Last pic) That is just downright shameful that they put down spikes like that so that the homeless cannot sleep under the bridge.
We are all humans!

For the last few years, I have been fixated on the homeless. We have to do better.
I believe it all started in earnest when I lived in Vista-40 minutes- North of San Diego-and would hear all the stories about the homeless.
There were showers set up at specific locations. A few churches would allow individuals to utilize their parking lots during the week to park overnight. And in certain areas, there are local streets lined with campers and cars where some folks have jobs but can't afford the rent of an apartment. Why are we as a country nibbling around the edges and not tackling this pandemic head-on. And no, not all people on the streets are mentally ill and or on drugs. What tugs at me the hardest are the young people I see in Denver on the streets asking for handouts. How in the hell are these young people going to "pull themselves up by their bootstraps?"
Finland has tackled the homeless problem head-on and knocked it down. The United States could glean something from their efforts. I have included the link below. We as a country can and should do better. It's all about priorities. For starters maybe pulling back a few of the subsidies we pay out and taxing the rich comes to mind.
