I am at a loss where to start. Does he mean gangs of homeless are creating havoc in national parks? Like marauding Bears? Or is their smell Making it hard for the sun to cut through to the ground? Which environment is he talking about? The pavements of the bigger cities? Is this Americas new "Environment? Maybe these homeless people should go home and take a shower? Please reassure me that Americans arent as stupid as this??

@TheOneyouwerewarnedabout So many ways to aim that one back. Bears $h*t in the woods.. Thats their environment. I get that a lot of Homeless people in a city is a problem.. Just like BEING homeless is a problem. But since when is it "environmental"? Or is Trump looking at his investment properties as the "environment" now.?

@whowasthatmaskedman living like that isn't a good environment.
I don't know how you were raised but it's not healthy.

@strongbow Fair point. Cities generate trash, waste and pollution. But somehow they have evolved systems to move it. Maybe its the system that should be adapting to move the waste the homeless generate.

@Virgo79 But is this an "environmental" issue? A social issue, sure.. A Welfare issue, Yes.. A Town Planning, or sanitation issue.. Yes..A health issue? Absolutely..

@whowasthatmaskedman well if it's not then the EPA should keep their noses out of septic systems.

You've heard, perhaps, of the term "urban environment"?

I must admit, however, that even M.I.T. seems not to have thought of what liberal mismanagement has wrought in San Francisco and Los Angeles.
