Would you want vagrants camping on the sidewalk in front of your home and kids, urinating, defecating, drugging/drinking, probably stealing, creating health risks? That's what I don't want. Do you agree?

I agree. So kill them all - and any in the future who might also have bad times.

Or, you and your community and society could manifest some compassion, create community centers, job centers, and fulfilling alternatives to the corporate 9-5 cubicle career lifestyle, among others. There are no shortage of alternative solutions (besides prisons) but the culture needs to support or at the very least allow those alternatives to exist.

We already have community centers, job centers. Why would you imply there aren't?

It's not society's responsibility to create work; it's the vagrant's responsibility not to be a vagrant. The main reason a business exists is to make a profit.

THere are plenty of "fulfilling alternatives to the corporate 9-5 cubicle career lifestyle"; Why would you write that?

"There are no shortage of alternative solutions" 100% correct: working and not being a drug addict or drunk and not being a public nuicance are the alternatives 99.9999% of us choose. That is, we work and are civilized and responsible and not a disgusting vagrant.
