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?

Yep, America’s plan for addressing the homeless is just “move along”

"Why don't we just take the homeless... and push them somewhere else?!"

That's what I wish they would do at a minimum. They built a really nice walkway all across the Jordan River in SLC. You don't want to enjoy the result of what our taxes paid for because it's packed with homeless and drug dealers. Same shit with public parks, they are disgusting and instead of doing something about it, they let them stay and simply weld the public bathrooms shut that were originally for the general public in the first place.
