Comment: The whole country has a homeless problem not just Eugene. It's caused by a lack of jobs for people with a high school education or less, low wages for the kinds of service jobs they can get, a lack of affordable housing and high rents. The rest stop camps are legal and well managed. They are a good temporary emergency solution until we can fix the causes -- if we ever muster the understanding and political will to do so. Widespread ignorance is holding us back. Try to learn something about the situation.
