MODERATORS
The annoying thing is that there will very likely be a homeless shelter in this city that he's not allowed to sleep in because they have a zero tolerance drug policy.
Your precious taxes are still going to get spent on cleaning up their mess, regardless of you wanting them to be helped or not.
That guy would walk down to the prison and give them his pay check volenteerily.
It's annoying because people who do drugs still need homes. Also not every drug user is aggressive or disruptive or whatever other reason the shelter would have for not allowing drug users.
You might be right, but if the requirement for shelter is to not use drugs, why is it the shelter's responsibility to alter their requirements rather than the person who's seeking shelter's responsibility to abide by the requirements? They aren't owed anything, they're being offered shelter at someone else's cost. If I'm hungry and a restaurant offers to give me free food, I can't then get angry that they have a "no shirt no service policy" and require me to wear a shirt to receive my free food.
