Your comment speaks to high level concepts but you didn't provide an the example to ground it to reality.

Like others have mentioned they aren't seeing these examples of core issues having impacts on their day to day lives/communities. I'm not either. When it comes down to it, laws written to apply to everyone are generally enforced for everyone.

Catching violent perpetrators pretty much always takes priority over non-violent theft. When we see acts of violence get immediate police attention it feels like the image you are trying to portay is inaccurate.

100% recommend a sphynx. Out of all the cats I've had in my life it was my favorite.

Seems like the delight dobby portrayed when he was freed would put that argument to rest.

Don't disagree but surely it's not impossible to add some regulations to protect the consumers here.

We have always subsidized having kids over those who don't. And honestly its the best use of our tax dollars. What do you think school is? Also, parents pay taxes before and after they raise children.

We have a lot of programs though. Maybe they aren't doing a good job marketing themselves. Were you aware of these? Or do you consider them insufficient or under funded?


Housing and Essential Needs (HEN): A program that provides rental assistance and essential needs like food and transportation to low-income individuals who are unable to work due to a disability.

Temporary Assistance for Needy Families (TANF): Offers cash assistance to families with dependent children to help cover basic needs, including housing.

Homeless Housing Assistance and Prevention (HHAP) Program: Provides funding to local governments and nonprofit organizations to develop and operate housing and supportive services for homeless individuals and families.

Rapid Rehousing Programs: These programs offer short-term rental assistance and case management to help individuals and families quickly transition out of homelessness and into permanent housing.

Emergency Shelter Grants: Funding provided to local governments and nonprofit organizations to operate emergency shelters and provide essential services to homeless individuals.

Section 8 Housing Choice Voucher Program: A federal program administered locally that provides rental assistance vouchers to low-income individuals and families, including those experiencing homelessness.

Encampments do not represent the entire homeless community. Those most visible encampments, littered with garbage and needles, are largely addicts or sometimes people with mental health issues.

Shuffling people around combats the street barricades and open air Fenty and gives respite to the communities that were hosting the camps.

No issues?

You guys must be doing it way better over there. Over the course of many years, 12,000 children have been sexually abused in some way while in the boy scouts of America program.

That was my issue with old school SymForums. I don't see that so much on reddit.
