"If they are not employed, the relocation shouldn't be the end of the world."

Are you serious?
Homelessness isn't simply living on the streets. There are countless other factors that come so strongly into play. I suggest you take a nice stroll through Hastings, and you'll surely see that these people are suffering with much more then sleeping discomfort.

Many are lethally addicted to drugs, and before you can think that all addicts are bad people, consider what circumstances they may have been in that led to this life for them.

Due to closure of mental health institutes, helpless people were tossed to the streets to fend for themselves, being mentally ill, that's no easy task.

I can only imagine the oppressive and challenging fight they must endure everyday.Not to mention some living with physical disablities or the elderly.

All these people laden with horrors of death,thievery,rape,mnemonia,...this tragic list can go on forever.

That being said, how can one expect the handicapped,the insane,or simply the elderly to pick up there meager belongings from the sidewalk and skip off to another city?
Even if by some miracle this is possible, the issue of homelessness remains unsolved..instead it's to become a travelling concern. The solution is not to put them on wheels, but to shelter with roofs, to feed with meals, to heal with medicine, and most of all...help with compassion.

Of course, not everyone can be saved, not everyone wants to be saved and maybe some don't deserve it. But people are people no matter where they reside, and everyone deserves the chance.

I must say, the attitudes and approach that i see towards social issues like these are appalling. Being a teenager, it is frightening to me the detachment exeplified by some adults and the lack of responsibility on our governments part is pathetic.

It's time to stop walking around the homeless, and start walking with them.
