How does this help the homeless person? I have a homeless neighbor I help out a bit, but there's only so much I can do, I don't have many resources of my own. He's 70-something, has cataracts and glaucoma, can barely walk, and has his stuff split between a car and a tent. The county helps him out with some things but it's band-aid levels of assistance when he should be in an assisted living facility. I'm not sure how much more deserving he has to be to get some meaningful help. The idea that making it harder to be homeless will somehow cause people to pull themselves up by their bootstraps assumes that they can afford boots and have sufficient strength to pull on them, so to speak. A lot of homeless people are at rock bottom and need something more comprehensive than a cot and a hot dinner.
