My unsupported speculation is that the public see the homeless as people that tumbled downwards because of mental issues and addictions. What's not often considered is the community that they live in - they still have social interactions; they still feel pride and depression and snark and remorse. Mommying them by giving them a bed and curfew isn't just demeaning to a homeless man, it's demeaning to anyone. I'm not sure if this is the right solution but I'm glad to see they're trying new things.
Thanks--ya no logins needed. Would an alert where you choose the product you're interested in, put in your email address, and then get an email the day it's released help? Or would you only want to check it right before a purchase?
However the option to also receive alerts in exchange for my email address would be a nice additional option (emphasis on additional... main use would be the former).
