@MayorAdler #Homeless fights everyday. Many are #MHMR & spend their mental checks on #drugs . They like this #lifestyle , & it's all by choice. All in the same boat #homeless,
#insecure , #depressed , #stressed , #bipolar , #schizophrenic ; plus, they're #smoking #K2. Their mind isn't right

@MayorAdler Those providing GOVERNMENT services to the homeless like failed accountability @caritasofaustin and those involved in what's dubbed the “ #HomelessIndustrialComplex ," are invested in hiding the truth.

@MayorAdler @caritasofaustin We must ask how misrepresenting or even lying about what is going on, on our streets, might benefit
some PEOPLE, some AGENCIES, or some SPECIAL INTERESTS.

@MayorAdler @caritasofaustin If we can pretend that everyone who's living in a tent on d sidewalk ended up there because of a “housing crisis” & rising rents, then we can dishonestly use that phenomenon of increasing numbers of homeless in order to put pressure on cities to build.

@MayorAdler @caritasofaustin ... to build more subsidized housing, expand rent control, & campaign for ballot measures for “affordable housing”, which have nothing whatsoever to do w/ the issues that resulted in the drug addicts & drug dealers sprawled out in public areas.

@MayorAdler @caritasofaustin So, telling lies about what is really going on,
in our streets, can benefit some PET DISCRETIONARY CAUSES in several ways.
