maybe its just dayton (and trust me we have tons of homeless and old people there) but i always hear about peole dying from the heat more than from the cold.
plus they are doing this cross country thing of pushing out all the "slum". they did it in chicago by tearing down projects but no one ever thought to ask 'what happens to all those people living in the projects?"
they did almost the same thing in dayton to homeless people. they made it against the law to pan handle. you have to have a license for it. some homeless people would do it just to go to jail for the food and shelter but for a lot of others it drove them away. not that theyre not still homeless but theyre just not in dayton anymore.
my brother is in film and was doing a documentary around this time on homeless people and offered a guy a burger from mcdonalds and the guy refused to take it because he was afraid my brother was undercover and trying to catch him taking food so he could arrest him.
anyways.... im going political (i have a bad habit of that).
i stand corrected, cyran0. i looked it up and more people die from cold than heat. maybe they just report heat deaths more than cold deaths in dayton for some reason.....
sorry for the assumption. so someone mark it down... im admitting im wrong. lol
