How on earth do these people know that the ones spitting, urinating and taunting are homeless? In some cultures spitting in public is acceptable so possibly some of these people are immigrants who haven't yet learned to fit in. Most will eventually get the message and stop spitting. Urinating in public is a classic sign of people being drunk in public. Most of those people have the money to spend on drinks in bars so I doubt they are homeless. As for taunting, that sounds like mental illness to me. And the same goes if someone is spitting at other people. Now I will admit that it is a common side effect of mental illness to be homeless, but unless you actually know that someone is homeless for a fact, you are likely lumping multiple groups of people together and basically saying "This city needs to do something about all the people on the streets who are not like me". Seems to me like better support for the mentally ill would go a long way to solve the problem, and for those who just want to sweep the problem away by moving the mentally ill somewhere else, that might be a good idea. Bringing people closer to nature in a country setting and giving them responsibility to care for farm animals, and gardens, are all known ways to heal mental illness. Sounds like these people need to put their money where there mouth is. Start an Indiegogo project to help mentally ill people in a country setting and donate your money to that rather than complaining.
