The issue is that tax payers are already paying for it. It cost money for cops to go out and arrest people, then process them. The homeless person ain’t going to show up to court later, and the tax payer usually eats the cost of all that plus any anti homeless benches or windows.
I think if that the cost gets directed toward housing and food, so they have a stable place to grow from, it would be a better option in the long run.
Step 1) defund police to provide free house and food to socially unfit people
Step 2) socially unfit people trash the place because that’s what junkies do.
Step 3) omg what is the police doing
Step 4) it’s defunded.
Step 5) who could have seen it coming?
Step 1) make up a situation to be mad at.
Step 2) get mad at it.
Step 3) ???
Step 4) allow police to hunt homeless people for sport.
Now, to be serious, step 2 in your example is a lie fed to you by the police state in order to manufacture fear of homeless people and justify its own existence. Therefore the rest of your post is bullshit as well. And when your neighbor has a mental health crisis, you should call social services and doctors, not the police. The fact that your first instinct is to punish and incarcerate mentally unwell people instead of helping them to get better says a lot about your current mindset actually.

Lmao dude you clearly don’t know what you’re talking about
Stop daydreaming about your perfect world where everyone is happy fun land all the time nice and fun and butterflies.
There’s a social program in my city where you agree to host homeless people for some time and the city pays half the rent + they waive some property taxes
I didn’t do it because I’m not an idiot, every single one of my friends stopped doing it after their first time.
You only get half the rent because whoever you’re hosting doesn’t actually have to pay the other half, and the other benefits you get don’t get remotely close to covering rehabilitation of the apt when the contract runs out you’re finally able to rent to normal folks.
One of my buddies had shit on the ceiling. Like actual human feces, smears all over the ceiling.
Currently, my taxes go into destroying homeless encampments and arresting them, so we could probably use that money for housing and feeding them instead.
The best they , do you know how worthwhile to save someone from mental illness ? I mean cashdollarbills, even if you don’t care about humans. Just the increase in property values from not having to look at their beat down mugs.
How is a mayor responsible for junkies and mentally unstable people unfit for society?
What do you want them to do?
Feed and house them, can you not read?
How many homeless people do you let crash on your couch and eat out of your fridge?
Or is it only ok if someone else pays for it?

You’ll pay cops regardless.
Not if they get defunded
Step 1) defund police to provide free house and food to socially unfit people
Step 2) socially unfit people trash the place because that’s what junkies do.
Step 3) omg what is the police doing
Step 4) it’s defunded.
Step 5) who could have seen it coming?
And your solution is, let me guess:
Step 1) make up a situation to be mad at.
Step 2) get mad at it.
Step 3) ???
Step 4) allow police to hunt homeless people for sport.

i doubt you’d need as many
You will, because you’ll need to evict the junkies out of the place they’re trashing.

Be the change you want to see happen
