Don't know

A communist response would be to have the us treasury print out 20 trillion dollars to solve the debt problem

So you don't want to throw them in jail, you want to build a jail around them.



Seriously though, unless you make them wards of the state and institutionalize them, you're not going to be able to keep these unfortunate people away from population centers any more than you can keep the raccoons and possums away. A fenced in field on the outskirts of town does not give them what they need to survive.

teach everyone to help their family and friends so it doesn't become an issue.

Well that's a much better idea than locking them in the gulags and executing them secretly to show the world that communism doesn't have homeless people.

Federally mandated home ownership.

It worked for health insurance.

Society will always have those with mental illness. You could give everyone unlimited treatment, buy them homes, give them money or jobs and you’ll still end up with homeless living on the streets.

Don’t know what the answer is...



Where were all these people living 10-15 years ago?

Literal hordes of people setting up camp under highways in seemingly every city really didn't exist until then. Sure, you'd see one or two "homeless" guys here and there, but it was never basically everywhere you looked.

What changed?

They are like cats.


Stop feeding them and they will go away.

I understand some have mental issues but most are perfectly healthy people who have just accepted that lifestyle.


Just because the person isn't talking to themselves or walking around in circles doesn't mean they're mentally right. Obviously there's something there because they're living on side of a street, defecating a bush and eating out of a garbage can.

He knew she was acting weird when he would leave home so he hired a PI. He thought she was just out fricking around some dude. PI had her on video leaving home dressed in basically rags and parking her vehicle then going out to a homeless camp.


God damn that's weird.
