Though I would not use this language, I sort of agree with your point. NYC has many more homeless people than LA has, but does not have California's "homeless issue"--95% of NYC's homeless are "institutionalized" in shelters, vs something like 25% in LA; plus NY has a lot more social services to help them get back on their feet. I think LA should build more shelters.

We have a breakthrough! Hell has frozen over. You made my day FlyingScot! I would support building more shelters.

Here's the latest down here in CT:

"Fishing season opened in Connecticut Wednesday, a few weeks earlier than usual, in an effort to shrink the size of crowds that typically gather on opening day in April. Anglers are encouraged to practice social distancing and remain six feet apart."

Here in NH, the lakes up north and smaller lakes here & there still have enough ice to support fishing through the ice til March 31 and you can still do your social distancing all alone with a soothing bottle of Jack Daniels on the ice.

Just don't go without your foam noodle belt worn under your coat, out of sight, so people don't actually see you wearing the noodle or the bottle of jack.
