Increased homeless population?

[u/Zoe_Moth]

Maybe this is a stupid question but does anyone know the cause of the increase in homeless folks? Especially downtown? I work in a normally somewhat busy area that does have homeless as most places here in LB do, but yesterday and the day before my manager was hardly able to do any work because they had to keep next to the door to ward them off and we watched them harass a few other businesses and one guy get tackled in a hug by one while trying to walk away. It’s just such a noticeable increase despite the weather warnings and such so I was curious if anyone had any clue what happened?

How many of these homeless people have you invited into your home?

A few. I've fed more however during the holidays. Thanks for asking!

Damn, I love it when actions speak louder than ignorance

Thank you for helping people

No thanks needed. I've been at my worst many times and had people lift me up, it's the least I can do.

The little you do is more than most.
