Still feels odd to post news from 3 years ago.

Me too.
Because that would mean I'm living in the worst part of town.
Would be nice to see them more equitably spread.

I would prefer to see them institutionalized.

Where I live they put the shelter in a light industrial part of town, which works for me.  One of the hidden advantages of cold weather is it's mostly someone else's problem.

Hence 'beyond the Pale' , a phrase I feel should have been deemed un-PC and retired a long time ago.
