Judge orders Phoenix to clear tents located on public property in 'The Zone'

Put them in jail. Addiction is not a disease. Cancer is a disease and will not change if you put them in jail. Addicts suddenly become ex-addicts when put in jail and cannot make the choice to buy drugs, steal to get drugs or sell their bodies to get drugs. Spend any "homeless" funds on police and jails. Stop making the taxpayers pay for criminals.

People like you are a part if the problem. Homelessness causes a state of mental instability. I'm glad you think you're so strong that this could never happen to you. So did I! All it takes is for one person to speak harshly of you for you to become a social outcast. You people in this valley with your little positions and title are narcissistic selfish human beings. Life seems so easy to you until you need help. Respond something antiquated like, "we'll move!" That too seems to be your solution for everything and body you deem socially unacceptable.

[@johnqpublic770]

Sometimes it takes times to start and complete a project. When a McDonald's gets built they don't buy the property and that day construction starts. Also we are talking about humans that are being told to move. You sound like a heartless individual. If the government seized where live through imminent domain do you think it would fair for them to seize your living space the day you were told? I understand these people aren't living in traditional houses with property rights but they deserve some courtesy and time to figure out what they are going to do next. Being homeless sucks. I assume you have never been homeless. If you have then you have strayed a long way from a person with any sympathy for the homeless.

@@forsale313 That's not true. Arizona used to be a WHITE ran state and Phoenix a WHITE ran city. I lived in Phoenix since the early 2000's.

The problems really kicked in when Greg Stanton, a half jew from LONG ISLAND NYC got into office and really ran Phoenix in the dirt. The population coming here in the early 90's were mainly other SOTHERNERS. Now it's the most undesireable people in the nation. It's a LOT of New Jersey, New York and jewish people flooding Phoenix instead of people from NEIGHBORING states. Plus, the people who ran Phoenix for the past 20 years have all been out of state born and raised jews intentionally ruining the city. Phoenix wanted growth and development.
