Undisciplined homeless choose the streets

I am offended by the article asking us to look at homeless in a new and helpful way. Nowhere does it show how this is done.

This article simply is another example of extensive writing and not doing anything about the problem. My experience is that these are not homeless but undisciplined people who choose this lifestyle.

There are many resources in Fresno County for people who need assistance, from housing to health care, food, clothing, and other necessities of life. My suggestion is to quit writing and get on the street to get a real experience with this population.
