Maybe if certain members of our community didn’t spend so much time being afraid of people who are of a lower class than they are, then we could stop worrying about putting in anti-human installations because heaven forbid you get solicited walking into a store.
It’s not those that struggle with homelessness or income that make our communities worse, it’s the people that fear, hate, and look down on those people.

Following this hypothetical, I assume you’re fine with strangers parking in front of your house and on your drive way while coming in and looking through your fridge for dinner.

You're projecting a couple of posters' disdain for homeless people onto Safeway. As has been mentioned by most of the posters that actually shop there, it's not a bunch of homeless people causing the ruckus, it's panhandlers with nothing better to do.
What I said to you in my post was that if this was happening on your property, you would not be ok with it. At least, I would think. Stoned teens, drunks, crackheads, and some homeless people incessantly loitering, begging people on the sidewalk for money, just outside your front door. Pretty much the same thing, except that if people start to avoid your block, you don't lose any money. And you're smart enough to know this. I don't doubt that you see that clearly.
But this looked like a fun internet crusade for a day or two, right? Sliver hates homeless people, so does Safeway, and so do most of y'all!!
