Lake Worth makes Resolution to help Homeless in cold wheater

Lake Worth Beach City Commission passed a resolution

This was asking Palm Beach County to change its criteria for declaring cold-weather emergencies.

City commissioners hope their resolution, approved 4-0 (with Mayor Betty Resch on an excused absence), will carry more clout than similar recent requests from homeless advocates that have gotten zero response from county officials.

The resolution, proposed by City Commissioner Christopher McVoy at the request of homeless advocates, asks the county to open its shelters when forecasts call for temperatures of 50 degrees or lower. The resolution also asks the county to announce plans to open the shelters at least 24 hours in advance.

The advocates for the homeless don't really care about the homeless. If they did, they would see that they are off the streets and alleys, and housed in a facility that can address their individual needs, and maybe, just maybe, actually help some of them to live normal lives again.

Advocates for this and that, are really just anti-social misfits, who hate society, and want us all to suffer their insufficiencies.
