Heartening Story Out NorCal

Decriminalizing sleeping in your car. Sure is a wretched practice having the cops roust people who have no where else to go. Kudos to good folk up there.

This is just so wrong.

"Frederick Helmke, 55, attended Stanford University and once had a home and business. But it all unraveled. Three abdominal surgeries and other personal issues left him struggling. He bought a decrepit 1971 El Dorado camper from a desperate friend a few years back — for $38.40 — and that has been home."

This one too.

"Shortly before 10 p.m., Tom and Allison Dunn pulled up in their 2002 Mercury Sable. Their two high-school-aged children were with friends in the Marin County town of Novato, where the Dunns once owned a 5,200-square-foot home.
Tom, 57, held software industry jobs for years, before recession, unemployment and a 2009 foreclosure turned his world around. He and Allison, 49, both developed health problems. They've now saved cash for housing, but with poor credit, no landlord will have them.
The safe parking program, Tom Dunn said as he huddled by a propane heater at dawn, "has been amazing."
"Just to be safe, with a little warmth," he said, his voice trailing off." italics mine
