Democratic socialist congressional candidate defends calls for homeless people to occupy vacant homes
2022-05-29
[FOX] Rebecca Parson, a Democratic socialist running for Congress in Washington State, defended her campaign video where she encouraged homeless people to break into vacant homes across the country to help her advance a potential housing bill if elected.

In an interview with Fox News host Jesse Watters on Thursday, Parson, a member of the Democratic Socialists of America,
...the political arm of the communists. Of course they want to remove barriers to their militant arm overthrowing the government...
who is running to represent Washington's 6th Congressional District, defended her controversial campaign ad, but clarified that she was referring to empty houses owned by banks and "corporations like Zillow and BlackRock."

"I’m just pointing out the fact that there are 600,000 homeless people in this country, 40,000 homeless veterans and one in five homeless people are kids. Meanwhile, we have 28 empty homes for every homeless person," she said on "Jesse Watters Primetime." "So I’m calling on all of us to think about the empty homes that are owned by corporations like BlackRock, like Zillow, like the banks, that are owned by those companies, those large corporations and not being used for what they’re intended for, which is actually housing people."

#7  But study after study tells us just over 1/2 of the Homeless chose to be or prefer to be on the streets.

Those be the ones that reject the usual requirements of no recreational drugs and no alcohol for the effective programs. Thank the judiciary for striking down vagrancy laws of old.

#4  Let's make real estate affordable by making it worthless. The best part of Marxism is the part where the poor people discover they are worse off than they were other than having more company.

I am sure many of us would be there to provide a Leg Up if the person is down on their luck and just needed a some temporary help.

But study after study tells us just over 1/2 of the Homeless chose to be or prefer to be on the streets.

A majority have serious Mental illness or drug and Alcohol issues.

FOOD FOR THOUGHT
The 5 areas with the most homeless in the USA are:
District of Columbia,
New York,
Hawaii,
Oregon,
and California.
These 5 make up 45+% of the entire US homeless population.

ALL long time controlled and ran Liberal Socialist Democrat Cesspools

The Homeless Numbers mimic the Bird Feeder Analogy
