Dude, way to add miles to what I said. Of course I know they don't work. So what? As for "slurping up resources from the taxpayer", that seems real compassionate. I suspect most of these folks use a lot less public resources than the average person anyway.
The issue I talked about was whether they were causing problems, not whether they were a population in need of protection and help. The latter is undoubtedly true. The former - I've never felt unsafe around a homeless person. I certainly never worried about my tax dollars being used to help any of them.
As for living under a rock, I take the train into downtown every single work day.
My issue here is that it seems like a lot of the posters' problem is simply the fact they have to look at these people, which seems a tad mean spirited to me.
