    What a dehumanizing way to talk about homeless people :/

    People you know, and yourself, could become homless tomorrow. This dehumanization leads to violence against homeless people.

    They’re people too and they deserve a place to be. The solution to homelessness is not just moving them to another side of town, but among other things reducing the cost of apartments and houses.

        Not necessarily, but it is often used as a derogatory word about homeless people.

        Whether it’s perfectly synonymous, my point still stands about respecting the humanity of other people

    Always keep a couple crackheads. Also, make sure you filter your crackheads. You want the ones who’ll help you clean your garage for $10, not the ones who will clean out your garage for about $10 down at the pawn shop.

    Promote a positive environment, help turn the crackden into a crackhome.

    I lived in a run down part of town a few houses down from a crack/coke distributor in college and once a friend locked himself out of the car. Before we could even panic someone popped out with a hanger and opened it in like 30 seconds. Crisis averted!

    Also got pulled over on my own street regularly though (“you looked nervous”) and my dad almost got arrested when he was dropping off plants (cacti and flowers).
