Conservative estimates say that 5,500 homeless folks exist in Vegas, and it’s increasing by 100 a month.
My solution would be to fence in a compound area 10 miles north of town, and give the group a choice....either you live in the compound with minimum rations of food, or you get a $100 one-way bus ticket to any place in the US.
St. Petersburg, Florida was decaying from the center out. Dozens of abandoned buildings lined the main streets. The homeless were rampant and extremely aggressive in their panhandling. The city was trying to revitalize the center by inviting in artists and giving them free space and encouraging businesses to locate there. But the homeless made it unlikely that anyone who could go to a mall would ever shop there. For a while the cops would arrest the more aggressive homeless and take them to a remote booking location, “discover” they had nothing to hold them on and release them out the front door. The closest place to walk to was Clearwater, Florida. Clearwater sued and that was when I moved to Tallahassee so I don’t know how that suit turned out. However, when I visited St. Pete was a different place. The city center was THE PLACE to be and every shop was full of people. I asked a few people running businesses and they all said the same thing. There were still a few homeless but the policing was very aggressive. When the homeless saw a cop they disappeared into the nearest alley.
Send them back where they cane from.....(majority are likely from) California.
The ‘buss ticket out of town” was practiced by many cities for years.
Too many small towns caught on & protested that they ere getting inundated with undesirables.
I think it is a rotten practice-—but Obama did it on a major scale when he brought Somalis here. Just ask Minneapolis/St Paul & Boise.
