I know, how dare people not want their children to walk past open drug use on their way to school. So evil of them.

The overwhelming majority of the unhoused don't do that, you're gross. Most Americans live paycheck to paycheck and are a job loss, accident, breakup away from potential homelessness.

You walk past homeless youth every day without even knowing it because they look just like you and I do. I volunteered at Ali Forney for seven years and I know what amazing, resilient and normal people the clients there were/are. Some need more mental health support than others but the vast majority just need a bed and some food and some time to plot their next steps in a city that is difficult to survive in without family support. Shame on you.
