The [Thursday] Papers
"Three people in Cook County have died due to cold exposure since mid-November, including a 62-year-old man found in a vehicle Tuesday morning in the Austin neighborhood," the Sun-Times reports.
"With temperatures not expected to eclipse the mid-teens until after New Year's Day, Chicago's homeless shelters have become packed with people looking for a respite from the extreme conditions.
"It's life and death out there," said Stephen Welch, director of development at the Pacific Garden Mission in Pilsen. "I talked to a couple of guys who thought they were going to die today. They could barely move."

"The way to end homelessness is hardly to arrest people, keep them in prison for a time and then kick them out on the street again. That's a costly, vicious cycle. What we're doing is making it worse"--UN special rapporteur Philip Alston https://t.co/Bfua7Oz9Fd
