These are not malls. They are places owned by the local governments. They are not private places. They are public places. We have a duty to house homeless people. Why? Because we can afford to do so and it's the right and humane thing to do. If we don't and they can't do it themselves. We treat animals better than human beings.
- EpicEng 10y agoSounds nice until you have twelve homeless people sleeping in the park your kid plays at after school. I can empathize, but let's not pretend there is no appreciable downside here.
- eliaspro 10y agoSo what's the deal? How does hiding homeless people from your kids help anyone?
- devoply 10y agoI am not saying accommodate homeless people in public, I am saying give them housing. Everyone should have at least a small room to sleep in with an attached bathroom, and a small kitchenette.
- barneygale 10y agoWhat are those downsides, sorry? Sleeping homeless people are surely less of a risk to your kids than awake people with a postal address.
- Chris2048 10y ago"Public" does not imply members of the public can use these structures as they wish, a structure not provided for sleeping on, should not be slept on.
- Chris2048 10y ago> We treat animals better than human beings. Animals can be owned, people are responsible for themselves. Tell me how well animals do in the wild.
