Rittenhouse or Home

Rittenhouse Square has been all over the news recently, particularly for the sizable population of homeless people bedding down for the night in the park (or, as one newspaper report noted, having sex) this summer. Surely this is not the first occurrence of homeless park-sleepers, but it has been used as an example of the failure, due to slowness of action, of the new mayor's homelessness plan.

Is it coincidence that the problem at Rittenhouse gets front-page coverage in the Inquirer while also being one of the ritziest neighborhoods in the city?

And realistically, as M. Night Shyamalan has shown us, the real danger in Rittenhouse is not the homelessness, but the sudden suicide epidemic among park-goers that will happen when the plants consider us threats and chemically "reverse" the brain's self-preservation mechanism. Beware.
