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?

What a groundbreaking idea! I'm sure that's never been tried before.

It's been tried by the USSR. You just bulid a small town of commieblocks 100ish km away from the city with basic amenities and everything, and transport them there, giving each a small residence. Alcoholics can't afford railroad tickets because vodka is cheaper. That's all.

Communism sounds so awesome, too bad the god of the universe wants humans to live in a capitalist society, so communism is bad.

Communism was so great that they had to put a big wall up to keep people from leaving.
