I genuinely hope that you yourself are never lumped in to a group of people you're not a part of, and blamed for their actions.
Stay safe, friend.

You are saying that every person and situation should be treated individually and with dignity and you are 100% right about this.
I'm saying that my neighborhood has changed drastically for the worse because of a huge migration of people to my area. I didn't say everyone in that group is a criminal but crime has risen drastically and I didn't say everyone in this group litters but it looks like a landfill right around the corner from my house right now.
Your perspective (how an individual unhoused person is judged) and mine (how I'm affected by a drastic change in crime and trash in my area) are from different conversations and really shouldn't be addressed together.
Our goal is the same though. Help every single person in the way they uniquely need to be helped so that all of our issues can be addressed simultaneously.
You stay safe too and I hope you have a good night or day wherever you may be.
