Assuming that I am debating those against homeless encampments?

*Why*? People are homeless for a reason, which is almost always due to inaccessibility or poor living conditions of some kind. By not allowing people to live safely, all we do is endanger the people. Homelessness can happen to anyone. Do *you* want to be in a situation where you have nowhere at all to sleep? It's almost unfathomable for most people, like missing limb syndrome.

Man is only as free as their societies least free member.

Even if you truly feel no empathy and cannot comprehend yourself within the same situation, it actually directly harms the people. If people are struggling every day to survive the elements, they're not gonna be able to find a **** ing job, meaning they cannot contribute to the economy, meaning far less growth will be able to occur in your area, along with a decrease in labour force, so it still indirectly harms you.
