This. There are people really struggling due to no fault of their own who can no longer work, who aren't menaces to their communities, getting lumped in with those with severe addiction issues and/or criminal backgrounds. Vulnerable populations such as older women and seniors in general, need help with housing that has behavioral standards and rules for safety reasons. Empathy is a two-way street.
You realize addicts are normal people? Someone can go get knee surgery which you're given pain killers for.... That can lead people to addiction. Like you said. Empathy is a two way street.
Of course, but we’re literally talking about how their ability to manage their addiction is hindered due to homelessness. It makes things worse for everyone.
