Because the answer to homelessness isn’t to leave them on the street when it hits 20-30 below.

Agreed.

But guess what, it’s not EPS’s job to fix the situation with shelters or any of the other problems.

Technically an accurate description of the current structure of the government.

But if the government is unwilling or unable to keep homeless people off the streets, that doesn’t mean EPS should just sit back and let them build tent cities all over the place.

Why not? Obviously the homeless prefer it over... actually, what's the alternative again?
