When it comes to homelessness, my heart is in danger of bleeding dry
I’m a bleeding-heart liberal, voting green or orange, or strategically red. I’m also fortunate: I make a good living and am happy to be taxed to help improve the lives around me. Most of my family and friends share my sociopolitical views, which is comfortable and reaffirming.
Lately, however, I’ve sensed a subtle shifting of the plates in my social-justice core, relating to a specific quadrant of lefty groupthink: the dual crisis of addiction and homelessness.
Liberal gets mugged by reality story ahead.
