Too many cooks, no doubt…..
Cooking crack in a tent is one thing. Cooking crack in government housing, how many other tenants will burn?
Give em ponchos, and let em sit in the rain, don’t spoil em.
Camping too close to a dumpster fire will do that.
“Homeless Camps Keep Catching On Fire”
I’m not seeing the down side.
If it were the Guv’s mansion or a courthouse, you can bet a solution would be found…
A few hillsides in the L.A. area too, over the past few years. In fact dozens of homes burned because of homeless encampment fires.
It’s not a bug; it’s a feature!
Oddly, we don’t have that problem in SC.
The assholes running the Southern Calfornian city where I reside, won’t even make the connection between the homeless encampments and the brush fires that the homeless inevitably start.
Whenever there is a brush fire started by the bums at their encampments, the city calls it a fire “of unknown origin”. I guess it’s just a coincidence that these brush fires always start where the junkies have set up camp in a wilderness area near a bike path.
Pet peeve warning:
Sorry about the trivial nature of this but, in the entire history of ignition, nothing has ever “Caught on fire”. Things have caught fire and other things have been set on fire but nothing has ever caught on fire.
Nothing has ever happened “on accident” either.
Silly rant concluded
When you get panhandled, hand them a Bic.
Utterly unrelated note: If you stick a toothpick into a Bic just right and break it off, the thing will light but not go out when you take your thumb off the little striker button.
Burn them down to the pavement.
Does it make them smell better in the morning?
There should be yellow warning signs all over SF: DANGER – BUMS WITH BICS AHEAD.
