If you think NOLA or BR are bad, go to SF.

The first step is to stop electing people where part of their platform is being soft on crime and incentivizing homeless to be there. Drug and care clinics, soup kitchens and charity services need to be located out of the core business districts and away from most traffic.
Second step is to break down the industry that has been created that feeds off homelessness. Millions upon millions of dollars go to non-profit organizations through grants, federal funding and private donations. Pennies on the dollar actually go to finding a solution or actually helping people. The folks who run many of these organizations have massive operational costs and funnel millions of tax free dollars into their pockets and then line the pockets of politicians as well.
Politicians give the grants through tax dollars, the organizations kick back a good percentage to the campaigns and PACs of the politicians, which they can use at their discretion. Effectively a cycle of getting rich and laundering tax money into politicians hands has been created. California is a great example of this. The more homeless there are, the more rich you can get.
If the homeless go away, the grift ends and nobody in the cycle benefits from that. What incentive is there for anything to really get better in that scenario?

Reopen Mental Asylums.
The mentally disturbed that are homeless can be treated and housed. We can do the same for all of the people with gender dysphoria.

They panhandle every day just getting enough to get high, a meal and apparently a Big Gulp from the local corner store. Occasionally a bad batch of drugs come through and the firefighters and EMS will have to Narcan them to save their lives. Rinse and repeat. I-12 at Sherwood they are like shift workers, one leaves and is immediately replaced by another.
Find the source of the drugs and you win.
FWIW I knew Covid was BS partially because these homeless weren't lying dead on the streets everywhere. Must have amazing immune systems to be on the drugged Big Gulp regimen.

They are parasites and we’re just going to have to nut up and do what needs to be done to parasites. Otherwise it will never end.

Y'all better do something quick.
Over here we have FREE Needle Exchange, about $800 of cash a month, tents everywhere, hotels and motels being paid by taxpayers to house vagrants. City and County lots being rezoned for Tiny Houses.
The former Golden State reeks of golden showers.

This and only this. It's amazing how simple it is not to do this, but people are dumb enough to frick it up.
Sounds like there's 5 more morons who don't get it either.

Why do we bother giving them Narcan? Just put it down as a suicide when they don't wake up. If they want to destroy their life, let them.
Are there stats out there on how many become successful, productive citizens after doing drugs and living on the skreets?

Bleeding hearts are the reason.
Too many services for them means you will have more of them.
