Have you guys never traveled to other parts of the world? There are much worse homeless situations than is depicted in these articles. However, when the city dispersed the homeless camps down town, they scattered them across the area. The mentally ill and homeless don't choose to be the way they are. There by the Grace of God go I. We need to give them a place to go, provide means for sanitation and dignity (campgrounds with toilets and showers) and stop acting like we can just fix this by scattering them daily. Bangkok, Lima, New York, Chicago... these situations happen. Deal with it.
