RE: LA Has Criminalized Poverty By Making It Illegal To Sleep In Cars and RVs
Meth is a terrible thing, once people are on it, which is something they choose to do, they are responsible for the plight they find themselves in, it's sad but meth addicts seldom recover even with treatment.
Chew on that a little bit, it's kinda contradictory, meth is terrible thing once they are on it (addiction) but it's their choice (support system, do they even know they have that choice etc).
Meth makes people do evil shit so I can't excuse it and I don't feel bad for them.
Is it the drug or is it the person? Chew on that also.
Trump is right that we need to reopen our mental hospitals because a lot of homeless people are mentally ill and so they should probably be in mental hospitals getting treatment.
Bro, research the freaking inception and LONG established history of mental asylums and "hospitals". Listen to but a handful of people's disturbing experience with the doctors and nurses, who love the meth!
What the city did do there is put all those people in motels, how long until the garbage piles and fires in the motels force them to be condemned?
You forget bro that you don't even have the respect for these people to sympathize with them. To you it's your way or the highway, quite simple and indifferent, numb to anything but poor first world problems. Even if you throw some help to these people, make it measly enough that they barely survive there so then you can say that "we did everything bring in the dozers they ruined it again". (survive is living right?)
Indifference self perpetuating.
people who choose to be homeless in coastal California have only first world problems. You can rent a very nice three bedroom house with two bathrooms and a garage and a yard in Modesto for $1000 a month, but it is not hip or near the beach.
It's the drug, sadly by criminalizing cocaine it created a demand for a cheap alternative and there was meth.
But crack heads don't have the stamina to rip all the pipes out of someone's house, they don't generally have the drive to build elaborate shantytowns.
Cocaine is actually fairly easy to quit and low on the scale of addictiveness, relative to meth for sure. Crack heads neglect their kids, meth heads abuse them.
Yeah perhaps if one had 1000, the utilities... but it's a matter of choice.
Then it's more than a matter of choice.
I fully support legalizing cocaine.
Yeah but meth is bad mkay.
