They also start fires to cook with, because most food banks and SNAP don’t give warm food. You have to heat it yourself. If we loosened this restriction for SNAP there would probably be less fires.
When it comes to theft and drug use, a lot of that isn’t the homeless. Yes some homeless, but most visible homeless literally cannot steal because they can’t even get into stores and if they do they are watched so closely.
Drug use sure. But most homeless can’t afford to use drugs at the same rate as housed people. And drug use itself isn’t an issue, it’s that it’s in public, which they wouldn’t do if they had a house. They also would poop in their own house if they had it. Giving homeless people homes solves a ton of issues with them.
