I was responding to a comment that had the idea that we shouldn't do anything to benefit the homeless because it might attract more homeless. But I'm the one that doesn't want to improve their situation.

For one thing I was born and raised in the Bay Area so I wouldn’t cross your fingers that you can prevent people like me coming in. I am from here. To your point, I wasn’t advocating for a decrease in homeless services offered by local government. I was saying the forcing of businesses to personally intervene (versus just a tax or similar abstract approach) makes me uneasy. Similarly I don’t agree with an alternative justice system being applied to any class of Americans, though chucking everyone in prison doesn’t help either... I realize I could’ve made my points clearer which may have avoided this turning into an emotionally charged online argument.
