I feel like you didn't actually read what I wrote. I ABSOLUTELY WANT THEM TO BE HOUSED AND CARED FOR. I am in no way villainizing them, this situation is not their fault. The reason we have a giant crisis of homelessness and drug use is not because we "let them". The system needs to be fixed so that population can be helped and the numbers falling into that are cut. In the meantime though, we are doing nothing and it doesn't work!
This is specifically a post about doing something. Notice that first box of words in the picture?
Yes... I was in favor of a lot of it... I was trying to educate people that there is more to the issue of free bus fare. Because I'm a transit worker who used to think free bus fare was a no brainer, but now believe it is unworkable without FIRST significantly improving other issues.
Okay, I can't tell if you're trolling at this point so unless you convince me otherwise I'm disengaging here. Say what you think I am saying and what you think is incorrect about it and I will say if you are wrong about what I am saying, wrong about your point, or right and I am wrong, either in how I communicated, or in what I am currently believing to be true.
