As homelessness grows, the hate of homeless people will continue to grow. Venice, for example, was already at a tipping point. Many residents were already angry. COVID-19 is increasing homelessness and unplanned burdens to NGOs. It feels like it’s going to explode. 1/
2/ I spent some time searching social media. The negative NIMBY chatter is growing. They don’t care the cause. They just want homeless people gone NOW! After HHH and other failures, they don’t trust anything besides criminalization, which fits their beliefs on homeless people
3/ probably three years ago, I starting saying LA needs a crisis response. The increase of newly homeless people was growing while housing solutions were taking too long. Now, it’s terrifying. If leaders are saying they are not frightened to the bone, they are not being honest!
