re: What’s your solution for the homeless?

90% of the homeless have drug and/or alcohol addictions. Years of substance abuse changes their brain. Until you stop this as a root cause, you are wasting time and effort.

We'd need to:
- eliminate any access to addictive drugs by protecting our borders / ports from allowing illegal drugs to enter our country
- enforce laws against hard drug use/distribution
- FORCE people into rehab, productive society

None of this is going to happen. It's only going to get worse, especially now that housing costs are a higher percentage of income. We are just going to see more and more people first living in their cars, then becoming drug addicted and joining the herd. It's sad.

It is the price of living in a free society where people are allowed to make bad decisions, again and again. Why should productive society support their addictions?
