Viewing this documentary put homelessness into a different perspective for me.  It was hard for me to see because I have never seen homelessness in this light.  I never really seen how the homeless live on a daily basis.  Seeing how Taylor wanted to create some sort of change was hopeful that there is still a number of people who care enough to try to improve the homelessness issue.  Growing up, I was always told to stay away or ignore the homeless population.  It was hard to see the harsh words that people would say to describe this community because it was similar to things that I have heard around the community.  People would rather choose to ignore the problem rather than figuring out a way to solve it.  Even though Taylor did not win his campaign, what he showed was enough to show people that things need to change.  People should not be faulted for being poor.  I do not think they should be faulted or constantly ticketed for choosing to stay out on the sidewalk.  Since we are a culture of individuality and free choice if someone chooses to be homeless why are people trying to change it? If people are trying to get off the street why aren’t more of the shelters or programs more willing to be flexible with their rules/regulations in letting people in? The stereotype of the homeless community turns people away from seeing the fact that they are just like any other ‘normal’ people who choose to stay outside.
