Yes. Many see more fit for a long term facility of care (which I think the liberals made illegal?--which they often blame on Reagan.). It seems time to reinstitute these persons that need that sort of care and seems more humane than them having to live hand to mouth unattended. Then there is the drug and alcohol group. Then there are the just lost and find it easier to live in this beautiful place instead of moving to a more affordable area and start small with a basic level job and low cost housing.

The liberals have made an honest conversation about all of these people basically full of political speak. It is nearly impossible to look and study this population and discuss them with any true objectivity to find solid, long term solutions. (oh yeah and I forgot about the illegals I CA--another population). But also on our side (I know for me I do this) we have a tendency to just say get a job or see it as a illegal immigration issue or a combo there of. And that is too simplistic as well. But that is just some of us.

I also believe liberals have also tied the hands of churches that used to help as well. By placing restrictions on them.

I don’t say or think “get a job” ‘cuz I don’t think they can really do one. Many of them can’t even tolerate the rules required for a shelter.
Housing them might be the equivalent of jailing them. They would be confined under rules they don’t like and don’t want to follow.
I do think that turning private and religious charity on to the problem is probably the best way to find some sort of workable solution. I also think that the regulations on this were designed to prevent a solution.
