Doing nothing for the homeless is like throwing water on a drowning man.

Tearing down their temporary housing is like holding their head under water.

Creating that kind of temporary housing for the homeless is like throwing 50 other people in the water with the drowning man; he might drown slower by pushing another person down or vice versa, but either way there are now more drowning people and it's much harder to save any of them.

Your analogy is shit. No need for creating, they were already done, without harming others.

Did you even watch the OP video?

If you want solutions, de-regulate (stop strangling) the people, and regulate the ruling class.

What part of "giving the homeless tiny individual private huts in a designated area will quickly turn that area into a dense uncontrolled slum filled with trash, drugs, and prostitution, and that will create 1000x more issues and anger when it eventually needs to be disbanded" are you struggling with

Whether that's even true or not, we will never know because that experiment has been prematurely rejectulated.

Unless you have a better solution that helps the homeless, helps society, or both, all you've argued for is to keep the homeless down because of who they are as a group, when actually they consist of many groups with diverse different issues that got them in that predicament.
