There are also the quality of life improvements for the general populace of not having homeless on the street at all times and possibly also a measure of increased safety.
- ch4s3 13y agoI'm respectfully dubious about the safety claim. Maybe perceived safety, but the last time I checked in my city (Baltimore) violent crimes weren't being perpetrated by the homeless, but rather the homeless are often victims. So, its safer for those people taken off the street. More importantly, it unburdens city ERs and police departments. So, ok, maybe there is an indirect safety effect from freed up police resources. Interesting how hairy and interconnected all of these complicated issues become when you dive into them.
