In Houston now and E-waste, Recycling and Treatment of the Homeless have come fast and furious. Currently on a slow and disappointed burn over Houston's Media and at Large 1970's response.

Indeed in the 1970s I was what is now called Homeless in Houston. I lived in my car then in several transient hotels, the Downtown Y and a place called Mainstream. I worked at the docks to get out of the car then at Peakload where I interacted daily with folks living at The Sally, Star and Open Door. Everyone knew if you were caught without an ID and $10.00 you were headed for 51 Reisner.

        recycling where there is a marketable commodity allows for entrepreneurs to operate from the level of meeting a truck at 5am to sell to the truck just as for years we met trucks at 3am to 5am to get newspapers to sell.

        Where there is not a market and there is material we need to look at better use and planning along all phases of the life cycle so that there is a market.

        And of course sweeping people out of downtown and midtown will sweep them onto Metrorail on passes given out by those who are "helping" so they can spend their days on rail platforms and on rail cars cutting into metro profits and keeping all but the poorest or most fool hardy off rail then they will also go out to our neighborhoods on those rails and recycle anything not tied down. So why not channel all that energy into replicating the Compucycle or FreeGeek model in every vacant space in our city large enough to do so. http://www.click2houston.com/web/kprc/news/hundreds-of-overdoses-tied-to-emerging-illegal-drug was also too timely for me not to believe there is a city gov coordination to make us look the other way as human rights are violated.
