Where are the homeless supposed to go?

Cities have been cracking down on homeless people so they can’t have encampments or stay on sidewalks. At the same time usually the shelters are full. So those who are unable to get into a shelter, where are they supposed to go?

I was talking to a hotel barista who was a conspiracy buff, and she suggested that the government was trying to kill them with fentanyl, and honestly after the crack epidemic in black neighborhoods in the 80s, I can't say it would be beneath them.

Would be more cost effective than rehabilitation.

Wow. That actually makes sense. I can see that happening.

The way that in other countries, bags of grain being distributed to the hungry are being mixed with narcotic powder, to get rid of them.
