America’s cities are ratcheting up controversial ‘sweeps’ of homeless encampments, but still failing to find a solution: ‘We’re not trash, we’re people’

“The word ‘sweep’ that they use ... that’s kind of how it feels, like being swept like trash,” said David Sjoberg, 35. “I mean we’re not trash, we’re people.”

@weyoun6 @julia @kmontenegro It's really amazing how bad Americans officials are at thinking of obvious non-cruel solutions like public housing and #panelki.

It has also been *repeatedly* calculated to cost *less* than the current approach. So they're also gratuitously misappropriating and wasting public funds. So even from their *own* argumentation they should be removed from their offices.
