The entire weekend there's been this homeless guy sleeping pretty much right by the door to my apartment complex. Morning, noon, and night, in temperatures reaching the high 90's, he's been there, sleeping, with what little stuff he has strewn all about him. It's like he just discovered this part of the street as his own and just decided that's where he was going to sleep. He could have gotten up and walked around, maybe bought some smack or begged for some change, but everytime I walked by, he was there, fast asleep. All this in a heavily trafficked area on a heavily trafficked street. Not to mention half a block away from a police station.

Not to get into the politics of homelessness, but am I the only one who thinks there's something wrong about this? Not in the "homelessness is a serious issue and it says a lot about our country that there's people living on the streets kind of way" but more in the "this guy's been sleeping on the street for three days and nobody seems to notice?" kind of way. I felt like just standing over him, right in the middle of all the street traffic and yelling: "hey, there's a guy sleeping on this street and he's been here for days." Well, not that I would have, but hopefully you get my point.
