as far as the OP goes, "No compassion shown here by the OP"---I suspect that person would be willing to show some compassion, just NOT HERE
You are right, it can be demonstrated by efforts in the past, yet we will always hear compassioned suggestions, some more fanciful solutions than others all ignoring the "problem", that being the homeless themselves, they are not functional in the commonly understood term, yet legally sane, but not necessarily so, not necessarily safe and not sober if given any alternative, the problem is not lacking a way out, but the lack of willingness/ability to do so on the part of the chronically homeless
