I read nearly all this before it dawned on me that it was Floridiyay, not Rooskie.

The uproar about this tent city has been going on for quite a while. They were given a chance to move to other quarters.

Homelessness in America is a choice. All these folks living in that tent city can merely go to the Salvation Army and get three nights food and lodging for free. After that, they are urged to enter a program and WORK for their keep. They all mostly refuse. Instead they hang out in traffic and panhandle for money and easily gain about one hundred dollars a day, tax free. I submit they are lazy and non-productive and cause a nuisance for those of us who are not.

It's like the same old story....keep feeding the ducks and they will never leave. This time they were told to leave after refusing to do so. I see very little wrong with that.
