Homeless migration to RVs creating problems
There seems to be a trend for the homeless to get an old RV and live on the streets. County officials admit their hands are are tied as they do not have proper laws in place to deal with the problem....

Still no solutions.
To me this quote:
The homeless problem began in the late 70's early 80's when the ACLU sued several states and eventually petitioned the supreme court to rule on whether or not it was unconstitutional to keep someone against their will in mental institutions, providing they were not a threat to themselves or others.
Is spot on for the root cause of our problem today. I came into adulthood in the 70’s in a big city and watched it happen firsthand when Philadelphia had to empty Byberry State Hospital. Keeping someone against their will has become practically impossible, even for potentially life prolonging drug intervention.
Society simply won’t allow the rest of society to correct the problem in the near term, I think it will take a generation.
