"Through the night, a homeless man who had scaled a nine-story crane above a new downtown housing development hunkered down in the glass paneled basket and shouted to the police below: "I'm homeless. I haven't been fed. I'm cold."
It wasn't only police who gathered near the base of the building across from City Hall for what would be a 14-hour waiting game as Sunday night stretched into Monday morning before 39-year-old Alam Skandar climbed down from his precarious perch after an officer promised him a burrito." (
