    The problem is there are a lot of NIMBYs that would rather them trash their cities than hang out in their neighborhoods lowering their property value. They want the government to fix the problem, but don’t want their taxes raised to accommodate it.

    The people who protect the homeless are every bit as responsible for the problem as anyone they accuse.

      Sorry that we don’t like seeing people die because they’re mentally ill and can’t operate in society like the rest of us. We need an actual social safety net funded by all the wealth that society has created rather than letting robber barons take it all.

        When you learn how things actually work, I’ll Have this discussion with you. But I can see that it will be a complete waste of time to continue.

          Lol, you have nothing to say when you’re confronted with the fact that you’re OK with people dying because we choose to call them a problem. Examine yourself, fellow human.

        The homeless should be helped out of homelessness. Not protected to the point that they enable it.
