I find it odd that there are complaints about homeless people (among whom veterans and working taxpayers can be counted) being present at the public library. In this we see the complaint isn't really about homelessness (which is a problem I can't see too many people being engrossed in solving) but about having to see uncared for or displaced people in public. So...if you didn't "qualify" for a home for any number of reasons with no political will to eliminate the conditions of the problem withstanding..where exactly would you go, beautiful!? Assuming you did not have a vehicle and you weren't inclined to remain in that cramped, confined space to spare others the knowledge of your existence what would you do during your free hours? And during inclement weather? To stay out of sight is quite hypocritical yet fitting of an ask coming from the loathsome but historically recurrent "Me! Me! Me!" Generation. I think culture and upbringing are the problems here and possibly one else thing more pervasive. In any case, I don't think we'll see substantial changes in homelessness until we see changes in how the homeful population approach issues of family and community relationships. All these people had to be someone else's responsibility at some point in their lives, right? None of us are made to be flawless or infallible but it would seem more than just the homeless people either don't care, didn't try or just gave up out of lack of ingenuity and weakness of character. Sucks to be human, don't it?
