Where are the homeless supposed to go?

[u/Garey_Coleman]

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?

It is an interesting take to say that mentally ill people don't belong in a facility receiving treatment and that they are better off on the street fending for themselves. Understandably there have been times in our history where the institutional model was a failed one, but the current "just leave them alone and let the congregate anywhere" model seems quite cruel. Especially in colder climates. This topic needs some real examination...not just feel good "leave them alone" platitudes.
