Here's the problem with homelessness. If places stop spending, homeless people tend to leave. They go to where there are more services to support them. If you spend more on homelessness, you will attract more of the homeless. It's kind of a catch-22. The only way to really fight the problem effectively is attacking the root causes, which is very hard for a city to do. It's a problem that needs to be addressed nationwide. It involves drug treatment, mental health treatment, modifications to welfare and public assistance.
