Thanks for sharing.

A lot of people who don't have much experience helping with the homeless don't realise how dangerous it can often be and tend to err on the side of optimism.

We've had to call police on numerous occasions because of instances of physical assault. Of course, the vast majority of people we help are lovely, but it helps to be realistic to keep yourself and others safe.

I think a lot of leftists here have never interacted with or see homeless on a daily basis and believe in the whole "nobility of the homeless" myth.
