    How does this make sense?

    Like what the fuck is the reasoning? Do they think if they can’t see homeless people, they won’t be homeless anymore?

      They don’t care about the homeless so they don’t care that those poor people will still be homeless somewhere else. The rich just no longer have to see the unhoused -out of sight out of mind- as they say. Then since they’re now out of mind, they don’t have to fix or offer viable solutions for homelessness. The rich hope those poor people die as they’re deemed morally terrible people who are there directly because of their own failings. Plus it makes more slave labor available for today’s private prisons across the nation.

        Yes, I understand this.

        The point I’m making is that they’re still pretending not be as cold and cruel as they actually are, so I’d think there’d be some extremely shitty logic behind this, no matter how wrong.

        I just want to know what garbage reasoning they used.

      It’s extermination. With nowhere to go they are expected to die.

        Yes, sure.

        But like I’m sure the city doesn’t write that down as a goal on official papers, even when they know that’s what theyre doing.

      It’s almost impossible for politicians to confront their masters profiting from the housing crisis (eg. landlords, capital). But it’s extremely easy and self-satisfying for them to demonize and violently attack their victims.

        But like, surely pushing through laws like this needs some reasoning behind it, and it can’t officially be “we hate poor people”.

        So… what is it?
