The issue of homelessness is ever in the news.
As if A Street Cat Named Bob wasn’t enough to highlight the issue and draw attention to the plight of the homeless (in and out of accommodation), the many television reports and newspaper appeals bring to us the reality of living outdoors at night.
The fact is, however, it’s more problematic than that.
There are things which happen every night that affect the life of a homeless person.
There are fights, robberies, assaults and numerous other anti-social acts that affect the homeless, too.
It’s frightening, and it’s alienating.
The fact charities help isn’t the point.
It’s anti-social attitudes which make life harder and more hostile for the homeless.
