excuse for being a cretin and allowed to become a public nuisance. It’s a societal disease that politicians are sweeping under the rug. It’s not ok. The homeless need to be treated against their will. It’s disgusting. Who in their right mind would expose a child to this?

[@robmullin1128]

It’s ridiculous that they have to do this daily. I get people are allowed to have their mental health untreated but it should not be at the expense of the communities they live in.

First step, ban urban camping. Possible jail time is very effective at getting rid of the homeless.

This situation of the man residing in the bathroom shows some mental disabilities in the way he was gesturing each of his movements.. The mental health of so many homeless will be addressed in the next administration more than it’s ever been before… May not happen immediately but it will happen..

Those restroom stalls are tiny. The guy who locked himself inside of a stall had a studio apartment full of stuff crammed in there. He had absolutely no space to move around. That’s a clear sign of mental illness.
