While I don't like homeless/mentally ill people occupying all the space that's intended for public use like parks, not having a social safety net/public projects for poor and homeless people to take advantage of temporary housing while they get back on their feet is just cruel. Everyone is just 2 or 3 unlucky days from being homeless themselves.
To me this seems like a fair rule, it's just fucked how bad we've been lagging as a society in having affordable housing.
No, it is not a fair rule, fuck off
You think people should just be allowed to sleep on sidewalks and parks? A sidewalk is for getting from place to place, a park is where I take my children to play. They're not places to live while you nurse a drug addiction or wait to die of hypothermia.
I acknowledged that things are being done out of order and this should only be enforced once homeless people have a publicly funded alternative for temporary housing, but never being allowed to remove homeless people from public spaces just ruins those spaces for everyone.
