Sorry, but 99% of homelessness is disgusting and shameful. Homeless people shouldn't be in a first world nation's city parks, period, and it's important for everyone to contribute to doing something rather than complain about it and make cheap PR. I support the fine in this case, but I also support better and more extensive use of taxpayer money to actually set up better management of this kind of thing - there's lots of good, working models for this around the world.
The government tried a little program called government housing. The tenants turned them into grassless slums rife with crime. Many of the buildings have since been torn down and no new ones were built. It might have been better to house these people in FEMA trailer parks. They have lots of trailers just sitting in a field somewhere. There's also much that could be done to house the homeless using shipping containers. Right Neal? Or we could send them to district 9.

I'll be fine as long as nobody tries to steal my refrigerator box and my Wal-Mart shopping cart.
