Cameras are great determents; towns are installing 'em at busy
intersections. It breaks my heart that there are plazas and offices standing empty and yet so many homeless live in the streets, under bridges, behind buildings. Sorry about the fire at Ross's place of business, Dotsie.

I suppose this is naive of me in many ways BUT in this 'world' we live in where we have so much that is wasted, its hard to believe anyone need go hungry or have to lives on the street. For instance you should see what these casinos and restaurants throw away. Its shameful!

id agree chattie it is a bit mental on a national level the amount of wast of probertie, redevelopment thats unecassary and food wasted, makes no sence when others could be doing with whats being wasted.

In one street homless project we worked in we got end of day fresh sandwhiches for the homless lol deep fried brie and fruitie sauces etc lol well it saved it going in the bin as thse shops remade food dailie and they got to feel good about what would be going to rubbish dumps in normale situasions.

If thy be some local redistribusion places for food and furniture that be a prettie cool opperasion i would think

its bound not to feel nice when haulin homless peoples stuff off to the dump, sometimes its becouse place is a mess sometimes for health and saftie reasons and sometimes they do it as thirs no weer els kinda safe for them to hide stuff.

if it be nicked in a day but wase't for a week at lest they had benifit of that week with their whatever it is they stored thir. Just a diffrent perspective. I don't know if that shift helps it feel any nicer.

If rosses offices are sheltered and safe they keep turning up for the saftie and shelter so it might take something like getting a camera system for them to not be going thir. I sure thy don't mean to be pest at times thir just looking for a place to sleep.

Is thir no homless projects in the towen or dose drink or drugs violate tenancy agreements hence homlessness becomming cyclical?

Are your towens hostels to unsafe to sleep in?

why is thir no place for them to go?

He's done fences and they knocked them down. No lie. It's such a problem. We're hoping the camera will work. Whenever he ssees someone back there, he'll call the police or talk to the one that walks the neighborhood.

celtic, there are shelters for the homeless, but some choose not to go. They may go to some that offer food, but they don't stay there overnight. And if they did, there wouldn't be enough room for all of them.

I know some people see the shelters as being more dangersie than on the streets, so they don't stay overnight. taking view that loads of people together and some more vulriable than others then a shelter can be dangerise for an overnight.

Not enough room at shelters a miserie to think about, for whatever reason. Not being sutiable for some another reason and id champion specalist shelters for certine people.

hope thirs no more trouble or fires for you or ross datsie.

My brother works for the NFL, you should hear the amount of
food they discard. But food pantries will not allow them to
donate leftovers, because of some idiot law someone came up with. Good food, thrown away and people are starvin'? Geese.
Lawmakers ought to have their heads examined!

Oh, I sooooo understand you, Jabber. There's a popular cafe at the corner of the street where I work which, after it shuts at 5:30, would give all their food to the homeless shelters. It was a practice of this very popular chain of cafes. However, sometime last year, they started to leave them by the bins. Boxes and boxes of sandwiches and fruits! I called in on the manager as it carried on for a few days. I was told they were restricted by some health legislation passed by the City together with advertising standards. It has since been resolved and the cafe manager was able to find a loophole and work around the foolish legislation.

Lola,
I'm glad they resolved the situation where you reside. Here, I find it very offensive to throw food out, while area food pantries and the City Mission are struggling to feed needy families.
