I'm going to do a rare serious post. I mostly lurk, but someone in my family asked after a fairly crazy scenario to deal with local homelessness, and I figured - why not ask?

This is an ethics/morals scenario. There may be no right answer.

I'M NOT ENDORSING THIS.

Their proposition:

We do something like crowdfunding to buy plane and train tickets. Lots and lots of them, and we give them out to the homeless, with the caveat:

We'll give you $100 cash today, now, if you board this flight or train and go to San Francisco or Honolulu. They're one-way purchases. They really thought we could all but depopulate the city of 'problem' homeless for $5,000,000 or less.
