      I would say that this particular millionaire did his part to help out. If every millionaire/billionaire spent the same percentage of their wealth on similar projects we would be in pretty good shape as far as homelessness goes.

        Don’t say this here. The people here don’t like charity from rich folk. While I agree it is worthwhile to point out that taxation and good governance is better than rich people charity. these folk are a bit too angry for their own good.

        99 would take in every homeless person in a wide berth around here. WIDE. And I’m next door to the second poorest county in Florida.

          one thing most people don’t realize is: most homeless people don’t look homeless… they actually go out of their way to not look that way.
          the people that look homeless to you are just the most extremely disabled homeless…
