I am thankful that those working to house the homeless are doing their jobs. The homeless are not "bums". They are people who have had bad circumstances to deal with. It could happen to any one of us. We should be doing everything we can to house everyone. Many of the homeless are working, but not making enough to afford rent. Others are mentally ill and not able to get treatment. Others need treatment for drug addiction. There are not enough treatment facilities, but even with treatment people can't recover without housing. This calls for compassion - not blame. What would your house look like if there were no trash pick up, no trash bags, no bathrooms.
