A couple bought a house in Concord, NH. $800,000 worth of house. It’s historic, don’tchya know.
Five bedrooms, three and a half baths and a lovely front yard. And a backyard with a swingset for the kids that remains unused.
Because there is a homeless encampment in the woods behind the house. And the vagrants are armed.
But here’s the insanity:
Bach is a progressive who has considerable sympathy for people facing homelessness. And while she’d like them off her property, she says she’s concerned that evicting them will just move the issue elsewhere and turn it into someone else’s problem.
So she would rather have a full-blown security system and a backyard that she can’t use. And trash, fuck-tons of trash.
Even though Bach has certainly had some frightening encounters with the people trying to survive behind her home, she has talked to some of them in an effort to understand their struggle.
Most recently, she spoke with a man who said he holds a 9 to 5 job and cleans up his garbage with contractor bags.
She believes it would be better if the city created a sanctioned camping area somewhere away from where she lives, as its become clear to her that these people need a helping hand.
Because she’s a ‘progressive’ she would rather lock herself in her home and foist her problem on the nearest governmental body.
I just don’t get it.
