Ok but you're still attacking a point they didn't make.
Someone said the answer was homeless shelters. The person you're attacking said "homeless shelters aren't enough, you need more". They did not say "build anti-homeless structures instead of shelters"
Shelters solve the problem for many but don't do anything to help the type of person causing trouble. That's all they're saying.
That is not what they said
Ah yes, it’s difficult so let’s not start to deal with the issue.
The homeless don’t do this in every city, so it can’t only be the issue of mental health, every city would be like that if that were true. Why are your people going further than other places? Maybe because they don’t have access to the help they need….?
The problem is the homeless absolutely do need a place to stay and help, but people like you with this viewpoint aren’t going to let them get the help they need.
Problem is people like OP is referring don’t stay at shelters long as they generally require you don’t drink/do drugs/keep your area clean. A good portion of the homeless population aren’t just “down on their luck” they’re long term homeless/unemployed due to undiagnosed mental illness and substance dependence. There’s also a subset of them who are frequently belligerent so you’d need staff able to work around people like this, pay them adequately for doing so and pay for security. It’s usually not that simple an issue to address as anyone who’s been around homeless areas can tell you.
The answer is probably a homeless shelter.
It was quite dystopian.
But as a regular commuter through there I've seen a couple of examples of shit behaviour.
When cycling to work I've had a shopping trolley pushed in front of me deliberately at the last second followed by laughter when I nearly stacked it from swerving.
I've seen bottles thrown at people on scooters.
Not sure what the answer is. Maybe just switch it on at peak commuter hours?
“Schedule 5 has very serious implications,” Ms Shearer said. “This measure gives government officials power to strip benefits received through the social security and family payments system from a person subject to an arrest warrant, even though that person has not been convicted of any offence.”
Wtf, what a gem!
Why is everyone so hell bent on neglecting the fundamental tenets on which a peaceful, and prosperous Australia relies.
Do these politicians not understand the moral and practical principles behind due process and presumption of innocence?
Yeah, really feels like a 'keeping up with the jones'. I mean disrupt burrup protestors were probably the most consequential in the last few years here, and they've been pretty badly stamped upon by a quite authoritarian reaction from the cops. Not sure theres even a case here for more powers, but there you go.
Seems so unnecessary for Perth, all the protests I have been to in the last couple of years have been super peaceful and respectful.
“People who are leaving these comments, I don’t even think they know why they are mad.” Misdale said. “Its moved on from just being generic homophobic to stuff to ‘Go back to Israel'”.
The entertainer said they were at a loss to understand why they were now getting antisemitic comments given that they are not Jewish, and have never made any public comments in the conflict in the region or Middle Eastern politics.
After reading the article I found a link to this gem when I continued scrolling.
10,000 more people in the city is huge. That is so much larger than i ever imagined.
Also, hooli dooli i didn't realise, or i'd forgotten, WAAPA was moving with them. Having WAAPA right alongside Blue note theatre, Ledger theatre, down the road from His Majesty's and within spitting distance of a multitude of other venues, we could end up with a very rich live theatre and music scene. Maybe in time even our own kind of Westend.
Very exciting times for the city :)
No more fucking about with these 'land bankers' eminent domain, redevelop, i'm sick of waiting for people who have no interest or stake in the communities they're suffocating.
I think i know the part of the zoo it was in. Its a heat light room with only glass fences, maybe abdomen height, the turtles are near the entrance. I remember thinking its actually quite easy to get to the animals in there, although theres always a zoo keeper or two in there.
Its sad, because in that area you could feel really quite close to the animals. I expect they'll have to change things a bit now.
Guys relax, I’m just borrowing it for a bit. Mines in the shop.
Wtf! That's appalling. Hoping it's ok but fearing the worst given the black market for the shells...
Couldn't have been an easy heist though, damn. Hopefully the zoo ups it's security (although it's sad that they have to).
Is there supposed to be a picture or link in this post? It's not clear if this was a text post with no image or anything else. Thought you'd like to know in case you were trying to share a pic.

Some upcoming things. There might be other events called with little notice or promoted with little fanfare so you'd have to be watching every events page, signed up to every newsletter, following every handle to catch everything going on.
I could write many reasons but if you can’t immediately see why laying out sheets of plastic over sand and gravel is worse than a lawn i don’t think it’s worth arguing.
For what it’s worth I’m not sure it is better than concrete.
What's wrong with it aside of the shitty look? It is still better than concreting the whole front yard.
Oh cool, that community looks boss!
Wouldn’t surprise me. These plastic lawn people are lacking in grey matter.
You want to know what’s worse than a lawn? Plastic sheeting masquerading as grass. /c/nolawns@slrpnk.net is having heart palpitations.
@Lembot_0006 @Gorgritch_umie_killa Had no idea. Looked it up and yes, banned in my local council
I suppose you're mostly right, its a satire site, commenting on a practice that is a joke. So pretty correct there 😆
It's become such a problem in Perth that local councils are having to take action. Which is a joke all in itself.
