In response to other children of this post: perhaps you can give more evidence as to how this solution would end up like the harsh imprisonment by oppressive regimes? Why do you instantly shoot down one of the only creative solutions in this entire discussion, other than trying to raise more money to throw at it (which clearly has not even begun to solve these problems).

This solution is basically just advocating putting all the homeless in one place without discussing how to actually fix anything once they are there (will there be houses and jobs for them?), which makes it sound like it will just be one big government mandated slum
Once they are there, the problem goes away.

Like, the issue of homelessness is really about how their presence impacts the rest of us.
