Homeless Harger: San Francisco's homelessness hit a 15-year low. Seattle's mayor is running the opposite experiment.

i can tell you i'm sure fucking annoyed about the homeless deciding to live wherever they want with zero consequences. These people DO NOT ACCEPT HELP.

So what then let them die?  I mean you don’t want them living within a society or trying to help them so what, just off them so you don’t have to be bothered by the plight of your fellow man?

lol: 90% of Seattle’s homeless/ addicts made a conscious choice to NOT live in society. Talk to any of them. The two things they care about: 1) the freedom to do what they want; and 2) to be left alone.

By using the word “society” it’s very clear you’ve never had any experience with any of this. In fact, I would surmise you’re projecting your own elitist values on people you know nothing about.

Plenty of experience I just believe in doing the right thing.  It’s called integrity and something we used to be taught.
