The reason they won't "follow any rules" is because they're mentally ill. There's no easy answer, and saying "there's an easy answer, but it won't work for them" isn't actually an easy answer. Many of them are very mentally ill, and living under a bridge is not a choice they've made willingly. If someone's too mentally incapable of holding a job, or reading, or clothing themselves, then is it right that we force them under a bridge?
