Month: September 2014

On the streets of Manhattan, a homeless person can be invisible — even when it’s Richard Gere shooting the drama Time Out of Mind.

Every day I commute into the city along with hundreds of thousands of other New Yorkers. On my walk to the subway, I pass by a homeless man. For months and months, I walked by him and felt bad about it.

What can be done about homeless people, those poor, sick, jobless souls who just can’t seem to get their acts together and whose suffering  makes the streets and sidewalks so uncomfortable for the rest of us?
