Few things make me more sick than someone who has never and will never know the desperation, hopelessness, and cruelty of being homeless posting pictures of homeless people who make them feel uncomfortable.

@isaiah_bb @gayest_tone They’re not even bothering him, bro you’re riding a metro, there’s only a handful of people on the train, none of them are bothering you and you’re complaining?!? WTF? Does he actually live in a city? Is this his first time taking public transit?
@isaiah_bb Sometimes twitter transit/urbanists get it very wrong, this is def one of those times. I also dislike YouTubers doing this stuff. @Nerd4Cities always makes the great point that taking pics like this is exploitive, does nothing to help the issue, and is just plain mean.
@isaiah_bb The smell of those homeless guys is probably one of the few things that would make you sicker.
@isaiah_bb As someone who was homeless till he was 18 this type of discourse makes me physically ill. I just block them and move on, I don't have the stomach to wade into those conversations
@isaiah_bb I fell asleep in a mall once by mistake. I was woken up by security. The guy playing a phone game with gunshots at full volume was not talked too for the 10 or so minutes I observed him. I can only imagine actually being homeless. The unhoused deserve dignity.
@isaiah_bb Can't imagine ever doing this. "I want these people thrown off the train because they smell bad" the train is not your private limousine. And then to post it online? Aside from the optics this is just someone completely morally bankrupt
@isaiah_bb experiences momentary discomfort “this should be a crime”
@isaiah_bb On a related note, good on that representative dealing with the matter evenly instead of just escalating it to police to make the dude leave them alone.
@isaiah_bb urbanism is an inherently fascist field. it's civic eugenics.
