Some dude in Ballard gets car prowled and chases down the vagrant that robbed him. The camp nearby gets cleared and nobody in it accepts services. Rinse and repeat.

Sure, here it is in slightly more detail. It is the only issue I would run on.

-make sleeping outside inside the city limits illegal -violators have a choice of accepting shelter housing, or go to jail -those that chose jail would be incarcerated into the system -once in the system they will get food, housing, mental help, and time to clean up or decide they want to be part of society again -while there they have full access to all the benefits we can cram down their throat -those that conform to the bare minimum of societal requirements (not sleeping outside, bathing once in a while, not shitting yourself, not a heroin zombie, some sort of job) are released into their new situation, and their records expunged, and all the services can follow them to make sure they are doing better.

Homelessness is a symptom, not a disease. It is a symptom of mental health (addiction falls in here), physical health, or desire. This addresses the first two handily, and those that just desire "to have the freedom of not being held down by the boot of the man" can go fuck themselves in a different town.

yes, my plan is expensive, but so is all the money we spend now with very little results.
