What a ridiculous statement, trapper. What will happen is that homeless people in Sacramento will have to sleep on your doorstep because with the current fiscal crisis, there are fewer and fewer beds for them. It is crucial that we offer a SAFE place for our homeless community to sleep - a place free of drugs, alcohol, and violence...and where they can get access to the help they need to find a more permanent solution. The other night, I heard a woman that is staying at Safe Ground say that she's afraid to have a home, that she feels safer living on the streets than as our neighbour. What does this say about us as a society? We failed these people. We didn't protect them from violence, we didn't support them when they needed us, we didn't ensure they got the care they needed, and we certainly didn't offer them the same compassion and respect that we would demand others give to us. So now, we need to make it as right as we can. Now, we need to offer them SAFE GROUND. Now, we need to remember that we're all part of one big human family and protect our own.
