"The law, in its majestic equality, forbids the rich as well as the poor to sleep under the bridge, to beg in the streets, and to steal bread."
- dangrover 13y agoThe sleeping outside (and the actual homelessness) is a separate and unfortunate problem that needs to be solved. Fixing the broken shelter system would be a start. Many of the people exhibiting the behavior I described may, in fact, have homes! Aside from that, if we're supposed to condone people in our public places making them unsafe and unsanitary, what's the point of having them/paying for them at all?
