Mama P It was in the FORMER homeless camp. People were still there trying to get in thinking they could sneak in and not be seen. I could see the fire from near the mall and the lovely smell of burning plastic and god knows what else wafted over the SW part of town for a while.

Well considering the city removed 44 TONS of trash with a lot of drug needles in it yesterday, it does not surprise me. I had a few encounters INSIDE the Bayshore Mall with homeless panhandling and getting nasty because I will never ever give them money so they can go buy booze and drugs. They can kiss my white a$$ and get a job. I give my money to real charities, like the kitchen that feeds the homeless or local animal shelters.

Why does everyone use the terms “homeless” and “transient” as if they are the same and interchangeable? I lost my home I owned in this community years ago and my fixed income is not enough to afford rent anywhere in my own community. I am “homeless”. I am not “transient” which implies I am a traveler and just moving through. My children and grandchildren were all born here. This is my home, my community. I am homeless in my own community. Were I somewhere else, I would also be “transient, a traveler, since other places are not my home.
