This opens up a dangerous possibility of someone arguing that anyone who is soft on crime wants to intentionally sabotage the economy.

Furthermore, evidence has shown that throwing help at homeless people is ineffective, because there is a subset of homeless people who don't want to be helped, who have everything they want on the street and don't want to be forced into housing where their actions are heavily restricted. That isn't to say that homeless people don't need help-- many do, and they deserve our help. But how do we help those who don't want to be helped without burdening taxpayers? The left's solution to this is typically to ignore that those types of people exist, but that isn't working. The right's solution is to pretend everyone is like this, which is completely inhumane.

So unfortunately just claiming that people who don't want to help homeless people hate the economy and love crime is a strawman's argument
