Sadly, you are 100% correct.
Anyone who is under the delusion that they cannot set root here or on the edges of "the bubble" (which will effect the bubble) is completely delusional.
The more "help" that is extended, the more that will show up. Guaranteed. Its just how it is.
One only has to google / youtube search "homeless tent city" after typing in any given large city (San Francisco, CA., Portland, OR, Philly, PA, LA,CA, Seattle ,WA) the later of which we experienced 1st hand, to understand how fast and nearly insurmountable the problem can become, literally overnight, before anyone realizes it. This is to not even touch in the political aspect of it all, and the do-gooders that will sweep in to protect & harbor them, even if it goes against your rights, ,wishes or needs.

Also, it needs to be understood that there are "temporarily homeless" type (people just down on their luck who need/want help) and "career homeless" the later of which do not want help or cant/wont utilize any help provided due to lifelong drug/criminal/mental health issues and have no regard for the law, private property rights or anything else for that matter.
