Right, if the contractors looked the other way, I would support that, but I also understand why they didn't or couldn't. I would also bet that the roof sign lady, who didn't have any visible means to climb onto the roof while living there for a year, probably had a number of reasonable people look the other way.

What is appalling is that the working poor cannot afford housing. What is sad is that our society could provide for everyone, but we choose not to. Because profit above all.
