“‘I’d Rather Sleep on Concrete’: Fort Worth Man Explains Why He Won’t Go to Homeless Shelters: Fort Worth leaders say they are investing more money in shelters and housing to tackle homelessness, but people like Tony Davis say the streets still feel safer than the system. Davis told me he has been homeless in Fort Worth for about 15 years and refuses to sleep in local shelters because he worries about bed bugs, theft, and his personal safety. When outreach teams point to open beds, Tony shakes his head and lays down on the sidewalk instead, saying he would rather face the night air than close his eyes in a place he do not trust.
