Keith Barber+Follow6 more states banned so called "junk food" ๐West Virginia, Florida, Colorado, Louisiana, Oklahoma, and Texas -- apparently banned "junk food." In 2024, there were 771,000 homeless people in America, and I seriously doubt that number has dropped. Now add in everyone else who just doesn't have a way to cook a solid meal. Are these folks just supposed to starve? Live off raw vegetables? Eat raw meat? Am I seeing this wrong? ๐ค๐ง๐ฎโ๐จ #JunkFood #SNAPBenefits #FoodInsecurity #Homelessness #UnpopularOpinion #FoodPolicy #Poverty #RealTalk #AskTheCommunity221204Share
Hannah Garcia+FollowWhy ignoring homelessness hurts us allLiving in a city where public disorder is brushed aside comes at a real costโone that impacts everyone, not just those experiencing homelessness. Itโs easy to say we care about compassion, but when our neighborhoods feel less safe or welcoming, it affects daily life for families and businesses alike. The real challenge is balancing public order with real, evidence-based solutions like Housing First, which actually help people get back on their feet. If we only focus on tough talk or performative policies, we miss the chance to create lasting change. How do you think our community should address both public safety and compassion? #Safety #Homelessness #PublicSafety160122Share
