I personally don't frame it as an "us vs them" situation. If anything, I feel like homeless deserve the same dignity to make choices for themselves and have their choices respected. And we owe them better choices.

My point is even if you entirely self-motivated, it's still something you should support for selfish reasons.

That said, streets and parks are public spaces meant for the enjoyment of all. Public urban camping robs civic value and turns public property into private spaces. Excessive tolerance of it is a failure of policy, not actual policy.
