A Boring Dystopia

Don't worry the states are working on that as fast as they can. They're making it a civil fine to "camp" in the wrong spot. Then you also get relocated to a shelter that has a limit on what you can bring in, including a ban on animals. If you resist at any point you end up in prison. So you have to just take losing your only companion and half of your belongings in stride. Also though, if you go to prison you lose all of your stuff. So they release you thirty days later (in the blue states) and your penniless, your dog has hopefully been adopted by someone else, and you have no clothes to survive extreme weather or any other property you need to function. So you can either die in the middle of the night to cold weather or take up that drug dealer on his offer of employment. Which ends up with a larger prison sentence down the road.

The fact that people don't see this cycle is infuriating to me. All they see is a sidewalk that doesn't have tents anymore and they cheer. They don't care that they've permanently destroyed the lives of everyone who lived there.
