      I took this shot a while ago but I felt conflicted about showing it. I do not want to exploit the poor and call it art. I finally decided to upload it because I find the image raises that same question. When I look at this I feel a sense of both comfort and discomfort in the extreme.

      Hi Gerry, I just read your extended comment on this photo in the Robbing the Homeless of their Dignity group - interesting photo and interesting story. I've seen a similar thing in many cities around the world - their leaders think they can 'improve' things by driving out poor people. But everyone has to live somewhere! Sometimes there are good intentions, as with slum clearances, but they destroyed communities and just moved the slums to high-rises, which ended up being worse to live in.
