    The point is that you went from 0-100 and implied that someone who clearly shows compassion towards the unhoused is calling for the bulldozing of tent camps, which is an extremely traumatic and sad thing that isn’t funny.

      Show me where they showed compassion? Here is their post:

      Well, there’s quite a bit more to it than that. An acre of land a hundred miles from a population center is essentially useless to someone without the money to build a dwelling with utilities or to obtain food

      Well no shit an acre of land 100 miles from anything is useless. But, there is land not 100 miles from anything.

      To which I said:

      Yeah, you’re right, bulldozing tent cities is the only reconcilable thing to do towards the homeless with money and skilled labor. Anything else is simply too complicated

      Because we’re currently doing that. We’re currently spending money bulldozing tent cities. All because spending money on other things is too complicated.

      We could find land closer than 100 miles to something, wouldn’t be too complicated. We could use money to provide aid to homeless rather than fuck over homeless, equally not complicated.

      But also, to just try to shut down any idea that aids homeless, as opposed to the current stuff we’re doing, not productive, right?

      Anyone with compassion would rather daydream about solutions as opposed to attempting to condone the current status quo, which is making homeless people’s lives even more of a living hell than what it currently is

      Edit: I also didn’t say they were all for bulldozing tent cities, I just pointed out that that’s what we’re doing right now with resources and money, so alternatives are likely better, and do shrug and point out the unfeasibility of any alternative is counterproductive

      Also, on top of you explaining why they’re compassionate, I feel I deserve an explanation as to why you think I’m not.
