I don't like the idea of building a specific block of houses or apartments for homeless individuals. I think it would work better if they were spread out and integrated into established neighborhoods. Concentrating people together who have mental health issues and who struggle with addiction is a recipe for more of the same.

​

Edit: I assume the downvotes are from folks who promote segregation.

Nationally I've seen decent neighborhoods object to section 8 or affordable apartments being built close to "their" neighborhood. Meaning yeah build it but not over here. The same people never help find the other place. When people say NIMBY this is what I think of.

I'm not sure why folks are in favor of segregation.

Because they view them (homeless people) as being different and a part of their group.
