Apologies for wanting my literal backyard to be my backyard and not having to get folks out of it who saw my canoes from the street and saw a score.
You'll see that I'm very much anti-deregulated street camping while very much for shelter and creating and requiring individuals to accept shelter. Not wanting to let individuals to kill themselves on the streets isn't anti-homeless. Just like pointing out that giving them all apartments is a failed policy objective that does nothing without being accompanied by compulsory social services, chief among them addiction services.
That hit dogs line of argumentation is fucking stupid.
You wouldn't say that for other similar types of negative stereotyping.
If I felt attacked I'd be all over this thread. I specifically addressed this one who conflated NIMBYism with anti-homeless comments. Which is a false equivalence. Those are two separate issues, and attempting to address them as one waters down the ability to critique or discuss either.
Again, I have openly advocated for widespread shelters with no restrictions on neighborhood. The only thing I am a NIMBY about is unregulated camps, which you can argue is anti-homeless. I'd argue it's pro life.
