ProPublica: What I Learned Reporting in Cities That Take Belongings From Homeless People

[JMCKUSICK]

5. We have turned the poor and homeless into another Them.

It's tragic that this kind of reporting creates enough outrage.....to do nothing. What happened to the rights of people? What happened to love your fellow man/woman? How many of us would vote against low income housing if it was designated to be in our neighborhoods?
There are areas in this country where the waiting list is more than 3 years long. Three years for a chance to get off the street, out of a shelter, a safe bed to lay their head down at night.
Something most of us take for granted.
