The reality of homelessness is not about mental health, drug addiction, and/ or the high cost of living in paradise.  It's the images of poverty, a breakdown of morality and  a forgotten promise to "love one another, as I have loved you."  The rich got richer (our new heroes) and the poor (a blight on mankind) got poorer, and the gap between the two got even wider.  We are in a downward spiral and nothing less than a miracle will stop it.  Who said, "...a great civilization cannot be conquered from without, until it has first weaken itself from within."  Amen?
