In some respects it is hard to argue
with the police moving in to clear the camps out. These people are
squatting on public lands and making some of them unusable by the
general public that should be able to enjoy them without fear.

But
that's hard to do when there are tents strung up and human feces
underfoot and people stumbling drunk coming out of the woods to accost
you as you jog or walk your dog. We have a right to expect a certain
level of safety in our neighborhoods, and while not all homeless are
scary lawbreakers, enough are addicts,

that our fears of them are not unfounded.
So the police move in and move these people out. But to where? We haven't increased funding for homeless shelters. We haven't identified low-income housing for which they might qualify. In fact, the list for low-income housing was closed not too long ago because there was simply not enough stock available. We don't have enough treatment facilities for either addiction or mental health services to move a significant number of these people out of the homeless population.

And jail is simply no answer unless we'd like to let out criminals with violent crime convictions to make room for the drunk who panhandles on your street corner.
I don't have an answer to this problem. I just know that chasing these people from one homeless camp to another solves nothing and seems to be a waste of precious police resources. As I follow the news about these camps, the question I keep asking myself is, "Where are we chasing them to? Where do we think they'll go?"
