I think the author of this piece agrees with you. Aside from whether or not it ultimately helps homeless people in a statistical sense, it seems ridiculous to me that the government should get involved in my decision to give someone spare change, or a bite to eat. Homelessness is a problem, but my interaction with a homeless person must transcend statistics because I am human and so are they.I believe the real reason cities want homeless services to move indoors is to hide the problem so they will face less pressure to fund solutions.
