It's really unfortunate that it has come to this. I've been handing out tents, sleeping bags, clothing, food, and donating money when I could for years. It feels like shoveling sand in front of a tsunami.

If anyone has a workable idea -- that hasn't already been tried -- on how to solve the homeless problem that is fair to the unhoused, local homeowners, business owners, towns, and taxpayers... now is the time to step up.
