If you want the "homeless" to fit back in society, the city should put them to work filling pot holes, painting over graffiti, emptying trash cans downtown etc. then apply their efforts towards a space in the "rest stop". I have to go to work and pay for my home, my use of lane county and the city (which taxes are out of control) so that I am not labeled "homeless". You have to teach people how to work for what they want. Our city unfortunately are enablers and too touchy freely making Eugene a very unpleasant city that only works for the "People's Republic of Eugene".
