The most cost-effective way to help the homeless is to give them homes

Addressing housing directly is cheaper than relying on cops and emergency rooms.

    Work camps and enforcing the vagrancy laws is even cheaper

    And what do you do when after you've given the homeless a home they've turned it into a complete shit-hole drug den where they now have a place to turn tricks and do drugs all day. Give them a new place?

    For the ones who want help, yes. But speaking about Seattle, there's still far too many homeless folks who don't give a shit and will prefer their life of substance abuse and crime until forced to stop. Incarceration or forced treatment is the only viable solution for them.

    If you truly want help there's already assistance for you. All this will end up doing is giving the homeless homes that they will in short order turn into complete shit-holes. And how would you like to be the poor homeowner or property owner that had to live next door or near this human shit show.

    Do you really believe that someone who is so far around the bend they are shitting and fucking in the streets is going to be able to pull it enough together to take care of an apartment or house? These homeless homes would quickly make the more hellish public housing units look like an upscale suburb.

    Honestly they need a reality show where they take people like SFGbob and make them homeless. Then have them claw their way back into society.

    You know what we don't need, another bleeding heart liberal who loves to show how caring and compassionate he is by spending other people's money. You make me homeless, I'd be employed and back into housing in less than a week.

    Most people aren't Homeless just because they lack money and only idiotic liberals who don't really want to fix the problem believe they are.

    Its cost effective, so I'm actually conservative. Please don't assume my political affiliation.
