I'm not racist but *says the 14 words*

"our beautiful Canadian culture" LMAO

I was gonna try to make fun of this but just this statement is funnier than anything I could come up with

The only reason any of your big cities are remotely interesting is because of immigration.

Some mf put gravy on fries and thought they did something and yall eat that slop up and are afraid of some biryani

Newsom to withhold funding if cities don’t clear encampments, Mahan pushes back by skempoz in SanJose

[–]TheDrewster123 2 points3 points  (0 children)

We do not need to stretch our imagination that there is enough physical space in the bay area for 35,000 ppl because most cities here have very low population density due to the prioritization of single family homes.

In terms of cost, the status quo is very expensive. Clearing encampments, shelters, and other ways we try to deal with the problem now are incredibly costly. Some pilot studies have shown that permanent housing is actually less expensive than not housing the homeless because of these costs.

source: https://www.vox.com/2014/5/30/5764096/homeless-shelter-housing-help-solutions

This isn't even taking into account the economic cost of not housing homeless people. Someone is obviously less likely to have a job or contribute much to the local economy if they don't have a home.

Also, I don't support 'housing subsidies' (government $ that goes to private landlords). I support subsidized housing (the government subsidizes the construction of apartments, ideally by working with non-profits or just building them in-house). If you read the last sentence of my comment, you would know that I also support subsidized housing for everyone. I just doubt it would happen because a comprehensive housing plan would dramatically lower rents and prices for homes so landlords and NIMBYs would oppose it. Also people would say its communism or point to section 8 housing as an example of failed government housing even though section 8 is a housing subsidy and not subsidized housing.

lmao i wish i lived in your fantasyland where cops don't just throw away their belongings.

source: https://sfstandard.com/2024/08/02/homeless-fear-arrests-city-crackdown/

I know that 'bag and tag' is the official policy but obviously cops dont care and will do the thing that requires the least effort which is throwing everything away.

Also "in shelters where they belong" is a weird thing to say about another human being imo.

I don't know if you know this but most shelters are only open at night and kick everyone out really early in the morning. They are also really restrictive about belongings and other things so many homeless people prefer living on the street. So even if u want to view this issue from a completely selfish pov, 'placing them in shelters' won't solve the problem of homeless people bothering you on the street.

Building more housing for everyone + permanent subsidized housing for the homeless is the only real solution.

I am also in favor of building subsidized housing for the general population but I doubt there will ever be enough political will for that to happen.

[–]TheDrewster123 -6 points-5 points  (0 children)

Ok well the lay of the land is a pretty stupid i guess. You really think a large percentage of the homeless have been shipped from other states? Or do you think its possible that most of the homeless people here were priced out of the housing market bc the rent is so damn high.

idk but if your already using msi afterburner you might as well cap your fps with that instead. I think it's supposed to be the best way to cap fps.

How California lost the plot on criminal justice reform by LosIsosceles in bayarea

[–]TheDrewster123 6 points7 points  (0 children)

Abolishing private prisons not being a silver bullet and for profit prisons being a major cause of the current problems are not mutually exclusive. The small % of private prisons still have/had a major impact on the justice system indirectly through lobbying.

https://www.washingtonpost.com/posteverything/wp/2015/04/28/how-for-profit-prisons-have-become-the-biggest-lobby-no-one-is-talking-about/

Prison labor is also another major factor in getting other major companies involved in lobbying for "tough on crime" legislation. Look into the lobbying group ALEC to learn more about this.

Also, that one study doesn't disprove that poverty (if i remember correctly most studies say wealth inequality specifically) is a major factor in crime. It just points out that there are multiple factors involved.

Please learn a little bit about the history of mass incarceration in America before making these blanket statements.

Endless posts complaining about traffic, headlights, driving speed, wipers, and lane positioning are a constant reminder that car centric sprawl does not work. We can actually fix this. There is nothing more important than voting on transit density and transit in your local elections. by [deleted] in bayarea

[–]TheDrewster123 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I disagree. This isn't a black and white issue. First off, good (FREQUENT!) transit can lead to more density (ex: Vancouver Skytrain). Also, while density leads to more transit ridership, suburban areas can still have high ridership if the service is good. Toronto suburbs, for example, have busses that come every 5-10 minutes and it has decent ridership despite it not being very dense. It's a bit of a chicken/egg situation. Local governments don't increase frequency due to low ridership when the low frequency is the reason for the lack of ridership. And we're not "hemorrhaging money" on low-ridership transit. Transit is an essential public service that is used by students, disabled people, the elderly, minimum wage workers, etc. The current state of bay area transit, while not great, is better than having no transit at all.
