There's also a major difference between a dad having a beer while he supervises his kid at the park and a vagrant living there and getting wasted. As someone who's done security at homeless shelters I can't agree with you enough about separating the ones who are down on their luck from the junkies. The latter make the shelters a living hell for the former, and frankly we should be investing in the former since it usually only takes them a few months to get back on their feet as it is. If I were ever in that position I'd live in my car or die in the street before I never subjected myself to the nightmare that junkies have turned the shelters into.

This is a damn shame, cause I'd love to have the local Dad's down to park with their kids and have a few beers (the Dad's, not the kids, damn moochers) but that provides cover for the shitbirds to get White Girl wasted and trash the place.

That's basically what every homeless person I ever talked to told me.
