Not easy and certainly not cheap but just pushing these people to the next city/county/state does nothing to address the issue

From the posts here it would seem the people with the most experience and contact with the "homeless" see little hope in changing them, their mental problems/personality disorders are not reachable, "incentives" ? to my mind not living as they do is all the incentive one would need to do something other, what sort of incentives would you offer for simply taking care of yourself to the extent of not living a feral life ?
