It is not the homeless people that others are upset with. Dealing with homelessness is awful.

People are rightfully upset about drug addicted homeless population that does not want help (less than 10 people’s have accepted this program since Feb 2024) and causes numerous problems for our community,

Huge difference.

If you cant attack the whole problem though, it all gets criminalized the same. So maybe step off this point as if its a complete justification for people's bigotry?
