Making life easier for the homeless to remain homeless will NOT end homelessness.
Nothing like going hungry to motivate someone to work.
San Francisco Starbucks about 4 years ago...I was in line of about 20 for coffee. Strange short man in front of me, almost midget size. He kept motioning me to get in front of him and finally I did, guarding my purse. He kept collecting food when we got close. He caused a skirmish right when my coffee was ready. He screamed foul words where children were present and scared. He then ran out of the store with probably $20 worth of food. He went across the street and he and his dog had breakfast on starbucks!!!
We avoid the city, which I loved for two decades, completely now. Cannot even ride BART from Fremont to SF without being threatened by yutes, thugs and druggies just daring you to look at them wrong.
