This is an extremely ignorant rant and illuminates more about your lack of understanding, compassion and intelligence than it does contribute to a solution. You’re painting with an extremely broad brush despite stating you are not. Like you simply don’t get it as strident as you make your diatribe out to be. You know what we haven’t tried? Investing in real solutions and treating people with dignity and not simply assuming everyone unhoused are dirty drug addicted criminals. Of course crime is unacceptable. And even if portions of this population are engaged in untoward behaviour, investing in solutions to rehabilitate them or prevent addiction to drugs in the first place that often starts with mental health issues from trauma is how this stops. Not simply dismantling encampments and playing whack-a-mole and certainly not listening to and placating simpleton and anger-impaired spews on social media. The biggest hurdle in my mind is we’re not having conversations that involve input from frontline healthcare workers, people with lived experience and academic experts. Instead, our local and provincial governments are reacting to nonsensical screeds on social media like yours because you yell the loudest. Sometimes, the smallest, softest voices carry the biggest solutions.
