It ' s not cronyism when Bernie does it . It ' s pushing forth his Political RevolutionTM . <| sep |> New track ! What do you think i could have done better ? wgiannakosolitary <| sep |> I ' d suggest volunteering for a shelter or a place like St John the Compassionate to get an idea of how people living on the streets ARE engaged , and to help yourself better understand the situations of the individuals . Perhaps we are ignoring the problem to some extent , but I don ' t think that passerbys ignoring people is the problem , and reversing that won ' t solve anything , except getting a bit more change for people asking for money . The city does have programs like streets to homes which do help people , but obviously it ' s not enough if there are still people on the streets . I do think it has a lot to do with our failure to adequately address mental illness and addiction . That can ' t be ignored . Anyway , there are no easy answers . But if you want to make a difference , there are things you can do .
