I guess I didn’t realize they were on someone’s land, and not the city’s or the state’s.

The shelters around here don’t jive with their lives because they are mostly homeless by choice of drugs/alcohol they refuse to give up.

Your statement may be unpopular to some, but it’s the truth. I have plenty of grass a few homeless could camp on, but doesn’t mean they are welcome. I work waaaaaaaaaay too hard to have the meager shit I do have, to allow someone who does nothing with themself to have free access to it. 🤷🏽‍♂️
