Can I infer from your comment that you are yet another person from out of town who came here homeless or nearly homeless?

This is the elephant in the shelter. If we build and fund a massive shelter (or, preferably, many smaller shelters well-dispersed), how many more out-of-town folks will flock to Eugene to take advantage of it. We know we can't continue to be a national homeless destination, or at least many of us know this, but our virtue-signaling friends of homelessness maintain we must take care of all comers or we are heartless. (Meanwhile, I don't see them taking homeless people into their homes like many of us "heartless" people have done.)
