Homelessness - Shame on us!

It's frigidly cold here in our city, and last night on the news I heard a Red Cross announcement advising homeless people to go to shelters. So, how exactly were the homeless people going to get this message. They are not driving cars while listening to the radio, watching television in the comfort of their homes, etc. In our beautiful, bountiful country, there should be no homelessness. In our city we spend money to do cosmetics to city properties; build new government offices; and countless other "necessary" expenditures. Why can't we build shelters? Places to go if you're homeless? A warm place to sleep in the winter months, a safe place to sleep all year. Shame on us Canada! No one would "choose" to be homeless. We've got our priorities seriously screwed up!
