That's easy to type for woke cred from other people that don't do anything except flap their jaws. What are you doing to help these people besides pretending you don't mind litter, screaming at 3am and dirty needles on your sidewalk.

You can be empathetic to the problem/people and also acknowledge the effects/repercussions of the influx... those two things are not mutually exclusive

Oh I’m personally not doing a whole lot to help the homeless, that’s what the government and non-profits are for and I have a life to live. I agree that the two things are not exclusive. I’m just tickled by how everyone wants to solve the crisis and house the homeless but nobody wants it in their neighborhood. We see it over and over, most recently I’m thinking of the hotel in Warwick. As you say, it’s VERY easy for folks here to type up their thoughts on the solution to the homelessness crisis for their own woke cred…. Then they turn around and complain. What are you doing to help?
