I used to be pro legalizing weed, but the results are undeniable. Every single place that has legalized it has become measurably worse. This experiment has run its course.

Last week I talked about how Damian Newton had housing but was still living on the Safe Route to School. I have some new info. 🧵

The reason Japanese cities can have nice public bathrooms is bc the penalty for vandalism is three years in prison, the penalty for drugs in a public space is seven years in prison, and penalty for drug trafficking is life, all with 99% conviction rate.

The new hot trend with woke police departments is to describe unprovoked assaults and hate attacks as 'disputes' in order to cast aspersions on the crime victims. It's truly repulsive.

A friend is having problems with a homeless man setting up an encampment outside her home. He is violent when awake. Nearly 1/3 of LAPD is stationed in the Palisades due to the fires. It was already difficult to get the police to respond, now they are stretched super thin.

Sadly homeless-relates fires are once again relevant with @nypost reporting the #PalisadesFire was started by a vagrant.

40+ RVs have been parked illegally on PCH for over a year. They have generators, propane tanks & highly combustible items. Elected officials who refuse to move encampments put the public at greater risk, especially during fire season. The city is not following its own fire code

As I’ve said repeatedly: Engagement in obviously antisocial behavior in public settings—like playing music on a speaker when no one asked to hear it—is often an expression of power backed by the threat of violence. The punk with the speaker is daring you to say something, and

When transit is used as a homeless shelter, people with options or low risk tolerance are going to start driving. Use of transit as a homeless shelter directly, substantively harms its role for transportation.

A man was pushed onto the path of an oncoming subway train on the Manhattan subway today. One witness echoed a sentiment that I think is increasingly common. Americans want a crackdown.

@CrimeInNYC If you’ve been to Penn Station recently, when it’s cold outside there are homeless people sleeping on the floor everywhere. That corridor is packed with homeless people. They probably ran away after the fire started.

Allowing those who cannot care for themselves (often because of severe mental illness and/or drug addiction) to rot on the subways is neither harmless nor compassionate, no matter how good it makes progressives feel inside. It makes everyone in the subway system—including the

this is what our open toleration of street homelessness is doing to American cities - death spirals. Businesses and residents find the situation unpleasant or dangerous and leave, reducing the tax base, which reduces resources to fight the problem, which...

person who studies the "politics of smell" suddenly can't understand the *politics* of public transit becoming used only by the people who do not have a choice One thing american politicians, academics, media elites, all agree on is that public transit is charity for the poor

I don’t care about the crime rate and I don’t care about what’s normal anywhere else. Our cities being haunted by the mentally ill who randomly attack and kill innocent people is not acceptable and must change.

A year ago at the 34th St ferry terminal, I had to witness this very man, flailing about while he took a crap in full public view. The mentally ill homeless problem is not thousands of people but a few dozen known maniacs who shouldn't be on the street. https://t.co/E4D7Vemtlt

A knife attack against a student nurse in a Vancouver hospital. We let dangerous people with mental illness walk free among us. It is a deliberate choice by government. They need to be locked up. Save your sympathy for the victims. #bcpoli

Vancouver, which has served as a model for harm reduction, just did an about face and will be mandating people on the street who get arrested into drug treatment if needed. I almost can't believe it. Recovery is winning. 🧵

So there's this homeless guy I see a few times a week outside Center Park. Though I physically saw him for the first time last Monday. Until then he was always hidden and often twitching under a tarp. (thread)
