Austin Homeless Free for All Ordinance

good news is we are moving from camping to tenting.  everyone has used a tent before, what is wrong with tents?  why the hate for tents?

Casar is the prototypical central casting "community organizer" who has never done a thing other than activism.  I don't trust Wikipedia, but this looks pretty accurate about him from what I've read:   https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Greg_Casar

Well I know him a little personally and seen him at work when he’s not in public, and although I disagree with him on very many things he’s done more to help actual people in actual moments of crisis with no cameras present than anyone else in elected office in Travis county, or you or me.
You don’t have to like it and neither do I, he walks the talk.

If I wanted to generate votes in favor of the campaign ban, I would have paid some homeless folks a few hundred bucks to camp in the parking lot of Bartholomew Pool. That would be good for hundreds of votes alone.

What’s wrong with activism? Sounds to me like he lives his life thinking about the welfare of others. Same thing a Jesuit education tries to instill in students. Even in Dallas.

My wife goes to a Baptist church.  Quite a few are not fond of the homeless, and they look down upon them.  

But then there is another chunk of the church membership that is constantly rounding up socks, underwear, toiletries, dried foods, etc. and passing them out to the homeless at their "ministry under the bridge" or whatever.

It's really fucking weird, and a few times the pastor....hasn't quite shamed the first group, but he's made it clear they should doing a little more.

Every successful solution to homelessness seems to involve moving those experiencing homelessness into a form of permanent housing and providing them access to health and child care.

Some people want no part of that because it involves taxpayer money.

You can’t help people who don’t want to be helped. 
 

ban panhandling 

ban camping

ban sleeping in public place

fuck giving them something in return, any aid such as housing/health care is just a beacon for more to come. 
 

reality is nothing will fix homelessness. Just hope they go out of sight.

From the state of Texas:

”Numerous studies of urban systems across the United States show that when high‐cost individuals obtain housing, their use of public resources declines dramatically.2 Rates of arrest fall; emergency room use plummets; individuals attain employment; disabling conditions stabilize. On any individual’s path towards maximum independence, obtaining a stable place of residence is a fundamental step.”

Fair point, my only pushback is that I would have been find with a strong mayor with Watson, Wynn, and Leffingwell.  But only with the benefit of hindsight and comparison.  Now that Stevie Shitbag Adler is in office, I'd like a mayor who is as weak as possible.  Not like in the way that Steve Adler is actually mentally, physically, spiritually, politically, and ethically weak.  But like weak, weak.  You know what?  It should be called the Mayor Adler rule?  For spineless, corrupt cowards who don't want to have to battle City Council.  Also he's an immoral fuckbag who I hope rots in jail.

I was against lifting the camping ban in the first place, but I haven’t heard any of the politicos in favor of reinstating it say how they are actually going to enforce it.  That seems like an important part of the deal.

My guess is they will go by and warn them along with some sort of assistance like transportation or maybe a social worker to help move them.  After a some time the police will come by and give them another warning and repeat as needed until they’ve documented they’ve received X # of warnings and on the next one they will be detained while their camp is removed.  DPS cleared all the underpasses a little over a year ago with little fanfare so obviously Austin will make this a shitshow.

It’s not realistic to enact major policy changes with funding requirements from a citizen led proposition vote.  The city has had 2 years to make changes and they only purchased a few hotels that house less than 500 people.  This is the city’s failure not Save Austin Now...and no buying them bus tickets is not a real solution unless it sending them home to where they have family or other types of support.

A lot of the current homeless population came here from somewhere else. Just like it rapidly increased when Adler put up the “Welcome” sign two years ago. Word travels fast in any community. 
 

What a clusterfuck. So many ways to have approached this better and just a fucking fail. 
 

it really doesn’t matter your personal politics on this one. What Adler did was beyond dumb. It wasn’t compassionate and it was not helping the most vulnerable members of our society. Instead of helping homeless Austinites first and having success at that the city chose to compound the problem by not only not solving that first but inviting more people to show up. Fuck Adler.

again, there are countless examples of cities who have success in this arena—following SF and Seattle was a dumb fuck move.

Like I said, for me it is not about politics. It’s about the solution and doing what works. Haven for Hope in San Antonio has been successful. We basically started a grease fire with this mess.

It pisses me off.

There is a body of legal jurisprudence that requires the City to have shelter available before a criminal ticket may be issued.

I posted it upthread.

I assume that is one of the reasons the City acquired beds.

Y'know, Cabo Steve more or less rightly gets a lot of barfback on this, but "Li'l Casar" is the main culprit in this shitbag (now turbo-flushed) ordinance.  It was he in June 2019 who wanted to ramrod this thing through, despite some councilmembers' hesitancy, wanting to postpone the vote for at least 2-3 months to study more solutions. But Li'l Casar wouldn't have any of it.  He pushed it up for a vote, and in typical Casar fashion, pontificated while blaming it on leaders who, uh, had nothing to do with it in the first place.

"A stain on my conscience."  Aww, how poetic.  Sounds like Fitlump from the other side of the aisle.  Sanctimonious crap.  You don't think like I think?  You are morally inferior to me!  Bow to my moral GREATNESS!  Blow it out your ass.  Anyway Adler's getting all the shit, but it was Casar who steamrolled this thing in and the only comment he has so far is a blah blah blah roto-tweet on "we all want to get people into homes."  Duh.  He needs to be called out onto the carpet, too.  Greggy, that's not why people shot your little prop down; it was because they're sick and tired of the dirt, repulsive manners (remember when Greggy said it'll all be good, y'know, because aggressive panhandling (and assaulting people) is still illegal, and y'know the police will serve justice!  (I had a good laugh at that one). 

But the biggest irony is the jackass that rammed this through and croaked about "needing to fix it" hasn't fixed shit.  And all he could muster is some halfass tweet in the face of burying his activist ideas into the shit that's found in many areas now in Austin.

Again, Casar, sponsored this... While Adler went along for the love-ride.  Also, I love how he repeats the mantra at the time... "We haven't fixed everything yet."  Nor ever did.

My point is that Casar is a power-hungry faux saint - that his moral stances are the right ones, and there is no room for disagreement.  And if he has to shanghai the entire city to see his views manifest, well, that's just a product of the morally inferior either suffering necessarily to eventually make life fantastic, or the morally superior knowing how everyone else should act.  Even in this loss of his little experiment all he could muster was a clouded, self-egotistic filter which was another misrepresentation of why this idiotic ordinance went down in flames.  But he'll be back espousing another self-aggrandizing intolerant project soon, so he won't fail to deliver soon.

There are two kinds of homeless people:  those who need help and those who need a kick in the nuts.  I wish every day (especially when I drive by one of Casar's beautiful campsites) that both would get their just desserts.  But Casar did nothing, nothing with that dumbass ordinance except make himself feel better that his little utopian view of the world could happen.  And now its 10X worse than it ever was.  Casar for Mayor!!!

Austin’s tax paying residents did not have a vote when Asshat Adler and Caesar and the Austin City Council unilaterally made it lawful to camp in most public spaces 2 years ago. 
 

Adler and Caesar and their merry band of asshats ended a 23 year ban with zero solution in place. Homeless population in Austin has increased 45% since the ban was lifted.

Id wager most of us want to help these vulnerable citizens in the best possible most compassionate way. What he did was asinine. 
 

My friend’s hubby runs (poor choice of word) one of the largest public libraries in the Midwest. Before covid city leaders made sure all the librarians and staff had adequate Narcan on hand for overdoses. It’s total bullshit. and my friend is one of the biggest liberal hippies that exist in the continental US. She hates the whole policy of training staff for this. 
 

It’s absolutely essential to have a plan in place. I want to help those who want and need help the most. We chose poorly in this way and Adler and Casar and the Dipshits of the Round Table can  figure out how to enforce it since they created the fucking mess.
