2. What a worthless piece of shit he is.

He's got company. They're converting an old hospital about half a mile from me into housing for the homeless. I'm all for it, there's nothing like having a secure room with a lock on the door to restore enough dignity that hopeless people start to see a way out. There seem to be a few NIMBY types around here. I don't get it.

Of course, they're doing it here instead of in derelict motels in the better parts of town, but oh well.

I just want to get human beings into reliable shelter. If it increases the foot traffic and littering, o bla di. It shouldn't last all that long, people who finally get a little stability tend to develop a little more pride.
