Edit

I kinda made this post out of spite for the fact the most previous post in this community, whose title I quoted/copied, was getting so many downvotes... At the time I posted this, the previous post had about a 30% downvote rate, and it really, really made me mad.

I am relieved tho to see people in the comments here who have real, actual empathy for their fellow humans. Thank you for contributing here.

It blows my mind how normalized it is to hate on those who are struggling. Especially in 20fucking23 when so many of us now are on the verge of it ourselves. Let's be better, everyone - to everyone. I beg you.

Break-ins, assaults, rape, robbery. You know. Benign things. Also shit and needles everywhere.

So the obvious solution is create conditions for rampant desperation, criminalize despair, shove undeserved out of sight. The etymology of “bedlam,” comes to mind.

There are many better solutions than "let them camp".

Obviously; but the only ones being implemented on a wide basis in the US OS that, and what I said.

Those would be the other criminal elements. Drug dealers have had these issues too.

They probably need services too, then.
