"I shouldn’t have to see the pain, struggle, and despair of homeless people to and from my way to work every day."
That sentence is 100% correct - we shouldn't have to see that around us.
The tragic thing about the blog post that was so reviled, is that it should have been a call to action for the community.
The thousands of homeless people in major urban centers and the lack of progress in doing anything about it is an indictment of our society.
And what has been the response of local government in the Bay Area?
Nearly every city on the peninsula has passed laws against sleeping in your car, making the homeless even more miserable.
The reality is that we haven't even started to address the problem, and most people are just fine with that - as long as the homeless are not in their neighborhood.
