Who gives a rats arse what Jesus would do? Are you advocating a theocracy? You want to make public policy based on your idea of what an itinerant preacher from ancient Palestine would do if he was plopped in present day Austin?

Its decently bad in Gainesville. Liberal cities have no idea how to handle homeless issues. They are such weak human beings they cant enforce anything.

It's the liberal democratic cities that go to hell like this. This is where the democratic party is taking society.

Where I live in Chicago id guess would be way worse but winters are so damn brutal they can’t stick around.

I found Chicago to be extremely shocking
Clean, not dangerous feeling and not many homeless people

I assumed i was going to be dodging bullets

Then again i stayed in river north

It’s gotten worse over the years, and poiliticians catering to it won’t help, but it doesn’t light a candle to Houston.

I don't think anyone is pretending they aren't human.

I know a few homeless folks. While there is a small percentage that is mentally ill, a larger percentage are there for alcohol/drug addiction reasons.

If you are permissive with homeless folks, you'll have a very large population of homeless folks and it does cause major problems. My town did a study and found that the homeless population cost downtown business over 3M a year.

So, what do we do?

That's a relief. I thought they figuratively had tents and living quarters everywhere

They’ve only recently become the “place to be “. I have business there twice a year for the last decade. It’s a shell of itself, a once cool place destroyed. And it’s only getting worse.
