    The problem is that when you do help people, more people keep showing up who want help too.

    Which is why if it happens on a federal level, then people don’t congregate in the few places that aren’t as worse as possible.

    If we handle it on a city or even state level, then people spit out by the worst states will always migrate, subsidizing the cost of the policies for those shitty states. And providing the incentive to be as cruel as possible.

    That’s the thing with the logic against it, you end up arguing that it should be done on a federal level and agreeing with the person you’re arguing with.

    Always worth the time for a reply tho. Hopefully it sticks.

      I agree that it should happen on a federal level, although I don’t think it will as long as cities like New York and San Francisco are paying for it. I’m arguing against people who think that New York and San Francisco shouldn’t be creating any public areas that aren’t for homeless people.
