Great letter Chris. A day center for people that need warmth, comfort, company, clean clothes, encouragement, advice and an ear. The amount of people that show up to seek shelter at Egan Warming Centers is encouraging.  People that live without housing are valuable human beings. If they are having a rough time (read; addictions and/or bad decision making) a shelter will help them get back on track with their life. How? Because they will want to participate. As far as burying cable lines. I used to care about things like that. We have to prioritize basic human rights!
