That is pretty much the way Kansas City downtown library is. Just a bunch of bums sleeping on nice chairs...

I had a friend who worked in a "people's law office". They had so many homeless clients, they instituted a rule that clients had to be cold sober when they came to see a lawyer. The homeless clients all drifted away.
If you REALLY want to help the homeless, set up a shelter where they can drink and smoke. That's a realistic solution that the liberals will not allow. They believe if the shelter says "no drinking", the homeless will see the error of their ways and turn into productive members of society.

cities with particularly harsh measures that criminalize sleeping in public, begging or other behavior associated with homeless people bums.

In Broward County, Fla., a nonprofit agency has partnered with police to create outreach teams that, in five years, have placed more than 11,000 people in shelters while arrests of homeless people have declined.This is not the reputation we want here in Florida. I doubt that it's true, either.

That's exactly why I have never given any money to any panhandler.

Round them up and send them to Berzerkley.

Apparently, these people have forgotten the acts of Houstons citizens as a result of hurricane Katrina.
Houston will forever be remembered by me (and those with a grip on reality) as the city that opened its hearts,homes & wallets to sacrifice for those who became truly homeless.
Thank you Houston

If the Kennedy's didn't have the wealth that built that compound, they would ALL be homeless.

I totally agree with you. Our downtown is full of drunk/drugged ums looking for handouts or worse. All the do-gooders feed them in the middle of Downtown,(that incidently is trying to be revived.) I would run them out of downtown by giving them a basic cinderblock room and shower, Bus line, two meals a day and FAR AWAY FROM EVERYONE ELSE!

"Ken Hamlin suggests that we feed the homeless to the hungry and solve 2 problems simultaneously."
A modest proposal indeed. I like the way that guy thinks.
