Salt Lake City has cut its chronic homelessness rate dramatically during the last
10 years by giving homeless people nice, permanent places to live with lots of
counseling on-site. Its experience offers valuable lessons.

Sorry ajuiO, but your us vs. them mentality is grating on me.

That's fantastic.. But there are two types of homless people. The are those who are simply victims of circumstance and who are trying to make their lives better.. And then there are bums.. Who just want to be lazy, spend their lives drunk, stoned, and would rather beg then even try to do somthing for themselves... I make it quite clear witch of the two Im talking about. Most of the drunks on 200 south and around the gateway area fit my second description.. I'm rarly botherd by people in the area who are not drunk or stoned.. Because those people are ushualy spending their time working with the city or private organizations to help themselves.
