Maybe your mom heard this story? It made national news.

Here’s the thing: chronic street homelessness is up in nyc and other communities across the country. Dramatically. That’s a fact backed up by point in time counts and reports from the frontlines.

Everyone poops. Even people without homes.

And, contrary to popular belief, you can’t just use the restroom at Starbucks.

I’m baffled by the response that this human suffering is written off as red state conservatives making it “a bigger deal than it is.” As a liberal whose day job has been law and policy strategies to address homelessness, I can assure this is a big deal. The entrenched and growing homelessness despite tremendous infusion of funding and innovative housing and services should terrify everyone.

Google the stats on how many people are one paycheck or one medical crisis or one divorce or sudden death of a spouse away from homelessness. You might be shocked. Or maybe you just don’t care because you’ve grown accustomed to blocking out the human suffering surrounding you in your city. [/quote]
