this town and one of the things that struck b me about come back to san francisco was the lack of care if you don't care enough for veterans today then authorities bigger problem you're going to face later is what are we're going to do about them until we do something about the homeless vet then the problem that ms. city and counties around the nation there is no one that the veterans feel like they can go to they go to the streets and end up in prisons and jails we can stop it we can do it today by offering the veterans a place to stay i wouldn't be able to live in the city i was born in without the hud system i couldn't afford it i plead with you taking into
