That comment was a joke, they were imitating the sarcasm of the original reply to the subway, from the point of view of an anti-homeless organization only looking to “deal” with the homeless, perhaps using your comment as an excuse to do so.
Honestly hard to tell what level of sarcasm we’re on. As in either, “Haha, that’s how they would reply” or jokingly dismissing what I said as stupid/hypocritical with my sentence twisted. People here usually use “/s” to denote that the prior wasn’t serious.
Unfortunately, adding a cringey “/s” takes all the fun out of sarcasm. It’s better not to flag it and let the reader be responsible for detecting the sarcasm, at the cost of occasionally being misunderstood.

the “use our suggestion box” wasn’t so much a hint as a giant sign in flashing neon lights
You’d be surprised how many people talk like that. It’s a common way to make fun of someone.
