The solution to this homeless problem is trivial.

There should be a law that makes it a requirement to have paid residency, confirmed accommodation, or a job to be in the city for more than a week. If not and you're caught there is a one way bus that you will have to get onto that ships you to a jail where they have to reside for a month.

This "jail" is actually a homeless zone outside of the city where homeless people are shipped too and given free food and shelter. They are also provided access to education and care and a dedicated team with the objective of data driven rehabilitation.

It's really this simple.

The reason why we aren't doing it is because the problem is made complex by all kinds of irrelevant issues. Do I want to live in a city thats covered in feces? or do I want to live in a city where I have all the freedom and right to use the city sidewalks as a public toilet?

Of course I prefer to have the right to take a dump where-ever I want and whenever I want. I have rights, this is America.

In singapore if you sell heroin. You're dead. Simple.
