    During the heatwave this last month, local buildings set themselves up as “cooling centers” with AC and free water bottles. I bet it hardly impacted their bottom lines, and took a minimum of effort to deploy. I doubt anyone that took advantage of them even thought about the homeless people in our community. And if they did, it probably would have been because a homeless guy walked in and took a water. The amount of disgust people have for homeless individuals is monstrous. It doesn’t help that our community has done everything to remove shelters and programs for them.

    Housing is a basic human right, and we are failing these people.
