every day on my walk to school I walk by Jacobs park. A park where I see two older men who are homeless. there quite sweet saying hi to me every time i pass since I see them every day but now these 2 sweat men there being displaced because its "unsafe" and there is a safety risk. so they decided to build a fence all over this beautiful park. sadly them being "criminals and drug addicts" a stereotype plaguing very homeless person in Tucson there seen as less than, as if they are all constantly choosing to be in there situation. i plea with everyone next time you see a homeless person give them water, talk to them, help them feel seen its what we all yearn for. I'm tired of the dehumanization of the homeless
