Well said. I'd add that being able to see all sides of the equation allows us to consider the problem in a deeper way and form meaningful solutions that can help everyone - the homeless, desperate and drug dependent as well as the people merely seeking a safer environment for themselves and their loved ones. Being outraged by someones reaction robs us of energy that would be better spent considering the underlying problem. Contemplate those who abuse their children, spouses or others were often abused themselves. It's natural to want those elements removed from society and I wouldn't blame anyone for thinking that way, however the nuanced view is to consider the problem like a virus spreading. How do you contain it, how do you prevent it, how do you treat it, what is innate in people that makes them susceptible to spreading this social calamity? You can ask the big questions, or dig a big pit and throw the problem in there - hoping it won't come back to haunt you. With that said: where the life or well-being of a single person isn't worth much, in subtle ways everybody suffers. You aren't truly rich if you're dodging the hungry and homeless in your luxury car, or walled up from the desperate and deranged.
