Comments on: Number Of Homeless Drop In Florida http://www.northescambia.com/2013/07/number-of-homeless-drop-in-florida Local News for Molino, Bratt, McDavid, Century, Walnut Hill, Cantonment Tue, 07 Apr 2026 09:43:04 +0000 http://wordpress.org/?v=2.9.2 hourly 1 By: David Huie Green http://www.northescambia.com/2013/07/number-of-homeless-drop-in-florida/comment-page-1#comment-217134 David Huie Green Sat, 20 Jul 2013 00:05:02 +0000 http://www.northescambia.com/?p=145546#comment-217134 REGARDING: "The DCF must not have taken a look at the sidewalks an parks in downtown Pensacola..You can’t enjoy sitting on benches between Wright and Garden on Palafox because the same bunch of bums are there 24 hours a day with their dogs." Unless there are over 45,000 there, it does not disprove the count. I would think different cities had different numbers and some aren't even to be found in cities. "Actually, many homeless refused to do the count/survey this year." That is also nothing new. Some want to be seen, some don't. I doubt it is always the same homeless people. Some die. Some get homes. Some go elsewhere where benefits, jobs or attitudes are different. Some even migrate for different weather. David for a home for everyone unless they don’t want one REGARDING:

Last year one of the group leaders brought a PNJ photographer and pictures were placed in the newspaper on the front page. These were pictures of the homeless camps, paths to their camps and many felt like their privacy was violated. It was sad.... imagine someone going into your house unannounced and taking pictures of your dirty dishes and laundry and posting it on the front page. In some cases, the pictures were taken of camps that the residents weren't home and did not give their permission. It was a complete breech of trust for people that have so little.

Thanks to the mayor they can enjoy free Wi-Fi for their laptop computers..The city don't provide outhouses....no problem...just urinate right there on MLK wall.. I guess this DCF must be the same one that overlooked a lot of child abuse cases.

Just sayin' spread the credit where it is due. Does any credit get to go to the POTUS, the VA and IAVA for Legislation that helps homeless Veterans? Just sayin’ spread the credit where it is due.
