Edit I kinda made this post out of spite for the fact the most previous post [https://slrpnk.net/post/2167450] in this community, whose title I quoted/copied, was getting so many downvotes… At the time I posted this, the previous post had about a 30% downvote rate, and it really, really made me mad. I am relieved tho to see people in the comments here who have real, actual empathy for their fellow humans. Thank you for contributing here. It blows my mind how normalized it is to hate on those who are struggling. Especially in 20fucking23 when so many of us now are on the verge of it ourselves. Let’s be better, everyone - to everyone. I beg you.

      They do. But they don’t have more of a right to it than you do. OP’s idea that some people have greater rights than others is pretty widely regarded as evil.

        OP isn’t saying they have a greater right to housing but that the right to housing outweighs the right to prettyness in public spaces. We can make them prettier by moving them to housing but not just by kicking them out with no housing options.

        It’s better for everyone, including homeless people, to live in homes rather than set up camp in public places where it can cause problems for them and other people. At least that’s what bothered me about the post OP made. Housing-first works for a reason.
