  • Singling Out Crime 'Suspects' As Homeless Is A Media Double Standard That Unjustly Penalizes The Poor - The Appeal
    "Leading with housing status for homeless people is a common trope in the news reporting business and one in urgent need of re-examining. In many cases, it is used as a rhetorical device to depict people experiencing homelessness as a threat to public safety, a common right-wing canard used to justify virulently anti-homeless policies and harsh policing of people perceived to be poor."

    (If this sounds like an episode of Citations Needed, it is written by Adam Johnson)

  • No Place Left to Go: Business Districts Keep Homeless Populations on the Move
    On how BIDs push for the criminalization of homelessness using Denver's urban camping ban and Downtown Denver Partnership as its primary example.

    For a book-length treatment of this and similar issues, I recommend Randall Amster's _Lost In Space: The Criminalization, Globalization, and Urban Ecology of Homelessness_ (2008) which examines the role BIDs play in criminalizing homelessness using the struggles over the sit-lie ordinances in Tempe, AZ, as a case study.

    "It is those same government-funded charities that push the narrative that “kindness kills” as they tout for your donations. Do not believe them. Apathy and austerity kill. Your kindness saves lives."

  • In 83 Million Eviction Records, a Sweeping and Intimate New Look at Housing in America - The New York Times
    - 20% of renter households in Richmond were threatened with eviction in 2016
    - Of those actually evicted, the median amount owed was $686
    - Judgments issued in majority white neighborhoods were far less common
    - Mr. Desmond’s eviction calculations are probably conservative: They include only households that touched the legal process, not those in which people moved with an informal warning
