California Liberals Build a Cute Little Village for the Homeless

[$ecular#eckler]

How long until the volunteers get tired of being abused?
How long until the buildings are deteriorated to unusable?

Homeless Oaklanders were tired of the housing crisis. So they built a ‘miracle’ village

Under a highway, beautiful structures offer food, healthcare, showers and a free ‘store’ – as well as a strong sense of community

www.theguardian.com

There’s a collection of beautiful, small structures built from foraged materials. There’s a hot shower, a fully stocked kitchen and health clinic. There’s a free “store” offering donated items including clothes and books, and a composting toilet. There are stone and gravel paths lined with flowers and vegetable gardens. There’s even an outdoor pizza oven.

Is this for homeless Hobbits?

HaHaHa, this is rich. Look back at some archives--Oakland and SF had elevated double decker freeways (and bridges, Bay bridge) until Oct. 1987. During the Bay area World Series, the Loma Prieta earthquake struck. A double decker freeway in downtown Oakland collapsed--another on SF Fisherman's Wharf collapsed and a section of the upper deck of the bay bridge collapsed. As a result, all double decker freeways are gone with the exception of a portion of the bay bridge. Maybe the powers that be are hoping for another Loma Prieta quake. Problem solved.

How long before a homeless person gets "harmed" there and lawyers up?

Okay but building a pizza oven for a nearby homeless camp doesn't make anybody not homeless. It would be as pretentious as Nancy Pelosi donating one of her freezers of gourmet ice cream to a homeless encampment.

They couldn't put in a couple bucks to renovate one of the several THOUSAND abandoned large buildings in the city and turn it into homeless apartments?????

Sounds like a simple solution, but I think that is a really difficult proposition. The building has to meet housing codes, and then need security, and homeless people want to do drugs, and can't have that in a secured building. And so, homeless people will leave, and go back under the overpasses.

They should have crack and heroin dispensers like in Amsterdam.

Yeah...here is what brick red Utah did.

dumbfuck.

 

[Nosmo King]

What is the virtue of mocking the virtuous? And here, all along, we've been told this is a "Christian nation". But when the teachings of Christ are made tangible, those claiming belief in Christ mock those who truly follow His example.

And they won't even acknowledge their hypocrisy.

 

[Gracie]

Not all homeless people are crazy or addicts. I know. I was one for about 4 months. I met many that thru illness and loss of work, that found themselves in such a dilema. Good for them to build a nice place for themselves. Now all they need is to make damn sure addicts don't trash it up.

Yes much better to treat them like criminals and subhuman like in GOP cities where they can resort to crime and die alone, brainwashed functional moron hater dupe. Thanks for 40 years of giveaway to the rich and screw job for everyone else, the war on drugs which gives us the biggest prison population by far and huge cartels and the destruction of Central America, The stupidest wars ever.... A huge corrupt deregulation bubble and bust every time the GOP gets eight years in office, and the worst pandemic response ever, the worst propaganda machine ever. Change the damn channel you f****** moron lol. Oops brainwashed functional moron. Let's try taxing the rich more like their fair share and join the rest of the modern world with health care daycare cheap college and training great infrastructure and vacations and an ID card to end illegal immigration like everywhere else in the modern world. Not to mention starting to build low-cost housing again and maybe even having a real mental health system. What a concept....

 

[badger2]

A quake does not solve the problem, Dumbass. The current system manufactures homelessness, as in a factory production line.

Seems to me they had a squatters encampment in an abandoned warehouse in Oakland a couple of years ago. Apparently there were problems with electrical and it burned down with some loss of life.

That is cute! Good for them. Sounds like you prefer to cut them off to teach them a lesson and get them off their lazy asses to get a job. But while you work on that I’ll commend the good citizens and volunteers for trying to do something to make their community better

The entire common ventilation system of any of those apartments buildings is always suffused with a cloud of marijuana and heroin smoke etc. suffused through a bong and/or partially deodorized.

Homelessness is an inevitable consequence of saying no to drugs in America.

There are many different options to diffusing a problem like that....................

Not really. Do the drugs you're dealt or go to jail. That's the law, or what passes for law anymore in America.
