There actually is money to be made fixing mental illness and homeless.

Skimmed it because I’m about to go on a hike, and I don’t think it would ever fly in America

America is big on freedoms and forcing someone to live where you want them to live (putting all other things aside) is never going to happen. Organizations like the ACLU would whine and say you are criminalizing homelessness, and no matter how nice the setting, the ACLU would call it concentration camps or internment camps to be provocative. Liberal lawyers would sue, and whatever law or policy was put in place to create your system would be overturned

The only chance you might have is only going after the homeless that commit serious crimes, since then judges would be slightly more willing to take away their freedom as a penalty

America is never going to stop embracing allowing people to slowly kill themselves with hard drugs in the street. Take comfort that as long as you can keep a healthy routine and a social support system it won’t happen to you
