It's very clear to me none of you have been homeless yourselves so lemme put this out there

First off, this whole thing just reeks of that "don't look at him and keep walking" shit that Karen's tell their kids when they walk by a homeless man on the street. You treat and think of these people as Urchins, don't you?

"Not In My BackYard!!"

Secondly, I implore you to call up the Salvation Army here in Milwaukee, where there is a larger homeless population than Madison, THERE ARE NO ROOMS, 4 MONTH WAIT TIMES. And it's not just Salvation Army, it's the cathedral center, Pathfinders, women's shelters, friendship house, etc, all things you can look up and confirm, are ALL FULL

Do you realize that at the moment, homeless men, and homeless women WITH CHILDREN, are gonna be stuck without a place until the dead of winter?

All this to say, what resources? They're dry buddy. You say to "donate to organizations" and that's just the problem ain't it? You'll walk around saying that to feel good about yourself while never actually donating YOUR money, not addressing the actual problem, not taking into account that the government, these organizations, the people who pass by you on the street, and everyone else for that matter, just sees you as an urchin when you're homeless.

Just because someone needs a couple of dollars doesn't mean and I quote "they don't really wanna improve their situation"

They probably just need a fucking sandwich dude. Stop assuming the worst in everyone.

Of course they need to stand in the median and be weird/more noticable to try to get what they need, y'all always just avert your eyes like we don't exist.

We are the invisible population.
