...and over the last 10 years (since The Great Republican Recession of 2008) it is like nothing I've ever seen in the almost 42 years I've been living/working/existing here.

The hepatitis thing is real, it's a public health crisis.

It's spread by contact with feces, even in miniscule amounts one is unaware of - like from contact from a hand on a dirty-fecally tainted-restroom-door knob.

I had to clean up a pile of human feces from my driveway a few months ago.

An above average number of homeless seem to be mentally ill/drug-alcohol addicted/or both.

My girlfriend was assaulted by a homeless guy when he spit directly into her face/eyes as he walked by us, we still have no idea what the ultimate health ramifications of that may be.

This country is a shithole, Trump.

That said, leave it to the fascists to deny food to people, whoever they are.

Being arrested for giving free food to people is unconstitutional, in a sane world.
