    The ACLU should host homeless people on their property.
    It’s not criminalizing poverty. It’s get off the sidewalk so people can walk. Get out of the park so children can play. The homeless defecate and urinate on sidewalks. Enough is enough.

    Interesting how the lady categorizes the sweeps as "criminalizing poverty". Does she think the laws to prosecute robbery and theft as "criminalizing poverty" also. What's wrong with having the homeless not break the law.

    The SUPREME COURT just announced last week that it is ILLEGAL to sleep on a public sidewalk. This allows each state to take action they deem necessary.

    It is unfortunate for people who have no place to stay for any reason, but it should be required to sleep in shelters if there is no place to go.

    imagine if the homeless was camping in their community or in front of their homes 😮
    , these sweeping needs to happen for the safety of the community and the homeless community, as far as where they are going once it's swept , that's something they will have to figure out because they don't want to go
    into these houses because of the rules and regulations they have to follow 😮

    The sidewalk is made for people to walk on so that the community has a place to walk on and preventing people from walking on the street. Homeless taking up the sidewalk is just a burden. People have to walk around the homeless encampment cause they parked there. More enforcement needs to be done. We need to have a clean beautiful city, a city that people want to enjoy and not have unsightly tents among the sidewalk taking up the center of the sidewalks.

      if your homeless hand have more than you can carry in one bag you have too much stuff,, I saw a homeless guy yesterday with 4 shopping carts of trash and smelly trash at that. Why should my senses be assaulted ever time i go to the store?

    Timestamp: 2:03 2:09 🎯 I'm slowly starting to feel the complexity of a give and take dynamic to negotiating conflicting interests that you can see and personally feel both sides for: personal safety/rights versus communal practices of compassion. It's tough to allow for that gray area to be harmonious when black and white thinking is necessary in defining law, structure, direction, and boundaries. Philosophically, how does one reconcile irreconcilable differences? We're all human but indeed, coexistence does not leave me feeling safe in places I once naively thought I could feel safe in?
