What were doing for the homeless junkies is not working. It does nothing but enable them. Our town (6000 people) had a few homeless maybe 25 or so 4 years ago. 'Warming hearts' set up a soup kitchen for them. Then they brought in Atco trailers with 8 rooms in them where they could charge their phones, shower, sleep, etc. Then gov't contracted owners of an old motel to supply them rooms. Cops and ambulances there, often multiple times a day administering narcan. Ties up our police and ambulances and emergency at hospital. The thieving is out of control. Junkies fighting and tweaking out around town. Can't go to the bank machine in the evening as the banks have to lock their money machine vestibules because junkies go in there to shoot up and crap, piss and leave their needles and garbage. I could go on and on.
All these programs do is enable junkies. It has never been easier than it is today to be a fulltime career junkie with society, police, ambulances and do gooders going around picking up the pieces behind these people. Because of all the services the do gooders in our town provide the numbers of zombies has increased 5 fold in 3 years. Most of them are not from here now.
Not much different than feeding stray cats, feed them they will come. Then they will crap and piss all over your property in appreciation.
Tired of hearing how they are disavantaged victims, etc. I suppose some are but the vast majority are their of their own free will. Sick of politicians and do gooders making excuses and enabling them. Sick of the courts and gov't doing nothing but making it easier for them to get addicted, stay addicted and force society to put up with them.
