Hello all, RAZD, is right of course the problem exist and wont go away even it you hide it. My daughter at age 4 covered a ink stain on the carpet hoping we would not notice.
I also see Jon's view. It is a problem that affects the revenues of the city. But shipping them off to a separate area out of sight out of mind is a temp fix. If we house them they will come.
Ringo, I hear ya we cant keep the guys building our gated communities out forever.
Omnivous is right in that we lack the will. Most problems can not be fixed by throwing money at it.
But spending such a large chunk of our GDP on the Military Industrial complex seems like we could find some better solutions to the homeless issue. I dont say "problem" because believe it or not some homeless do not see it as a problem. We are the ones with a problem.
RAZD,
I think the teach a man to fish rather than just giving him a fish is maybe a better solution. Can we have a Peace Corp in the US?
