Haven’t there been court cases ruling that the homeless have a right to be out there? Years ago more people were in psych facilities, and vagrancy laws were enforced so you didn’t just have shiftless rootless people with no means of support and nothing to do just sitting and lying on the sidewalks.
We should have compassion, but real compassion would be to get them off the streets and get to the bottom of what caused them to be on the streets in the first place. For example, do they not have a job, did they lose their job? Are they mentally ill and can’t function in society?
It baffles me how somebody has a constitutional right to live in a destructive manner. Then again, it’s judgemental to say the homeless are in a destructive lifestyle. It’s too much non-judgemental feelings that allow the homeless problem to fester.
