Stay after class, Pablo.
A way to reduce homeless drug problem in my area?

Several of my Filipino friends have said neighbors would tell authorities that their neighbor was using drugs, just because they didn't like them. The accused had a choice of go to rehab even if they didn't use drugs, or die.
It is easier to ask for forgiveness than to ask for permission. So if we just make The Purge legal, our problems would go away?
Do you remember when there was no druggies on the street? Pepperridge Farms remembers.
And for just one of these distinctive Milano cookies, you can make it all go away.
Banning much anything same

Involuntary assignment of the mentally ill to hospitals, dry out centers, etc. It is NOT illegal, laws may need to be modified to allow this to happen which would involve lengthily court battle with organization who hate an orderly society.
- Involuntary commitment is legal only if specific legal criteria (mental illness + danger/disability) and procedures are met; it's illegal based solely on diagnosis or perceived need for help.
- The process requires proof of a diagnosed mental illness AND that the person poses an imminent danger to themselves or others, or is gravely disabled (unable to provide basic needs).
- Individuals facing commitment have constitutional due process rights, including notice, a court hearing, and the right to legal representation.
- The primary legal justification for involuntary commitment is preventing harm due to the illness meeting danger/disability standards, not just forcing treatment thought to be beneficial.
- Governed by state laws, this process (civil commitment) includes safeguards to protect individual liberty while allowing for necessary intervention in specific, severe cases.
Until they keep growing and then it'll no longer be "out of sight, out of mind".
Get rid of the supply of narcotics and crack. But that comes at a cost as well. I refrain from detailing what those costs might be out of fear of "repercussions".
Like I said. Out of sight. Out of mind.
Abscesses form this way. They start off as a small infection and grows to a size that now becomes noticeable. The way to get rid of an abscess is to hit it with antibiotics, DRAIN IT, and continue with antibiotics until the cavity is healed. Think Fournier's Gangrene as an extreme case. You cannot do that with humans because someone tried to do that 85 years ago and he ended up in a ditch in flames.

A place to clean up like indestructible un floodable restrooms to include hot water and soap ...... with a city agency to monitor any criminal activity
After that a way to get the ones who want help out of the situation with decent clothes and shoes ......
Nest step a job if able bodied
Aspire to get a vehicle ( to change the oil in
)
These are all choices you can't force upon people but it all starts with the ability to be clean and feel something positive

Yep.
Party!
I first came across that in Colorado on my way to RMNP, somewhere between Loveland and Denver, at 4am and I really needed to use the bathroom. A nice and clean Kum N Go (
) had their bathrooms locked to deter drug users. I didn't realize I stopped in a bad neighborhood.A large amount of the homeless in my area were bused from Los Angeles. That is how los Angeles deals with the problem.
Many of the homeless will tell you the story of being rounded up in Los Angeles and dropped off at the greyhound bus station @2a.

Any one ever witnessed the homeless near Honolulu? Miles and miles of beach completely ruined for public use. HI shipped them back to the mainland. Some of them had fat bank accounts. Paradise lost 
The way I see our homeless crowd in Dallas, until you completely remove the drug element, nothing with them will change.
The only solution I can envision is to change some laws around so that people's constitutional rights can be "altered" when they become homeless due to drug use and put them in a rehab facility until they're clean. Naturally, that'll never happen, and even if they did, a lot of drug users leave rehab and go straight to their dealers.
Unfortunately more people are going to have to die from overdoses or from violent crimes perpetrated by drug users before anything's really going to change. Tents, garbage, grocery carts and human feces have become the norm in the city. I live in a far northeast suburb of Dallas and and a few weeks ago we finally got our first street beggar. He's even become violent with a couple of people sitting at a traffic light, so I suppose the police have no idea what to do with him. I've seen them talking to him on the sidewalk, but he remains. Just 12 more years till retirement and I'm out of this cesspit.
