Moonbat plutocrat JB Pritzker wants to be president. That would allow him to do to the whole country what his fellow leftists have been inflicting on Illinois. For example, he might turn all parks and public areas into homeless encampments.

Wirepoints reports on a new bill sponsored exclusively by Democrats:

It’s House Bill 1429, the Local Regulation of Unsheltered Homelessness Act, which says local governments wouldn’t be able to establish or enforce a rule fining or criminally punishing homeless people for participating in “life sustaining activities.”

You know, like taking over public parks to indulge in the activities normally associated with the homeless community, like public defecation, drug use, prostitution, theft, random assault, et cetera.

Explicitly, “life sustaining activities” include sleeping, “protecting oneself from the elements,” and “storing personal property as needed to shelter oneself.”

Cancer that starts in Chicago metastasizes statewide:

Chicago already broadly allows encampments in its parks, many of which have been trashed. Visit some of the parks yourself where encampments are being set up or see pictures here from the Restore Gompers Park Coalition, a group opposing the Illinois bill.

As noted by the Restore Gompers Park Coalition,

“HB-1429 prohibits local park districts, county forest preserves, and municipalities from creating and enforcing their own policies and ordinances as they relate to individuals experiencing homelessness, meaning your local playground or your nature space can become a long-term encampment, and the elected officials in your community will not be able to do anything about it.”

Another stupid bill – the IL Democrats want to turn your public park into a homeless encampment. Meanwhile they spend hundreds of millions on homeless prevention. pic.twitter.com/fwol9ERzCF

Elsewhere on the social engineering front,

Illinois is considering a bill to override local zoning laws to allow multifamily building construction in single-family residential neighborhoods. Gov. JB Pritzker is a strong supporter.

The likely purpose is to pave the way for public housing — a.k.a., government-run slums like Chicago’s Cabrini-Green — which Pritzker has been working to extend into formerly livable suburbs.

From ruined blue states like Illinois, Democrats hope to take their bizarrely sanctimonious malice nationwide, so as to fundamentally transform the USA as promised.

On a tip from abcanc. Hat tip: Gateway Pundit.

Residents in Hyattsville, Maryland have been granted a preview of what progressives are progressing toward.

The Washington Free Beacon reports:

The sign outside the Marylander Condominiums, a 200-unit complex in Prince George’s County, Md., describes it as a “private community.”

But for members of a homeless encampment in the condo’s backyard, the complex also serves as a crackhouse, a bathroom, and the entrance to an open-air drug market, which has become a magnet for organized crime and caused millions in property damage.

Transients break into buildings and smoke crack in the stairwells. Tenants traversing the property must navigate needles, feces, and sleeping bodies as addicts nap half-naked in the hallways and sprawl themselves like welcome mats outside residents’ doors.

Half of the complex has gone without heat since Thanksgiving after vagrants allegedly vandalized the boiler room, causing pipes to burst in several buildings. Some units have lost electricity, too, due to the overuse of space heaters.

These are small prices to pay on behalf of the politically sacred “unhoused” (please note that the euphemism “homeless” is no longer acceptable, now that everyone understands it to mean “probably psychotic and drug-addicted bum”).

Some people benefit from the situation:

Outside the freezing halls, drug dealers drive high-end vehicles through a dilapidated parking lot…

The encampment also provides a haven for prostitutes.

We pay ever more exorbitant taxes so that government can maintain order. Last month public officials held a town hall to address the situation:

Billed as a “listening session” for condo-owners to air their grievances, the town hall featured a lengthy presentation on how the county was handling its “unhoused” residents.

“We have to be compassionate,” the county’s deputy chief administrative officer for public safety and homeland security, Melvin Powell, said of the encampment, addressing the hundreds of residents who could soon be displaced because of it.

“We’re not criminalizing the unhoused,” police major Thomas Boone added.

In other words: Get used to it, taxpayers!

The Swamp suburb Prince George’s County is 86% Democrat, the highest percentage in the country. You get what you vote for.

Instead of restoring order, the county…

…threatened to sue the condo, which was already tight on cash, for its failure to fix the nearly $5 million in property damage that has been caused by the drug den on its doorstep.

Legal action by the county is likely to result in some of the residents being rendered homeless. At least then they will qualify for the free food the county passes out to the bum encampment.
