Do what San Antonio did.  Spend a couple million on a facility in Far East Austin that is equipped to receive the homeless and parter with local charities, church, community colleges and hospitals to

I realize hindsight is 20/20, but perhaps building a gigantic homeless shelter in the middle of downtown Austin wasn't the greatest idea ever.

I liked another comment where an RVer said now they have a way to get rid of their trash

Hell, they could dump their grey water on the sidewalk and proclaim “Shitter’s full!”

Violet?  Purple isn't good enough for Austin's highfalutin homeless?

That's the fucking inside joke from Council.  no conspiracy theory, no sarcasm.  None of that.  

There's a reason we have the Violet Crown Trail, the Violet Crown Festival in North-Central neighborhoods.  The nickname "City of the Violet Crown".  

This is their fucking laugh in the face of the very people who went along with these policies and initiatives.  But the progressive Austinites who trip over one another to prove who cares more about the homelessness cause...they literally are too thick to see it. 

I actually applaud Ann Kitchen on this.  She's a lot of things, but she ain't without a sense of humor.  Do some research you fucking children, purple is one of the more hazardous colors to make when it comes to plastic dyes.  It's impossible some of you are this stupid.

Ironically purple is also the accepted color for marking “no trespassing”.

Typhus Epidemic Worsens in Los Angeles | NBC Southern California
https://www.nbclosangeles.com/news/local/Typhus-Epidemic-Worsens-in-Los-Angeles-505166301.html

Article had this quote.

"You can't solve it (the typhus epidemic) until you hit the cause," says Estela Lopez of the Downtown Industrial Business Improvement District, "and the cause of it is that you still have these mountains of trash."

No, the cause it whatever is causing the mountain of trash.

What Mayor Adler learned about homelessness on his LA, Seattle tour

Steve Adler traveled to two West Coast cities to learn about what’s working and what isn’t when it comes to addressing homelessness.
 
 
so let’s go to the places where it is the most fucked up to take notes. 
 
He would have been better off driving his ass to San Antonio, but that’s a shitty vacation. 
 
Brown-nosing his Woke Coast heroes is a dream come true. He’s submitted his application.

Two homeless guys in the middle of North Lamar, attempting to fight. Had traffic stopped. One guy trying to stab the other with some sort of metal rod. I called 911 to get someone out there to get them off the road. My dash cam should have caught it. I will try to upload it. Good times.

You called the cops? You heartless monster.

Well, it's his fault.  Having a job, he provoked both of these gentlemen to justified bouts of outrage by not having one.  It's the least he could do.

Yep. Police came out and cited me for disturbing the homeless, and told me to expect a sternly written letter from the city council. Lesson learned.

Letting them battle it out is the compassionate thing to do.  Filming them so as to ascertain their identity and then deploy the proper services to their needs is the cold-hearted thing to do.

Well, in the "you can't make this shit up" (pun intended, I mean, can it get more perfect?) department, here's a map from 2 months ago where residents reported shit on the streets in San Francisco:
D4yNJVEWwAAB1bp.png
Granted this is a too-high slow curve, but I mean, really... apropos gonna apropos... Yeah it's over an 8 year span but why do I believe that many locations have had, let's say, their fill of multiple applications which would total, oh, about six feet of it if it were stacked together.  So yeah, it evens out, really...

I can't find a poop map of Austin but I assume we have a long, long way to go to get to this level of achievement.  But hope springs eternal..
