> There are, in fact, other solutions to homeless encampments... Seriously, every time I read something like this I wish I was truly rich. I'd hand whymauri a billion dollars and let them loose on the homeless problem. The postmortem on the crash 'n burn would be a priceless thing to listen to down at the men's club.

  This is just a personal take but * House the ones that are functional/capable of taking care of themselves to an extent * Mandatory rehab for the ones are strung out pm debilitating opiates * Asylum for the ones are mentally disabled.

      Are you saying the homeless don't have these issues?

      There is a subset, no matter how small, that has lost control due to their drug habits and they need to get on their feet. Drug habits can grow beyond anyone's strength to beat and the best way to combat that is through a rehab program that prevents you from stopping the process. Drug addiction runs in my family and we had to do the same for my uncle. Several weeks of keeping him on a short leash impacted the rest of his life and he was able to take care of his family unlike before. It's not pleasant and it requires a tremendous amount of willpower and people under that spell need every bit of help that can get.
