This is getting old

The Big Bad Wolf Routine Is Getting Old

So the big bad wolf caved in on the homeless.

He didn’t blow their tents down — for now.

And of course he waited until Friday, the very last day, to make the decision, the day Frank Kane promised. Because that’s how this whole operation works: drag it out, stall, pretend it’s complicated, blame on others, then act like the last‑minute scramble is “leadership.” 

Maybe someone finally found their phone and passed along the message. Who knows anymore.

This whole topic is worn out and run by idiots. Seriously — why can’t the people running things come up with a plan that stops the same stupid decisions from happening week after week? It’s like the entire administration is stuck on autopilot, and the autopilot is broken....actually the entire administration is just not "showing up".  

When I say “idiots,” I mean the whole decision‑making structure — All 7 Council members, 1 Mayor, 1 Managing Director, 1 Public Works Director, 1 CED Director, Solicitors office, the Finance Director just because she doesn't have answers. Half the time nobody ever has answers. And homelessness isn’t going away, no matter how many times they pretend it will.

My suggestions are simple. There are only three because there only need to be three:

1. Leave them the fuck alone.

2. Put a dumpster and a portable toilet at their site.

The rule is simple: keep it clean. No trash, no mess. If the area gets trashed, they get moved. And if they keep trashing sites, they keep getting moved.

3. Find a plot of land and let people stay there.

Tents, tiny shelters, whatever. One location. One place where outreach workers can actually help instead of chasing people all over the city.

Why is this so difficult?

It shouldn’t be.

Evicting people with barely any notice — especially when they’ve been in the same spot for a long time — is just wrong. It’s not strategic. It’s not compassionate. It’s not even efficient. It’s just lazy governance pretending to be action.

Ignoring homelessness isn’t just negligent — it’s cowardly. A city doesn’t crumble because people fall on hard times. It crumbles when the people in charge decide those lives aren’t worth the effort.

If leaders can’t acknowledge the people who have nothing, they don’t deserve the authority to manage anything.
