Wow.  This article really highlights a major portion of the debate in Eugene.  The lady interviewed in this article has a huge internet presence.  If you look you'll have a hard time thinking that she has no alternative to being homeless.  We really need to take care of those that are truly down and out in our community.  We cant have people who, last year, got bored of being an educated, employed, middle class mom and decided to take off to the road taking space in the limited shelter we have.  She has five grown kids, they seem to love each other.  Maybe Kerri can ask to stay with one of them so we can get another person off our streets.  I suppose staying with your kids isn't exactly the "Gypsies, Tramps and Thieves" (her words) lifestyle that she wants.  Go home, we need those spaces for people who have no other options.
