    i doubt many people want to be addicts but they succumb to it all the same. regardless it doesnt excuse living like described above and i dont blame people for not wanting to be near described above.

        or… i dont want someones kid to get a bbp from a dirty needle or whatever because they played in garbage left behind. im describing things ive seen with my own eyes. shelters do have their own problems as well. being homeless isnt easy. there are homeless people who dont leave vehicles stripped, needles everywhere, mounds of garbage, and burnt rvs behind. i dont mind those people being around, and i believe some are.

        im empathetic to the plight of the homeless, however that doesnt give them free reign over the rest of society. id love to see the nation, as a whole, because cities like new york san fran la seattle ect cant fix it on their own. id love to see expanded mental health coverage and better treatment for inpatient care. id love to see better access and more rehabilitation facilities. also id love to see the people who desperately need those services to take up the offer when and where its available which largely doesnt happen.

          So what are you doing to help expedite anything, other than encouraging criminalization of despair?

              I never said that. I asked what you’re willing to do other than push for further criminalization of desperation.

                I’m not pushing to further criminalize of desperation. I’m just saying it acceptable to not want to live or work near shit like what was in the article.

                But yes keep pushing to let them run over society and leave whatever mess they want behind.

                    Don’t act like you didn’t dodge the content of their comments, and make assumptions in your replies too
