Just because we pretend we have given alternatives that they turn down in preference to a tent at the side of Charles St. doesn't mean we can say they "don't want to be helped". You try living in a shelter for a week, you'll find real quick why some choose to sleep on Charles St.
Isn't ABTC attempting to address this, to provide at least modest shelter without the rules and other issues associated with staying at one of the conventional shelters?
And I did ask this before ... is there space at ABTC for the people who were evicted from this encampment? I don't know how to find this out.
