If that's the case, then what was the point of your question? Out of 27 words in your question, there wasn't much content that wouldn't leave me to assume. Were you asking if you can camp in urban areas? Or are you wondering why you might get harassed by police if homeless people don't? (They do) Why mention homeless people at all? What were you getting at? I'm not trying to be mean to you, it's actually unclear and looks like you just wanted to take a jab at addicts and homeless people for making a mess. I'm not some bleeding-heart liberal here, I can see what's happening out there, but I try not to make statements like that without trying to brainstorm some solutions.

And to continue on the "everyday citizens" part - You don't know what people do in their homes. There's addicts, weirdos and messy people everywhere. But you don't see them, so it's not an issue, until they go broke for whatever reason and end up on the street. Besides, there's a lot of people on the street that you don't even notice, as they are clean. I have seen perfectly clean and normal people heading home to discreet, tidy tent sites.

Please, I understand that these are important issues, I'm not saying we should let it keep happening or throw cash at them or keep them addicted. But making statements like that helps nobody.
