Yes, the groups and volunteers that work with homeless people, attempt to provide care, understanding, and social services, and if possible a path out of being a rough-sleeper are generally opposed to attempting to "solve" this complex set of issues with facial recognition and augmented reality, and this ought to cause us to hesitate before we make terrifyingly glib declarations like "without a doubt, this regime would certainly make life better for the [homeless & homeless types]".
- dcolkitt 7y ago> if possible a path out of being a rough-sleeper are generally opposed to attempting to "solve" this complex set of issues with facial recognition and augmented reality These two avenues are completely orthogonal to each other. There's no reason that you can't create a path out of homelessness, but still make the time somebody spends homeless more pleasant. Effort in one doesn't negate the other. And yes, without a doubt adding visible class distinctions between the down-on-their-luck homeless and the violent, destructive homeless would almost assuredly make life better for members of the former. You may still oppose the idea on other grounds, but there's absolutely no reason to doubt why raising a sub-group's social class status wouldn't improve their life.
