1. I always wonder why advocates for the homeless don't take in a few homeless to stay at their homes

If the supporters did this, we would have zero homeless and it might be a wonderful experience for both parties. I just thought of that. I have a neighbor who once a month goes to the Walgreen's in town and picks up a few. She feeds, gives showers and gives a bed to sleep for a weekend. They love it and they fight over who gets to go. It is a wonderful and selfless thing for her to do. She has NEVER worried about personal safety. Never needed to.
