Rest stops are trying to be part of the solution. 
Have you nothing better to do then spout off? How, on God's green earth do you expect homeless people to get up those hills? Do you ride your bike to take a hike? Quit using this discussion to highlight your avid biking.  Why don' t you use your time working for money to buy in the south hills instead of your precious Whiteaker (was a bigot!?!?)  river front neighborhood? 
The rest stops in your neighborhood do not effect you. The people that hang out on the river (human beings) are not all from the rest stops in your precious neighborhood. Again, have you nothing better to do than pick on people who have addiction problems but are still valuable human beings? Freedom of speech all the way but your attitude is not helping.
