Welcome to c/news! Please read the Hexbear Code of Conduct and remember... we're all comrades here.
Rules:
-- PLEASE KEEP POST TITLES INFORMATIVE --
-- Overly editorialized titles, particularly if they link to opinion pieces, may get your post removed. --
-- All posts must include a link to their source. Screenshots are fine IF you include the link in the post body. --
-- If you are citing a twitter post as news please include not just the twitter.com in your links but also nitter.net (or another Nitter instance). There is also a Firefox extension that can redirect Twitter links to a Nitter instance: https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/libredirect/ or archive them as you would any other reactionary source using e.g. https://archive.today . Twitter screenshots still need to be sourced or they will be removed --
-- Mass tagging comm moderators across multiple posts like a broken markov chain bot will result in a comm ban--
-- Repeated consecutive posting of reactionary sources, fake news, misleading / outdated news, false alarms over ghoul deaths, and/or shitposts will result in a comm ban.--
-- Neglecting to use content warnings or NSFW when dealing with disturbing content will be removed until in compliance. Users who are consecutively reported due to failing to use content warnings or NSFW tags when commenting on or posting disturbing content will result in the user being banned. --
-- Using April 1st as an excuse to post fake headlines, like the resurrection of Kissinger while he is still fortunately dead, will result in the poster being thrown in the gamer gulag and be sentenced to play and beat trashy mobile games like 'Raid: Shadow Legends' in order to be rehabilitated back into general society. --

Californian homeowners did this to themselves.
Oh, housing should be a luxury for the rich only? Then stop complaining about homelessness. That’s what happens when something becomes exclusive: less people have it. You asked for this because you wanted to be feel rich.
What’s next? If you’re not a member of an exclusive country club you’re a criminal?
But sure, keep eating up your unearned stack of cash you filthy pigs. Hope it was worth it.
It's the whole West Coast. BC Canada is about to elect conservatives who are going to push through mandatory or "involuntary" treatment for addicts and people with "mental health issues" and by that they mean poor people who are visibly struggling to find housing to be weird and do drugs in. They're not going to send their alcoholic and neurodiverdent friends and family to jail as long as they don't suffer publicly. It's only for the homeless and the working poor living out of vans and motorhomes and tents because they've been priced out of the fucking rental market by short-term rentals and tourists and small boom economies of scale.
Who knew that making basic human needs into luxury items would displace huge swaths of society. Idk... I learned about shelter being one of the basics in grade school... But obviously it's not profitable to make sure everyone has their needs met.
