Discussions on homelessness and our city seem to be occurring more and more frequently with the divide between 'sides' seemingly enormous. At a recent meeting with folks from the Coalition to End Homelessness in Macon I posed this question: Who should we feel most sorry for - the homeless community who drinks on the street corner all day urinating and defecating in the alleys, or the business owner who works 80 hours a week and has invested his life savings in a struggling downtown restaurant?
The immediate response of the Coalition member was - I will always answer the homeless.
What are your thoughts - and why?
