> would go about preserving a problem like homelessness

My state chose to outlaw homelessness [0] and to make it illegal for cities & counties to offer places to lawfully camp unless the campsites are basically enough to be KOA Campgrounds.

Actually solving homelessness is politically unacceptable, therefore it will be criminalized & preserved.

Notes:

0 - The crime is "unlawful camping".



That's just pushing the problem around. You aren't doing anything about the actual cause.


"KOA stands for Kampgrounds of America, the world's largest system of privately owned and franchised campgrounds"
