I think part of the problem is that there is a certain percentage of homeless people that are just completely irredeemable.
Anyone that’s spent some time riding on the NYC subway can attest to this. No matter how much money you throw at them, they will keep begging or acting crazy.
Short of locking them up, what do you do with those people?
