      And what else will I complain about when I go downtown? I want to be able to complain about how we need to clean the riffraff of the streets, but it gives me no joy if we’re actually getting them off the streets! I need something to fucking whinge about!

          Exactly. I fucking live downtown and I have more to complain about businesses that operate down here than the damn homeless.

          The only “thugs” I ever see downtown is the posse of ten cops it takes to shoo one homeless person out of a park.

            I also live downtown, and my primary issues are homeless stealing things off our front porch, the neighbors that think every night is a good fireworks night, and the 2 homes that previously had 6 scruffy lookin guys hanging out in front of them for months that are now in cinders.

      The bourgeoisie requires a risk of destitution to prevent the proletariat from rising up.

      If you were to start giving houses to the homeless, at least 50% of those houses would be uninhabitable within a year.
