This is akin to putting out food for the three starving squirrels in your yard and wondering why there are eight squirrels out there the next morning.
Madison went from a wonderful place to live to the shit hole it has become, aided and abetted by the radicalization of the University of Wisconsin.
Madison was apparently the blueprint used for Dubuque, IA ("Madison on the Mississippi"), but DBQ opted for families with loads of Illinois drug dealers.
Part of my father’s family lived in Madison for many years.
My cousin, after a divorce, became a single mom with four young children. She received AFC money (American Families with Children) and other benefits. She also worked off the books and had a lower middle class lifestyle. In the 1960’s Wisconsin had some of the largest AFC payments in the country. People from Minnesota moved there.

A 2000 year old solution was to teach a man to fish.
A mouse has a machine in front of them.
When they press the black button they get an electric shock.
When they press the white button they get food.
The mouse then keeps pushing the white button.
That is racism.
Good point, but you left out the unions.
They have to give the homeless people an address so they can register and vote for more funding down the rat hole.
Once more, name anything the gooberment has done that makes things better or cost less. Just one. Anyone?
Homeless programs are nothing more than handouts to democrat politicians and their cronies. The programs are designed to fail and perpetuate the problem. Pro business capitalism followed with a support for Christianity is the cure for homelessness. But then bureaucrats would have to admit they are failures at everything they do so it will never happen.
Being homeless is not a cause it’s a symptom - mostly of drug abuse enabled, and even funded, by government.
It seems simple no tents no sleeping in parks or sidewalks no shitting in public. But rewarding bad behavior is the essence of being a dem
