Rice Military is not the freaking heights…….
@cmoney: Thanks for catching that! We’ve fixed it.
What, exactly, is the upside to lengthening a car wash?
@Skeptic – There probably is a thrill in hoping that the guide track doesn’t break down when you’re in the middle of the tunnel, forcing you to fight your way out.
The federal government can force you to leave a homeless camp in place? So if some homeless setup camp at an intersection right across from you, start cooking there, crapping on the street, sleeping, setting up beds, etc. nothing you can do about it?

Seems crazy even if you’re a liberal.

I’m all for helping the homeless but you don’t do that by letting them setup a freeing “housing” project on whatever public space they want.
Cody, I know you’re at the opposite end of the state now, but have you ever been up to San Francisco? “Homeless” is like a protected class there. They actually have to debate whether it’s okay for a guy who was beaten by a panhandler for not giving him any money to hold said panhandler in a citizen’s arrest.

Note: this is not the appropriate response either, unless you are physically attacked and have no other options:

Cody, conversely isn’t the question why can the government arrest you for being homeless and, for some people, what could they do to rectify that situation? The solution to both questions appears to be the middle ground: to bar encampments that pose a public health risk but not to empower police to arrest homeless people who do utilize temporary structures.
