I believe it’s extremely obvious after giving homeless/mentally ill people free stuff including housing, more access to drugs, etc.… that the solution and humane thing to do is not give them more stuff. Give them a place where they can work toward getting clean.
Two words in my last statement are the problem: work and getting clean (off drugs). What do you do with people who refuse to do anything to help themselves and would rather lay down in the gutter and die than help themselves?

Give them a place to lie down and die and stop "saving" them. Just haul off the bodies

MSG Billy Brumfield - Maybe in our lifetime, definitely in our grandchildren's. Pray for them to have the experience and wisdom to clearly see what they are voting for.

I'm torn because the issue isn't simple. It's complex. I see solutions but having helped the Socal Homeless Vet issue first hand I witnessed some things that create massive obstacles.
Pro: Some folks just need services to get a foot up so they can move on to better surrounds.
Con: Some people don't want a conventional life and prefer a nomadic lifestyle. they'll use resources but they'll never conform. Some are limited either by mental or chemical means and they just don't fit into this service model.
Pro: The idea of creating programs is great
Con: It creates a business model and income revenue that incentivizes those managing the respective program not to fully resolve the issue. Look at LA. It's a Billion Dollar business to manage homelessness.
Pro: Creating a space for them to exist with services works in theory
Con: They potentially end up trashing the place and it just transfers the ongoing cycle

Now the population needs to consider everything you said so well and decide what will work. I've had homeless family members and I can tell you it is a very fine line between helping them and enabling them. You don't want to enable them.
