There was a homeless person (I assume) sleeping in a couch outside my front door last night. I live on a fairly major thoroughfare and that can't have been optimal. In the morning, the couch was gone, and so was the person. In general Madison is filled with the homeless during summer (lots of park space, guaranteed hospitable nights), but I haven't observed any instances of street begging. Just existence.
