Homeless people have no money and they need drugs. Where do you think they get their money and other various items?

Homeless people have money, just not enough for housing. People with houses also use drugs. All people get money from different places. Not sure what your point is but your generalizations aren’t useful.

Rich people use drugs as well, but they do not decrease the economic quality of the area and generate a lot of crimes and nuisance. For tourism, it is necessary to clean up the encampments, and sleeping homeless to market attractions. Since they are poor and addicted to drugs, probably feel screwed by society, they are more likely to steal. They have not showered in ages, do you enjoy being next to stinky people?

You’re making a lot of spurious assumptions and generalizations. The overwhelming majority of the time the homeless are just minding their own business. Some are certainly more annoying than others, some smell worse than others but that doesn’t justify criminalizing all of them nor does it justify abdicating moral responsibility as a society to care for those that often for no fault of their own fail to integrate into the structures that have evolved. There are other solutions, none of them are going to be perfect. Maybe criminalizing sleeping on the street is fine as long as the city provides places to sleep that are reasonable.
