Interview with a Balboa Park transient
Real chance for an interesting article here, but, the author blew it. So, the dude worked at a slaughter house and is from the South... He's trying to get to SF... ok, well, I think we all would agree the most interesting factor here, and certainly the reason you're speaking to him, is: he's transient. Why not focus on that a bit more? How did he come to be living out of a shopping cart in Balboa Park? Don't tell me because his RV was stolen at Denny's. My car could be stolen and I would not be pushing a shopping cart as a result. How long has he been homeless? What issues does he contend with as a transient? The article was such a tease, I clicked on it out of google search results (searching for a totally unrelated thing), because it caught my eye and I was expecting more... No follow up on the bridge's interior or the people living inside... just a fluff piece, no substance, no takeaway, waste of time.— March 7, 2019 7:58 a.m.
