Ok but you're still attacking a point they didn't make.

Someone said the answer was homeless shelters. The person you're attacking said "homeless shelters aren't enough, you need more". They did not say "build anti-homeless structures instead of shelters"

Shelters solve the problem for many but don't do anything to help the type of person causing trouble. That's all they're saying.

    That isn’t true at all. If there’s shelters, the other issues would be dealt with by the police, like non-homeless. The fact that people are making a distinction at all is entirely the issue, and what I’ve pointed out. And thank you for proving my point by being one of those people.

    I’m attacking the fact that they’re stigmatizing homeless like they’re any different than non-homeless. That bias and prejudice is what’s causing these issues. Treat homeless like they are human and they won’t act out anymore than nonhomeless. Shocking eh?

    It's hilarious that you're suggesting the police would help someone with mental health issues while pretending to know more than anyone in this thread. I'm not up for a dick measuring contest here but I'd wager I've got a lot more experience - good AND bad - based on your replies.

    I didn't prove your point. You're being needlessly pedantic and getting pissed for no reason. And if you actually were as morally-superior as you pretend to be, you'd know the proper term is "unhoused"

    Nice job with the fallacies and putting words in my mouth.

    Police would be for the carts and bottle throwing.

    Hospitals and shelters deal with mental health issues. I’ve never seen a homeless shelter without counselors, but I do suppose places would operate that way in other places.

    Why are you even suggesting the police would deal with mental health issues? This is the stigmatizing I’m talking about. And it would be no different between a homeless person or a non-homeless in these situations. So thanks for proving my point again.

    And it’s not unhoused, are they called unhoused shelters and societies? No, because you’re being facetious and attacking points I didn’t bring up because you didn’t like being clumped into the group stigmatizing homeless.
