re: What should we do about the homeless problem?

Pick them all up in a CATS bus and airdrop them into the half empty NFL stadiums.

The vast majority of them are severely mentally ill (schizophrenia and the like). Most of them are not just "down on their luck" but are incapable of doing a whole lot.

This.

Mentall illness, alcohol and drug addiction. Or all the above. There is no other reason for a person to REMAIN on the street.

I can see a very small percent of people who lose a job or a business closes ending up “down on their luck”, but those folks end up in shelters. They end up finding programs and safety nets that can get them into housing and a job of some sort.

Drunks, junkies, and bipolar people aren’t too good at filling out forms.
