I get the gist of the question. Of course they do. As they do in most cities. No "safe spaces" on the streets.

If you read where I live then there's no point in you saying that I don't know about living in Boston as I outright said I live in the suburbs. That's the entire point of the thread.

In any case, I lived in Dublin for over a year and that city has quite a larger population than Boston.

Hostile? You got defensive with my "oh the horror..." remark and my observations about how many people in this town react to street people seeking change.

I never accused you of anything, but I certainly admit to mocking the premise of your question - because I think it's ridiculous. No hostility. Anything else?

Calling a question ridiculous and mocking it is hostile. If you take such an issue with the question then don't bother posting.

Your comment accused me of looking down with disgust at people and treating them like pariahs.
You seem to be angling for an argument, and I am just not interested.

I made a comment. There's nothing in that comment about how you react to homeless people on the streets of Boston. The notion that someone would refrain from living in a city solely because homeless persons might "approach" them and ask for change is ridiculous to me. That's my opinion.

This is a discussion board. If you only want replies that you like or agree with, don't post.

I got the gist of your comment.

I never said that I would refrain from living anywhere because of homeless people. It always amuses me how some people have nothing better to do than to try to start arguments online.

It's certainly important enough to your decision that you would post the question. I'm commenting, but it does takes two to have an argument.

Funny, I never said you were trying to have an argument.

You forgot about post 14 so quickly, huh? And you seem pretty interested for someone who is not. Lmao

That's not an accusation, it's just an observation of what I perceived you to be doing.
