-I now live in a rural area where I've yet to see someone homeless. However, when I lived in more urban areas, no homeless person ever made me feel unsafe.
Yes, if I was having a bad day, being asked for some change for food could be a nuisance (in particular the twelfth time the question was asked while you were already running late for an appointment!) - but overall, when living in a city, the people who on occasion made me feel unsafe didn't appear to be homeless.
Just out of curiosity - if being homeless is sufficient grounds for not being allowed to frequent public spaces, where do you suggest people so affected gather? After all, by definition, they haven't got access to private spaces, no? (Yes, this is a somewhat snarky question, I'll admit.)
