Part of the solution there is to end government charity. You either have a job or you starve in an alley. This would cut down on the number of people smoking joints and drinking malt liquor while "working". As it is, we have such safety nets that a lot of people don't work when they work. They hang out. The jobs come, the jobs go. Government checks arrive. It's all good. Who really cares about anything??

If there were no support systems outside of churches, people would behave differently.

Charity is voluntary.

Government "charity" is done with "donations" extracted by force, fear and intimidation with the full weight of the government backing it up..
