Boston city workers began to clear tents Monday morning near the troubled intersection of Melnea Cass Boulevard and Massachusetts Avenue as part of an effort to enforce a new encampment ban across the city.

What's he getting from these statements that make you assert he's selfish? They aren't saying, "Give it all to me." They're saying that if you make life sustainable while succumbing to vice, people will take them up on it.

The poor will always resent the homeless. They have shit homes that they've sacrificed for, and they are disproportionately the victims of theft from homeless due to proximity. Then they see the people they've watched, being as a kite for 5 years, get newly built housing for free and non-stop handouts.

Obviously, they should all be on the same side, but thats just not how human emotions work.

What an asinine thing to say, like somehow you have personal knowledge of being poor and unhoused.

It's about as asinine as you implying someone doesn't without intimate knowledge of their life....

If you've never been poor or unhoused, you don't have any knowledge about it at all.
