I wasn’t talking about people struggling. I was talking about the actual, visible drug users on the streets. The struggling people looking for temporary housing would be intermingled with these people and suffer the most.
- bryanlarsen 1y agoThe Y and religious shelters have a zero-tolerance policy. You get kicked out immediately for drugs or alcohol. So no, they're generally not intermingled.
- roguecoder 1y agoLiving on the street sucks. It is painful. It is a lot harder to stop using pain killers when one is in actual pain.
- ToucanLoucan 1y agoThose people are also struggling. The fact that you refuse to empathize with them doesn't change that.
