Message: [QUOTE="DoctorBombay, post: 3739107, member: 626"] I had a family member go through this and in fact, here in Charlotte we now have an area downtown known as "Tent City", where the majority of homeless have converged. During the recent cold wave, they had to be FORCIBLY moved and placed indoors for their own safety, and most had to be designated as a danger to themselves in order to do so. It is far too simplistic to "blame" SU for this unfortunate situation when the most prominent issue in homelessness is by far, mental illness. Plenty of people become homeless, but the vast majority who STAY homeless are due to drugs and/or mental illnesses. Hunting down a person who doesn't wanna be found is not easy. Its much more complex then simply laying blame at a school, an organization, local govt., the individual themselves, or anyone. [/QUOTE]
