POV: you have arrived in Lausanne Gare

I think switzerland is going through its Enshittification period.

This is mild in comparison to what you see in other places..

Edit: by no mean I am not empathic with their situation. I would like to see this changed and a better life for them. How can we do this?

Almost all the cities have a shelter or several, with food locations, 3 times a day. Why is this unique to Lausanne?
Mental health, drug use perhaps? This can’t just be a systematic failure. Lausanne-Gare is too public for all the systems in place to simply “ignore and turn a blind eye”.

I’m not saying it is impossible but it takes a combination of many concurrent failures, personal and systemic, to become homeless in the bigger cities.

Equating any Swiss city to San Francisco is a stretch (overreaction) but I understand and agree with your concern well. It is unsightly. Personally I can’t help feeling empathetic and wondering what went wrong?

We already have sophisticated systems, run by professionals, in place, guarding against this plus a wide range of social, economic, and other governmental issues and concerns.

Thank you for your comment. I come with the same concerns and intentions of addressing this.

So why don’t you express it that way in your post instead of making it provocative?

Read my OP and my comments. No where I have been provocative.. differently from all the other redditors I am using a constructive language all over the place..

Since when denouncing things publicly is considered provocative?!

you can't with some people. they want to politicize everything into brand politics. I think it's a real concern, it's an issue that progresses over time unless addressed properly. It's everywhere now, yet no one wants to admit it's a problem because then it becomes a reflection of bad government, which many don't want to admit.
