No, 'Give Them All Bikes' Is Not A Solution, Either
-
We have no shortage of stories like this one about a mile-long homeless camp on a Sonoma County bike trail; the homeless are, in some areas of the U.S., everywhere, and bike trails and greenways are often lined with homeless people's tents. It's a shame and it's horrible and we can point fingers at politicians all we want, but maybe now is the time to answer some of these questions ourselves: What CAN be done? It's easy to just say "something should be done," but what? Because nobody seems to have any good ideas how to deal with mental illness and unwilling patients, drug addiction, and the tiny problem of where the homeless can go when there's not enough safe shelter space and no neighborhood wants those shelters anyway.
