    Dude I live like 5 mins from downtown east side Vancouver, aka the area world famous for it’s homeless and drug addiction crisis. Yeah no shit it sucks to be around people like that, that has absolutely nothing to do with what we’re talking about.

    Making homelessness illegal does not solve homelessness, it scatters the problem. Vancouver’s new mayor did a street sweep and wow wouldn’t you know it, homeless people are still homeless, they’re just more spread out now. You say you’re empathetic towards them but you’re advocating for a “solution” that solves absolutely nothing.

    Stop doing mental gymastics to rationalize these ridiculous tactics.
