Not ideal solution, but I’m so happy that something is being done. I think people who don’t live in West Coast realize how much homeless people victimize working poor. That’s me and my family. Rich people don’t care that my wife can’t take the Max to work for fear of being attacked. They’ll just drive wherever they need to. My city just posted allowed camping map and guess what? It’s all around apartments because it’s close to transit. I’ve voted Democrats since I lived in this country, but they have been in charge of Oregon for ages and solved nothing.
I am a person who is victimized by homeless. If I had an instrument that gives every homeless a home, I’d use it, but I don’t have one. It’s not my job to create one either. It’s the government’s job. Now I’m given another instrument that allows me to move the problem somewhere else. I don’t care where it moves - it’s not my job to setup this system. I can only choose between my family’s safety vs some rando safety. I will ALWAYS choose the former. It’s not cruelty on my part - it’s just logic. People making these pro-homeless comments fall into 2 categories : 1. Not personally affected because they don’t live here or are rich 2. Have high tolerance of danger like those people climbing mountain without rope. I’m not one of those people so any instrument to deal with my immediate problem is welcomed.

What’s being done here exactly? I don’t see how this does anything except increase the prison population, or move the problem to a new location.
Neither of those seems like a solution. But I’m also maybe missing something?
