Sorry for the thread drift but growing up in the 50s and 60s my cousins lived in the heart of the City and I was out running around with them all the time. Even then we knew to avoid the Tenderloin and SOMA was really seedy.

I just read that because of numerous incidents and complaints, Hartsfield Airport in ATL is finally closing some terminals late at night to all but ticketed pax to prevent the homeless from sleeping and bathing there. I wish I had the wisdom and the wherewithal to solve the homeless problem but I just don’t.

"I wish I had the wisdom and the wherewithal to solve the homeless problem but I just don’t."

I wish more civic and state "leaders" had your self-awareness and admitted it. They'd get my vote every time.
