The thing I see about this is that the city could have taken care of these ‘homeless’ by two simple methods. Pick up those who have job potential and help them write resumes and apply for jobs. The second method is to pack them up and move them to fairly inexpensive surroundings way outside of the city. There’s no reason to pay upscale prices for homeless people who have no real return to the city in terms of value. I see the same problem in Washington DC and NY City. The NY City crowd wants to shovel out $40k a year on people with no return value.
“The second method is to pack them up and move them to fairly inexpensive surroundings way outside of the city.”
That ought to really delight the people that live way outside of the city./s

Zero was way ahead of you …………………..
And don’t forget to add Honolulu to the list.
Yes, fix the problem by helping those that can work with jobs; institutionalize the others, else give them tickets to go somewhere else (e.g., to live by family). End result should be NO ONE living on the streets, camping out on public property. We need to reverse this trend to welcome them living on sidewalks and in parks, etc.
