Homeless Encampment

Some local news that has attracted national (and international?) attention concerns the fact that a homeless encampment in Seattle has got a swimming pool.  People are shocked and outraged.  Especially in the right-wing news circles.  And then you look at the photos of this pool:

Come on now, the fact that a homeless encampment has got a pool is not shocking.  The fact that they call this a "swimming" pool is what is shocking.  Talk about blowing things out of proportion.  It's a cheap ass paddling pool - and if they are going to camp there, then I have absolutely no problems with them having that for hygiene/cooling down (I'd rather they didn't have a homeless encampment in the first place, but that is beside the point).  Yes, homelessness in Seattle is a problem - as it is in many other US cities.  But news articles like this that are cynically produced to provoke outrage do not help.
