A job can no longer pay for a place to live, it's just that simple

Neither can social security. Seniors and disabled are the largest growing demographic and most pay taxes - but because they are homeless, they aren't the "public" anymore? Same with vets. The mentally ill are just the most visible.

If you criminalize homelessness then you at the same time must make having a piece of land a right

If they have the same corrupt officers on duty, the department Is not materially different.

How to stop homeless issue in America: Step 1: Fund 1 billion into a homeless sanctuary instead of wasting into an infinite cycle. Step 2: Allow homeless to prove homeless and proper evaluation and diagnostics. Step 3: Hire guards. Step 4: Employ the homeless to work very little work to ensure rights to stay at the sanctuary. Step 5: They get paid for their labor and get to buy their own food at the sanctuary. Step 6: When they are ready, they get drafted to a job back in normal society from the sanctuary, like fast-trip or something. Step 7: New law in which allows peacemakers to legally find a homeless person detain them and transport optionally any or all homeless to the sanctuary to start the new world homeless system. Step 8: Reminder the sanctuary must profit and make more money than they invest into the homeless, to proceed lifespan longevity of the homeless sanctuary systematic, thus approach. Step 9: Consider the possibility of the outdoor homeless sanctuary as a profitable manufacturing source, to ensure that what the homeless are working for is going to be sold, to then allow the homeless sanctuary and all homeless employees receive income. step 10: TL;DR, Basically IF a "Homeless Shelter" was able to gain profit by the homeless working inside it somehow, whether it be manufacturing or some other PROFITABLE Labor, If they complete everything they need to do, they can choose to stay and work. Or they can they can leave whenever they want. Step 11: Please understand that If someone has made over a certain amount of income in the last 3 years and already work in society they wont be accepted or able to register or apply. Homeless resident in the sanctuary shall be permitted to make purchases in the sanctuary like food they have a place to sleep there too. They can buy clothes utensils body health things, this could also be RETURNED PROFIT. I believe the united states can do this. You rock government of the U.S, I'm just trying to help. you guys could possibly consider. One last thing, even it could be a bus lines profit too, and beneficial to the homeless current or future resident of the sanctuary. They could work in a farm job in the sanctuary and they wouldn't have to worry about food as it would be growing right IN front of them over time. Field farmers make good money too, so this is also a possible benefit. Overview: A billion dollars could indeed fund a homeless sanctuary, and potentially much more. The extent to which it could help depends on several factors, including the scope and scale of the sanctuary, the cost of living in the area, and the efficiency of the management.

Maybe if the police weren’t so overwhelmed by the huge amount of new “residents” things would be different.

Hey stupid, none of that justifies it. Attrition is more to blame. You could just look it up.

Yup

Every major city has experienced growth in homeless equal to the lack of available housing. Rents go up 30%, homeless increases 30%. The report was data based.

Shelters are just as bad, they treat homeless people like prisoners, The rules are so strict You have to be perfect to stay in some of these shelters or you get kicked out of them too.

Best practice is housing first. Becoming homeless will exacerbate every tendency a person has for mental illness and addiction is often a form of self medication. Everyone has a tendency towards something; OCD, depression, borderline, etc when stressed.

Just out of curiosity do you watch the news? It's public knowledge that rents were artificially inflated using a program called RealPage. The attorney general has filed a lawsuit against them.
