What should they do? Give them free money, health care, food, needles, and contraception?
Give them a one-way ticket to Streisand's house, or any other Dem for that matter.
Or better yet, let each activist for these homeless people lead by example, and welcome one or two of these destitutes into their own home.
LOL....I know it would never happen.
There is a solution. Make some laws and enforce them, locking up the culprits for a stretch. (Of course we have to first keep the ACLU at bay.)
Sounds expensive? Not really, when you look at the cost to society for the current state of affairs. If the homeless get arrested for loitering, panhandling, etc., then a portion of them will find arrest distasteful and either move on or try to improve their lot by working a job. And the ones incarcerated will get medical treatment, job training and food (which sounds like a solution to me). In this manner, all the various homeless schemes in place now can be consolidated under a single management umbrella, in controlled facilities.
Believe me, many millions are spent in this city (San Francisco) on homeless programs every year yet the problem continues to grow.
