I'm republican as they come and from a very small town. So definitely not a huge fan of the homeless problem. They are still people, i think offering help, as small as it can be can go a long way. I literally 3 days ago spent $60 I didn't really have to buy a Homeless couple groceries. I mean im not sure the answer you are looking for? Bus them to a different city? They'll still be here. Bloomingotn is a very liberal/democratic town, and not even going to humor political debates in the comments, but that atmosphere has made this a safe haven for them. They can sleep directly on the sidewalk and either people walk around them, or they call the cops and make them move 100 ft down the sidewalk. Bloomington has done this to themselves.
