Nobody wants the homeless people, surprise, surprise.

Well, perhaps San Diego isn't all acupuncture and massages for their displaced. It's that time of year again, when people are supposed to get all giving and charitable and when the weather gets a little colder. It's also the time of year when San Diego opens it's winter homeless shelter. But not this year. Sign on San Diego reports:

Since 1999, the winter shelter was in Barrio Logan. But protests and Councilman Ben Hueso, who represents the area, persuaded the council on Oct. 16 to move the shelter to 11th Avenue and G Street, an East Village neighborhood undergoing rapid gentrification. That caused a stir among residents there, and they successfully argued to have the council reconsider its decision. The council yesterday voted unanimously to put the 200 beds under a tent in a paved lot near Petco Park known as Tailgate Park despite looming issues.

It's not an easy decision to make, nor an easy responsibility to have, but perhaps someone has to step up and offer shelter. Blackwater? Can you hear us Blackwater?
