1. Fuck This!

I'm contacting my local state rep and state senator to put an end to this crap. Vancouver WA was covered in homeless encampments in local parks and other public spaces until the Supreme Court decision allowed Vancouver and other municipalities to ban encampments in public spaces. They still exist, but instead of being in everyone's neighborhood, they're concentrated down by the Amtrak station.

Dems need to stop hiding behind the “Being homeless is not a crime." BS. No one wants to criminalize homelessness. What we want to criminalize is urinating and defecating in public spaces, creating mountains of trash, open drug use and trafficking, etc, etc, etc.
