This does seem to be a common problem- when we offer shelter to homeless people, we don't put in sufficient supports, supervision, and services to make sure there are no issues for the neighbors- or provide better conditions for the residents. Then when neighbors complain about predictable issues, we blame THEM for complaining instead of addressing the issues headon. Ask the shelter residents if they would prefer a clean, safe place and I promise that most would be all for it.
