Good, it should not have passed. I’m all for doing something for the unhoused, but this isn’t the solution.

How about we make temporary lodging in the fenced off lot in front of the bus/train station?

[–] Elaine@lemm.ee 2 points 1 month ago (1 children)

I think we need multiple solutions with provisions for temporary lodging being part of it. It’s not ideal but with rent so expensive it’s inevitable people will be forced outside.

[–] blindbunny@lemmy.ml 1 points 1 month ago (1 children)

Agreed! Any ideas as to get these things done?

[–] Elaine@lemm.ee 2 points 1 month ago (1 children)

IMHO it starts with the belief that housing is a basic human right.
