Because, of course there's an app for that. Well,there wasn't an app
before. These people also have a website with the same information. The
homeless center downtown has an excellent booklet that they update
regularly. If they didn't have this information already, they do now. I
might have an old copy or two around the house somewhere. They have been
printing them for a long time and hand them out for free.

This is also further proof of what I've been saying about going for
the cheap solutions here. Our dumbass liberals just love spending other
people's money on drug addicts and people with "behavior problems". LOL

What percentage of the addicted have cellphones?

I have never checked, but it's likely that the majority of them do.
It used to be that just about all of them had a cellphone because you
needed it to stay in touch with your dealer. And many of them become
dealers who need to stay in touch with their customers. You probably
have to get to the real down and out to find people who don't have one,
or at least access to one. Renting out your cellphone is another way to
make a little money on the streets. It's common to see homeless people
charging their phones at available outlets downtown.

This reminds me of when I was surprised by a Mayan woman in
traditional clothing when she pulled out her flip phone. She was in a
public market in Mexico selling stuff they had smuggled in from
Guatamala. I quickly realized that I shouldn't have been surprised.

I know I've mentioned this before, but it's been a long time. These
days we have very rich homeless people. Some of them hold down real jobs
and don't use drugs. When I was a kid the homeless people wore ragged
clothes and were lucky to own a blanket. At night you would see them
lying on the sidewalks. Now, some of the don't even own the worn out RV
they're living in. They pay rent for a bed in an RV that might have been
towed to that spot.
