I don't think it's a San Francisco problem either. I don't see it going away. I have given up on debating it. I would like to see certain cities/counties in the United States open up areas where people can camp legally. If there's crime problems, law enforcement will help; not harass though. I know there's a lot of people who will fight it. I'm tired of hearing, "If you build it, they will come." I'm just asking for a few acres that people can put up a tent, and have access to a few out houses. Maybe a hand washing station? Maybe a few shower heads? I know, enough with the maybes. This is where it gets crazy. I sometimes think they put too many maybes in the debate, so people will just throw up their hands, and do nothing. For all practical purposes, it's illegial to live without money. We all can't be expected to move to Alaska, and live off the land. Those days are gone. I have know people who literally got ticked for sleeping in their vechicles. They were between rentals. I have known two men who died of pneumonia while living on their boats. No--it can't proven. I just knew the guys, and they died too early. They lived on their boats because they were not economically viable anymore. They didn't have understanding families. They didn't have connections. This is not the America, I was so proud, of growing up. (I won't be back to debate. These are not just my wishes. I have a friend who's been homeless for years. The police have harassed him to--someone I don't completely know anymore. He just wants a place to put a tent, and access to a toilet.)
