People for the sake of making an emotional argument will boil this down as some kind of irrational hatred of homeless people. It turns out, people don't like the smell of urine and feces and garbage and drug use and petty theft and property damage in their neighborhood.
Short of solving homelessness and curing mental illness, people are just trying to solve the immediate problems in their own neighborhood while elected officials with the capability of actually doing anything to solve these kinds of problems continue to prove their inability to do so. This is literally all that any of us can do on our own.
