saw this on the evening news..

Homelessness is a national disgrace. I used to commute through skid row of Los Angeles every day on my ride to an office just south of Downtown LA. There were a;ways people on the street and we have never addressed the problem

Now this appears... a home of sorts, designed for those who normally sleep on the streets, as there are many who pprefer to sleep outside rather than in a shelter. There is also the problem of too many homeless and not enough beds.

No one should have to suffer without a roof over their head.

I just looked at the "home". I don't even know what to say except again that it is tragic that it is so needed. I suppose it is a solution of sorts.

What a contrast though to this:

The divide continues.
