Sorry to hear that. Please don't give up on the whole unhoused population, many of them are really great people just on the wrong side of a coin flip. There are a number of known people in the general population that cause issues, as well as some people that can not afford their meds or don't take them. But as a whole the community seems to police its self fairly well.

I think that you are roughly a half a mile away from my local, but please make an exception for:
"Highstreet"
Brittany
John

Mathew

Micheal

"Soulman"

they are all great people that the community should support.

We have tried, but cannot afford to lose our business over it. My landlord is done with this and cannot have the issues which they bring in.

Maybe once it settles out we can issue gift cards to those whom we know best and have shown respect for the space. If you’d like, you could come in and pick them up for the folks you know.

How is one to determine the good vs the bad?

Talk to them. Folks out there know who each other are and the ones that are trouble.

The guy is a business owner trying to make a living, not a trained and paid social worker. That’s not a reasonable expectation given the circumstances.

I'm just replying to you. That is how you find out about people, you talk to them and talk to others about them.
