It's been extremely disheartening seeing so many camped put in doorways of vacant storefronts these past few years. It feels like the humanity is being ripped out from society bit by bit.

They aren't wrong. Several unhoused will refuse to be sheltered and there's a good chance some will die from exposure, drinking too much to fight the cold, or taking too much then they don't feel the cold.
