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?

Or give them land where they can sleep, have it guarded by police and provide showers. 

So many people - if they’re just given a place to sleep and shower- will work and get small apartments and no longer be homeless. 

It isn’t that hard to solve. I don’t know why we don’t do it.

You clearly never interact with homeless people if you think that'll solve anything. Give them a place to sleep and shower and it'll be a trashed drug den in a matter of days

Commit to a time to be online and answer a question in less than a minute. We will see how much time you spend with homeless people.

Let’s work out a time that we can both be online and I can ask you a couple questions that you answer immediately. 

Everyone who sees the answers will know how much time you spend with homeless people. 

Want to do it?
