The only way to "fix" homeless locally is to make local so terrible that people leave.

SF attracts homeless people because it's a better place to live than most other places.

Fixing homelessness requires a national solution or internal borders.

It's easier than that. Give people homes.
Half the US wants to attach drug-testing and proof of job seeking to food stamps. The true solve for homelessness is unconditional money/housing.

As long as the possibility that 5% of participants will take advantage of the program, the program is doomed.

Can the homes be in North Dakota?
