Amazingly, you think because someone has a mental illness that they chose to live on the street.

No, I don’t. I’m a therapist that works at a mental health clinic, so I’d wager I have a better understanding of the psychosocial conditions affecting these people than you do. And I know the feeling psychosocial impacts have on the homeless better than you do. I’ve seen and worked with people living on the street. Can you claim to have the same experience?

Jesus Christ, do you even know what you’re talking about?

I’m not going to waste my time with you, because you haven’t demonstrated you have even an inkling of an understanding of what you’re dealing with.

Get educated before you spout off, nitwit.

Your refusal to acknowledge their existence is what is cruel.

You’re stupid if you think this is the effect anti-homeless architecture is having in the places it’s being implemented. They have very little impact to begin with. I don’t pretend to think that shelters can’t be improved, but if people refuse to utilize the resources we have, we must either come up with new resources or reevaluate our investments in the resources we currently employ.

You can’t disconnect the problems you are pretending are separate.

And what’s wrong with that? These people should be getting help, not taking up public space. I realize that it probably seems to you like an abuse campaign to insist they sleep somewhere else, but I would argue you’re an enabler who naively thinks they’re helping while actually just cooperating with these poor people’s poor adaptation strategies by giving them a place to stay in public space that isn’t actually a safe to stay in. Check yourself. Do you actually have these people’s best interests in mind, or are you just virtue signaling about the homeless, a class you see as less than yourself?

Nah, because these people are always going to be here. Do you have a better solution or are you just hand-wringing about people you don’t have to deal with in your daily life?

What an idiotic take.

I think RFK and a bunch of other people are anti-science because they’re hyper-Christian, and science is inconvenient for their stupid beliefs.

Religion is almost always the problem.

Depends: do you want rules that apply equally to everyone or rules that apply selectively based on your demographic status?

Personally, I choose the former.

What you're citing in Australia isn't comparable to what you're suggesting happen in America. Employing a few foreign cops who happen to be living in your country is completely different than replacing entire police departments with foreign police that you bring over from another country.

And please, don't lecture me about taking the long view of history. I'm opposed to your idea because I don't think it will work for a variety of reasons. The fact that there's no historical precedent for it is just one argument.
