Noelani,
Just give up with trying to explain this to rick. I have presented link after link after link of annual reports, and the demographics and all kinds of information to prove that point, and he willfully ignores every single piece of factual data instead in support of his prejudice views of the homeless. and then classic... calls the other guy a bigot. 
Noelani, you are talking to a stone wall when you are trying to convince rick of anything other than what he assumes to be accurate.
