the biggest news story is how can the city allow something like skid row to exist.

@orionhauk2968 11 дней назад

Because a lot of people are financially benefiting the longer people are homeless and the more people become homeless. The affordable housing complex industry is manipulating our society so that there is a huge demand for state-sponsored, taxpayer funded housing. Nonprofits, partners, and government agencies not only benefit from high salaries and retirements but act as a hub for profitable vendors in the homeless services industry.

@chiarosuburekeni9325 11 дней назад

At the end of the day the city will actually punish the moving company and let the show go on at Skid Row.
