Weird to see a picture of the Conservatory of Music in Victoria, BC, Canada in a US sub. Did you grab a random photo off the internet for this meme?
Edit: Not saying Canada is better or worse than the US on homelessness. It just fells bot-farmish to post about something in one country with a picture from a completely different place. Like posting about protests in France and using a picture of a protest in Montreal.

Clearing encampments is only ethical if there is housing to put them in.
However there is also a limit to how many used needles a student should dodge in their way to kindergarten.
