I think it is exactly this conversation. If you want to pack up and ship the homeless out of your neighborhood you have a responsibility to do it in a humane way. You can't just send them all to asylums and pretend like what happens there isn't your responsibility when you were the one that wanted to put them there.

Why not just skip the middle man and propose dumping them in the desert? Sure they might all starve and die but thats a different conversation right, so not worth thinking about when proposing these actions.

Thats why an ACTUAL system is needed. They should ideally be rehabilitative and treatment oriented. Something better than screaming at people on the subway or burdening the ER system (I worked as security in a busy city ER for a while)
