My eyes were damaged in combat operations. I know it's inconvenient for you to tolerate my mistakes but believe it or not it's more than a tad inconvenient for me. Please try to bear with me. The date should read 1946.
Advocado toast, is that anything like avocado toast? Please bear with me, I'm trying to imitate Barfo.
No, it's just that I was having problems with my eyesight today. I guess I was feeling sorry for myself. It's a son of a bitch of a curse. Blind in one eye and have trouble seeing out of the other.
There are no tents in Tampa. It got cleaned up in 2011 when the city cracked down on aggressive panhandling and tent cities. Don’t let a limited worldview stay limited.
And yet, poor conservatives are not being bribed with alcohol and cigarettes to fraudulently push ballot measures or voter registration... https://www.google.com/amp/s/www.nbcnews.com/news/amp/ncna938716
You’ve literally listed 4 of the bluest Democratic bastions that there are, leaving out Chicago (which I’ve avoided) and DC (which I can attest to, though nowhere near as rampant as Seattle or Portland). Tampa doesn’t have a large homeless problem, even for being pretty blue/red split. Albany NY didn’t. Wilmington, NC doesn’t.
The explosion with tents in Portland, Seattle and other big cities started in concert in occupy wall street. Many that find there now were there during the protest. Its a way of life they've chosen when there are other viable options to pursue. People make choices everyday about whats important to them or not important to them.
Ah! 46 Portland was pretty cool. Sidewalks were clean, Beavers were playing at the Von Street Park and you could get there by Street Car.
So how did it get cleaned up? Did the homeless get jobs and buy houses? Or did you drive them away to the next town? If the latter, is that scalable? barfo
How can you crack down on these folks without playing bad guy to some tragic souls many of whom are mentally ill plus playing fire with some Constitutional rights?
We once found my mentally ill brother living on the street. I've got compassion for these lost souls.
Wait a minute now. A few months back, you and hcp blasted me for speaking my opinion that homeless are everywhere. You guys lit into me and told me i was clueless aNd homelessness is on the decline. Now your stance is there are tents everywhere? Lol.
I moved out to Newberg and lovin' it. Friendly people, wonderful atmosphere, and awesome food carts, baby!
Yeah, I remember that conversation. The homeless problem was worsening when I lived there on the east side. It is sad, disturbing, and no real long-term solution is in sight. Good luck to the mayor and the rest of the housing officials.
