You have a better idea?

I am not who I am without having better ideas.

As these ideas relate to homelessness, maybe?. But my ideas would be probably considered more draconian than are generally acceptable, primarily because they might butt right up against individual liberties.

For example, the entire drug component of homelessness. When I was homeless, it was entirely an economic issue, it started off as living in car homeless, and that didn't last a week, it being a bitch sleeping in a car. But there were no drugs involved, or crime, so I wasn't afraid of being kicked out of parking somewhere, I had money for food, the entire point was trying to SAVE money to move elsewhere.

I can see housing, similar to a dormitory that worked fine for college kids, 4 rooms on a common hall, common bathroom at the end. No drugs, no animals, a place to sleep, a fridge and hot plate for basic meals. No Taj Mahal needed.

The instant drugs and families and animals become involved it gets trickier. And once the minor drug users are in jail you'll need "bigger than a college dorm room" housing for families". And those might look more like the pictures posted, small self contained apartments.

And of course to pay for it I'm sure the oligarchs will happily raise taxes on all those making less than $100k/yr and require that construction of these new facilities are steered to their wholly owned affiliate businesses.
