It is a social issue. People being incapable of taking care of themselves is inevitable. All civilizations had these issues. Families, churches and general generosity of neighbors have always been used to mitigate this.

Now with the wealth gap increasing and the individualistic philosophy in our society with not noticing and tending to these early on. We only notice once the person is a full blown junkie. Many needed help for a a short moment in life and could of become autonomous after, many are both permanently incapable of autonomy. Either way society have to deal with them. We have enough resources! For the price of just one of those opulent pick up we could probably shelter one person for 2-5 years.

What I see church and other institutions do around here (Montreal) is put some temp roof things above it for winter. Here's the typical car version https://www.rona.ca/fr/produit/shelterlogic-abri-autoshelter-a-toit-arrondi-10-x-20-pi-62684-330736923

But they have some for side walks. It might be expensive but it can be reused every years and you never need to shovel snow or ice.

When they are out on the sidewalk isn't it because the are trying to get out of the grass because it's too damp and they'll drown in it?

I moved to the city so I don't have to drive every day. The only way for me to not daydream while driving was to drive fast enough for it to be dangerous.

One of my friend, often a my passenger, admitted he felt safer when I was driving fast and when I was a low speed he would "copilot" for me.

At its core, CS is a competitive shooter. Having casual maps and modes is fun but the game should not cater to this play mode. If valve tries to make it casual friendly they will disappoint the competitive players and will not be able to compete with other casual shooters.

Basically I don't want then to cater too much to the casual scene

That's your experience.

I have worked in very reputable places and none of that tip would reach the cooks. If we were lucky they would pay us a beer at the club later. I think it's regional though. I know in Quebec waiters won't share because the government assume they get 15% tip from everything bill and taxes them accordingly.
