Manhattan Institute(@ManhattanInst):The great @HMDatMI responds to L.A. City Councilman Hugo Soto-Martinez calling the homeless "our neighbors": "The vagrants share no characteristics of neighbors. They're parasites on the efforts of the law-abiding, the stable, the hardworking to create a stable community. They contribute nothing to that community. They are colonizing public and private spaces in order to have an uninhibited, unregulated, unconstrained drug party that goes on twenty-four hours a day. They are violent. They are thieves. Yet we are supposed to believe that they are no different from the law-abiding, but for the fact that they are so-called unhoused."
