Personally I would like to see the emergence of some form of communal living together with work where possible to offset the costs.

She eventually accepted help from nuns and if still.alive lives on a barge and has done for many years . She would beg for money and use it for hard drugs as would her friends . They were not hungry as always given food but it was alcohol and drugs they craved. An eye opening story and Chris Kitch ends her story by saying " dont give money to the homeless as you keep them there "
