Welcome to the News community!
Rules:
1. Be civil
Attack the argument, not the person. No racism/sexism/bigotry. Good faith argumentation only. This includes accusing another user of being a bot or paid actor. Trolling is uncivil and is grounds for removal and/or a community ban. Do not respond to rule-breaking content; report it and move on.
2. All posts should contain a source (url) that is as reliable and unbiased as possible and must only contain one link.
Obvious biased sources will be removed at the mods’ discretion. Supporting links can be added in comments or posted separately but not to the post body. Sources may be checked for reliability using Wikipedia, MBFC, AdFontes, GroundNews, etc.
3. No bots, spam or self-promotion.
Only approved bots, which follow the guidelines for bots set by the instance, are allowed.
4. Post titles should be the same as the article used as source. Clickbait titles may be removed.
Posts which titles don’t match the source may be removed. If the site changed their headline, we may ask you to update the post title. Clickbait titles use hyperbolic language and do not accurately describe the article content. When necessary, post titles may be edited, clearly marked with [brackets], but may never be used to editorialize or comment on the content.
5. Only recent news is allowed.
Posts must be news from the most recent 30 days.
6. All posts must be news articles.
No opinion pieces, Listicles, editorials, videos, blogs, press releases, or celebrity gossip will be allowed. All posts will be judged on a case-by-case basis. Mods may use discretion to pre-approve videos or press releases from highly credible sources that provide unique, newsworthy content not available or possible in another format.
7. No duplicate posts.
If an article has already been posted, it will be removed. Different articles reporting on the same subject are permitted. If the post that matches your post is very old, we refer you to rule 5.
8. Misinformation is prohibited.
Misinformation / propaganda is strictly prohibited. Any comment or post containing or linking to misinformation will be removed. If you feel that your post has been removed in error, credible sources must be provided.
9. No link shorteners or news aggregators.
All posts must link to original article sources. You may include archival links in the post description. News aggregators such as Yahoo, Google, Hacker News, etc. should be avoided in favor of the original source link. Newswire services such as AP, Reuters, or AFP, are frequently republished and may be shared from other credible sources.
10. Don't copy entire article in your post body
For copyright reasons, you are not allowed to copy an entire article into your post body. This is an instance wide rule, that is strictly enforced in this community.

Them trying to figure it out has presented itself as what we have today.
Your lack of care regarding their wellbeing speaks to the person you are. A selfish, empathy lacking, judgmental idiot.
You are the problem, not homeless people.
Rewarding people for not working and sitting around and doing drugs all day is what leads to what you see in these cities. The more they don't work and cause chaos, the more people rush to them with free shit and demands for them to get more money.
Rewarding you with any up votes encourages your self-righteousness to escalate.
Maybe it's time you started reevaluating your selfishness and its hold on you.
It's not selfishness, it's reality
Nah, it's selfishness.
What's he getting from these statements that make you assert he's selfish? They aren't saying, "Give it all to me." They're saying that if you make life sustainable while succumbing to vice, people will take them up on it.
The poor will always resent the homeless. They have shit homes that they've sacrificed for, and they are disproportionately the victims of theft from homeless due to proximity. Then they see the people they've watched, being as a kite for 5 years, get newly built housing for free and non-stop handouts.
Obviously, they should all be on the same side, but thats just not how human emotions work.
What an asinine thing to say, like somehow you have personal knowledge of being poor and unhoused.
It's about as asinine as you implying someone doesn't without intimate knowledge of their life....
If you've never been poor or unhoused, you don't have any knowledge about it at all.
Ok.
Letting someone stay in a tent in one spot is rewarding them?
Would you consider that being rewarded if that was you?
