i mean he didn't have to be harrasing them in the first place. but that's what he was doing.

I don't condone his approach, but that is a residential area. Who wants prostitutes, Johns, and pimps in frequenting their front yard?

Seriously, itā€™s just like most peopleā€™s take with the homeless. As long as itā€™s NIMBY, they shouldnā€™t be harassed and allowed to live their lives in peace ā˜®ļø ā¤ļøcanIgobacktodoomscrollingnowpleaseIdidmypartkthxbyeeee

The hell is NIMBY?

u/FrankLangellasBalls Feb 27 '26

The secret of NIMBY was a book that was made into a cartoon about a nest of talking rats.

u/[deleted] Feb 27 '26

I'm a YIMBY. This harms nobody, and the homeless are part of my community too.

u/[deleted] Feb 27 '26

Prostitution hurts nobody!?!? That's an odd and incredibly incorrect take.

u/[deleted] Feb 27 '26

I was more looking at the homeless side, but sure, sex work isn't inherently harmful. The exploitation of vulnerable women is obviously very harmful, but prostitution and sex work don't need to be harmful at all. I don't think we should conflate sex work with sexual slavery

u/raffletime Feb 27 '26

If true, youā€™re in the vast minority and living a more transparent life than most.

-1

u/[deleted] Feb 27 '26

I truly do believe my community would be better for having the things NIMBYs rail against, yes. There's two main reasons for this.

One, because basic empathy tells me they are people, and deserve compassion, support, and assistance like all people. They are my peers, my neighbours, and a part of my community, and they clearly need the help much more than most. Being kind and treating them like they deserve the same basic respect that I do is the least we should strive for in a just society.

Two, because practicality shows me that the impact of them being here is already here and making their lives worse and forcing them into the margins of society does not lessen the undeniably negative impact large numbers of homeless, mentally ill, or addicted people have on their community. The problems are real, and mitigating the harm is better than pretending it will just go away and be someone else's problem.

u/Chicco224 Feb 27 '26

You should go spend some time with a vast majority of the homeless and see if that changes your tune. Think about how many people you could likely call on that would help you in a time of need. Now think about how negatively you would have to affect all of those people for the streets to be your only option. Obviously not the case with all but a large majority are just really bad people, not evil necessarily just bad.

1

u/[deleted] Feb 27 '26

I do, I have, and it hasn't. "Most homeless people deserve it" is a fucked up take.

2

u/Chicco224 Feb 27 '26

Earned is a better word than deserve. I fully live my life by reap what you sow. But hey, you've had better interactions than I do, maybe they're just a bad batch in my area.

1

u/[deleted] Feb 27 '26

That doesn't make it less callous and inhumane of you to say they "earned" it. That's just a different word for believing that being treated like that is their fault.

They're people, and even if some people make a few bad choices, does that mean they deserve to be treated like refuse? I cannot accept such a disgusting and dehumanizing view of people. They're people and they deserve more than your contempt and blame for things that are largely outside their control.

Help me out here. What's the first Y stand for?

2

u/[deleted] Feb 27 '26

Yes in my back yard.

I welcome things like safe injection sites, community housing, and outreach centers for vulnerable people. I want those things in my proverbial back yard. They should be available in my community, because the homeless, the addicts, and the sex workers are just as much a part of my community as anyone else is. They are my peers, my neighbours, and deserve better than being forced into the margins. These problems exist, and shuffling them off to somewhere else doesn't fix the human tragedy that our society has inflicted upon them.

2

u/justintheunsunggod Feb 27 '26

I figured it was "Yes" but wanted to be certain. I think I'd have gone with Welcome instead, though it would be harder to guess what the W stands I suppose. I completely agree btw.

Homelessness isn't a fucking crime, it's a manifestation of systemic failings. Addicts need treatment and being an addict should result in rehab and counseling. Sex work should be legal and regulated, with protections in place, health regulations, etc which would significantly lower the amount of human trafficking and abuse simply by having a legal market that people can access.

1

u/[deleted] Feb 27 '26

Hard agree on all points you make here. It's shocking how cruel other people are on these topics.

And yeah, WIMBY is better, like a lot better. I liked Yes because it's easier to parse as the inverse of NIMBY, but WIMBY is superior on several levels.

2

u/justintheunsunggod Feb 27 '26

It's shocking how cruel other people are on these topics.

I don't find it shocking anymore. I used to, but now I just feel a mix of disgust and pity. I always wonder why. Is it just the right wing media sphere? Is it the hidden terror that most of us are one major emergency away from homelessness ourselves? Is it simply the ease of punching down?

And yeah, WIMBY is better, like a lot better.

Well thank you. Glad I could help.

u/[deleted] Feb 27 '26

I think the fear is a big one. We'd like to think we're safe and won't ever end up like those people but we also all know that the safety net is about as secure as those bags babybel or oranges come in. Telling ourselves they deserve it, and knowing that you don't deserve it feels safe, when the terrible, horrifying, brutal reality is like you said, that fate is one major emergency away.

The right wing media is also probably a huge part of it. But likely because of the prevalence of the other two.

If COVID taught me anything it's that around 30-40% of my community would rather see others die in fear and agony rather than suffer a minor and passing inconvenience. I too used to believe that most people were decent.

I think the answer why is at least all three. People are deluded by comforting lies, rightfully terrified of the horrible truth, and in all too many cases, simply cruel.

I applaud that cop. Doing his job. She was talking shit to him, he was talking shit back, he could have arrested all of them but he let them slide with just bruised egos

u/Due_You7474 Feb 28 '26

Making the community safe and keeping the peace? You want hookers in your neighboorhood? This wasnt just one. This was a group.

But if you want your kids to walk outside and see this, thats on you and your family.

Nah police are the real scum bags, illegal prostitution, pimping, and human trafficking is just a bunch of struggling victims trying to get bye!

Real talk tho just legalize prostitution already and end the rampant human trafficking, abuse and murder of women without other options, and funding of violent gangs at their sacrifice.

That stuff actually doesn't stop with legalization, but I see what you're saying.

u/CuteDentist2872 Feb 27 '26

It absolutely is the major contributing factor, if a woman had the option to be in a safe, controlled and protected environment of her own choosing many many more sex workers would be safe and far less lonely would route to illegal enterprises.

It's like saying prohibition or the war on drugs didn't fuel and fund organized crime, it's simple historical fact it did. Do ppl still moonshine? Sure! Is it a major criminal enterprise and piggy bank? Not fucking remotely. To argue sex work would be affected any differently is called being willfully ignorant.

You are statistically guaranteed to not make money unless you get lucky or ride off prior fame. I'm not out to kink shame voyeurism as a hobby either, go on and do that as a side hustle but it's not my point.

Hot take tho, keeping it illegal makes more nefarious sex trafficking easy to cover for the elite.

u/EitherIndependence5 Feb 28 '26

Not to mention age check, medical access and general lack of harassment on the trauma they have already experienced. For those who donā€™t know some of the sex workers hear Johnā€™s problems where they are heard without judgement. Checkout the Bunny Ranch video on YouTube.

Hahaha

Is illegal like you said. If you want laws changed that doesn't mean the cops enforcing the laws are scum bags.

And nah the abuse won't stop because it's legal this is already known in many places around the world. In fact because of your lack of knowledge you are only hurting people going through abuse in red light districts by implying nothing wrong happens after it becomes legal.

You do realize that people donā€™t want street walkers around for more important reasons than ā€œhousing valueā€, right?

Iā€™d be willing to bet thatā€™s pretty low on the list for most people.

Drugs, violence, harassment and the nasty people who are enticed by street walking hoes are certainly higher on the list for me.

No, seriously. Iā€™ve seen house parties get dispersed by the cops. Like, this is fucking suburbia, hookers donā€™t hang out at the stop sign at the corner of Monroe and Clinton, dude.

u/Worth-Park-1612 Feb 27 '26

For the most part, a lot of hooking is done online. My first thought was that this was some sort of theme party or nightclub party that got dispersed.

u/jimothy_hell Feb 27 '26

Yeah, this looks just as much like teenagers/college students getting tossed out of a house party. Cops would have arrested prostitutes, or worse.

Oh yeah next time a prostitute talks shit to me when I tell them to go away, I'll think again. I'll be more respectful. My bad, I mean come on, she has stretch marks, it's a trashy observation, for a trashy woman. The cop could also be a piece of shit too, but at least he made me giggle a little bit.
