53. Thats a good start if the government wont
When the local authorities are hostile to the homeless, direct action is imperative (if you care, if you dont, or dislike the bums, youre probably having your interest served well locally)

I think its been proven in various localities that the solution is housing.
Housing works better than prayer and ministry, which many outfits force these activities upon
their clients for hours before they will even offer them something to eat.
Local action by decent people is the only bulwark to an indifferent society.
The problem however, is there is TONS of money being funneled into programs that supposedly
are for the homeless. Sometimes that money gets misdirected into the POLICE department, but ususally
just ends up in some poverty pimps pocket. Bullshit programs need to come AFTER housing is provided, otherwise the homeless themselves are a source of income for people who depend on the
homeless population's SIZE.
