Agreed I think when you're in Pittsburgh and you threaten to shut down Kennywood at a news conference, perhaps there is a reason all the other messages get lost.

Wonder if next he'll have a new conference saying that Heinz Ketchup will be banned in Allegheny county?

Housing in NOT step one. A comprehensive solution is needed, you don't piece this shit together. You're a fucking nurse, you should understand that covering up symptoms does not fix the problem.

Your last paragraph is just a bunch of feel good emotional thinker gibberish. My brother was in the pilot EMS program by the Center for Emergency Medicine and is now an ER nurse, I'll have to ask him if he knows what you're talking about.

I've got a 12" cube cooler and my wife and older two kids and I can pack lunch for everyone in there pretty easily. Might need a second one for drinks but I feel like it's plenty of space for a single person.

That said, if you go multiple times or go on really hot days those refill cups are terrific and alleviate needing to bring water. Got them with our season passes last year and it was much better than our usual lugging around a dozen water bottles in the stroller.

Lmfao so which homeless people are "illegitimate"?

If the goal is to improve the community then we have to help people who have more needs than you are comfortable with.

A lot of shelters really don't have a safe or supportive environment so before you slag off on whole populations maybe check whether they are required to leave their dignity at the door. Many shelters don't allow pets, have unreasonable hours and requirements, have abusive staff, the list goes on. Many people are distrustful of shelters because many shelters are worse than sleeping outside.
