I think we need to be extremely cautious when we think things like this. I'm not sure everyone's fear is well-founded. It seems like we can't eliminate risk, so we need to have this reasonable debate about what we'll tolerate.
I don't believe in removing these people, but let's have anyone in the area behaving some fair rules. No physical assault sounds good. Sounds like maybe we agree? I just haven't had that physical assault problem, so to me it seems like I can walk down the street without fear.
- Spooky23 13y agoI agree -- I don't mean we need a complete police state. Homeless people have just as much right to be in a public space as anyone. But as an example, in my city a bunch of aggressive panhandlers will taunt and intimidate you between the entrance to a hospital near me and one of the parking areas. When my sister worked at this hospital, it was very intimidating to have to run through a gauntlet of these people, it was really scary to be running a gauntlet of deranged drunks.
