Reply to comment by haroldhecuba88 in McPherson Square homeless camp to be cleared two months early, NPS says by Ruze42

they seem to be conflating vouchers and shelters. not exactly sure how someone would do a bed check for a voucher recipient lol.

either way, i don't have any insight into shelters but have plenty of experience with addiction via family members. listening to people on here you'd think shelters are military boot camps. my guess is the rules exist not for the people who struggle to follow them, but for everyone else trying to maintain sobriety and stability. like yeah, no shit you can't be high and stay in a shelter, or wander in at 3am, or bang your girlfriend, and so on. people following the rules are trying to get their shit together and youre being an asshole. that said, as mentioned i don't have experience with them, so i could be totally off.

100%. Your basic premise is accurate regardless of rules. People are trying to get it together, maybe even some are families. Clean requires clean. Life is hard enough for some people, they don't need disfunction or toxicity around when they are trying so hard to get it together.
