Re: Homeless Thread

The jails are over 200% capacity so I'm not sure why people think arresting them would work.

Wrap around services is the only thing that has shown to work long term. You can't just build little houses. People need rehab, job training, support, etc.

I can not tell you the absolutely strange/surreal feeling it is to visit a place, fall in love with it, and then see it absolutely leveled 3 days later.

What is being said about Asheville on twitter is disgusting. Asheville is a very pro-gay town. I was just at my cousins wedding last weekend in Asheville where she married her partner. Half our family refused to attend.
