I used to think the homeless problem could not be solved.

That view changed one day back in the 1990s.

Bill Clinton was visiting the local city (which had homeless on _every_ corner).

In the twenty four hours before his visit they all disappeared—like magic.

The point—if city leadership wants to fix the problem they will fix the problem.

Interesting. Now here’s the big question. What were the streets like twenty four hours after Clinton’s visit? Because I wonder if the cops just didn’t (temporarily) move the homeless to a part of town where Clinton was sure not to visit.

Sort of like squeezing a balloon. As soon as you let go, the balloon reverts back to its former shape.
