We’ve received reports homeless people are sleeping in Central Park so we will be dropping Agent Orange via helicopter over the entire area tonight around 8:00PM. Please keep your windows closed during this time, thank you

 Finally, we made a park that we can enjoy without worrying about the homeless hanging around

Why do that when you can donate to a local charity that is definitely not just a church that will tell them to use jesus to cure their addiction or gently caress right off

Yeah, houses for the houseless is the obvious solution but that would create ~*~moral hazard~*~ as people might decide "hey wait why should I pay for a house if I can get one for free?" and then a whole sector of the economy based on extracting rents through exploiting people's basic physiological needs would lose their market power and collapse. So instead we gotta maintain a houseless population to scare everyone else into paying their bills but we don't want them hanging around the people with even a semblance of political power as it might annoy or disturb them so we gotta turn the public spaces in the nice parts of town into hostile hellscapes and blame the houseless for why we can't have nice things.

Okay but what if we made our city so horrible that even desperate homeless people won't want to be here?

Using homelessness as an implied threat to keep the proles working their lovely jobs is far too useful a tool for the ruling class.

I know someone who, when they stop at an intersection where someone is asking for money, leaves lots of room between them and the car in front of them. Then when the person comes to their window to show them a sign or whatever, they've got room to pull forward to get away from the person. It's a lot of work just to not give somebody money.

Yeah but if you don’t do that you might have to interact with a homeless and see they’re human! The horror! Then I might need to confront what about me being comfy in a system that constantly cranks out a homeless population says about me and our society at large! You want me to spoil my brunch like that?!

Do homeless people in some places swarm cars like sucker fish on the side of a fish tank because I've never had the problem of them sticking to my windows and needing to "get away", they generally just walk past you if you're not rolling your window down to hand them some change.

There's one guy at an intersection near me that's written "COMPUTER REPAIR, VIRUS REMOVAL, TUNE-UP, $20!" on the electrical box he hangs out next to and he always makes me think "man that's totally gonna be me in like 10-20 years when they finally figure out how to automate away computer touching isn't it"

hobbesmaster posted:some squeegee guys are weirder aggressive Oh right squeegee guys, we don't have those here for some reason? At least I've never seen em' in Florida, maybe we have a particularly stupid law about it or maybe they just get shot more often here by angry white dudes... seen em' in Atlanta though so I'm not sure what's up with that.

The thing about homeless people is the majority of them have jobs, they just can't afford housing. Most of us probably interact with a homeless person on a weekly if not daily basis, the thing is they're selling us Slim Jims and Mountain Dew at the gas station rather than standing on the corner with a sign.

Cutting down trees that add beauty and everyone enjoys in order to not allow homeless people from enjoying them is as close to a literal “Nose/ cut/spite/ face” scenario as you can get

My buddies used to always rag on me for giving money to the homeless. "I can smell the street on you" (they would often give me a big hug). We don't talk anymore.
