I’m interested in hearing people’s arguments on both sides. To me the measure just seems unnecessary.

“no we should take care of them, why do we have 5 vacant homes to one homeless person in this country.?”
Well of course we should force them off the streets … that takes care of the problem right? I mean really people, pay attention here! We just shut down all the “massage parlors” and that ended prostitution! We have been cutting support benefits and relief payments for the last couple years and look! No more poor people! All that’s left is people who won’t work or are lazy and … well to be blunt, they should just suck it up and die so they stop making me feel bad when I pass them on the corner. And by the way, if they can’t or won’t die they should quit coming to MY neighborhood and hanging around the parks and such, they’re bringing my property value down and my teenagers are scared to go to the park. Why can’t these “others” just stay out of my sight so I can get on with my consuming and my safe job, in my quiet neighborhood with my illusions that everyone on the planet can “have it all” if they only were more like me.
