The first step is to have a little dose of reality. The world isn’t sunshine and lollipops, and the proposed solutions just end up creating slum-housing and spreading the problem around. I’ve seen it put into effect before with horrible outcomes. The path to hell is paved with good intentions and all…
My dose of reality is realizing that other countries have already solved this problem. This isn’t a closed book test.
We as a country are actively putting the needs of Elon Musk over the needs of 435,000 people sleeping on the streets at night.
Your quote is actually brilliant, because the other interpretation is when people HAVE intention to do something but do nothing. That’s exactly what I’m arguing against, doing nothing.
“The only thing necessary for the triumph of evil is for good men to do nothing”
How does telling you the truth about the homeless population benefit me in any way, shape, or form?
You haven’t passed the bar to call me “selfish”. Sure, I might be an asshole, but this isn’t one of those times either. The reality is that we can’t help everyone, and some people aren’t saveable. You can’t point to Sweden or Finland as answers either, because they have the highest per-capita drug deaths of other euro nations.

This phrase relates to the active resistance of people doing evil things. Holy crap you can’t even get your retort to make any sense.
You’re not a realist. You are just a selfish asshole.

Reality? As if the problem is not spread around already. HeLpInG ThESe pEoPle WoUlD bE WoRSe.
Just say what you really think instead of dancing around it. Maybe then someone can have a conversation with you that will actually make a difference.
