Google it, I'm not your servant
Ok it's made up, got it.
Just watch any imterview with a shelter advocate they will tell you that there is a percentage of homeless yhat will either refuse shelter or leave soon afterward. The reasons can be mental health related, barrier entry, or a personailty that just doesn't follow rules like after x:pm it is quiet time.
Yeah, 'there's a percentage' of any group that won't accept help. The idea we just don't do something because some of the people won't accept help is insane. We'd literally never do anything ever. I was responding to:
Yeah half is wrong, it's a margin.
Lol what a little fragile world view you have that when confronted with a hurdle in the homeless population, you simply ignore it and say it doesn't exist while plugging your ears.
I didn't say it didn't exist, I took your quote just shrugging off doing anything because 'half' (lol) of people won't accept help, and said "Hey what if we didn't throw all of them out to die if some of them don't want help."
What a sad, self-centred view you have, where you can just plug your ears to people begging for help because you can demonize some of them.
Fantastic to hear from the NIMBY crowd though, sorry you have to suffer watching others suffer in your view sometimes.
