She's just worried that her self-created, so-called job -- where she skims whatever she wants from cash donations -- is now going to be in jeopardy, if they harass the homeless into leaving.

There are ignored studies showing that people almost become permanently homeless after 3-4 years on the streets. After 5-6 years, they will be chronically homeless. Even if you pay for their housing, they won't respect it, and will return to the street at the first sign of difficulty.

Like homelessness eventually rewires their brains.

Like people that get free housing. The place is trashed in no time.

Like homelessness eventually rewires their brains.

I believe that. I also believe that enough time being working-poor also rewires brains in a very bad way.

I visited Seattle in '92. Compared to what I was used to in my community, the homeless problem was disturbing to me. Fast-forward 31 years and my community is well on it's way to resembling what I saw in Seattle then!

I remember when homelessness was mostly the province of druggies, drunks, and crazies. It is my observation that is much less true today. I believe that a fair amount of the current homeless are simply very unlucky.

Out of ten friends I had while growing up, five of them have experienced being homeless.

You need a better class of friends, just saying.

1/10 of them ever did me dirty. So I disagree.
No one in my crew ever did that, no homeless either. We all worked hard and earned. I know of some bums in the neighborhood but they were usually drunks. Friends later in life were sometimes sketchy.
