    Amazingly, you think because someone has a mental illness that they chose to live on the street.

    You: “I’m sure if given the chance to have a place to live, an unhoused person would reject it”

    They remove benches and rest stops/bus shelters to stop the unhoused from occupying them to the detriment of people using the service. And you see nothing wrong with that.

    It’s very obvious to most why this is done.

    But not you.

      No, I don’t. I’m a therapist that works at a mental health clinic, so I’d wager I have a better understanding of the psychosocial conditions affecting these people than you do. And I know the feeling psychosocial impacts have on the homeless better than you do. I’ve seen and worked with people living on the street. Can you claim to have the same experience?

      Jesus Christ, do you even know what you’re talking about?

      I’m not going to waste my time with you, because you haven’t demonstrated you have even an inkling of an understanding of what you’re dealing with.

      Get educated before you spout off, nitwit.

        Says they are a therapist and that they know better than anyone. Doesn’t know anything about me.

        HOW EMBARRASSING IT MUST BE FOR YOU TO EXIST.

        Oh, the irony! 🤣

        You do realize you’re just embarrassing yourself all over this thread, right?

            Claiming that they have experience working with homeless, but demonstrating that they’re a callous asshole (and probably very bad at their job, if they aren’t outright lying).
