Do you know what moral foundations are?
Did I say it was?
Is it?
No doubt its absurd. I mean 250 K combined income there is solidly middle class.
It is a direct representation of its constituents.
Everyone with a median IQ or better is leaving that ■■■■ hole. What’s left over are the morons reelecting those monsters.

and what would you do. add to the homeless i guess.
better to house people than to let them roam the streets aimlessly.

What was done in the 90’s to clean up the streets that was successful?
“Under Republican Rudolph Giuliani, the homeless shelter population increased from 23,000 to 30,000 people. He adopted a punitive approach by restricting shelter access to 90 days, and proposed that the homeless be ejected for a minimum of 30 days if they failed to comply with administrative rules and social service plans; the administrative rules required the residents to complete workfare assignments in exchange for shelter (1). He even threatened to separate children from their families, and place them into foster care if the obligations were not met”
more homeless in shelters.
easy answer.

Well, there you go then. It worked then, it will work now.
And my post was about being a sanctuary city filling the hotels with illegals/migrants. I’d be much happier if they kicked them all out and replaced them with Americans in need of shelter and food.
NYC has a law to shelter all homeless.
since texas is bound and determined to send them to NYC.
they will be treated humanly and with compassion.
and housed.

Are they?
She should set this guy straight!
Dems don’t need solutions to poverty, they have vote harvesting scheme’s to keep them in power.
You’ll get who the DNC says you’ll get…Period!

This is pretty disgusting:
There’s nothing in the OP arguing that Republican states or Republican led towns are perfect places to live. It is a comparison of what was to what it is now. Here’s this perspective:
So here I am in 21st-century California, no longer able to take my little ones exploring natural areas as I did as a kid right here in Oceanside. All of the natural areas I roamed here as a child are now filled with drug addicts in tents.
Our hillsides have been plagued with environmental destruction from human waste and trash, and violence perpetrated by the inhabitants of the camps on each other.
And just because one can say that in certain respects that it’s not the 80’s or 90’s, that doesn’t mean we see things going backwards now. You all on the Left see these liberal politicians as just so ■■■■■■■ perfect that they never are to blame any of the ills in society.
Portland is more and more looking like the poster child for this:
Crime is an estimated factor in Portland’s population decline, with crime rates on the rise in recent years. Shooting incidents in the city have tripled from 2019 to 2022, with data from Portland’s Police Bureau showing 1,309 incidents last year compared to 413 nearly four years ago. Homicides have also climbed from 36 in 2019 to 101 last year, making it the deadliest year in the city’s history.
City leaders have faced pressure to address the large number of homeless encampments, another potential factor causing population loss. The homeless count in Oregon jumped 23% from 2020 to 2022, according to the U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development’s 2022 Annual Homelessness Assessment Report.
