Sadly, the homeless who 'choose' to be this way, will never understand that this is a SMALL, under-funded area.
many of us work 2 jobs to stay above poverty level!
We have more than enough compassion here, but we simply cannot AFFORD to take care of hundreds of 'hobos' any longer! Downtown Arcata and Eureka businesses dont owe YOU anything, yet you punish them by driving off their few customers!
GO to a major city, where you will find missions, shelters, lawyers, and who knows? maybe even JOBS???
