You actually think what you wrote merits any sort of intelligent response? You don’t really say anything aside from whinging about how gross the homeless are and complaining that the city is wasting your precious tax dollars trying to solve the problem. You offer zero alternatives.

You have no alternatives because you don’t actually care about it as a social issue. It’s just unsightly and you don’t like having to think about it.

Dollars-to-donuts you live completely secluded from main areas of homelessness, and it’s mostly just a minor inconvenience having to see it on the news or occasionally getting hit up by a panhandler. You have no stake in it aside from maybe the $15 of your tax bill that goes to these services each year.

You probably consider yourself a “libertarian” but you’d gladly consent to the most authoritarian measures if it meant you never had to deal with the affront to your aesthetic sensibilities caused by the untermensch existing.
