Yes, to sleep but not encamp

the homeless should be taken care of by our welfare system. allowing them to sleep on the streets of bad for the public and bad for them.

Homeless people sleeping in public is

a) a public nuisance (very smelly)
b) a security risk for children - these homeless people are very likely to be on drugs

encamping takes more of the governments time and efforts to tackle, with private properties illegaly occupied or public properties ruined by their presence

Homelessness is a choice if you refuse a shelter place or if you refuse housing then you’ve been given two options. There has to be a reason why you chose not to take them options. It could be for your drug abuse, alcohol abuse, you may have mental health issues or maybe you’re just some narcissist that likes the feeling of being seen as someone struggling against the elements.
Either way, homeless should be criminalised. There should be an incentive for you to after get off your backside and actually get into a way of living conducive with western society. Homeless, this has…  Read more also increased crime in areas that we live drug abuse, alcohol abuse and anti social behaviour . We have basically lit candle made of **** and now we smell the effects of that (i’m trying to explain that we started this problem originally by not enforcing rules and now it’s got to the point where beyond the job how the problem is grown and it’s only by criminalising and regulating how homeless people live is the only way we will actually get the world back on track)

There needs to be more support in place for vulnerable people, there is no need for homelessness. Supporting the vulnerable before they get to this stage needs to be stepped up, housing, addiction treatment, mental and physical health care should be readily available. There is enough money in the UK that nobody should be homeless, or in poverty. Punishing those who are homeless is not the answer, changing the system and ensuring more support is.
