As much as this pains me to say, I agree with T&T. This is an extremely complex issue with no clear cut answers. Some of those people are down on their luck, some have substance problems, some simply can't function in society. I've seen two people go down that spiral and it is painful to view.

OK...it was just a attempt to bring dialogue, but it appears that isn't possible.
You could have shared what transpired with the ones you referenced, what was tried, what might have helped, etc...
I use to go down once a month, to Seattle, me and some buddies, taking food, clothing, etc, listening to them, sharing, offering hope, and help, if they wanted it.....
Most admitted they had issues with booze, and bad choices.
I shared some of the stories before, here.
That was about 10 years ago, before the drugs made it very unsafe to venture into these areas at night....
It was before they were just everywhere, you had to go back into some dark areas, away from the lights, etc, to find them.
Never mind.....
You guys carry on, it seems to fill a need, in you all.
