I can understand why Mr. Schenkelberg is upset. If Chicago’s homeless population migrates to other cities and states to avoid music, how is Schenkelberg going to make a living if he can’t solve the homelessness crisis? Again, I’m sure he can learn something from California government agencies and nonprofits that exist solely to help homeless industrial parks and make millions of dollars. doing.
