    From what I’ve read, you need to really dilute the disruptive population before it affects local quality of life, which seems to only work if you distribute the homeless population across all of a country rather than localize them in locally impoverished areas.

    The problem is that most places with a functioning local community able to self organize will fight homeless institutions from being built because it potentially threatens the local order, which threatens quality of life, which threatens housing prices.

      Oh, I see what’s happening here. You misunderstood what I was saying initially. Probably my fault for not describing it properly.

      I didn’t mean condense the homeless population to certain cities or something like that that. I meant spots within municipalities. Like multiple spots.

        That’s covered in the last paragraph. Few people want these institutions built in their local communities and many places will fight the building of these shelters tooth and nail.
