Housing Crisis
Based on currently available numbers, there are about 31 vacant housing units for every homeless person in the U.S.
As true and screwed up as that is, the homeless dude in the embedded preview has a dog. You ever try to get an apartment, with a dog, a big one at that?
Not saying the dog doesn’t also deserve a forever home, but it really is complicated for a scraggly homeless fella with a big dog to be taken seriously almost anywhere.
Everyone deserves some sort of decent shelter. Let me ask you folks, what would you do if a scraggly homeless person knocked on your door, and all he asked was for a sandwich, a bottle of water, a bath, and perhaps a beard trim?
I’ve actually skipped work just to help a homeless guy get his beard trimmed. Bought him pizza too. Kinda hard to get anywhere in life when you look like shit.
Be kind to the homeless, they just need a helping hand here and there.
