I read and consider all points of view .  In the past I have gone into great detail on how I would help the street homeless in  Anchorage . It has fallen on deaf ears.  People want to make excuses on how we should just keep doing what we are doing , and the death toll continues with no end in sight. I've mentioned assigning each street person a mentor to help them find a way out of this deadly life style.  The problem is well meaning people want to continue to enable the street lifestyle to thrive in Anchorage. Until we stop the enablers, like Beans and Francis , nothing will improve.  That nothing improves , proves my point. Building a homeless shelter for alcoholics and then allowing them to drink while on site is as insane as it gets. Do they allow drinking booze at rehab centers ?  My goal in all of this is to save lives . The current method is allowing the death toll to continue to rise . Many of you seem content with that.  Money donated to Beans and Francis enables the homeless.
