It doesn't need to be one or the other.

You point out an issue while also expressing empathy and concern for said issue but immediately branded as a bad guy for the former.
Fine, my post may not be worded perfectly, but if people read into it that I was saying "fuck homeless people, let them freeze and die because I don't like litter litter that they produce" that's on you, not me.
It's a discussion looking for a solution that everyone benefits from

This is assuming I believe OP: it •shouldn’t• be one or the other. But right now, it might be. While state and federal government and NGOs work on bigger solutions, all of us have to set our priorities. Mine is human life over the inconvenience of litter (I’m not saying anything about the shit because I spend plenty of time around the park and haven’t seen any).
