Good one, Roger! Maybe Alameda Park and some of the expansive front lawns in the Upper East could be opened to the needy shelterless? (“shelterless” being more appropriate sometimes than “homeless”.)
Maybe you should open your house or yard!
BDM – oh hahaha wow how original! Someone wants to help the homeless and you suggest they open their own home, implying they should take on a humitarian problem all on their own because they have the audacity to suggest others with the means to help should use a portion of their vast resources to lend a hand to helping those in need! What unique wit! Just adorable! Really.
A hundred bucks says these campers are suffering from substance abuse and/or mental health issues. Maybe force them to confront and resolve these issues, and they won’t be camping in a city park?
People are gonna keep moving to areas where the weather is nice, the residents are (comparatively) well off, and law enforcement is lax. As much as we all like to be “holier than thou” (and I’m included in that), the reality is that people that aren’t getting their basic needs fulfilled (think food and shelter on Maslow’s hierarchy) are gonna act animalistically. That is, doing what they can to survive and to seek pleasure, without regard to consequences of their behavior. Add in a dash of mental illness, and you cannot escape the calamity that these people inevitably bring… Until we address the bigger issues (income inequality, substandard education, overpopulation, etc), we will have to deal with the results of those issues…. And half-witted responses aside, it is a tragedy. If anyone ever wonders why the aliens don’t make contact with us? This is why… We’ve a LONG way to go….
Its just a suggestion calm down.
BDM – yeah….I’m sure that’s all it was
Ok high and mighty.
Meanwhile the poverty pimps have no suggestions and just keep collecting gov. grants to pay for their condo’s, new cars, clothing etc. You can always tell who they are by all the nice stuff they have. They blame the cities where they set up for homeless issues while they shove those donations in their greedy pockets…
“Broken Windows Policing” worked in the past. It was deemed everything negative from “profiling”, “unconstitutional” etc. from the liberal left… Basically, once neighbors and legit users of the parks (parents whose kids enjoy park, people who use a park as recreation) ALLOW loitering, drinking, drug use and let it get as far as “ownership” with tents, etc. your park is done. The riff-raff know there is very little actions from locals or cops to push them out…
Fence the parks. Close them at sunset. Let loose trained junkyard species dogs to patrol each park all night. Pick-up any miscreants being held by the dogs when the park opens. Arrest them and give them a job picking up litter and scrubbing off graffiti for a month. House them in barracks.
BIRD – Why should people that have achieved success in their lives, be punished by being forced to have bums camp in their front yards? Sounds like a little bit of sour grapes that you couldn’t achieve the same success in your life. And, they’re not “shelterless”, they’re bums and vagrants. As BDM said, “Maybe you should open YOUR house or yard…
Absolutely LUVADUCK, when we had insane asylums and workhouses for the poor they were contained and put to productive industry. But now that is considered too cruel, so they wallow in the parks and streets and endanger the law-abiding citizens. And when we look down into the encampments from the freeway we see the things they have stolen from our yards. We need to save ourselves from them, and save them from themselves.
LUVADUCK, my long lost brethren! Great suggestions! I’m NOT kidding!
