The only places one should invest in at this time are areas willing to use force if needed to protect private property remove street people.
The police are ready to move these people out, it’s the political will to allow them. Many of the small business and home owners are at the point they are going to protect themselves and property.
I know of one small business owner who caught a couple in his business storage area upstairs. He threw down on them with his Glock and was ready to kill both of the homeless and ran them off and they haven’t returned. Heroin is now hitting this small town and I look for shootings to start occurring more frequently as the average person has had enough of the homeless scourge. When in the middle of January you hear a noise under your house and call the police and they find one or two homeless who have opened the crawl space and moved in to stay warm, that crosses a line. They would rather freeze and starve just for one more hit of their drug of choice. No sympathy, none. I have seen relatives go down this road and until they hit rock bottom you can’t be nice to them, they will abuse you.
