Unfortunately seeing people in distress, half-dead, three sheets to the wind or otherwise, has become an everyday occurrence, especially for those of us living downtown. My Goose Hollow neighborhood could easily pass for an episode of the Walking Dead. It's shameful we don't have more systems in place for these folks, especially in a city with so much wealth. Every time I step over someone I'm filled with a wave of shame for not doing more to help them, and anger at our leaders for letting things get so bad. That being said, I take solace in knowing there are scores of amazing people in our community who are doing their best to help, like you. Your writing has really helped me work through these feelings, and inspires me to take more action. Thanks for that.
