Agreed, I meant something more like instead of having one central location that provides food, medical care, housing assistance, etc. for 1000 people, build 20 of them spread out that can each serve 50.

Obviously the numbers aren't representative, but having smaller support centers to provide all of the necessary resources is what we should aim for.

That's why the state should enforce a minimum amount of housing for homeless people in every major town and city.

The only reason that homeless people congregate at Mass/Cass is because that's where all the support services are. If they were instead spread out all over boston along with a decent amount of housing, then you wouldn't run into the problems that come with a huge encampment of homeless people.

Extending the logic, if Dorchester is the only place with this kind of housing initiative then it's going to run into problems, but with mandatory minimums spread out over the state then no individual neighborhood will run into problems so severe that they can't deal with them.

Could be the BofA credit as well. Lots of stuff going out this time of year.
