There will always be people without a place to live, and people with substance abuse disorders. We can both agree that they do exist, even if we are upset by that fact and wish it was not so.
So, what do you think a good plan would be? Turn them into soylent green? Tut tut at them when their suffering mildly inconveniences our day/their presence upsets us(the current situation)? Improve life for everyone by having good public toilets? Something else?
I support social services to help these people. Welfare, housing, medical care, the works. And I feel I'm far to the left of what almost any Democrat would ever propose to help those the worst off.
But i do think society should be designed to minimize where they can do drugs, and where delinquents have sex in public.
And I do not think those who own private property open to the public for commerce should be burdened with their sleep, sex and drug spots. Not their problem. It's not the problem of a small business owner that someone had trauma and then made some bad choices in life and need to mod off in their restroom or sleep in the doorway or their restaurant
