The Oldest Man posted:beep boop risk of failure to care for self detected, lethal force is now authorized In a first of its kind pilot program, Better Help and IBM have partnered with San Francisco police to utilize facial recognition software and real time AI analysis of legal and financial records to identify those in need of help and automatically enroll them in Better Help services and highlight those delinquent on their subscription appointments and fees for corrective action. Gov Newsome is hopeful the $5.7 billion, 10 year exclusive public private partnership will pay big dividends on the property crime and homelessness crises that have plagued his state and derailed his Presidential ambitions.

given how unaffordable it is to live there and how fast the market for full stack fart app developers is collapsing, i bet someone who worked on that app is going to have it turned on them

it appears CA Prop 1 is passing. this gives me pause, since it was amended to include involuntary commitment(?) i think this may be the beginning of earnest "forced removal" of "visible poverty" in urban centers. the endpoint of course being huge labor camps in the desert filled with an increasing number of economically abandoned, destitute americans, citizens and all.

Yea prop 1 is all about taking money away from local sources, tying the money to care courts, which can force people into involuntary treatment for those deemed mentally ill. I wouldn't call it the first step in the cities effort to reduce visible poverty that grew during Covid. I would say Care+ sweeps, 41.18 zones, and Inside Safe are all part of the effort to reduce visible poverty. It certainly is a step in that direction, very concerned what we will see if Martin v Boise gets overturned.

Ok how about section 8. Would more of that help?

Section 8 isn't amazing in my opinion. It depends on landlords, who are trash and often discriminate against the poor. I have known several unhoused people who have had section 8 vouchers for over a year. They often can't pass the credit test that landlords require. Even if they are fortunate enough to get in to section 8 there are no wrap around services. So if you do have a disability, mental illness, addiction, or just unresolved trauma you don't have any help addressing them and that can often result in people landing back on the streets. Section 8 is better than nothing, but your not going to market your way out of a problem created by the market. Thats why i am such a strong believer in public housing, its the only way i see to make housing a right.

Don’t forget that section 8 uses the mechanism that is the only way it’s possible to give services to people and there’s no other way to distribute services it takes public money and gives it to private entities (landlords) and assumes the problem is solved

Is there anything to do right now besides hold on to what you can? Wait for momentum to shift again? Or are there counterinnovations. Fairbanks has laws preventing government telling people they can't burn trash. Maybe there could be laws against restricting freaking helping people

the ny media is doing a big push against squatters now with a bunch of scare stories as some new law is on the table to make squatters rights only applicable to lapsed tenants and not just anybody in a house for 30 days with/without permission
