Move to Japan, your sympathy really becomes tested when you see how people behave here.
First of all families actually take care of their own instead of kicking them out onto the street, and those that do live on the street still respect public and private property (in general) and due to this respect they have better facilities. Public washrooms are everywhere because they are not destroyed, you can sleep overnight in any public park, but tenters are always packed up and out by morning, one does not need to worry about needles being left everywhere, and many restaurants in larger urban areas actually have special windows where at the end of the night they leave excess food for the homeless (I couldn’t imagine what would happen in Vancouver of restaurants did that, the homeless would probably camp out around and crowd the outside of such a restaurant and I’m sure property damage and theft would eventually follow.)
It seems to me that the homeless who are sleeping in the tent cities in Vancouver are a mix of those who are mentally incapable of taking care of themselves and need to be hospitalized and cared for, and for them we need to take better care, and those who are simply just losers. Criminal junkie assholes who live on the streets because they don’t want to even abide by the simplest rules of social housing or other shelter facilities.
What we need to do is find a racist, sexist or homophobic comment that each one of those in the parks have said in their lives, such as refusing to list their pronouns, publish them and then hopefully they lose their support from the far woke left.
