I’m sorry but I think kids should see what could happen to them if they drop out of school,start doing drugs or get in trouble with the law.we don’t know everyone s individual situation but there is nothing to be afraid of they are just people who have been forced to sleep on the street because they have no other options. I’ve been there myself and when ur family turn there back on you and you have the pride that keeps you from asking for help from friends and even strangers you might end up being forced to set up a tent in the woods which is what me and a lot of people did for years in this town it was only cuz of the pandemic and e d d and stimulus $$$ that got me a good vehicle and $$$$ in the bank. I’m still houseless but I got my 4 runner plus I’m at my parents taking care of my mother who has Alzheimer’s and dementia so that gives me access to a shower and home cooked meals. So giving handouts is the human thing to do and it doesn’t enable
Them it just keeps them from having to eat from trash cans or from starving to death.the people who are homeless here In folsom are mostly locals who grew up here so they have every right to be here. Yeah it would be ideal if people could find a spot away from any business or residence but sometimes that’s not possible I know I’ve slept in some areas that I wouldn’t choose but because of exhausting myself out recycling to try and make some $$$$
I would sometimes crash out in area or place I didn’t want to but sometimes your body shuts down and there is not much u can do but get some sleep. So I say leave the sleeping human alone until noon then maybe it’s time for them to move along and find a better sleep spot
But not helping out people with hygiene and food when u can afford it or when u have extra should be a crime and we shouldn’t stop helping people because we would rather them not be posted up where they are
