San Francisco homeless sweep was cheered on by the right. It was also illegal

Reply in thread

Housing is just one aspect. Food, medicine,, paying for employees (social workers, security, medical staff) etc. But even if say 75% of that was for housing it's not easy to just say rent them apartments; first off not enough apartment buildings are willing to take them in. It's difficult to even find cheap motels that will work with cities to temporarily house the homeless even though it's guaranteed money. Cities are looking at building shelters but then it's NIMBY time. Without dedicated facilities with mental health, addiction, etc treatment which the US doesn't have homelessness will be a forever problem.

More Voters, Especially Women, Now Say Abortion Is Their Top Issue: Donald Trump is shifting his stance on reproductive rights, but voters, by a wide margin, say that they trust Kamala Harris on issue

I have a friend that thinks Democrats are anti abortion and will absolutely not change her mind. Literally every thing she cares about she agrees with progressives on but was raised demonizing Democrats and is vehemently Republican. It's ridiculous how entrenched the brainwashing is for people when they can't even recognize this stuff.
