I'm not going to respond to these arguments because you clearly are continuing to dehumanize homeless people, and thus are arguing in what I would consider bad faith. I will challenge you to think a bit outside of your current paradigms and realize that there is more to this than the solutions you have defined. We can do more as a society than just enforcing bylaws and institutionalizing the people at the margins. I agree that those solutions don't work, but then throwing up your hands and blaming everyone else might not be the solution. Do you want to complain, or do you want an equitable and just society for everyone who lives in it? Do you want to be right, or do you want the homeless to be housed?

>because you clearly are continuing to dehumanize homeless people That is a patently unfair statement and a gross mischaracterization of what I wrote. At no point did I even imply something of the sort. >I will challenge you to think a bit outside of your current paradigms Fair. And I challenge you to think a bit outside of YOUR current paradigms. The reality is that we are more OK with leaving our most vulnerable people to languish in the streets in filthy encampments than providing them with institutional care and I don't think that's moral.
