    So wouldn't logic suggest that to get rid of the danger posed by poor desperate homeless people you should kill them all?’

    @Patricio Da Silva How can this problem ever be solved if cities are at the point where they need to use public facilities to house foreign invaders while our homeless citizens rot on the street?
    Why haven't those dwellings been offered to the homeless?
    Your party caused this problem, how do you propose to fix it?

    Nope.

    Controlling where homeless people live does not equate in any way to wanting to kill them as you are bogusly trying to imply. That is a ridiculous suggestion, and nobody (other than you of course) has implied anything of the sort.

    I guess you would rather I propose such an action because it is far easier to argue against than reasoned logic huh? You so desperately want to argue against bombacity that you have resorted to trying to put it into my mouth.

    So, to be blunt - if you think there should be no restrictions or regulation of homeless people camping and don't have a colony on your front law your a hypocrite.

    You are the person who suggested the use of 'logic'.
    So what is your solution that is logical every step of the way, and doesn't depend on the use of any kind of emotion?

    My solution is to overturn this preposterous 9th Circuit court ruling that calls it cruel and unusual to control where people "camp"

    This is not that difficult. It will clearly be overturned and the status quo will rule the day. Communities have every right and even the duty to control the public health aspect of this problem, and that is as simple as keeping it away from the public. Leave them alone when keeping to themselves under overpasses and the like and stop them from setting up camp on crowded community property such as heavily trafficked downtown areas.

    This is a logical solution that has been in place since the founding of this nation and only recently has it been a problem because of this nonsensical liberal 9th circuit court ruling that will thankfully finally be overturned.

    Killing them is not logical and nobody but you is suggesting as much.

    And how do you stop people sleeping where you don’t like it?

    Homelessness has been with mankind since the dawn of civilization.

    There will always be a percentage of the population who are unable to cope with the struggles of life.

    Like crime, the best that can be done is try to put a dent in it, and any solution to other of these, ahs to be done in a robust, well thought out, plan of attack from many angles, by both the private and public sectors, by thoughtful and caring people.

    There is no magic bullet.

    Bernie Sanders idea is to gaurantee a job for anyone that wants it, but even if that were the policy, there will still be folks that won't want to work, not because they don't want to, but are so far in the 'lost soul' department they can barely function. Have you ever been to skid row and tried to talk so some of those people, then you'll know why most of them are unemployable.
