Why? Work is cruel and unusual punishment, even if you pay them. Also, it violates their civil rights.
Maybe vagrancy laws would help.
ANOTHER reason ‘city employees’ ‘HATE’ Conservatives and their ilk.
Whenever there is a ‘Conservative’ style get together, most people take their trash with them or at least put it in the containers that are provided.
When the LIBERALS and their minions gather, one can expect mountains of trash which the unionized trash collecters get double and triple time to clean up after them.
I stopped at a truck stop/rest area/gas station and as I exited my vehicle the guy cleaning up the yard made it a point and came over and THANKED me for putting my trash in the container.
He said something about how he wished everyone were like me.
I (not so) subtly reminded him that if ALL put their trash in the assigned bins there would be no need for HIM to get paid to pick it up.
To prove my point, I wadded some papers up and dropped them on the ground so he had ‘something to do’. He thanked me and went whistling off on his merry way.
Not including the human garbage.
Not to worry. Starbucks is very welcoming of the homeless community. Just dump everything into their dumpsters.
I imagine that at least a couple tons are missing election ballots.
You are right!! But at least after today’s 7-2 scotus ruling I don’t have to serve them if they offend my Christianity which abhors theft and filthiness!!
Nice point! MAGA!
And that was just the human residents!
Vote Democrat. You too can make your city a shithole just like we did in Seattle.
“Sleepless in Seattle”? No problem. Find an RV park and come on it. Find an alley and make yourself at home.
Need drugs? No problem. We have all kinds and in all amounts, domestic and foreign. Like Chinese? Come kill yourself with our Friendly Fentanyl. Pop is for Pussies. Use the good stuff, and die.
Homeless with an RV? I would have thought AMC Pacer or some such.
So many people are too lazy and worthless to use a trashcan that’s right near them.
I see it a lot.
It sickens me.
The solutions to most of lifes’ problems are usually extraordinarily simple, most simply lack the guts to implement the solution: Tell EVERYONE in the camp they have 24 hours to make the place spotless or EVERYTHING goes into the garbage and people will be arrested.....pretty damn simple.
I read a story about a guy in Los Angeles. He buys old RV’s at a scrapyard and tows them to a curb where he rents them out for $500-$1000 a month. Most of the renters are employed but don’t make enough to afford traditional rent. If I recall, he does wastewater cleanouts too.
That actually sounds like a decent business plan.
These people are underemployed, not homeless.
I had to live away from my family for several months due to a job transfer. I gave some consideration to the urban camping thing but then I found a cheap enough situation renting a room.
The bums at these camps are a societal drag and need to be removed. The mental institutions need to be re-opened, drug addicts need to be offered rehab or incarceration. Perhaps both.
The son of a friend has been in the hospital on IV treatment for some really bad infection he got after someone broke his sternum doing CPR after an overdose. His hospital stay has been several weeks where I understand he’s grateful because it forced him to stay clean.
Such incarceration will help a certain segment of the addicts.
The camps are a pariah and must be eradicated. There was a small one in our city. The police were unable to legally enforce trespass laws due to the property in question being under probate, but they patrolled the area several times a day, made sure the people stayed alive, offered them transport to shelters instead and tried to make life uncomfortable.
The Chief flat out asked citizens to not help them out. Don’t feed them, don’t bring blankets or warm clothes. He said we want them to leave.
They must have finally figured something out because the camp is now gone.
Near Los Angeles there is the Sepulvada dam park. A 26 acre lake and a creek that runs nearby. Lots of brush for the homeless. The creek is filthy from all the trash and there are piles of clothes like 15 x 20 feet across and a few feet high that have been gathered by park employees waiting for disposal. I have seen that twice so far. This is the democrat party results. Thousands of drug addled bums trashing a nice park and your neighborhood.
I was in Portland 1.5 months ago. It looked like they had cleaned out the homeless along the Max Train (except downtown).
It won’t last.
“The goal is to create more “tiny homes” encampments where the homeless can live without any regulation of their drug or alcohol use.“
What could possibly go wrong?

Should dump it in the Mayors office and the City Council chambers where it belongs ...
