What is your solution to the homeless problem?

I live in downtown Houston and it's absolutely disgusting. Under any freeway they set up camps, tents, etc and leave their trash everywhere. I understand some have mental issues but most are perfectly healthy people who have just accepted that lifestyle.

Any time of day, you drive by and they are just sitting in camping chairs 'hanging out'. No motive to do anything but occasionally beg for free stuff offering nothing in return.

I understand you can't throw them in jail, most are harmless, but their laziness and filth ruin areas of the city that would normally be attractive specifically around Minute Maid Park. Why can't the city buy some land on the outskirts, fence it in, and let them just camp there? I'm not sure what the answer is.

My last straw was going for a run last night and a homeless had his pant around ankles taking a dump in the middle of the sidewalk. I've chosen to move to the burbs. Another tax paying worker being forced out and commute because of the catered to trash of Houston. I'm not talking bout 2-3 beggars on a street corner...it's 100s everywhere infiltrated in the city.
