I get that for some reason you feel attacked. But that is no excuse for your comments to Jan.
You don’t have to be able to visit Nickelsville every day to have a good idea what happens in the camp… especially not when you are counsel to friends who do.
i can only tell you that the “objective” viewpoint of someone who visits the camp and “talks’ with city hall is very different than the viewpoint of someone who becomes involved in the lives of the people who live there… whether they ever meet them or not.
Because of health issues, I have not been in camp more than a few times in the last few months myself ..
but I still know what goes on there on a day to day basis because of the friends i have made who still live there and elsewhere in our community.
Miws was lucky to have a network of friends who supported him when he couldn’t get a bed in a safe shelter and he couldn’t survive the cold.
not all homeless people are so lucky…
whether you think them to be deserving or not.
without shelter.. people die.
I can tell you for a fact that Jan has a much better understanding of that reality than you do.
You owe her an apology.
