Maybe we need some sort of 'kibbutz' plan as a last resort for homeless people? (self.showerthoughts)

Give them places to live and teach them to grow food which will help pay for the whole thing. It may not work for all of them but maybe it would help 35% or so of them? That's a shitload more than we seem able to help now.

worth a try, but a lot are so mentally ill, they won't even show up or just destroy some stuff and run away. those with schizophrenia who are constantly flailing around at invisible things are the scariest IMO. you can't give those guys a shovel.

Perhaps helping them would improve the situation. Give them housing, voluntary treatment, and treat them like people, and you'll find they're just like you and me.
