My idea was to create reservations for the truly homeless who aren’t insane. Let these reservations have the autonomy to create their own economies, let them govern themselves and just have enough official presence to keep the peace, investigate crimes and stuff.
Problem: The vast majority of homeless that I’ve seen tend to be mentally ill, or hopelessly addicted to alcohol or drugs.
They need professional help, giving them stuff will usually just keep them alive, and giving them their own Australia to build won’t work either, because they are mostly not in full control of themselves. Unfortunately that kind of help is extremely expensive and lengthy, with no guarantee of success.
A good chunk of the homeless do not want to be governed or live by the rules etc. That’s why a good portion of them are homeless in the first place.
I’m sure there are a few homeless who fit the profile protrayed on the “Sad Story of the Week” but very few...the rest do not WANT to be civilized...they like doing what they do and they get by with it....I have no sympathy...

I think 9 in 10 homeless are asocial people and insane to some level. Their lives are their choice, they aren’t capable of autonomy and self-govering and don’t really need it.
