Well thanks for the compliment, don;t know that I had ever been called a mensch, and didn't know the meaning either. I knew your your question was rhetorical but it was an opportunity to point out what a lot of people may not see when it comes to the homeless as they go out of their ways to avoid even being in areas when homeless gather.
Compassion has become a lot like common courtesy and common sense, both of those are becoming more uncommon than common.
