Austin Homeless Free for All Ordinance

[Guest Lobo]

I dunno, multiple central Austin precincts are 55% for Prop B and higher. 

[crash_davis 23,114]

I read that map as the mostly white middle class liberals emphatically said enough is enough. 

As a politician in this city, when you lose the left of center middle class, you probably fucked up.

so...voters less likely to encounter actual homeless (on the outskirts) were more likely to vote for it than those inner city who are more likely to encounter homeless in their actual neighborhood...is that right? if so, that's interesting.

The only clear trend I see is west of mopac hates camping hobos. Everything else is mixed.

And the race car drivers in Elroy are sick of panhandlers at turns 3, 7, 10, and 21.

I think the bi-partisan nature of the vote has them scared. They've had years to come up with a plan to "fix" the homeless issue. They passed a Welcome sign, proposed to buy a few buildings at way over market value, and that was fucking it. They watched their actions turn a beautiful city into a shithole and still did nothing. 

The people said fuck you, we've had enough. And NOW they are finally proposing at least something that doesn't fuck taxpayers out of more money.

Fuck these assclowns. I want to vote every fucking one of them out of office.

They created an environment that somebody like fitlump could get elected. Her whole platform was basically fuck these tent cities and it worked. That alone should tell you how badly the city "leaders" fucked up.

We just voted all of the incumbents out of office in Leander who effed up our water situation. It felt good. Very very good.

I was astounded that ~66K voted against the idea that their fellow humans shouldn't be allowed to just camp out wherever they want, trashing public and private spaces, shooting drugs, shitting wherever they please, setting fires, etc.

But then some feckless hipster wanders in here without a modicum of coherent thought and starts babbling about dick size and karens and race baiting and it makes more sense now.  He's the modal denizen of those darker blue precincts.  

[Deej 76,855]

If things had only been applied equally, maybe I would have voted against it. Just because I have a home, that shouldn't preclude me from shitting, and throwing all my garbage, in the watershed.

I still want to know how they coordinate which intersection different homeless occupy to harass drivers at stop lights. Do they have a homeless all hands on deck meeting at the end of the day? Before the work day?

Me too my man.  I've been in the business of helping them and it's a soul crushing beatdown.  They used to be the majority of homeless in ATX, but no more.  They are a subset.  Most are professional homeless people who are as I've described above.  They aren't that hard to spot and they deserve zero mercy, compassion, and least of all our dollars.

Yeah I see a lot of those ablebodied crustpunk dudes panhandling, littering, heckling pedestrians, just being shitbags in general here. People I know that work in hospitals say they're some of the meanest & ungrateful patients they come across. It sucks because their assholery stigmatizes the homeless that truly need mental healthcare & a helping hand.

Along those lines, if Twitter is any indication, the bitter enablers want to punish the precincts that supported a camping ban by giving them homeless shelters/hotels. And apparently, this ban is repeating san fran's mistakes from decades ago.

San Francisco’s problem is that it is a municipality taking on a regional - even national - problem. Certainly, San Franciscans deal with homelessness, but in general the city is taking in homeless from other parts of the state and country. Many trace this back to California’s significant mental health budget cuts in the 80’s. Likewise, I imagine the majority of homeless in Austin are simply there because they were drawn to an easy place to be homeless. 
 

It has never made sense to me why homeless drawn to SF or Austin need to be provided housing in SF or Austin. These are extraordinarily expensive cities where even high-income households struggle to afford housing. We need to reframe homelessness as a state and federal issue as well, and not solely a city one.

So, Community First is building 1,400 new housing units for the homeless.

Oh, and unlike the city, they have a plan...”MLF's expansion is a significant step in the organization's "10 Year Plan to Miti­gate Homelessness in Austin" that it first shared publicly in 2017, which aims to produce 1,000 homes...”

That’s roughly 50% of our official homeless population. Of the remaining 50% what percentage are those that don’t want to be homed?

This is good. This is an actual solution and one that I’ve said should have been expanded on, which it appears it now is.

[Dbeasy 15,074]

I continue to be stunned by the fact that 42% of the population believes that endless camping in public areas is a better decision than actually trying to do something about the problem. And even more stunned by those who believe any person, regardless of their circumstance, should be housed by the rest of us. It truly is an Ayn Rand dystopian moment for the City of Austin and an extremely dangerous mindset for this country
