The post is not just about calling people derogatory names, it is also about flying a drone with a voice message. When push comes to shove, the voice message is a threat of calling the police. Where are the crackheads going to go now ?
They have no other place to be. So asking them to leave is just asking them to go to a new place, and then a new place after that and so on, while each day some of them die due to cold, violence and other accumulating factors.
This is a systematic issue, and we need to fix the system and be compassionate, rather than just push poor people around.

I agree, but you’re getting mad at the symptom of the problem, not the root.
We should definitely get rid of “crackheadness”, but I think we should do it by building a better system and supporting each other.

Most people, who call other people “crackheads” have not seen those people take drugs. They use the word because of how the other people look.
Being called a crackhead more often than not means “looks like a homeless person”.
- Comment on Anon gets rid of crackheads 6 days ago:
Not necessarily, but it is often used as a derogatory word about homeless people.
Whether it’s perfectly synonymous, my point still stands about respecting the humanity of other people

What a dehumanizing way to talk about homeless people :/
People you know, and yourself, could become homless tomorrow. This dehumanization leads to violence against homeless people.
They’re people too and they deserve a place to be. The solution to homelessness is not just moving them to another side of town, but among other things reducing the cost of apartments and houses.

I think this is referring to mowing the lawn ?
Isn’t it better to let it grow and encourage biodiversity ? :)

sex workers deserve to get paid for their work - if you can find a way to pay them directly, that’s perfect :))
