Alot of these people are homeless because they're mentally ill. So this is essentially criminalizing being mentally ill.
This third world country setup already happening in L.A. and in the Bay. Massive homeless encampments a few blocks from 7 figure houses.
Also, America has made it next to impossible to escape homelessness once one has become homeless.
A shower, some medicine, some job interview clothes could go a long way to help some of these people, but that's next to impossible for someone under a bridge. Mental health could go a long way as well. Instead we just push them out sight.
Meanwhile we just gave how many billions to Ukraine?
It really baffles me why there's so little political will to help our own people in this country.
Homeless people, College students, older people, the sick, the poor, etc.
"""This is essentially a problem to be pushed onto accomodating states since there is no political will (no one wants the optics of being the bad guy putting people in mental institutions) to solve this at the national level. This is how it ends: The US becomes more like Brazil/India and more gated palaces next to miles of slums."""
