If I had my druthers, a lawsuit would be brought to the Supreme Court, asking for a decision on the "no bed, no arrest" question. Eugene has far more low income people than it does low income housing, and so people should be able to set up their own housing if none is available. Lane County, an area the size of Connecticut, has no public shelter system. 
There are solutions, if public officials or cities were fined if they didn't find options for homeless people we all know the solutions would have been found yesterday. The city hall wouldn't have been razed, for instance, and it could have been used. 
Try finding an apartment for a low income person...they are incredibly hard to find.
If homeless and very low income people had a union they could vote as one and have some political power. As it is, they are the taken for granted by both political parties, they are mocked by those with options, and are hassled all about.
