I believe the 'architects of the solution' should research which cities in the world who have had the most success finding the best outcome for the situation and should mirror that process here. Very easy for me to sit here and type this. The people who are legitimately working on this issue deserve encouragement and support. God Bless all the unfortunates as I will include them in my prayers. And please fellow Alaskans - when you see these homeless, addicted, or mentally challenged human beings, be kind to them.
