Where are the homeless supposed to go?

Cities have been cracking down on homeless people so they can’t have encampments or stay on sidewalks. At the same time usually the shelters are full. So those who are unable to get into a shelter, where are they supposed to go?

Why are Christians always the only group mentioned? I don't disagree that many so-called Christians act anything but Christian like, but that's the same for all religions. Check out Lakewood, NJ where the Jewish community cut down all the trees so the homeless people wouldn't hang out in the shade. People of all kinds suck.

Well, if you haven't noticed, we're in the middle of an architected christofascist takeover that's been 40+ years in the making

The supreme court is mostly christian fundamentalists/white nationalists resulting in the overturning of Roe v Wade and now other civil rights cases are being targeted, southern states are trying to push legislation requiring the ten commandments to be posted in every classroom, the current president hides behind the christian god as a convenient excuse when it suits him like when he wants to violently detain anybody that isn't white, etc

At this point, to point elsewhere and go "but what about the jews/muslims/whatever in this one specific local community" makes you look insane

Muslims? Because I grew up Christian observing them help exactly zero homeless while they instead bicker about how to spend tithes, and currently live outside of Dearborn where I understand helping the homeless to be integrated into both the culture and religion

But hey, if you have statistics or some kind of source for your statement that Christians help the homeless more than any other religion or dedicated charity, I'm happy to look at it

Because it sounds like bullshit
