I would take the shelter because, it would be better than sleeping outside in the cold and ending your life earlier than what it should be. I think it would be a better option than sleeping outside

I think it's important for homeless to be put in a shelter for multiple reason. It's important that of course those shelters are safe for the homeless but it's also important that while we as citizens are walking down clean, and safe streets that we pay tax dollars towards.

affordable education and housing the key to gaining money is education and its not fair that all dont have the same opportunity unlike the elite

If given the opportunity, many would jump at the opportunity of shelter. I believe there should be more funding allocated to the homelessness issue we face. Still, I am not ignorant of the fact that more shelters are not a cure to the problem but instead acknowledge the effort as a step in the right direction.

It doesn't matter what trust issues a homeless person has, they should always take something better.

Under cardboard or underpass would still be considered public property would it not? I'm inclined to say that telling them "shelter or jail" seems like an infringement on civil liberties although I also see how occupying a public space could be interpreted as blocking access to it. I would say that if they're not in the way and not bothering anyone, I'd allow it.
