There are homeless shelters for a reason. The city wants to know what the homeless population is. Besides, this sets a bad precedent for non-white invaders to squat 100 people to a plot of land sizeable for 5-10

Homeless people avoid shelters bro how can you not know this
-
I don't care, they are there for a reason. Use it or suffer.
-
imbecile, using it is more suffering than not using it, otherwise guess what: they would--look what this mentality gets you!
-
okay and what about the suffering of the neighbors? Do they just not matter? What about the sudden influx of vagrants into a previously undisturbed community? People tend to be homeless for a reason, likely mental disorders or drug use that this man cannot manage
-
dude we have plenty of homeless in my city and I take the bus to work and deal with them every day: I'm not a fan. But they are *already* here and *already* make neighbors suffer even w/o a guy playing host. I'd rather they all have somewhere to be which they'll actually go to.
-
If this man can't manage them, he'll figure that out, and the city will be back to square one (Akron isn't exactly a lovely place to begin with--lotta desperation there from what I can tell). If he can, so much the better for everyone except the immediately adjacent houses.

They can be arrested for loitering, being drunk in public, and a myriad of other crimes when in public spaces. You set a horrible precedent by allowing emotions to sway you in this case because you just know NGOs will set up legal "safe houses" to ruin previously nice areas

There's always SOME town that ends up being the most generous supporter--my point is there are no permanent solutions for homelessness on the table, and shuffling them around is just asinine

duh, but that's hardly on the table, is it
-
and so long as that's not an option, guess what? they're gonna be SOMEWHERE--would you rather they stay around people who don't want them there, or with the guy who (for whatever reason) is happy to host them?

ya dude you're acting as if I've never dealt with homeless people before, an absence of comfortable alternatives isn't enough of a deterrent on its own

The extent of the nuisances behind the closure aren't nearly what I would expect. It sounds more like something to tweak, not discard
-
Require them to adhere to better sanitation standards, make it clear that begging and bothering their neighbors is grounds for expulsion, know your campmates and check with the police before admitting someone new. The other problems are just inevitable when you get a large group.

Public and private spaces are only for the maximization if profit in this country. This is such a gross abuse of power by middle class assholes.
