This massive and massively incoherent load of SHIT perfectly
illustrates, again, the big myths of homelessness, mostly in its
lumping of all the homeless together as people "just like you and me"
who happen only to be poor.  It's crap.

It is dishonest to talk about "the homeless" as an undifferentiated
class of people.  Most homeless are seriously mentally ill, have major
subtance abuse problems, or both.  VERY FEW homeless people are "just
like you and me."

Santa Cruz is one of those places infected with a naive form of
liberalism that makes a mockery of true compassion.  The answer to the
plight of homeless people is not to try to keep them homeless, as this
idiot seems to think.
