That’s how we are where we are. Most can’t/won’t pass a piss test. And they’re not working, and they’re not starving either. They’re begging and getting by.Originally Posted by czgunner

Bus them all to the left coast then build a large wall to keep them there.
Next problem?

Don't discount a whole lot of "petty" crime. I have worked a lot of construction sites that were heavy with homeless. Urban freeways, bridges, and other civil stuff. I can tell you that begging is not the primary source of income for many of these folks.

Dude I deal with this every day at work. Unless we all agree to start violating civil rights, there is no solution.
There are many homeless that are truly mentally ill. But, at least around here, the VAST majority are on the streets because of drugs. Fentanyl has made the problem significantly worse. Currently a single "blue" fentanyl pill is 1 dollar in Phoenix. The price fluctuates depending on supply but it's rarely over 3 bucks a pill now a days. The potency of the drug coupled with the low price leaves us with zombies walking around the streets.
We have a really good program that will get them off the streets, addiction treatment, housing assistance, and help finding employment. Immediately. When we roll out with the program and go to the camps to offer it, maybe 1 in 30 will take us up on it. The others will flat out say that the high is worth the lifestyle.
It used to be when I caught a guy with meth he would say something dumb like "these aren't my pants". Find some blues on a guy, he will flat out admit they are his.

Yeah brah, you watch a cute but strung out teenage girl pull a train with a bunch of nasty old crackheads just to stay high and tell me all about freedom.

You are attempting to apply accountability to people who are completely alien to such ideas. They will simply steal more, sell more drugs and things like that.
It's hard to be a ACLU hating, philosophically Libertarian, socially liberal, fiscally conservative, scientifically grounded, agnostic, porn admiring gun owner who believes in self determination.

Kinda what I was thinking.

One of the reasons we left the PNW is because they continue to throw money at these people. They have only increased social welfare programs.
