In liberal cities and states across America, homeless encampments and tent cities have become a major problem. Sidewalks, freeway underpasses, parks, and even landmarks are covered with tents, sleeping bags, and discarded furniture. These “communities” litter the surrounding area, have been tied to an increase in crime, and bring down the property values of home and business owners alike.
 
Liberals’ soft on crime policies have contributed to the growing homeless problem. Their woke agenda has allowed homeless individuals to set up camp as long as they want and has simultaneously handcuffed law enforcement’s ability to address the problem, causing issues for businesses and homeowners. 
 
Liberal states have wasted billions of tax-payer dollars on woke programs, none of which address the real issues at hand. These socialist programs have failed because all the money in the world can’t fix bad policy. Tent cities will continue to expand because liberals prioritize their woke agenda over the safety, prosperity, and hard work of individuals, families, and local businesses.
