Seems this church in Tampa thought it would be nice to offer its grounds as a homeless haven, now they regret it. Just like the south park episode 'Night of the living homeless' one nice gesture lead to scores of homeless showing up every night using the grounds as a bathroom, littering, fighting etc. Other do gooders showed up with food leading to even more homeless showing up, now its "spiraling out of control".

Gee I wonder why there are so many homeless in downtown Jax? Hmmmm...............
Unfortunate situation. However, you'd think they would see that coming by a mile.
I saw that episode of south park halarious; however, the homeless situation isn't at all funny. NYC cares more about their homeless then Jacksonville does for sure.
