    It’s pretty common.

    Most people think they’re the good guys, he probably had good intentions.

    But who knows what played into his judgement? Article said he owned the whole block and neighbors hated him, was he a shitty landlord that was charging people to park on the street too?

    And he’s inserting himself into the lives of people in incredibly stressful situations.

    Like, it’s the other side of it. Lots of good people do evil shit because they’re backed into a corner. At the end of the day humans are just animals and with enough stress that’s how we act

    Dude probably didn’t understand how desperate people could get. Which is the main takeaway, and the entire reason civilizations need safety nets. Desperate people are bad for everyone, so it benefits everyone when we guarantee basic needs are met.

    It’s literally cheaper than how we’re currently handling it, lots of other reasons to do it too.
