@nbcbayarea: San Jose Mayor Matt Mahan is proposing a "neighborhood quality of life unit" to respond to a variety of municipal code violations and prioritize enforcement of no-encampment zones. #homelessness #homeless #sanjose #sanjosecalifornia #bayarea
We should be able to come up with other solutions as a society. Its not necessary or useful to arrest those thay refuse shelter. Are there really no other options? Other countries dont lock up the homeless with thw criminal. Why are we? It’s wrong.

Shelters often have rules like only one night stays, often don’t have the accommodations for certain disabilities, and most of them do not allow homeless people to take their pets. this is elitism-fueled cruelty at its finest.

San Jose needs to do better. Some of these homeless people don’t need to be in jail. They need mental help. Why are you gonna put a mental person who has mental issues in jail that ain’t gonna work? S

In 1981 President Reagan cut the budget for mental institutions in California, and also eliminated 40,000 beds in State mental hospitals.

these comments are concerning. there are so many reasons why someone might "refuse" shelter. throwing them in jail is so dystopian. homeless people aren't your enemy.

I wrote a proposal for an initiative similar to this plan 4 years ago for my political science course. Compassion without truth is ineffective and actually keeps people in the state they’re in.

It has to happen. Thank you. People that are fighting to keep them in the street care more about their self righteous than getting them help

If they don’t care about getting going to jail, what makes you think that this will get them motivated to live in a home.

the problem is the NIMBYs who weaponize environmental protection laws to keep more housing from being built
