At least where I live, homeless people are a menace.

It's possible there are more around that you can't see. I check out r/homeless subreddit occasionally, and the people there say that the obvious, mess-making and rude homeless population gives the rest a bad name. Many unhoused people choose to stay out of sight, stash their belongings somewhere and then clean themselves up when going out and about. Many even have jobs.

And yeah, more funds should go towards getting housing and other help to all homeless people, regardless of who they are and how they act.
