Yup, *exactly*. One of the "joys" of urban living is having the homeless
continually rummaging through trash receptacles, especially on the street.
Homeless in my 'hood are always making a big mess by going through peoples'
dumpsters, sometimes they've even started fires on the trash. Last week
this happened to a neighboring building, two firetrucks were called it. It
all amounted to nothing, but it *sure* cost us taxpayers *something*.

Last summer some psycho homeless **** took a part of a 2x4 out of a dumpster
down the street and heaved it through a neighbor's picture window. Very
nice...another 911 call at *someone's* expense...and this particular
homeless **** is *still* roaming the streets, I see...

If blake and serene and cyberkitty are so "concerned" about the homeless,
they might invite some into their homes to live with them, lol...

I'm pretty sick of the homeless continually badgering myself and others and
making pest of themselves, they are one facet of urban life that I
*heartily* detest. They are a cancer on the landscape of city life...
