[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I can't believe you all live around this. That article says an example of an injustice against the homeless was a cafe trying to clear an encampment so they could actually have outdoor seating for their customers. What is it you all are trying to achieve? Drug addicts shooting up wherever?[/quote]

What are you trying to achieve? Where do you think the people should live?[/quote]
I think people should live in their own homes. If they are unable to unwilling to find housing for themselves, they should live in a mental health care facility if mentally ill, drug treatment facility if addicted, homeless shelter if down on their luck, or jail if behaving criminally, depending on the circumstances.

This. I have no idea why this is so controversial. People who can't take care of themselves cannot live on the street. Period. At least in an institution, they'd get a private bed and three square meals a day.  [/quote]

The institutions have been closed for decades now. There is no way to house all of the destitute people who are mentally ill, the beds simply don't exist [/quote]

Then it is more than past time to re open them. I for one am sick of this s t. Any compassion I had is long gone, especially after my ankle was grabbed by one of these sidewalk dwellers as I walked by on my way to the job that pays taxes that supposedly provides services to people in need.
