“‘I’d Rather Sleep on Concrete’: Fort Worth Man Explains Why He Won’t Go to Homeless Shelters: Fort Worth leaders say they are investing more money in shelters and housing to tackle homelessness, but people like Tony Davis say the streets still feel safer than the system. Davis told me he has been homeless in Fort Worth for about 15 years and refuses to sleep in local shelters because he worries about bed bugs, theft, and his personal safety. When outreach teams point to open beds, Tony shakes his head and lays down on the sidewalk instead, saying he would rather face the night air than close his eyes in a place he do not trust.

Yes it's a fact I remember the woman up here used to tell us what to do, they would have us cleaning up after nasty people for chores and I can't hardly pick up anymore and to have them create a non sense environment for a permanent place needed for these people, not 30 days,60 or 90 days, they need to rest for years and all you guys are doing is dragging them back in to go to work at that point and they can't comply, don't you understand that, stop pushing people into the streets and find long term housing that is very affordable or the same cycle y'all created for people will continue. He's in between Landlords and employers and those are the choices that can be changed to create a better future for people but everyone is stuck on narcissistic Sociopathic beliefs that we have to work and pay rent instead of building a house and living in it like a normal human thing was given natural for survival and we don't know where all of you get these people are l
