text: We are speaking about Eugene's homeless, not a national situation. Yes, I am aware of studies of homeless, but Eugene's situation is radically different: you seem aware of many studies but not the one recently conducted about the homeless situation in your very own city's downtown. I suppose you wish to conduct this discussion on a superficial plane, but I would ask you consider reality for a moment. My entire discussion is centered on OUR situation, not the state or nation.
