This is a good thing. Everyone seems to ignore the worst part about homelessness: homeless people, shelters, and their encampments devalue the homes and properties of homeowners in the area. So as soon as a homeless shelter is built on your block, boom your property's value is now cut in half. This is a huge problem and ruins many people's financial investments.

I agree that the governor's efforts to remove homeless encampments is a good thing.

But the worst part about homelessness is the quality of life for homeless people -- full stop. Framing the problem of homelessness as a financial burden of much wealthier property owners dehumanizes the people most affected by homelessness and perpetuates the lack of effort to address the problem.

Sorry but they dehumanize themselves. It's like natural selection except our society has not selected them. They do not fit in, and effort should be put into a systematic way of removing these people. I know it sounds heartless, but we can't keep spending tax dollars on people who can't help themselves.
