Do Abbott, Patrick, Paxton and their malignant minions ever sleep? What unspeakably rotten people! And stupidly shortsighted.
The Homeless are desperate people, and desperate people are driven to desperate acts to survive. And nothing is more essential to survival that food. So if people with good hearts – unlike Abbott and his evil posse – are feeding the hungry, then those unfortunate folk aren't driven to crime in order to eat. Win-win.
How people come to be homeless is immaterial. What's important is how we help them out of that hole. Deliberately starving them, and then punishing those trying to help them, is NOT the solution.
Abbott is an asshole of astronomical proportions. But that describes every Republican that Satan ever defecated. Abbott deserves a truly vile description all to himself.
It's a shame that tree's commitment to its task wasn't stronger.

ON EDIT: While Abbott's malign influence may only tangentially influence Houston's municipal policies, it's is a miasma that permeates and poisons every aspect of Texas politics. Here's hoping the election of a Democratic mayor, John Whitmire, may make Houston's policies toward the homeless a little more even-handed.
