Shelters are a thing, but barriers exist. Shelters are often overcrowded or filled to capacity, and the tightness of the quarters sparks a lot of interpersonal drama, and many of them are sober shelters that bar anybody who might even look under the influence. I used to work at a shelter in New England and the hardest part was getting the folks to buy in to it and actually get there asses there.

Plus the sexual assault rate in shelters - regardless of gender - is sky-high, at least where I live. Other residents and attendants both.

That's not the point. It's not a race to the bottom. We shouldn't just ignore the problems here because others have it worse.

It's a childish mentality, to think that if you love America you can never examine our faults.
