They have the crust to continue to gut vital containment institutions like jails and prisons. Take away the ability for the state to account for how many people are here illegally, and to what degree they ARE using resources that aren't renewed efficiently or effectively. There is no end to their dumb ideas. It's no wonder a hemorrhoid like Trump, beat out the few Dem candidates for President. Biden insults black people on a chronic basis (especially with useless chuckle heads like Harris). And his mental acuity is seriously diminished. He and Trump both ARE too old and ridiculous to be running for ANY public office.

Architecturally, they need to get rid of lockable doors in restrooms etc. Make all restrooms accessible via an S-Curve that would block out passerby's views of the interior of the restroom and make sure that anyone looking to use that restroom can clearly see someone's lower legs under the partitions.. This would allow security and the police to do their jobs more efficiently.

A few years ago there was a great Agency that assist the Homeless Community. the people that worked there was kind and efficient with the sources that they had. They kept our family updated with my sister health. Mental illness is Real and hard to treat. especially when you’re mental and don’t have family that understand.

[@regand7830]

And that is why, most mentally ill, need to be institutionalized. Of course they can and should be humane places. But that's the ONLY way professionals can monitor and make sure there IS care. People have to be FORCED into it. Now with clinical diagnosis available, and factors like being gay, or having hormonal imbalances can't be used as a means of involuntarily putting someone in a mental hospital for permanent care, there is no reason to not have them at all. Clearly people with the most clinical issues, and addictions can't and won't fend for themselves in the safest way possible. I don't see how their advocates can argue that living in filth, hungry and sick with other infections and at risk of threat of violence, is better than a safe, clean hospital specific to their needs. This is the cost of their "personal freedoms" and clearly NOT worth the price. They'll be where their family can visit, and bring gifts and other support. If someone reaches a level of competence, then perhaps they can earn their keep with what skills they have. And each and EVERY state these people are from, should be shamed into doing the same. It's unfair and unsustainable that CA bears the burden of the entire country's and world's dysfunctional populations.

For example, if it is illegal to set up camp, the police should patrol every single night until the homeless give up that routine and therefore make more of an effort to use social services. As long as the homeless are enabled and never held accountable, they'll take advantage. We're not doing anyone any favors by letting them sleep anywhere. There are plenty of shelters that would let people sleep inside. Finally, why not give homeless people jobs... which entail cleaning up homeless encampments? Irony.
