Sam:

I am not disagreeing anything. It's more like a disblieve.
1/4 of whatever true or not , homeless is an issue the government
is unable to solve so far. Homeless vet is another VA is unable
to solve either. There are plenty of other serious issues of the
country that are not properly addressed. Health care is another
time bomb waiting to explode.

I play classical guitar. Sometimes I imagined to use the skill to
beg (for money) in San Francisco and give the money to homeless
people around me who have no such skill to compete with me. But
I have a second thought now. I don't want to be jailed by Gavin
Newsom.

My point is, the homeless issue (vet or not) need everyone's effort
to solve. It's almost impossible to replace the government. But I
am willing to do my share to make it change.
