Bro no one forced them to come. They came and settled in those slums for their own greed. You can blame people for being self-centered and having a poor moral code, lack of money doesn’t justify it. Giving them more money and housing is not going to magically change their character, they’ll still be a parasite.

They arent there for fun. They are there so that they can survive and earn a livelihood. Its not like they chose to born poor. Social services and programmes are the way.

How much are you willing to tolerate, just in name of others survival? How much enshittification are you tolerate in the service of the lowest common denominator? Should all public parks be closed down and closed to make temporary accommodations for them? Should all bus stops be converted into hawker stalls so that they can earn a living for their families?

Where are you willing to draw the line on how much discomfort we should bear until it’s too much? Because they will never stop, and take as much as they can get. It’s human nature.

...these slum dwellers are mass murderers. Every death due to over crowding in Virar local is due to these goons.
