> The thing that frustrates me about that is that the people who pay for it will get something from it. They get cleaner, safer streets.
At what price? What alternatives exist to them?
As I have gotten older I have slowly been getting tired of supporting people who not only do not pull their weight, but also whine and demand even more from those of us paying for the services they receive. Not only they are not grateful for receiving social services that their taxes are unable to fund, they also have the stones to blame those of us paying for everything for all their problems.
I think we already allocate enough money to solve the problem. Spending more will likely just reinforce the industrial homelessness complex. We need to change how the money is spent.
But also, clearly what we spend money on isn’t fixing the problems. The homeless know that better than we do. They’re right to complain.

Sorry for the rant.
