Charles, good for you! (From the Street column, SMDP, July 21, page 4). I’ve commented several times about the problem you discuss (unintended consequences from unthinking neonazi rants) both in my letters to your paper and in my own column in Making Change, Santa Monica’s homeless newspaper.
Should anyone contact you about this, you may wish to refer them to Supporting Homeless Existence Leading To Enabled Recovery (S.H.E.L.T.E.R.) Our goal is to remove every homeless person from Santa Monica’s streets, too. But we want to do it by providing secure, sanitary overnight shelter to all who need it.
Anyone interested can reach us via our Web site: www.s-h-e-l-t-e-r.org Keep up the good work.
