The Homeless/Vagrants are getting out of control in downtown Sarasota and surrounding cities.

UPDATED – With Pictures of Homeless, Vagrant, Displaced

It appears the city and police are making a gentle push to move the growing hoard of bums that congregate outside Elaine Fischer’s store on North Lemon Ave, the downtown public library, five points, and throughout downtown, every evening.

HOMELESSNESS

THE PROBLEM IS REAL – The perspective is different. I am confident that there are many voices who argue for compassion and support for the homeless. I understand this support for folks who are earnest in making positive strides, volunteering and putting in an effort to lift themselves up. From what I see every night while I work downtown, the homeless on the streets of Sarasota, are not the ones you would find on an infomercial with Sarah McGlaughlin music playing in the background.
