That will make them their landlord and responsible for their inferior housing-a big fine. They would also have to provide utilities and pay for insurance. Some how, it does not seem to me that this homeless group is too interested in paying for those items.
Some shelters are bad and surely not very safe, others require sobriety or they might have pets they can not bring in.
I have a less than giving heart for some of the homeless, we have SOOOOOOooooo many here-great weather and lots of tourists with extra spending $$. You cant even go to the public library anymore. Every street corner has someone "asking" for money. We had one using our laundry rooms as his restroom....and I do not mean to wash himself! We even had one guy pull his bb gun and shoot a couple of teens leaving the movies when they refused to give him a "donation". I know there are the silent ones that make do living in their cars and picking up what ever work they can. But so many are drunk/high.......my former sister in law is one of them. I read the postings about the homeless that die from drugs/elements/violence looking for her name. She is one that has had so many people helping her, but she picked the street instead, her past has been hard, but until she is ready to accept help and change her life, she will be on the streets.
