Charlotte gets invaded by homeless?

[Ja Rhule]

Was watching news this morning and they reported that other cities and towns in NC pack buses full of homeless people and send them to Charlotte. Now Charlotte has a huge spike in homeless people pupation in downtown area. Anyone else heard that?

Some would call that constituency consolidation.

Auburn Al used to buy them bus tickets out of town.

This was a fairly common occurrence many years ago throughout the country.

 

It is becoming increasingly difficult to wade thru the masses of people either panhandling or selling Panther tickets when I go to Charlotte home games.

Funny California buys them one way tickets to Hawaii.

Pupation? are they turning into beautiful homeless butterflies? Or ugly homeless moths?

Good thing we have that homeless trash compactor.

too bad elevation church has decided to budget millions for staff salary, gated estates, and band equipment or they could maybe make a sizable dent in the homeless community

I guess the beds are better there for the winter. But they always come back to Winston Salem.

Yep. Walk up tryon street after midnight. every bench and bus stop will have someone sleeping. the church between 8th and 9th street usually has about 15 people sleeping on its front steps.

If that church had elevation money it would be able to make a positive impact in the city. I sit on its outreach board. We try to do as much as we can. It is not a profit center by any means.

On Sundays you'll see rich, young, old, poor, straight, and gay there. It's a cool more liberal vibe in there. You just won't see a lot of people.

good to hear people are helping out. I've worked with a loose knit group of folks who did a lot for the homeless population. everyone seems to have gone their own ways lately, though. not much has been done lately
