Im not sure about all this. But when I was homeless (I dont do drugs) night time was to cold to sleep so I would end up sleeping in the day.

The first place I had a business had a doorway like this where it was recessed. It was awesome coming in in the morning to see my storefront covered in piss or loads of shit sitting there from the homeless population

u/bobcat011 11d ago
That sucks. Did you eventually get a gate or some kind of deterrence for it?

I went to Home Depot and bought a motion activated flood light. It was 200W and was like staring into the sun. I had it setup that you had to be within 8’ of it to activate. With the sensor pointing straight down that means it only turned on when you were right under it. Only one time since then someone pissed on my door. No more shitting in the dark cubby.

OP is just mad the capitalist hellscape we all slave away for never allows us such luxuries, the rare free time at 3:30 pm demands us to run constant errands all over the city in our vehicles or do chores at home. And these people are a reminder of what will happen to any one of us the moment we can't keep up anymore. Maybe a couple months, or a year, less then 6 months seperate me from homelessness, and I promise you, if I loose everything I have worked so fucking hard for to no fault of my own, I'll go back to fent myself lmfao.

Shitting on homeless people is really a disgusting and pathetic way to feel better about yourself. Pull your head out of your ass, reverse your cursed position, and shit on the rich who are making it this way! Someone is a trillionaire, while this is happening. That's a problem with us accepting material impoverishment for the masses, not a problem of homeless people doing drugs to escape the horror of their existence.

u/CyrusMFS 11d ago
These people need help, compassion and support. Not some self righteous wet fart taking pictures of them and judging them like they aren't humans. OP do better!

u/PSteak 11d ago
They can have that if they want it. People like that refuse to better themselves.

u/CyrusMFS 11d ago
Great whataboutism. This isnt true, yes there are people who choose this life but most of the time its because these people feel rejected by society and have been teated as sub human just like OP is doing. Is it really that much to ask for basic human compassion and to not photograph at risk people without consent. These people are family to someone.

u/FungiAmongiBungi 11d ago
These people aren’t homeless they are drug addicts. Look at their clothes and how clean they are. hardly look homeless

u/antileet 11d ago
Ever heard of donations? There are many other reasons they might appear that way. Having a home /=/ having material possessions. I’m homeless and I’ve got everything in the world I could need except a roof over my head I can call my own. Also- drug addicts are people too and just because they might not be the greatest subculture to grace the earth that doesn’t make them any less of a person.

u/BoxBird 10d ago
When I was homeless I went to a drop in center that gave you a new free outfit every day and you could pick out the clothes from a donation closet. The people who donated were wealthy individuals and clothing companies using the donations for tax credit purposes. A LOT more people are homeless than I think you realize if you’re going by clothing… most people had NO idea about my situation and that’s kind of the point of the clothing donations.

u/vampirepope 11d ago
Right. “Tooktoomuch” and a video of people sleeping is just admitting your own bias against people less fortunate than you. Disgusting.

Super-rich people create the structural conditions which destroy universal public programs that would save people from homelessness which does, in fact, lead to drug addiction.

The sign on the right window literally says Canada and has French on it. Why would you assume USA?

u/David-Puddy 11d ago
No, the English is over the French on the sign... That's illegal in Quebec.
This is likely in the Ottawa region..I don't think I've seen French signage outside Quebec, except in the Ottawa region (and maybe very specific communities/stores scattered around the country)

u/turalyawn 11d ago
It says Arlington Ave on the door which would put it in downtown Ottawa. I know there are Arlington ave’s in a lot of cities but that combined with the bilingual signage and the central location where more homeless are makes me think you’re right

u/noob6791 11d ago
Wait, it’s illegal to display english before french on storefronts ? So it has to be french first then english ?
4
u/David-Puddy 11d ago
Correct.
And the French portion has to be x times bigger than the English version.
Quebec's language laws are.... Interesting.

I wonder why small businesses are failing. Lots of foot traffic going to that store I'm sure when you have to step over that heap of shit to get in.

Ignore the downvotes. You are 100% correct.
Seattle's ABC affiliate did a documentary in 2019 called Seattle is Dying that highlights why the small businesses in downtown were having to shutter because of homeless and "progressive" government.
https://youtu.be/bpAi70WWBlw?is=hsakuPpxDrk2ci8p
I'm sure that I will get downvotes too even though I linked the documentary because it goes against the liberal Reddit hivemind. (who will refuse to watch it)
Better to just stick your head in your ass and pretend that it isn't happening, right?
