The best way to fix the homeless problem would be to build large scale secure hospitals to treat the mental health issues and rehab. Anyone who wont go to rehab should be involuntary held and forced through rehab. If they return to drugs they should be kept in a secure facility indefinitely.
This sounds a lot like institutions. It appears that our government has embraced neoliberalism and privatization too much to ever backslide into operating institutions again.

You added this while I was replying.
Anyway, you are an ignorant and rude female. Attacking instead of discussing.
I take that to show that you, like many of your ilk, have no ideas or solutions... just the feral instinct to lash out and blame others.
Excellent engagement!

You have now moved from “the margins are by choice” to acknowledging that people in the midst of addiction or mental illness may be unable to choose wellbeing. Congratulations on understanding marginalization.
And Narcan, harm reduction and treatment are not mutually exclusive. Keeping someone alive today does not prevent treating them tomorrow. Your insistence that the only options are needles or indefinite coercion is not a serious policy suggestion.
Your suggestion of rounding people up and abandoning them somewhere sounds an awful lot like what is happening now, which is ironically what you're complaining about.

You don't like looking in mirrors?
You only stopped talking bad about me to other posters when I called you out on it. You're not a nice person and you want me to continue treating you like you are one when you've been an a-hole to me since you started posting here. You're one of those "I get along better with men" types. Total pick-me.

In my youth the names used to describe the "homeless" were derelict, bum, and neer do wells.

No one "marginalized" them. That's the distinction.

Yet, you offer no third idea. None of you ever do. There's the harm reduction camp and the involuntary treatment camp. Neither is perfect, but one does at least proffer the possibility of a lasting solution.

Wrong.
A place set aside for people that wish not to engage in society is rather humane. It is not incarceration nor is it forced treatment. It is the freedom for them to live on their own terms while not causing issues for society. It IS the third way.
A third option I've given... while you're still stuck in binary option land.

And my other hostile shadow troll stops by to lend his support to someone else who is hostile towards me. What a plot twist.
Posted on 7/31/26 at 10:44 am to 4cubbies
The only plot twist will be you actually admitting you were wrong

Let's dissect this.
I was rude to you, or about you... you rightfully cried foul... and, as you admit, I stopped. Pretty much immediately in fact.
Tell me, where did I go wrong?
Was I supposed to keep being an arse towards you? I thought you didn't like that?
quote:

I don't much care how you treat me... unlike yourself, I didn’t wrap myself in perpetual offense and cry foul. You can post however you like- that's between you, Jesus, and the moderators.

No one "marginalized" them. That's the distinction.

Yet, you offer no third idea. None of you ever do.
And you're calling this humane, correct?
Posted on 7/31/26 at 10:54 am to 4cubbies
Hostile!

Where did I say this?
Biblically speaking, Cities of Refuge were outside of but near enough to population centers. Which is what I've advocated for in the past.
quote:

In contrast to incarceration or involuntary treatment, yes. Leaving them living on the streets as is, is no solution.
Again, I am waiting to hear your ideas.
All you've managed thus far is to fling insults and purposefully mistake my ideas.

3-D printed home looks like a rest stop bathroom.
Neal Boortz nailed it best by calling them urban outdoorsmen.

Pretty much immediately in fact.

I'm not crying foul. I'm stating facts that reveal the kind of person you actually are.
