Viewing this documentary put homelessness into a different perspective for me.\u00a0 It was hard for me to see because I have never seen homelessness in this light.\u00a0 I never really seen how the homeless live\u00a0on a daily basis.\u00a0 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.\u00a0 Growing up, I was always told to stay away or ignore the homeless population.\u00a0 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.\u00a0 People would rather choose to ignore the problem rather than figuring out a way to solve it.\u00a0 Even though Taylor did not win his campaign, what he showed was enough to show people that things need to change.\u00a0 People should not be faulted for being poor.\u00a0 I do not think they should be faulted or constantly ticketed for choosing to stay out on the sidewalk.\u00a0 Since we are a culture of individuality\u00a0and 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.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
