...deal with this problem in a humane and effective way...

Which problem exactly? Where the homeless sleep or the fact that they exist? Most municipal solutions I've seen to the former problem are repulsively violent, while it isn't clear that the latter "problem" has solutions.

I'm advocating help for those who want it. Skid Row is all the evidence you should need that policymakers in LA don't care about homeless people.
