I have a similar issue here in Nashville except the city and Catholic Church and other liberal churches enable it
we have a hobo camp bordering commercial property with a Lowe’s and wall mart etc that numbers over 1000 in warm weather
These are not folks who can’t pay mortgage or rent
They are alcohol and drug addicts and psychological issues from mild to extreme
The lucid ones readily admit they do it voluntarily
Camp
Get high
Beg or steal
Beats working
It’s insane we tolerate this
They even have sectors
The good folk live up high where it takes effort to walk up the hill
The rough crowd is in the flats where it’s easier
A funeral home adjoins this area. They had to fence off the back as did Lowe’s
Four deaths back there last year
Murders and ODs
Most have family that sends them money...
The funeral home gets the unclaimed or the others with family because it’s right there....cheaper......some go to potters field or are cremated
It’s a den of meth more than anything besides booze
......some go to potters field or are cremated...
Run the bodies through a big meat grinder. Lots of hungry dogs out there.
I went to college in Nashville. Lipscomb. Early 1970s. I can’t even imagine what you’re saying.
