We did not have this so-called homeless situation when we had vagrancy laws that were enforced. Enter the ACLU, homeless advocates and liberal judges who declared the laws unconstitutional and wallah!  We have a major problem.  Vagrants can sleep on sidewalks, in public parks, on beaches, under freeways and wherever they want on public property, defecate anywhere, leave their trash everywhere, and there is little we can do about it.  We still may have vagrants if the old laws could be enforced, but it would not be the monumental problem that it now is.
