Where the hell are these people supposed to go? Shelters don't let you stay there indefinitely. No one wants to give them the homes they can't afford or the mental health care they desperately need. Sorry, they're not just going to lay down in the middle of the street and die because that's not how anything works, so what exactly do the cities expect them to do?
