This is nuts--would they prefer those homeless camp somewhere that they're NOT welcome? It's not as if the city would be free of homeless people if they succeed in stopping this one guy from hostinghttps://twitter.com/schmangee/status/1052552712720670721 …
This isn't about emotions, it's about pragmatism: arresting people for nuisance stuff like that never puts them away for good, and rarely puts them away for more than a night. Then they're right back at it again. I see it every day: I would 100% prefer someone take them in

As for NGO "safe houses" what exactly do you think shelters are? Do you think people don't oppose those too? I don't ultimately care where they stay so long as they're off the street: if shelters can't accomplish this, I don't see a problem with letting a volunteer try instead

Because of zoning. Certain areas are zone that only a set number of people can live in a square acreage. Do you want New Dehli in the suburbs and rural areas of America? If you can't fix a problem then you keep it contained.

Ya funny story, the expenses that zoning laws add to homeownership and renting are a huge factor in why so many people can't get a place to live in the first place. Allow smaller houses, closer together--you can go pretty far in that direction w/o turning into India
-
Again, this is about pragmatism: do you want fewer homeless people on the street or not? If zoning both contributes to homelessness AND fails to keep them out of your neighborhood, it needs to be fixed
-
It will result in shittier situation for people who saved up enough to buy a house in the suburbs or rural area. I refuse to sacrifice that. I would rather have homeless people on the streets
-
"I would rather have them on the streets" so why are you complaining dipshit
-
Because you are proposing that these people be allowed to live in areas zoned for lower population density
-
And you're saying you'd rather they prowl those areas instead--knock yourself out, I guess
