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?

All the good "christians" just want them out of sight. Far, far away.

Why are Christians always the only group mentioned? I don't disagree that many so-called Christians act anything but Christian like, but that's the same for all religions. Check out Lakewood, NJ where the Jewish community cut down all the trees so the homeless people wouldn't hang out in the shade. People of all kinds suck.

Well, Jesus in the Bible explicitly tells his followers to help the needy so it's noteworthy that most refuse to. Also, something evangelical churches in red states do is buy homeless people in their community a one-way bus ticket to California as a form of weaponized "charity." There's a reason for the expression "There's no hate quite like Christian love."

Every church around me has a food and clothing pantry, availableto the local community, no questions asked. I definitely appreciated it in my time of need, and donate to them now when I can.
