The Texas Department of Transportation recently tackled the task of clearing up underpasses to keep them safe not only for those camping underneath them but drivers who might not otherwise see the inhabitants.

Deputies with Harris County Precinct 4 Constable’s Office recently assisted Texas Department of Transportation crews in clearing underpasses along State Highway 249 and FM 1960.

“This is an ongoing issue that puts not only the persons living under the bridges at risk but it is also a concern for the safety of the citizens,” the Constable’s Office reported.

Sweeps serve two purposes: to displace the houseless while destroying their possessions or to find ‘cause’ to make arrests.

Facism has no heart. Do you?

Stop allowing the ruling class to propagate their evil criminalization of poverty thru your paper. Explain to me how a camping person under an overpass can in anyway effect the vehicle traffic above them? That’s utter nonsense and your editors know it.

What happens to those people Where do you place them? TxDOTHouston LinaHidalgoTX

I was in a restaurant two days ago. I had noticed a guy panhandling at the nearby intersection on the way there. This restaurant is hiring. but the guy came in asking for a meal, not a job and he was perfectly fit and not even weird looking.

It's caused by travelers choosing to camp out and panhandle. It has evolved in the last few years. It's not just mentally ill people anymore. We need to help those. We don't need to help moochers.

Chasing people from under well-lit bridges into the woods doesn't help the homeless. You don't have to parrot what TXDoT says.

Just use a flamethrower like in Aliens

Transportation Department issues warning to Southwest Airlines to follow through on promises to passengers | CNN PoliticsThe US Department of Transportation formally warned Southwest Airlines on Thursday that it will face consequences if it fails to do right by stranded and inconvenienced passengers. Now watch the same Republicans saying the Biden admin was ignoring the problem start complaining about government overreach. If Southwest is smart, it will take a small fine from regulators and avoid reimbursement to customers that will most likely be more than the fine.

So imagine being in a position of power to stop, at least reduce the normalisation of racism and because of your status you just let it slide...with no backbone it is a wonder Chao can stand...just disgusting The government, 2 years ago, shut down ALL the airlines.
