My suggestion:

Each town with a homeless problem needs to designate / set aside a suitable area for homeless folk to set up camp; equip it with toilets, sinks and showers.

Have an employee present at all times to supervise.

The problem is WHERE to site it?

Old abandoned schools would work but neighborhoods would be in an uproar.

My suggestion: put it in a nonresidential area, and have the city provide regular shuttles from the typical homeless congregating points near the highways etc. so that the homeless have an opportunity to live a life outside of the camp, and so they can come and go from the town, as oft is their wont.

With that in place then sweep in and physically remove any other homeless camps / tents etc., and prohibit such in areas other than the designated city supervised homeless camp.

Criminalize overnight camping in any places other than in designated areas.

This should satisy the mandate laid down by the courts, so far as I can tell.


Sounds like you want to encourage homelessness. Do you want this in your neighborhood?

Good idea
I support it
No doubt it will be as tough to find a spot as it is to determine where a landfill is.
Hmm
Maybe by the landfill lol
Let's just make those neighbors more incensed.

Do you have a solution?
I hear a lot of complaining and it's real easy to complain
What should Portland do
Out of site out of mind like Springfield? Just push them off on to the neighboring town and let them deal with it.


I loved when Oscar Goodman way mayor of Las Vegas, he bought one way bus tickets for the homeless and sent them to California for a better life.

It's hard to regulate behavior like sleeping in public places. It's the same with people trying to throw the porn slappers off the Vegas sidewalks.

Something about Constitutional rights.
You believe in an invisible god, and dismiss people who say they are trans? Really?

People who give them stuff in the places where they aren't wanted are the ones who perpetuate the homeless being where they are. A lot of individuals, charities do that. It's nonsense.

I believe the Sea World method of training would work well for the homeless.

There's nothing actively punitive. The animal is simply ignored. Only when it is seen doing the required behavior is it rewarded. Or in complex behaviors, it is rewarded by doing one part of the behavior that is required for getting to the more complex action.

Last time on the strip
No porn slappers
Maybe covid has something to do with it
No social distancing in that business

Homeless people are already in my neighborhood.

My suggestion would get them out of it and away from any other neighborhoods.

Sorry AZD but as written the law currently does not allow you to shoot the homeless on sight, no bag limit.

Maybe if Trump wins ...

If no one gave them money for a week in the same spot...well, it's not complicated, IMO. Stop overthinking it.

It's not that simple.

They'd still be here, but perhaps not quite so visible.

Due to our failed mental health system and chronic drug use by many we now have this huge pimple on the face of the American Dream.

Do you just squeeze the zit or try to eliminate the acne altogether?
