The only difference is the viewpoint of the people who each poster advocated the encampment being moved towards. I can respect to your opinion on this issue even if I disagree with a few significant aspects of it, but I’m sorry, it’s too funny that Slava got all “but my fwamiwy!” after Wormius proposed the exact same thing that he did, albeit him being the one affected instead of some person he doesn’t know.

I really don't think my thought on this is too hard to figure out. These people need to be somewhere, and I support that. I actually support things like rehabilitation, safe injection and those types of programs...somewhere else. I've seen these homeless camps in large US cities and I'm not ashamed to admit they're frightening. It's not an exaggeration to say that it scares me, and makes me entirely uncomfortable.
So, yeah, I do have concerns about having one of these near me and my family. You can take a run at me for that and make your hilarious "my fwamiwy" comments or whatever. It really doesn't change my opinion that "we" shouldn't be accepting and normalizing this.
