The same problem exists in San Diego. The cops clear out ravines full of stolen bikes and scooters. They know exactly which homeless people are stealing and possessing them, but there are never arrests. The selling of bike parts (and pet theft also) all goes into fueling addictions. Simple solution: ENFORCEMENT. Throw them in jail or halfway houses with tight curfews, clean up the damn streets. Make it safer for the women, families, disabled, pensioners who live on the street simply because there is little suitable, safe, affordable housing available.
@PartnershipsForYou4 жыл бұрын
The main reason is because homeless people are usually mentally not well. You saw that toothless black guy smacking that guy's window. We need better mental health in this country.
