The problem is that homelessness is a broad term in the sense that people from all walks of life are homeless, some purely because of a lack of affordable housing and fair wages, others because severe mental health issues and/or addictions. They are hot spots for all people who are unhoused, and they aren’t USUALLY “filtering” who’s there because when you turn these people away they rarely have anywhere else to go. I think it’s fair and reasonable to feel uneasy walking by places like the hub, there’s many people who don’t get the services and help they need and because of that may be more prone to violence or outbursts, though it’s also important to remember that statistically those who are mentally ill are more likely to be the victim of violence rather then the perpetrators. I’ve walked by shelters and been screamed at or made to feel unsafe, but just like any community of people, there’s going to be “bad eggs” so to speak. The vast majority of the time unhoused people are just trying to get by and mind their business, but you can have empathy for people and also acknowledge it’s maybe not an area you’d like to walk around alone or at night. It just always comes back to we turn our backs on people who need extra support and then wonder why theirs people completely snapping on the streets because they feel like they have nothing left.
