So I spent four years away from the great city of Chicago to see an incredible amount of hitchhikers in southern California and a few of them while overseas in Japan. The four years i had prior to that adventure driving around in Chicago there were always homeless but not as many as I have seen the past year back.
From a majority of men a few years back spread throughout the city at random and not as frequent, to an alarming number of individuals now found at gas stations, highway exits, and other public intersections. It saddens me as this people are spread throughout the city that we can't consolidate the groups and somewhat guide them in the right direction since we lack one. While millions have been affected by the recent economic crisis, for those already at the bottom of the barrel in life it has taken away the few benefits or resources they used to have to now fix other issues that affect middle class America. God forbid you sell a car or downsize in suburbia, let us find a way to bail you out.
Where is the bail out for the homeless???
