I don't think I would call any of this take "moral" or "ethical", and in the future, I would suggest refraining from using those words to refer to yourself. Ho

Homeless people are rarely dangerous. They don't want trouble because they know the moment that happens the cops will descend on them for a bit of fun. They are easy prey for others.
It's also disingenuous to suggest that mental illness is the sole cause of homelessness, or that mental illness can always be alleviated with meds. Neither are true.
- falcolas 4y agoAgreed. Over half of homeless people are employed. And many (most?) of those can't afford housing (and everything associated with housing) with their wages from that employment. Wages in comparison to the cost of living is an issue we also talk about, but we never connect the two.
