They said stop killing us, but do they really want it to stop?

      But they’re much more likely to positively “change” in that environment, plus it gets them off the streets. It’s a win for everybody. I really don’t see the problem either way.

      You are going to need proof that giving someone housing causes a positive change vs someone working for it and earning it themselves.

      (1) Google is just a click away. (2) Regardless, why does it concern you if someone is struggling with addiction while they’re housed? Isn’t the point to curb homelessness and crime in the city? Again, what’s the problem?

      You haven’t provided one reason why housing the homeless is bad. The onus of proof is now on you. Tell me, what’s wrong with giving them a place to stay?

      Homeless shelters increase crime. There’s a reason. https://crim.sas.upenn.edu/sites/default/files/Ridgeway_Effect%20of%20Emergency%20Shelters-v5_1.2.2018.pdf …

      “This study aimed to examine the effect of homeless shelters on crime in Vancouver. The opening of a shelter appears to be linked with a significant increase in property crime in the shelter’s immediate vicinity.” Lol come on

      That’s your retort? No evidence to refute it? Just “come on?” 👌🏾

      My retort is that the study you linked to doesn't come to the same conclusion as you presented it with.

      (1) They don't. (2) The study you linked to doesn't come to that conclusion.

      Conclusions. While homeless shelters are critical.., they appear to impact property crime in the surrounding community. Shelters may warrant greater security to control property crime, but the data suggest any increase in security need not extend beyond 400 meters. READ.

          I think you need to read it closer, friend, because even what you just quoted doesn’t say what you think and claim it does.
