[T]he real issue is the lack of “affordable housing,” by which they mean housing that can be secured by someone with no means of support who is incapable of holding a job, or spends all their money on intoxicants. Since they have no homes with flush toilets, they use the streets. Good liberals with “Resist!” bumperstickers sulk over stories about typhus-ridden fecal deposits, and wish the one-party government would Do Something. Otherwise they will vote out the ideologically interchangeable politicians and put in some other ideologically interchangeable politicians.In a similar vein, "But Panera cares."
Permit this, forbid that
Since what's permitted and what's forbidden shows no persuasive pattern of effects that actually improve anything, I'm assuming it's largely the Leninist game of who/whom. James Lileks does a scorching job on crazy California approaches to the kind of social calamities we couldn't possibly interfere with lest we become callous tyrants, versus virtue-signaling bans on every kind of peripheral nonsense you can imagine.

This is why ds gives american patriots a credibility proble. Even when bush 2 is sincere in spreading demos, the world knows how many problems the cia created. While americans are sort of like lovable dunces. That image of bush 2 may have been a compliment compared to what people think of usa nato gettind rid of hood local leaders. Per diem.
In the first place, no Federal Officer up to and including the President has jurisdiction over a city's homeless problem.
Not that constitution restricts have ever worried candidates for President.
I encourage candidates to promise to open Federal Office Buildings (and the Federal employees' toilets) to the public. Including the homeless. I'd say "Post Offices" but I'm not sure the President has authority over the Postal System anymore. In any case, the biggest objection is that the public doesn't like having, or shouldering the burden to correct, pee and poop all over. But a "public" building is by definition open to all. Let the Federal employees and contractors clean up the mess.
See how that goes over with Public Sector employees' labor unions ...
