Oh look, it's finally politically expedient to solve that problem they caused.

iol the homelessness crisis in America isn't going to go away because you remove camps, they'll just keep popping back up until a real solution is found.
realistically maybe 20% of hobos can be helped. I'm all for helping people that are just down on their luck, but the psycho drug addict hobos that are too mentally ill to be helped need to be sent to holding facilities and kept there until they're better or die of old age.

While I agree with this, we both know this isn't the liberal playbook at all. Most libs scoff at the thought of effectively stripping somebody of their rights ""just"" because they demonstrate over and over that they can't participate in society.
I think vagrancy should be made illegal again. Not necessarily to throw all of them in jail or prison, but to provide the legal impetus to forcibly institutionalizing them. It'll be expensive, I'm aware, but it's realistically the only way to actually "solve" the problem, or at least remove the most troublesome symptoms.

We don't build housing for the poorest, shittiest portions of humanity anymore. Cities used to be full of projects and dormitory-style flophouses (think halfway between a motel and an apartment) that went against every building code and were some of the most miserable places on earth, but were still better than the streets. They need to be building more apartments that look like Charlie and Frank's from Always Sunny, not these straggy boxy condos. At least that way people can OD in private and not in front of a daycare.
Either that or just bring back full on serfdom for the homeless. I want to have my lands tended to by junkies that I pay in salt, flour, and heroin and force to larp as medieval peasants![:marseypoor: :marseypoor:](https://i.rdrama.net/e/marseypoor.webp)

I would guess way more people are open to this now than ever before. The only people still defending the hobos are the wealthy whites that don't live around them and have some fantasy perception of hobos being normal people that are simply down on their luck.

The problem isn't that there's homeless. The problem is that it is an attractive lifestyle for young drug addicts and they have free reign in some cities. Constantly harassing them until they hide solves both of those problems.
