No; it's my observation that they keep Beverly Hills free of homeless people with exceptional vigor. NYC, not so much.

Oh, who would the "They", in Beverley Hills be? Why would "They" want to keep Beverley Hills free of homeless people? You said it was Right-Wingers who thought poorly of homeless people didn't you?

The police.

Thus far on this thread it is generally the right-wingers who want the homeless ejected from public places like train stations.

I sense you are on your way to some sort of point. If you'd just come out and say it, we could save another dozen posts of you trying to hint at it.

Ok. The "They" in Beverley Hills aren't the police. They are the Liberal Hollywood Hypocritical Elites who on one hand express such undying love and compassion for their fellow man as long as he stays in the train stations and doesn't interfere with their shopping trip to Rodeo Dr. (ponounced Row-Day-Oh). Yet your post lays the blame for lack of compassion on "Right Wingers." I would say you'd be hard pressed to find too many "Right Wingers in Beverly Hills.

Ah, there's the point.

Don't know if you've been in Beverly Hills much, but most of the people live there are just plain rich and are not famous actors. They are pretty conservative; just look at the bumper stickers on their SUV's. Hard to believe, I know, but not everyone in Beverly Hills is just like Dustin Hoffman.

Right! Stop by there someday. You'll be suprised. Want to find the liberals? Head down to North Hollywood, where the middle income people live in the mini-mall spread that is LA. There you'll find the "rich liberal Hollywood Hypocritial Elites" working at car-insurance firms and Thai fast food places.

And the sign said anybody caught trespassing would be shot on sight
So I jumped on the fence and yelled at the house, Hey! what gives you the right
To put up a fence to keep me out or to keep mother nature in
If God was here, he'd tell you to your face, man you're some kinda sinner

...

Now, hey you Mister! can't you read, you got to have a shirt and tie to get a seat!
You can't even watch, no you can't eat, you ain't suppose to be here
Sign said you got to have a membership card to get inside Uh!

Your experience of Beverly Hills was vastly different than mine. Beverly Hills is where the term "Limosine Liberal" originated. Here's a little reading material for you.

You will note it is mainly movie stars living in Beverly Hills. Hopefully you aren't going to try and convince us that most Hollywood Movie Stars are "Right Wingers.

Cute, but hardly a comparable situation. The House in the song is private property and the law gives them the right to put up a "No Tresspassing" sign.

If you want to kick them out of all public places, you have an obligation (in my opinion) to give them a place they _can_ go.

I disagree. I have no obligation whatsoever to them, unless I wish to voluntarily help them out for humanitarian reasons. If they want a place to live, it is their obligation to earn one for themselves. Their choice to refuse work, does not obligate me to give them a free home.

>I have no obligation whatsoever to them . . .

You could see a woman being raped on the street and you would have no legal obligation whatsoever to help her. However, I would feel an obligation to try, because in my opinion that's the right thing to do. There is a difference between what you should be compelled to do legally and what you should do because your conscience compels you to. And I believe it is wrong to kick people out of a public place unless you give them an alternative.
