It’s mostly a mental health issue, so I’d work it from that angle. I’m not qualified to have any real opinion beyond that.

Offer treatment for mental illness and substance abuse. If they refuse, they get no other assistance.

Bring back nut houses and add huge substance abuse wings.

Round em up.

The percentage of severe mental illness amongst homeless populations is staggering.

Deinstitutionization started in the 1960s.

quote:

Deinstitutionalization as a policy for state hospitals began in the period of the civil rights movement when many groups were being incorporated into mainstream society. Three forces drove the movement of people with severe mental illness from hospitals into the community: the belief that mental hospitals were cruel and inhumane; the hope that new antipsychotic medications offered a cure; and the desire to save money [8]. It has not worked out as well as expected on any of the three fronts

quote:

In Lake v. Cameron, a 1966 D.C. Court of Appeals case, the concept of “least restrictive setting” was introduced, requiring hospitals to discharge patients to an environment less restrictive than a hospital if at all possible [11]. In the 1975 case of O’Connor v. Donaldson, the U.S. Supreme Court declared that a person had to be a danger to him- or herself or to others for confinement to be constitutional

How about that island that's off limits to people. The one where the natives kill you the minute you pull up.

Massively cut back on homeless services and massively increase places for the mentally incompetent. Reduce welfare by 20% and use that for mental health buildings and services, as well as 24/7 access to judges/mental health professionals to speed up the process of removing those individuals from the streets and into good care.

The solution is not for us to find. The homeless have to come up with a solution themselves.

Asylums or prisons. That's about the only solution.

Also, the idea that cities can't police homeless camps and sidewalk dwellers is ridiculous.

They have zoning/ADA laws that can shut you down if your handicapped ramp is 1 inch too steep, but they can supposedly build a cardboard house on the sidewalk?

Don’t need one, not a problem where I live and I just don’t frequent places with lots of homelessness that isn’t hidden or unobtrusive.
