re: Supreme court might finally allow cities/states to rid their streets of bums!

We need to build giant internment camps for the drug addicted bums who have no chance of being a contributing member of society. We did it for the Japanese in WW2 and they were law abiding citizens. So why can’t we do it now for these bums? You don’t see this problem in Europe either. We are way too lenient with the scourge of homeless.

They’ve cleaned it up a bit but Austin got completely out of control for a while.

Guilliani cleaned up his city back in the 90s. The city was a real mess after the crack epidemic and we always joked that he had them all thrown in the river. It was a stark difference in only a few short years. Bloomsburg continued his policies and by around 2005ish the city felt like Disneyland so much I kind of missed the grittiness of the old days.
He called it broken windows and he went after the nuisance crimes like noise complaints when bars would empty out and panhandlers at intersections wanting to wash your windows for change. The idea was to make it feel like less of a lawless shite hole. He also gathered up the homeless and put most of them in hotels where they can clean themselves and hopefully get a job. It worked.
Here is the thing: crime went down everywhere, including all the other big cities who didn't enact these policies.
Rudy's efforts to clean up NYC were just good timing for a major societal shift from the shithole that America was from 1975-1995.

They would be full of Republican "terrorists" within two years of completion.

I have noticed that very small towns and rural areas seem to have very few, if any, homeless people.

Which cities in the world have the worst/nastiest homelessness?
SF is the most widely known for its problem with urban outdoorsmen, but it's pretty much impossible to go through any moderately sizable town or city without seeing several panhandlers, signs in hand, at every off ramp from the interstate.
Atlanta
Oklahoma City
Charlotte
New Orleans
Jacksonville
The list is endless.

quote:Stop n Frisk worked well.
ETA: he also went after violent offenders and had special units on the street, highly trained and experienced veteran police officers, spot gun toting thugs and stop and frisk them. They were the street crimes unit and mostly dressed like construction workers and would drive around in taxi cabs. They were accurate something like 90% of the stops were illegally carrying concealed firearms. Shootings plummeted in the city.

You'd think there'd be some drifter's or something... but I bet oxford PD picks them up for anything to get them out of sight

We really should round them up and put them in some sort of camp and force them to perform work on things that need doing. It is a shame we can't criminalize being insane and broke and just shoot the bastards on site. When we get rid of all those sick bastards we could move on to cancer clinics and do the same thing....pretty soon there would only be nice, decent, healthy folks without all manner of disgusting illnesses. It is entirely in the purview of the state to decide who does and does not have a right to exist based on any criteria we as a society deem worthy....it is kind of the definition of a free people, to grant the state the power to remove the sick and poor from our sight...it is grand idea and has always worked out for a civilization.

For the backdrop of Denver to be so picturesque, the homeless problem there is atrocious It’s a shame because it wasn’t that way 15 years ago.
It’s the legalized marijuana. The addicts went there with the promise of marijuana and then smoked so much they couldn’t keep a job

Survival of the fittest is not the kind of science that liberals choose to embrace. Neither is anatomy.
As such, we have living that would otherwise be dead and boys that aren’t allowed to be boys

Some failed Austrian painter ruined this idea for everyone else

Survival of the fittest is not something that human nature embraces. No monarch in the history of the world would be considered a "liberal" and very few of the frickers were among the fittest to survive in their era...but survive they did because they were able to force their will on people without a moments concern....anyone who wants to live that way is welcome to do so...go to prison, the same thing takes place.

Those areas also have very few people relative to major urban areas so there is that....
Those areas also have a LOT of housing which would not be allowed to be occupied in a city. Have to have at least some dirt to have a septic system....hard to build one in downtown Atlanta for a family of 4.....

Denver police cared more about the homeless than me, was a huge indicator I need to leave.

they had a big bum encapment in the woods, and a builder came and bought the property to build houses. Man, i wish i was there when the bulldozers came to clear their asses out

Direct Deposit and a near cashless society has driven down crime stats more than any single thing...knocking folks in the head don't pay like it once did....
