9:53 PM yesterday Phoebe in Wallingford commented on Council President Sally Clark Likely Won't Support Homeless Encampment Bill.
Okay, I admit my comment in @1 was callous. But I don't understand the sentiment of not wanting to integrate the homelessness into society (save the chronic alcoholics and mentally ill for special facilities) so that they can hope for a better life. That is the essence of humanitarianism, not the condescending warehousing advocated by @13.

@8: Indeed. I used to be 'Phoebe on NE 79th' on The Stranger. When I moved to Wallingford to be closer to my daughter, I couldn't resist the moniker. God bless Ruth Warrick!

@6: Please, there are outreach programs to help the homeless find work and find homes. If you institutionalize homelessness as a viable option with permanent encampments, I regret to say that a sizable percentage will have no motivation and will increase its capacity to the maximum. Then what, more and more encampments?
Treat the mentally ill and help people to get to a better place so that they fee empowered with pride and not a become permanent ward of the State.
Just look at San Francisco, and you'll know what I'm talking about.

Online dating is so risky and dangerous. Better to have friends you trust introduce you to suitors.
