"visceral inconvenience"
The problem with the homeless isn't how it offends your senses.
"I'm not all that likely to be accosted, but if I ever am, it will be a big deal, so navigating those places is nerve-wracking because my threat-detection is constantly dialed up."
Have you ever thought that being this worried about threats is something you're partially responsible for?

- themitigating 4y agoI'm a white man but I don't see how that matters. If I was Black would be more likely to be assaulted for some reason? Do homeless people avoid assaulting white people? I get that you implying that I would feel safer because I'm less likely to be sexually assaulted and that I have a greater chance to defend myself. However, that doesn't prevent me from criticizing other's feelings. It's like a someone who is racist saying "well you don't live with them so you don't understand"
- prottog 4y agoWhy do you capitalize black and not white?

- themitigating 4y agoA mistake, I should have capitalized both. I was reading what the parent wrote when I typed it and they didn't capitalize it.
- googlryas 4y agoEvery self preservation instinct is something each person is ultimately responsible for, but that doesn't mean that is the only dial that can be adjusted to solve the issue. Some people really do worry too much. Some areas really could be cleaned up so that random people feel comfortable moving through them without threat of assault.

- googlryas 4y agoWhen you clean up your house, you might put everything back in a good place designed for it. For example, people in homes. If I were being as ridiculous as you, I would say you must not believe in people having homes.
