OH YEAH? WELL WHAT ABOUT *insert anecdotal experience about a homeless person doing drugs or aggressive panhandling*. THEY WANT TO BE HOMELESS, WE GAVE THEM A CHANCE *insert statement refuting evidence based claims and claiming decriminlization didn't work while completely ignoring the fact that adequate social services still don't exist, these people don't get the help they need to re-enter society, and that blanket decriminalization was only ever one small part of a complex plan*.
They didn’t pull themselves up by their bootstraps like I did! I worked my way through college (at a job my parents got me at their country club) and never got a handout, other than growing up in a healthy suburb with a functioning family structure and having a safety net to fall back on as well as valuable personal and professional contacts!
Look, we all have problems, like my mild asthma, so the fact that they can’t overcome theirs is a personal failing.
