You can care and advocate for more than one thing, just so you know. Housing someone is less tax money on you personally than keeping them on the street costs and there are more empty living spaces than there are folks without a home.
But, go ahead and villainize the people with nowhere to go and no other option, they’re definitely the problem, aren’t they?
Edit: You’re literally just bitching about your job and asking for this to not affect you personally. That’s a shitty as fuck take on the situation.
I feel like you didn’t actually read what I wrote. I ABSOLUTELY WANT THEM TO BE HOUSED AND CARED FOR. I am in no way villainizing them, this situation is not their fault. The reason we have a giant crisis of homelessness and drug use is not because we “let them”. The system needs to be fixed so that population can be helped and the numbers falling into that are cut. In the meantime though, we are doing nothing and it doesn’t work!
Yes… I was in favor of a lot of it… I was trying to educate people that there is more to the issue of free bus fare. Because I’m a transit worker who used to think free bus fare was a no brainer, but now believe it is unworkable without FIRST significantly improving other issues.
Okay, I can’t tell if you’re trolling at this point so unless you convince me otherwise I’m disengaging here.
Say what you think I am saying and what you think is incorrect about it and I will say if you are wrong about what I am saying, wrong about your point, or right and I am wrong, either in how I communicated, or in what I am currently believing to be true.

This is specifically a post about doing something. Notice that first box of words in the picture?
