I'm pretty heavily conflicted about homelessness. On the one hand, I've had them chase me down with weapons. I see their sewage being dumped into the river. I see their garbage piles. I see their drugs. On the other hand, they're people and the conditions we tend to put on giving them help are patronizing half-measures that are almost universally tied to someone's religion or ethos. I think homelessness wouldn't be nearly so bad if we didn't make it so bad to be homeless. Or something like that. Dunno. Maybe if we had better public access to mental health and addiction resources there would be fewer homeless... and maybe they wouldn't have such a footprint where they aren't invited. But until then, I expect to see more measures like this, and to feel conflicted about them.
