We have the solution and it’s not very hard. Have social workers maintain these areas. It’s really not that expensive, employs people, builds important social vibe and allows you to have your benches.
It’s a solved problem.
Social workers in the area and neighbourhood police would defintly help and do more good than anti-homeless desasters. But I don’t think it solves the drug , alcohol and mental-health neglect problem. There has to be more societal work done for that, you won’t solve that in situ.
The day when USSA reinvents USR Militsiya is near.
At this point (in the US), I would never trust the police to do this correctly. We’d need an entirely new type of public servant. Which I’m all for. Then maybe we can slowly phase police out until they only exist for extreme cases.
