Most of these people are homeless because of addition, period. Our streets have been flooded, by design, with fentanyl. This is the other problem with an open border - it's not just people coming in. These addicts spend any money they get on drugs. The problem is staggering - the number of drug addicted people who live in these camps. The rest are mentally ill. Oh, I forgot, it's cruel to keep the mentally ill in facilities. The answer is not affordable housing only. You have to have a job to afford to live in housing and these people's job is to score their next hit. The people who have to live and work next to these places are suffering because of the crime and the filth. C_A and China are to blame along with their minions in government - state and federal. They are trying to destroy our country from within on several fronts.
