[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I pass through Union Station twice a day and walk up Mass. Ave seven blocks for work. I'm out and about around Gallery Place for lunch. While I've seen greater numbers of homeless individuals, these pearl-clutching stories of rampant "out of control" behavior amount to nothing more than hyperbole. They definitely remain the exception instead of the norm.[/quote]

Lying prone on the street is out of control behavior. The fact that you don't recognize that is super sad :([/quote]

By your standard, “out of control” behavior has been occurring for decades.[/quote]

If your child were lying face down in their own filth in a bus stop and refusing shelter, I'm pretty sure you'd think they're out of control. And that's the least of what we see, but by your admission you see it every day and are not concerned enough to call in a wellness check or feel unease over their situation.[/quote]

I feel unease about the situation such people are in; I don't feel unease for myself in proximity to them, however.[/quote]
