How do cities cope with their Homeless problems?
Cities with programs that service the homeless appear to attract more homeless people at the expense of taxpayers.

@CountScrofula The US doesn't have the support system and I doubt cities would fund the positions/programs needed to make it successful. It also helps that Medicine Hat is extremely cold in Winter.

@GarryToppins Well sure. But the point here is people need to get over the "programs for the homeless will attract homeless people" and just focus on getting them some houses and fixing the problem. Homelessness exists because it is allowed to exist, not because it's an impossible problem to address.
