Rich, Delicate Egotists in Palo Alto Ban Living in Car


People in Palo Alto were so outraged that they had to look at the ugly reality of homelessness that instead of helping people, they banned living in cars. The consequence for living in your car is jail time and/or a $1,000 fine - an impossible amount for a person living in their car.

The sensibilities of the rich and privileged are so fragile that just seeing something unsavory, something uncomfortable is enough to demand their comfort be accommodated. They don't expect the same for the people in the cars, no. The comfort of the unfortunate doesn't matter to these deplorable, self-minded egotists.
Palo Alto, you are a bunch of delicate, heartless, self-important, inhumane debutantes, swimming in a sea of shameful inhumanity. You've done nothing but rain your ruthless, grotesque, self-minded behaviors like acid on everyone but yourselves.

Instead of burning the already injured with your aggrandized social vinegar, why don't you put on your big girl panties and feel the feelings associated with seeing another human being unhoused. Maybe then you might be compelled to actually do something to address the problems of homelessness.

Or will your little baby panties continue to ride up your crack?
