    No, it’s cities. Many cities have their own ordinances that clear out homeless encampments. Rural folk didn’t institute those ordinances.

      They would if they had a proportional level of homelessness. Being rural doesn’t automatically make you good people. Rural communities treated vagrancy just as badly.

      We’re not disagreeing. I’m just pointing out rural towns don’t have the problem of homeless people creating tent cities because they don’t tend to have the services homeless people need to begin with.

      Because homeless people don’t move out to the fucking country. They’re not cats looking for somewhere to quietly perish alone.

        It actually is a problem in my semi rural town. There is a small city ~15 miles away with a lot more resources and there’s a handful of homeless who won’t go there, even when there’s a blizzard.
