The problem in my town is the homeless people ruining the trails and parks. I feel bad for them but they will fill a park with tents and shit on the pavement
And now you’ve found the problem. There are many non profits helping them and making sure they aren’t starving but many of these people come from other places and have serious mental health issues.
There is habitat for humanity which is building houses with the idea that having a shelter and a shower can get people off the street. Its a cool project.
Commending your humanity, friend. It’s hard to see the problems that people like the homeless can cause in our day to day and not feel reproachful or angry. Even if I know the reason, and can empathize with the situation, it doesn’t make the interactions any less jarring or frustrating when they’re clearly in need or more assistance than they’re getting and that lack is harming them AND the community they need to rely on for survival.

Where would you have them go, exactly?

On one hand, where’s the affordable housing? On the other hand, where’s the access to affordable mental health programs?
