"It's not THEIR public space... its other's' public space!".

Awww are they disrespecting your space by having a meal that day?

No it’s more when they start pissing and shitting on them while creating garbage and destroying the grass.

I find it incredibly ignorant that you don’t see the difference between the two and want tax paying citizens to continue to pay to repair the space

Do you complain about tax money every time it’s wasted? Maybe take a look at the military as a place to divert this energy. Or shut the fuck up and do something to help people in need if you don’t like the way it is being done currently. Which I agree is ineffective. You’re just pointing the anger at the homeless because it’s easier than examining the systemic societal problems which have created a complex problem. Yeah it sucks to see someone so fucked up they’re doing drugs in public and leaving trash around. If you sat on your ass and relaxed at all in the last week, you had time to improve the situation at least a little. If you’re not trying to fix the problem, you’re just another worthless complainer sitting around doing nothing. And yes, you should feel a responsibility to help others. As others have noted doubt helps you at times in life. Do better.
