Especially Veterans homelessness which is the most "fixable" solution to your growing ire of living in a place that has had a homeless problem for at least 50 years. Also, I find it Ironic that you would move to a place that was formally skid row and expect it to be completely changed in less than 10 years.

Well said.
Also, this homeless problem is a national problem, not a city problem. Anyone who thinks that arresting everyone is a realistic solution is delusional.
