@TheCobbler,
Apparently they learned the lessons to be taught by San Francisco, eh?:
Quote:A civic disgrace--The reduction of homelessness to the extent humanly possible must be San Francisco’s No. 1 priority.
The level and pervasiveness of homelessness in San Francisco is a disgrace. It is simply not acceptable to allow people to stay in the squalor of tent encampments or sleep in doorways, parks and freeway underpasses without attention to the underlying issues that prevent them from attaining shelter and stability in their lives. It’s bad for public safety, bad for public health, and bad as a matter of basic humanity.
San Francisco has an entrenched Homeless Industrial Complex that is as difficult to track and control as it is to count people living on the streets. They too often become caught in a brutal cycle of jail stays, ambulance rides and emergency care. Some 1,500 chronically homeless people cost the city about $80,000 a year each; the figure rises to $150,000 for the 338 considered the most needy in the city’s public-health database.
It’s a waste of money, and a waste of lives.
It is neither inhumane nor “criminalizing poverty” to enforce laws against aggressive panhandling, tent encampments or defecation and urination in public places.

Frisco reaps what they sow from their cheese-eating policies, eh? When you know a City will spend $80,000-$150,000/year on you, you go straight to SF if you're homeless, eh? An very large segment of these bums are gays, who also come to SF to be "with their own kind." It's also a renowned "sanctuary city," which harbors criminal aliens. They hand out, free, needles for heroin use to every addict who wants them.
As a result, SF has the highest property crime rate in the country.
