I ran out of charactors. What I mean is without any kind of accountability what-so-ever? In Hawaii it is against the law to feed the pidgeons simply because during the high tourist season they would thrive and reproduce and then the low season would occur causing the young birds to die. Feeding the homeless is a noble undertaking but it does nothing to solve the problem. Without accountability or even basic case management the consumers drift back to the streets to await another free meal. One month of defense budget spending would go a long way to overworked sociologists.

I changed careers the first year I spent as a LCSW in Alameda County, California. Ten years in Social Work didn't prepare me what I am seeing here.
