@flexghost wow! This is par for the course for that part of the county but it's just crazy seeing the town I grew up in garnering this kind of attention. It's sad that it's come to this, but ironically this southern Baptist strong hold is what caused me to become atheist. I'm not trying to say anything specific, just my observations.
@flexghost
Then can the homeless sue the city for not giving them homes? There are literally more homes than homeless.
We need to make a law that it's illegal for a landlord to refuse someone to live in an unoccupied residence and it's illegal to evict someone if they can't get an alternative residence.
@flexghost Republicans have a nack for twisting facts, the truth and even the Gospel of Christ to promote their right Wing Republican ideology. The parable of the Good Samaritan, Luke 10: 25-37 reminds us that some people who pretend to be religious will ignore helping people who are down on their luck or who need our help or kindness. Like the priest in the parable, these Republican commissioners would rather “pass on the other side,” than help the homeless in their community.

@flexghost Martin vs Boise set precedent that cities (states in this case?) cannot enforce anti-camping laws unless they provide enough beds to shelter people.
Chico, CA (where I live) tried to enforce a law similar to Boise’s and we now at least have better and more shelters after Chico got shellacked in court.
@Mx_EddyNikko i’m not sure what conservative means anymore but it sure doesn’t mean fiscally conservative. I don’t think they care what makes more sense on paper
@flexghost So they must provide a warm, comfortable shelter where those who need it can eat, sleep, shower, take care of their basic needs, and can stay for as long as they need to, right?
@kkarhan@flexghost They sure do go away. These kinds of laws are used to bolster slave populations that then get rented out to companies as free or nearly free labor.
