Is McDonald's toilets on Rossville Blvd as nasty?

Is McDonald's toilets on Rossville Blvd as nasty?

Would a couple of thousand dollars more be enough to keep the sleeping area open year round? Or would ten thousand dollars help keep the sleeping area open year round? How much more does it take? One million dollars?

The building takes up the city block, they have room for the homeless to sleep inside, they ask for donations for the homeless people, so what is the idea,?

Not give homeless people shelter, that way people feels empathy and donates to the board of directors and the homeless lay outside in the rain all night?

If one listens to experts, it only never gets one homeless person out of the rain for ten thousand dollars spent talking about it.

There's the mayor, there's the judges, there's the governors, stand back and give them room and a billion dollars and they can build a homeless campground duhhhhhhhhhhhh.

About half the homeless are like party animals out being loud and listening to music at any time day or night, and the other half are sober trying to sleep through it. Some are too mental to know they are going to get everyone run off from their sleeping spot, and the rest are waiting powerlessly because the noisy ones gets the quiet ones in trouble,, who are in happy hour
and are not tired like the quieter ones.
A lot of the drugs from the Homeless Health Care end up as dope on the street.
Most of them need to be in a organized homeless camp with a curfew.
As much as the churches do, they still cannot do the job the government needs to fix.

The immediate problem for the homeless is a parking lot or a space of land to sleep out on, at least. Then they could go around getting food at all these places pretending like they are really concerned. The homeless, if at fault, are still destitute and cannot really access water and toilets at night outside, but the mayor and politicians are not depriving themselves equally and do not share in the hardships of the poor homeless.

Its a block long. Plus the missions. Plus the homeless coalition. But they cannot let the homeless sleep inside all year? How much more does it take? The homeless need help but the help has to get to the homeless which is almost to say, the helpless who need services of basic types. They are out in the rain on the sidewalk, in the grass, like animals outside without shelter, hiking all day without real nutrition, in the weather, with no storage closet for a blanket .

It is a pitiful , leaderless society in general, that rationales that people should get to work when they not really employable as before being homeless.

I point out that the food is for the homeless not the employees and get kicked out for being true. Not a good place for honest people. If you want to give food to the homeless, it is a good idea to give it direct to the homeless on the street outside, so you see the homeless eat. I was doing these bad reviews and they kicked me out, so see how it is yourself. If a group really wanted to, they could get a year round open building for the homeless.
I am not a drunkard or any problem, I just point out the leftovers should be served to the homeless. Is that the point of asking for donations for the sake of the homeless? Oh, by the way I am a grad school student and member of two honor societies and have went through college on the street. But I cannot get food or shelter from the soup kitchen.

It is my experience that the personnel want to keep the homeless peoples food for themselves and ban homeless people to deprive the homeless of food to punish the homeless and grant the homeless to be hungry and in the weather. Like the government, sometimes does the opposite of what it is claiming, like giving the impression to speak for the homeless. But in the articles you read in the Times, it is the homeless providers using the public's stigma of the homeless to ask for donations, like saying look at the poor homeless the soup kitchen feeds, send more donations and still the homeless are still homeless, and hungry.
