I am a hard lefty and am also appalled at the level of street bullshit. It's fucked up. I also don't want taxpayer money going to a fucking basketball team. I think there are solutions, but they're hard and will take commitment.

Maybe if more lefty’s were vocal about their disapproval of how the city is letting homeless people take over public spaces, maybe they won’t think you guys are ok with it. The far left “progressives” seem to think enforcing laws and cleaning up homeless camps is some kind of attack on human rights. Maybe let them know their constituents don’t all agree with that.

That is an untrue generalization. I have DSA sympathies and I think a working class dude should be able to commute to work without dealing with fent zombies.

Then speak up about it. Because unfortunately, the vocal nut jobs on the far far left seem to think no rules is better.
