You're sort of making it sound like it's easy to break the cycle they're in. It isn't. The deck has been stacked against them, largely from the time they were born. They have no money, can't get a job, can barely function without drugs or alcohol, and so how do they get out of it? They can either go to public places to look for money or food or booze or go to a park and just get the booze and drugs. I'm not saying it is ok Safeway to solve their problems, but shuffling them off so the NIMBYs can't see them doesn't help either.
