No offense taken. I’m listening to several different sources on this matter and trying to learn. Like Matthew K has said, it’s a complicated.

As of now I don’t have a strong opinion either way. However I am sympathetic to node operators not being forced to be a form of public storage for other people’s spam.

The news in San Diego lately has reported that a large percentage of county fires are caused by the chronically homeless. Not shocking news.

The other night they caught fire an old and abandoned home in a residential neighborhood.

A wound that will not heal.

Broadway and Tenth in downtown San Diego is a warren of forlorn buildings, and pot hole-filled streets. Society’s down and out fill the nooks and crannies.

Driving along the Tijuana - Mexicali highway one can see the border wall with the US meandering over the mountains.

A group of soon-to-be freshman tour San Diego State University (SDSU).

SDSU has massively built up and densified its campus over the last 20 years. Arguably it started with a new regional light rail stop in 2005.

The addition of more classrooms is slowly making more density, too; and the creation of an urban village along busy College Blvd enhances a once soulless area.

A few light rail stops west is SDSU’s football stadium, and the creation of housing around it is supposed to begin in earnest this summer.

Go Aztecs!

The San Diego River has been relegated to a glorified storm drain in certain parts of the city. Some groups are trying to restore the river, but the going is slow.

This previously abandoned structure was burned down after chronically homeless people broke in. Perhaps they created a fire for cooking or warmth?

The local newspaper called the San Diego Union tribune recently had an article in which they claimed 20% of all fires in San Diego County last year were caused by chronically homeless people.
