[quote=Anonymous]I think cities should permit encampments in specific areas, and provide some minimal health & safety services. The difficulty is preventing them from turning into open-air drug markets, so they also have to be policed. With this approach, encampments on public right-of-ways like sidewalks can be banned, and people who chose to live in an encampment can do so. Legally, you can't actually force people to live in shelters. As in Seattle: https://www.seattle.gov/homelessness/city-permitted-villages [/quote]
