I've seen them sleeping on park benches, gazebos, in restaurants, cemeteries, and even hospitals. I was visiting my dad in the hospital a couple weeks ago and hospital personnel told me they lock down the floors after 9pm because the homeless have been making it a habit of coming in and camping out in the units and being a security risk to patients.
You can't go to a Walmart without seeing a homeless person bumming for money(seems like a lot of "veterans" needing help and make their way to Walmart). I saw a homeless woman and her service dog occupying a section in Wendys all week long awhile back. People were handing money and food to her(and her dog) right and left. I've given food to homeless people many times but I don't give them money. From what I've observed, many of them have issues with drugs and I don't want to enable their drug problem by helping finance their habit.
City officials all over the country are faced with a homeless problem. Do you run them off the streets, out of public places, put them in jail, or just let them be? Do you give them a choice between jail and a bed at a rehab facility? You know it's a real problem when hospitals are in lockdown mode at night because of a deluge of homeless people trying to occupy the units.
As a progressive, I empathize with those who are homeless but I also recognize that an out-of-control homeless population poses many significant problems for a community. I'm sure that whatever town you're from, you've been a witness to this ever-growing problem. What is the correct approach, in your opinion, in dealing with people who camp out 24/7 in public places. Let them camp out or kick them off the curb?
LOL! like liberals care more about the homeless than anyone else! (They don't.)
What you have actually done as a liberal is:
1. (Fake) virtue signal.
2. Not spend 1 second addressing what is causing this massive problem.
3. Not spend 1 second proposing any solution to the massive problem.
