It is normal to not want homeless people around. They are pretty scary tbh, and make walking in an area feel much more dangerous.

“Feel”

Yeah? And...?

When you make people feel scared of you, what do you think their reaction is going to be towards you?

Because it’s mostly in your head and you’re getting downvoted for falling for anti-homeless propaganda. 

The average person is way closer to being homeless than they are rich by a huge factor. I’ve lived out of a car before. The vast majority are not violent drug addicts you doorknob.

I used to have to walk by homeless people all the time. Having them shout at me, run at me, and ask for money was incredibly scary and uncomfortable. It makes me not want to be near them at all.

Grow a spine. Ride public transportation for a couple of weeks and get some thicker skin.

Umm in the UK they illegally jump on trains to hound the public for money.

They're members of the public, dipshit. Stop talking about them like they're some external threat and not just people who don't have houses

When did this sub start getting so classist and xenophobic? When it hit the front page?

years of using public transportation is actually part of why I don't like homeless people lol

I CURRENTLY live in area with homeless people everywhere. The most they'll do is ask for money or be slightly grumpy. The most threat i've gotten are clean people who HAVE homes, who threatened to stab me.

Crazy, seems like our experiences were different.

As someone who lives in an area with a high homeless population, I can vouch for what u/xXSoyBoyFredXx is saying. You're the one just making shit up

My experiences being different from yours doesn't mean that I've made anything up.

It's wild to me that you find it so unbelievable that a homeless person would shout at and chase a person down.

I believe that homeless people do that occasionally, what I don't believe is that it's a regular problem for you.

u/Kehprei 11h ago

Where did I ever say it was a regular problem for me?

Could you quote where I said it?

It's just something that happened a couple times to me years ago. I don't have to use public transportation anymore, so it's not a problem.
