    Housed people buy drugs and alcohol. Unhoused people buy drugs and alcohol.

    Why is it so much more evil for the latter?

      Some nuance - nobody is freely giving housed folks money to buy drugs and alcohol either.

          That’s cool! I’m willing to bet that’s outside of the norm for most folks. If y’all want to prove me wrong I’ll happily provide a venmo ;)

          I didn’t say that doing drugs is pointless. Assisting homeless people buying drugs IS, because it does the opposite of helping to get out of that situation, which is the point.
