Homelessness is a real issue. I see it every night that I go to work. Even though there are shelters and such, the amount of street people is incredible.

Indeed, I have seen it increasing a lot lately. Now there are at least a half dozen men camping in the park near me every night.

Last year, there was only one, maybe two. Before that, none. So it’s getting worse.

At one time we had vagrancy laws. If you weren’t gainfully employed or had legitimate business to conduct or were invited to stay with a friend or relative in a jurisdiction, you were run out of town. This was well before liberalism trumped common sense.

That is because most of these unfortunate people are incapable of making decisions in their own best interest. Not putting them inside facilities where they could be cared for is the cruelest policy of all, IMO.

But I am surprised that anyone was able to find any homeless during Obamugabe’s reign, as they usually disappear during a DemocRat administration, only to reappear when a Republican in in the WH.
