[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Sounds like the problem isn’t homeless people living in a tent. It’s people drinking in public (illegal?), making lots of noise (noise violation?), pooping in public, littering diarrhea shorts (illegal?), and having pants down in public (illegal). The issue isn’t where the people are living but how they are behaving. And yet people get riled up about the idea that police should be contacted. [/quote]

This. OP sounds like a very empathetic person who wants to help others. I bet if this was a few unhoused people living in tents but taking care of the area, no drinking on the sidewalk, making noise at all hours, and definitely no sneaking into private buildings and potentially engaging in disturbing behavior where they may be discovered by children, this would be a very different conversation.

I live in an apartment and everyone here owns or legally rents their unit. But if my neighbors started drinking on the sidewalk, making loud noise at all hours, throwing garbage in the street, were defecating or urinating in the hallways or other common areas, or were taking off their clothes in public areas, especially around my kids, I'd have the cops on speed dial.

There is nothing wrong with falling on hard times. There but for the grace of god. But falling on hard times is not an excuse to start behaving like an animal or ruining the neighborhood for everyone else. These folks need housing assistance, I hope they get it. But they don't get to make your life hell until they do.[/quote]
