so many of the most heinous lashouts against homeless residents have taken place in Santa Cruz, San Francisco,
and other areas, with such widely misperceived thin cracking veneers of uber liberalism seemingly concealing the
elite violent jackbooted oppressors within.

American citizens having their property destroyed and their civil rights raped and murdered by local politicians doing favors for out of area investors and local developers. Facades of care are erected, and gobs of federal funding poured into small buildings. meant to house less than 70 occupants, while hundreds and thousands go without.
in no way replacing the hundreds of low and no income housing projects and motels that have been shuttered and bulldozed.

the horrendous, inhumane, internationally unlawful behavior of politicians and officials in our government at every level, as it applies to both homelessness, and poverty as a whole, is PROOF POSITIVE that this system is corrupt in every conceivable way, and our fellow citizens will continue to be treated the way we allow them to be treated, as long as we continue to allow it.
crossing your fingers and hoping for the best aint gonna get it.
