Nice Work La Jolla

La Jolla's solution to dealing with the homeless? They've hired local "civic minded" volunteers to squat on public benches in the hopes of driving the homeless to other locations, anywhere but La Jolla. No kidding? Nice work La Jolla. Is that what it's come to?

However, my money is still on homeless guy, he's got moxy baby and not much more come to think of it. La Jolla, you can Tivo and camp out all day long on your public benches but at some point you'll need to refroth that latte and recharge that BlackBerry. Homeless guy? Not so much. It's not that he's more disciplined than you La Jolla...it's that he has no other place to go. Nice work La Jolla.

Looking forward to seeing the volunteer work high school and college kids will post from their summer internships: Jimmy worked on adult literacy, Janey campaigned for better water protection. And as for Timmy, well Timmy bum-blocked homeless guy all summer long at tony Prospect Street. Nice work, Timmy, nice work.
