The anti-social people decreasing everyone's quality of life are the people creating and supporting policies like this one that criminalize mere access to shared public resources.
Barring extreme mental illness that is nowhere near as prevalent as people seem to think, no one wants to be shitting on the ground in public. No one is willingly destroying their own property, personal or shared. If they're vandalizing parks it's because you've successfully made it no longer theirs. Why would they value it when you respect the property more than their lives?
> But don’t tell others what they have to tolerate where they live.
No. Wherever you live you have to tolerate people. You have to tolerate the consequences of our own policies. We have chosen to make a world where people can have nothing and be treated as less than human because of it. You must tolerate that or change it. Punishing people for experiencing the consequences you have imposed on them is monstrous. You can't dodge that moral burden by appealing to this limited concept of freedom.
