A lot of people like the idea of providing shelter for the homeless, but ?no one really wants a homeless shelter in their neighborhood,? Conner Wild writes in the current issue of Street Pulse, Madison?s newspaper about the homeless community. Conflating homelessness with alcoholism and criminal activity, and laziness is the palliative Americans swallow in order to rationalize the increasingly callous treatment of the homeless. It reflects a profound classism and skewed perception of what homelessness is and who is homeless,? writes Wild, a student at UW-Madison. Wild, who has been working with the nonprofit Street Pulse for four years, acknowledges in his column that the shelter attracted some disruptive people, but he goes on to say that homeless people aren?t the only ones who disturb the peace of Madison neighborhoods.
