    Anyone who has ever been to a homeless shelter knows that it’s incredibly dangerous. Even as a big tough-looking guy. There’s little to no security or oversight, people actively ODing feet from you, and vultures trying to steal the literal clothes off your back the minute you close your eyes. We need a total overhaul of the homeless system. As it stands, a tent is far safer and more appealing than a shelter.

      The amount of sexual assault in shelters is horrifying. And people, even people who aren’t conservatives excuse the clearances of tent cities by saying that there are shelters.
