Auswitzian ramifications
A wee bit brown-shirty.
Seems like you drank the Kool-Aid regarding the lies about 1930's Germany.
But back to your main point ...
I think you are trying to play king and being way too detailed in your ideas.
My primary point is this: NOBODY has the RIGHT to abuse everyone else in society by degrading the area (city) into a complete shithole that everyone must deal with.
I don't care if they are drug addicts or mentally insane or just plain lazy. Makes no difference to me, they don't have a RIGHT to do it.
- The camps should be constructed in a regimental fashion
There would need to be some sort of organization to the effort, but not to the extent you are wanting.
When Sheriff Arpaio had enough of the criminals in Arizona, he simply set up an outdoor desert camp to house them in. That is all that is needed, along with heat, food, toilets, ability to clean clothes, and maybe companies in the city sending their people to interview and hire those who want to work.
Busses into the city to go to their documented jobs.
When they are on their feet, they can find an apartment in the city and go back to normal life.
That is for the homeless who are just down on their luck and need a helping hand for a time.
But there are also lazy bastards, drunks, drug addicts, mentally unstable, and downright troublemakers who won't want to go along with that program.
So, I suggest a total ban on all drugs, including alcohol, in the tent city. Those who sneak it in anyway can go to the "other encampment" which is an outdoor prison (like Arpaio had), for the purpose of giving them time to get sober. Once sober, they can return to the homeless camp.
Those who have mental problems could be given psych help, including drugs, if necessary, and get back into normal society.
Those who are troublemakers will end up in prison.
Those who are really, really lazy will just hang out, get "free" food, live in a tent, no booze or drugs, and if that's what they want, then stay there. Sooner or later, they will probably decide to pick themselves up and get on with life. But if not, they are at least "out there" and not causing problems for the rest of us.
People found sleeping in public (in the city) can either (a) be cited and move on, or (b) get arrested, spend the night in jail, and then moved out to the tent city. Those who were cited and found again, will go the route of (b).
We need to stop with the weak, pathetic enabling of these people who are causing the rest of us problems.
There are no great solutions because THEY refuse to DO the things that would solve the problems.
So if they won't, then we will.
BTW ...
If a person wants to sleep all day, get high, fuck around and do nothing with their time -- AND they have the financial resources (money, housing they pay for or their family/friend pays for) -- then they have the right to do it.
But they do NOT have the right to just sleep in the public streets and parks, causing problems for everyone else. THOSE are the people I am talking about above.
