A homeless shelter just shifts a problem geographically. All the misfits who used to be dispersed, all move to this one place. They gain shelter but the neighbourhood gets all the city’s social problems, concentrated.
Maybe a compromise is possible.
Instead of just housing, build housing & workplaces & leisure & amenities all in one place. So the residents tend to congregate inside, out of sight, rather then in the street. This way also has a real chance of helping the homeless out of poverty.

Yes that’s literally what people want. Not just a few cunts but probably a majority. More than would openly admit it.
But you have to compromise if you want to get anything done fast. Starting a legal battle with your entire new neighbourhood sounds like a recipe for failure. And in this case the compromise solution could be the optimal one.
And you should totally advertise it like this, “the problem being pushed away from them and out of sight”. It’s important to be able to understand their perspective, even if you don’t agree. Then be able to talk in the language of your audience.
BTW you don’t need to quote the whole comment. That’s more for if you want to highlight a small part of it.
I can see why people would object.

And here we have a perfect example of someone who “cares deeply about the problem being pushed away from them and out of sight.”
I honestly didn’t expect a reply quite so soon and quite so on the nose.
