Just read the headlines "Chronic unemployment worse than great depression" "Detox operating at capacity" Makes me wonder if those who survived the Great Depression living in tents, standing in food lines, the people who's back this country have been built on, were treated in this way.

I'm not happy that it had to come to this. I am proud to see the officers using care in the removal effort. Now that the city is getting cleaned up, there should be more effort expended in solving the homelessness problem.
