I came here from Austin, which has an out of control homeless problem. They are constantly bulldozing homeless camps around the city, like whack-a-mole.

Some seem to just move on to the next spot, and some filter out into the woods where they are less likely to be seen. The city would implement symbolic solutions to help a tiny number of them, like converting unused storage facilities into temp shelter. Meanwhile, the residents are torn between "we have to help them" and "I don't want to see them everywhere I like going".

We live in a first world country and play with peoples' lives like they're insects. It's class warfare.
