Where are you from? This has been the way of it in major cities in Canada or the US for decades.
At some point, people get tired of watching the sandwich you bought for that “hungry person” get tossed in the garbage or the dude who “just needs bus fare home to his family” hitting you up months later with the same spiel
I agree, I mean I think you can provide infinite money to homeless shelters and services, but I’m most concerned with the mentally ill homeless who refuse help, and just make life uncomfortable for anyone else in the city. There are known homeless guys in my city who are known for harassing and threatening people, but no matter what they do, they get infinite sympathy and no forced intervention.
I’m all for helping those who are in need, all in. But you’re never going to fix the homeless issue, unless you accept that some will need to be forcibly removed from their street life, because they don’t want help.
People in places like b.c want to appear tolerant so they give the violent ones all the slack in the world and act like they don’t exist
