Anti-homeless architecture is meant to encourage homeless people to actually go to homeless shelters where they might get help finding affordable housing, not to mention help for whatever issues they have going on in their lives. It’s meant to combat the problem of some homeless people choosing to avoid getting help and continue to bury themselves in drugs/alcohol and sleep on things like public benches, where they prevent other people from using them for their intended purpose.
There’s nothing wrong with wanting people to get the help they need and stop being an inconvenience for the rest of their community. Are you against homeless outreach programs too? Do you think people should just be allowed to set up shack wherever they please in public spaces? I’m not trying to pretend that the lack of affordable housing isn’t at the core of the problem, but even if we had enough of that, there’d still be mentally ill people and drug addicts that would prefer to live on the street, just to avoid social workers pressuring them to address their problems.
Amazingly, you think because someone has a mental illness that they chose to live on the street.
You: "I'm sure if given the chance to have a place to live, an unhoused person would reject it"
They remove benches and rest stops/bus shelters to stop the unhoused from occupying them to the detriment of people using the service. And you see nothing wrong with that.
It's very obvious to most why this is done.
But not you.
No, I don’t. I’m a therapist that works at a mental health clinic, so I’d wager I have a better understanding of the psychosocial conditions affecting these people than you do. And I know the feeling psychosocial impacts have on the homeless better than you do. I’ve seen and worked with people living on the street. Can you claim to have the same experience?
Jesus Christ, do you even know what you’re talking about?
I’m not going to waste my time with you, because you haven’t demonstrated you have even an inkling of an understanding of what you’re dealing with.
Get educated before you spout off, nitwit.
Says they are a therapist and that they know better than anyone. Doesn't know anything about me.
HOW EMBARRASSING IT MUST BE FOR YOU TO EXIST.
Right, the person throwing insults in all caps says I’m the one who should be embarrassed. 🙄
You still don't get it, do you?
You have no idea how you appear to be insulting because your head is so far up your ass you smell like meconium.
I made a neutral comment, stating my opinion without any insults, and have been getting insulting comments like yours ever since. You want to throw barbs, but object to them being thrown back.
Grow the fuck up. I’m done with you in particular.
Tedesche. I really don't think you are a therapist. If you are one, I feel really bad for your clients. Do you talk to them like that? That's not good.
I am, and no, I don’t. Shocking, the idea that I engage with strangers online in a casual capacity differently than I do with my patients in a professional capacity.
I'm just responding with the same energy that you gave me.
"Grow up", that is rich coming from you. Lol You made my day, thanks.
Edit: BTW the meconium statement was a dig at your maturity. I'm sad you didn't get it but I'm not surprised.
